The sexy characters themselves aren't a problem. It's part of the game's charm. It's that they're the focus of the game marketing, to the point where they define the franchise for non-players. In fact, one of the suggestions I make in the article is for Team Ninja not to change the current state of the characters.

My wife is traveling out of town for a few days by herself soon, and because she's an awesome, friendly, and outgoing person, she thought maybe she'd tried to connect with someone in the town she'll be visiting (where she's never been before), to see if anyone wanted to maybe grab a drink, show her where the good…

People want Nintendo to be more like their competitors, so they are now more like their competitors. Ask and you shall receive.

Yup, this is another one of the sad truths that people don't seem to factor in before making their opinions known. Every single medical service, including 'not for profit' hospitals (that are totally for profit), increases the amount they charge on everything by a significant amount to use as a negotiating tactic…

If the Waffle House waitress is friendly to me, asks if I want drink refills and just generally seems to care whether I enjoy my meal, then she gets the same percentage from me that I give a server in a more expensive restaurant. In fact, I'm inclined to tip her more because she's likely being paid a pittance.

Right, because the Vita is powerful enough to run games at a stable framerate AND native 544p resolution.

Oh wait, it doesn't. Most Vita games don't run at native resolution at all, and have tons of framerate problems.

Meanwhile, 9.9/10 3DS games all run at native resolution, and most have a stable framerate with a few…

And so, Steven, that's your answer: Gas is cheaper in the States, which gives us less incentive to buy cheap, diesel-powered cars. And we drive more frequently – and longer distances – than Europeans, which means we want more gadgets, and more toys, and more size in order to get our money's worth behind the wheel. And…

What you're saying makes absolutely no sense. So in your mind, Amiibos are only popular because of Nintendo's lack of mastery over the concept of supply and demand as it relates to "manufactured goods"? So then how do you explain the fact that Nintendo has been in existence for over 100 years, subsisting on and…

Every talented female or minority will be assumed to be less qualified than their white male peers.

Yeah, it's the 100% opposite of cult. It's a hugely successful mega-blockbuster with tons of critical praise.

I don't know, I think it's more conditioning on some levels. Some would likely be down to potential issues with anger, sure. But what he did has been done as a prank numerous times before, without "mental issues" being brought into it.

It'd be smarter to sell your cards to the idiots that would buy them. I made myself over seven dollars selling a backlog of those stupid things. Bought myself a game that was on sale with the money.

You know, if I had to scroll all the way through my article to read your comment, the least you could have done was reach the second paragraph of my article.

I have both (okay, all 3). Wii U wins the year for solid, triple A titles hands down.

One year later I just bought a Wii U.

it still doesn't really have enough exclusives for me to want to jump on it yet. It's really starting to become more and more clear that a decent PC and a Wii U is the way to go this generation.

Well, the people tweeting weren't necessarily the same people who made the Amazon listings — they could've just be taking advantage of the situation, which IMO enters a greyer moral area. (The people who made the Amazon listings, on the other hand, are straight-up con artists.)

This is true in my experience. I wasn't really born well off, but I made the effort to go to college and get an education just to be greeted with crippling student loan debt and companies who underpay my position.

Ah, the drink and cigarettes addiction cycle in the last panel should be drawn in the first panel. "We have no money for..." is often said by parents who burn and drink their money away.
