You didn’t really lose Antimatter Condensers and Prisms. They added 3 new buildings in the middle of the progression, that basically took the place of existing buildings and bumped everything else up.

This continues to feel like Gaster was just some cut character that still had vestigial references in the code. Maybe Toby Fox just didn’t have as many funny dialogue ideas for him as Papyrus and Sans so he cut Gaster out to give more time to writing the sequences involving those characters.

OK, cool, that’s how I thought it worked. I had heard enough about the game that I did a pacifist playthrough my first time through the game, and between the normal ending, and then loading up my file again and doing all the other stuff, I thought I had seen all of the pacifist ending stuff, but the way BrandonMkIII…

So the first time around, even if you do a pacifist run, there are still elements of the ending that you don’t get?

It’s always Dan Ryckert.

Cool feat, but wow do I ever hate the music the guy plays over his video of the run.

Tales fans are mindless drones that buy every game, regardless of whether they’re any good or not. The games sell based on the name alone. It’s really quite sad.

In no world is Dr. Boom fair. The Hearthstone dev team is understaffed, so they rarely devote resources to rebalancing old cards because it would take time to test the balance changes. Instead they spend their time making new cards and hoping the whole thing fixes itself. For the insane value you get, Dr. Boom should…

I can’t imagine giving enough of a shit about Dota, League, Counter-Strike, TF2, etc. that I would ever find Nerf Now’s style of topical comic funny. “lol, the playerbase is complaining about something, let me make a comic about it that is dated and irrelevant almost immediately.” I just see no redeeming qualities in…

I mean, old Nintendo consoles didn’t have moving parts. No fans for ventilation, no disc drives, etc. Moving parts tend to be what breaks down.

It amazes me that they’ve continued to fuck up on every Puzzle Quest since the original REALLY GOOD game. Even Puzzle Quest 2 was a dull slog by comparison where they stripped out many features for basically no benefit.

So I totally backed that Dr. McNinja game, because hey why not. I thought about mentioning it to Schreier once he started doing these Kickstarter articles, but I just didn’t have the heart. If I thought they were some jerkoffs who just took the money and made no effort to make the game, I would’ve said something, but…

Yeah, he has a certain practiced diction and meter when publicly speaking. I feel like he almost certainly got lessons on public speaking or something at some point. I don’t think it’s a style you pick up by accident.

The Princess Kenny theme song kills me every single time. It’s so perfect.

Calling the PSP “one of their most successful systems” is a bit of a stretch. While it sold phenomenally well in Japan, it did much worse internationally. The PlayStation and PlayStation 2 are more successful systems than the PSP by most metrics you could think of.

“Translator Clyde Mandelin (Attack on Titan, Summer Wars) has turned his website into a book called Legends of Localization: The Legend of Zelda, which digs very deep into the changes and quirks that separate the Japanese and English versions of the very first Legend of Zelda, from character traits to sound files.”

The headline for this ad really is offensively stupid.

I seem to remember the Kotaku review mentioning that diversity, but also having problems with it. It does seem like they picked various folklore and literature that included nonwhite characters on purpose. If they were just picking characters by “how well known is that folklore/book”, then John Henry is fairly well…

The new map actually reminds me more of Sky Temple, the Egypt level with 3 shrines to control. People kinda already play Sky Temple like Towers of Doom, where they often win the match nowhere near the enemy core because they just won a fight over the last objective.
