This seems believable; it hits close to home for me.

That they refer to the current bloby graphics as “high-resolution” worries me. The only elements of the current PC version that seem to resolve any more detail than the original graphics are vector-based content like the (poorly fonted) text and (gaudy, over-sized) menus.

I’m totally with you, Tom! The problem is that too few cars are offered in green and those that are often have less-than-great hue choices. I’ve had to resort to photoshopping existing cars to be in the colors I want them and trying to dream my way to happiness.

Is there a game like this for Korean? I’d love to have this sort of tool to help me learn the hangeul characters.

“It was one of the first memes ever”

Back when I originally posted my comment, the Blu-ray hadn’t been released yet and I had missed the theatrical showings in my area.

“Since culture and the way people thinks differs greatly from country to country, I think it’s impossible to entrust this Japanese style story and characters with Japanese mentality to foreign actors.”

I also didn’t know it was only for iOS. The article mentioned it as being on “your phone”, which is both technically false and, practically, should mean minimally that it’s on Android and iOS.

Not that I’m defending the pricing 100%, but it’s important to remember that when the company sets a price, they’re going to take into account the cost of the whole production chain. When Blu-Ray was newer, mastering to the Blu-Ray probably took a substantially longer time to do than it did for DVD, so it probably…

What, no 2017 Civic Type R?

I’m confused — are both ZoE games being re-released on PS4, or is it only the second one?

On the flipside, when I was in Tokyo in 2010 I was able to almost perfectly match up buildings, streets, and other locations around Shinjuku Station with what was depicted in the original Digimon Adventure anime, which was released in 1999. (A guilty pleasure of mine.) I mean, there was one building (West from the…

“Green is so ridiculously underrated as a sports car color. It’s not just for Jags and old Astons, guys. This low-key tone is a very groovy alternative to blue if you want to stand out without being loud.”

Yet, many of the most confusing decisions regarding removing manuals as an option are happening in the realm of dedicated sports cars. That the 2 Series, the only real purpose of which is to be a less practical sportier version of the 4 Series, might be losing its manual is just odd.

Oddly, they had another video out yesterday about the music or something that was way tonally different -- “Driving is for everyone”:

I see what you mean, yeah. I wouldn’t go quite as far as to assume the existence of some kind of coverup, but it does sort of feel like Nintendo didn’t quite think the DLC packs would be valuable enough on their own and went scrounging for bits and pieces to add to this first release.

Don’t forget that the DLC that’s the topic of this post is only a part of the package that’s releasing later in the year. Basically, they planned one DLC package for $20 and are releasing it two pieces: one with the small stuff (map upgrade, challenge levels, hard mode, masks) this summer and one with the bigger stuff…

Cool, thanks! I remember seeing that it would have a limited theater run before, but wasn’t sure when it would happen.

Ah, thanks for reminding me!

People keep recommending Your Name but, last I checked, it’s not available (legally) outside of Japan yet. This is like the fifth article on Gawker/Gizmodo/Kinja sites I’ve read that told me I absolutely had to see this movie, but outside of illegal streaming, fan subs, and watching it without understanding what’s…
