Holy shit, do people actually take memes this seriously? They’re funny pictures with captions not a doctoral thesis on existentialism.

When the 3DS first came out I lived in a 2 story flat upper level. A new family moved in below, well a single mom her son....and a her total loser bf. So one day I notice that I’m constantly getting Mii pass stuff from someone named Ryan*. I didn’t think much of it at the time until one day there was a very light…

Seems like the hip thing nowadays is to talk about how awesome Majora’s Mask is and how overrated OoT is. I think it boils down to gameplay vs. story. As people get older, they care more about story so it’s not too surprising. Disappointing, but not surprising.

That’s a bet people have been making (and losing) for two decades.

Nah, Nintendo will be fine.

SEGA’s downfall was the culmination of historically awful business decisions for nearly a decade, a dwindling arcade market internationally that made up a ton of their core business, horrible communication and in-fighting between the Japanese and North American branches, and the PS2…

So I have a funny story about consumers and their perceptions of packaging.

This is the correct take. None of it really made sense, but the Goo Goo Dolls really don’t fit in that list.

Staind and Nickelback at least have a shared strain of nu-grunge in their DNA, although Staind leans way heavier with its metal/hardcore influences. Funnily enough, Aaron Lewis did a solo stint with some brooding country material a few years back, which swings him back around to the Nickelback/3 Doors Down camp. But…

Not even. The Goo Goo Dolls were a punk-ish Replacements-style outfit turned straight up lite rock that your mom listens to when she fills the hot tub, lights the candles and breaks out the toolbox of dildos. There’s not a single song in their discography that one would honestly call “post-grunge.” They’re not even a…

They also made a name for themselves long before the other two.

I have no idea what criteria anyone would use beyond “white guys with guitars in their band” to put Nickelback, Creed and the Goo Goo Dolls on the same list.

There needs to be a game made about the translator that had an existential crisis during the No More Heroes announcement.

A cat.

Those screenshots make me want to wash out my eyes with bleach. Make it stop.

Final Fantasy VI had some gorgeous spritework, one of the best of its era. I have no idea why they felt the need to replace it with... that.

Baldwin’s reaction is like that republican lady who got all mad at Ana Navarro for saying pussy on the news when she was quoting Donald Trump - same misdirection, same reduction of the word to the single, most recent instance of it’s use while blatantly ignoring the referenced, and far more significant, use.

I’ve been a big fan of the deep breath and wait out technique with a bored expression :P Works wonders on toddlers, teenagers, and adults throwing tantrums! That and then actually talking to them about the inappropriateness of their actions - works best on teens, responses from toddlers and adults will vary.

I *thought* I wanted to be a teacher at one point, and maybe if I had started my training with younger kids it would have worked out, but in my next-to-last college semester I did my student teaching with high school juniors, and OH. MY. GOD.

Damn I remember this getting previewed in EGM.

Younger Me would have been making plane reservations for the next one now.
