I would be iffy on Switch versions of EA games, simply for the port quality factor. EA isn’t exactly lauded for their quality control on ports, and the Switch doesn’t seem to be plug-and-play for other companies porting content over. If you ask me up front if I’d rather play an EA game on PC or Switch, obviously I’m…

I have two Switches (one for me and my wife, one for my two kids) and I’ve had three Joycons stuck with drifting and one with RF connectivity (you could sit right in front of the Switch and get intermittent response from Joycon).

$80 is too damn much for a pair of tiny RF controllers that consistently come up faulty in…

FFVIII is my favorite FF game, and I’ve never been ashamed of that.

As far as mechanics, yeah, the Draw/Junction system is a tough one. It didn’t necessarily deter me or bother me, I learned to enjoy them for what they were; but I do get why people hate them. Everything else, though, was transcendental at the time. The…

Without hesitation, Chrono Trigger. The DS remake fueled this fire even more, because they went the extra few feet to tie CT and CC together, while answering some lingering questions that have hung in the air since 1995.

If they can preach about remaking every game in their catalog, regardless of profitability, then…

It’s pretty cut and dry to me. I don’t get why people are calling BS on Uniqlo. It says right in the rules that the entrants may not put forward designs that have previously been monetized or used online. Wen Pei reused a design he had been selling online, so he was disqualified.

Unfortunate, because it’s a rad design,…

I think one reviewer really set the tone for my ability to enjoy it by clarifying that it’s heavily skill-based, and that you just have to enjoy it for what it is and not get competitive or you’ll get too frustrated at how bad you are.

He’s absolutely right. I’m absolute garbage at the game, but the ability to create…

Am I the only one getting this reference, or...?

I hated the ending. Not for the thematic points or exact things that happened, but because of how lazily or thoughtlessly they were executed in a series that was built on suprisingly-tight amounts of logic and consequence for a fantasy show.

I really hope it’s not Palpatine clones, but...I really feel like it’s Palpatine clones.

Even though they more or less axed most of the ancillary stuff from canon, there was a series of comics that focused on post-RotJ Luke having to battle Palpatine’s clones. Despite those not being canon anymore, it seems like the…

I took my 7-year-old to it on Friday and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. It was a rare kid movie that offered something for adults with subtle adult humor and themes, without ever disconnecting the kid appeal to do it. They pushed nostalgia throughout the movie, but somehow never made it feel forced…

I’m still bothered by how bad these people are at warfare.

First, the Battle of the Bastards. Seems like there’s some semblance of strategy at first, mostly from Davos using common sense. Then Jon Snow goes charging in on his own, forcing his army to rush into the numerically superior, and archer-heavy opponent. No…

I get it, but here’s the thing...the White Walkers have always been a huge threat for the North, and only an afterthought to the South. If the Night King waited to show up until Jon and Dany finished the war with Cersei, it’d be a huge case of plot convenience, because he’s been ready to roll for a while. Instead,…

I’m sure some other nerd has said it already, but wights didn’t break into the crypts - they were already there. The decrepit old corpses of the Starks were raised when the Night King used his dead-people-raising power.

I had three nitpicks with the episode:

1. Again, no realistic battle strategy at all. Definitely…

Well, I have two realms of argument for you, here...

I feel the same way. He’s a disturbed and twisted mad scientist, and he plays for the “bad” team, but he’s essentially just a mad scientist happy that someone believes in his work. And he’s obviously really fucking good at it. He created a zombie through medieval science, and he somehow turned all of Varys’ child-spies…

I don’t know, man...on one hand, I get it. It makes absolute sense for all the Northerners to be pissed about Jon bending the knee to Daenerys, since that’s...kind of the exact opposite of what they wanted. But on the other hand, I’m not a fan of introducing more drama/loyalty subplots at the conclusion of the story.…

I know it’s been said to death, but the bottom line I take with Anthem is that as much as I try, there’s absolutely zero motivation to play it. It just feels like they took a lot of good concepts and just butchered the execution, because as cool and exciting as it looks and feels like it should be, it plays the exact…

I was more offended by the terrible tattoos and performance than the nipples, but I do appreciate the “Nipplegate” irony.

Awesome to see OCR featured. For nerds like me who really enjoyed the music of a lot of games, it’s a treasure trove. I was really looking forward to this one, as CT and CC are two of my favorite games, and both have downright existential soundtracks that fit their games perfectly.

Not to add to the pile, but it really…

Honestly, this is just another S-E cashgrab. It doesn’t surprise me that we’re seeing this more on the Switch - a console (and console family, since the Wii) somewhat notorious for half-assed ports.

Chrono Trigger for PC eventually became playable, but not after what was essentially a slap in the face of fans in the…
