New head canon: Bowser and Peach are divorced after Peach left him for Mario. Peach got half the kingdom, Bowser got the other half and custody of the kids. Bowser still misses her and tries to get her to spend time with the kids sometimes. The new stepdad Mario invariably shows up to take her home so they can go back…

The character looks like he should be named “Hario”

Luke it is imperative that Kotaku asks Nintendo to clarify what happens to your free game after a month

No significant launch titles other than Zelda? What about Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8? They’re basically new titles for anyone who didn’t get a Wii U (read: everyone)

It’s Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas, buddy. That car gets stolen as soon as you turn your back on it.

Have you PLAYED Drawception? Waluigi’s a king in that community. Him, Robbie Rotten, and Yellmo.

Your argument becomes less effective when you remember that a lot of people wanted Bernie

So basically his position is:

No harm. If swords and sorcery married with political intrigue is now mainstream, that can only be a good thing. Plenty of varied stories can be told in that milieu.

That’s true. The purpose of the interview is not to make the audience like the interviewer; it’s to get the interviewee to talk about stuff that will be interesting. If Paxman had tried to be charming and insightful, he’d be interviewing wrong. Being charming and insightful is what he’s supposed to coax out of his…

So basically Bowie reckoned that the future was in fragmentation and the emergence of subcultures (as opposed to traditional, monolithic “this is what culture is and should be”), that popular music started that ball rolling and the Internet has taken that and run with it.

Right there with ya, buddy

This is a real person? Looks uncanny valley to me

Not practicing proper saber discipline

Honestly, half the problem with the DCEU is that it feels like we’ve gone back to the Liefeld/McFarlane era where it’s all about how cool and edgy you can make everything look. Zack Snyder is the Rob Liefeld of movies and most comic fans today remember the bad ol’ days and don’t like being reminded.

I’m not terribly excited here because 3 of the 5 are characters we haven’t met yet, so I’m less “I wonder how they’ll interact” and more “I wonder if they’ll be good at all”.

If you’re watching a late night talk show host expecting sensitivity and respectfulness you’re gonna have a bad time. Those things are antithetical to comedy, basically. If it makes you feel any better, he almost certainly doesn’t mean any of the stuff he says when he’s on camera.

I would LOVE for whoever the “Conan” is to be paired with Dara O Briain as a “games literate” co-host.

If he wasn’t dismissive of the medium it’d have to be called “Enthusiastic Gamer” or something. The entire format is “person who doesn’t get games, playing games”. The whole appeal is seeing games through the eyes of someone who isn’t massively familiar with a franchise, drawing attention to absurdity we’ve become…

Ah, OK. Well I still don’t think it looks good, but I forgot that game jam teams often don’t have an actual graphic artist and have to make due. For someone who isn’t actually an artist, that’s not bad
