Before you start telling me “WE ONLY HAVE 10 FINGERS,” remember that your fingers have segments to them. You can use those extra segments to count.

“Why are we using years, months, days, etc. to measure time?”

Bringing new meaning to Instant Mac & Cheese.

This just looks like Half-Life to me. I don't get it.

Great article, fascinating read.

Been mostly on a Gamecube spree with Chibi-Robo and F-Zero GX, and whoo-boy, they are worlds apart in terms of difficulty.

Where are they getting the (supposedly) higher-quality music from? A lot of people like to listen to older music, some of which could never be re-recorded due to, you know, band members dying.

That lamp is way too distracting.

In Project M, my brother's favorite game to play was "Bomb-Link Tether," as I have nicknamed it. You'd play on the Pokemon Stadium stage as either of the Link characters and use your tether move to throw bombs at the other player.

This just begs the question: will those who aren't fans of Pokemon be swayed?

Two things I don't like rolled up into one big, money-making cigar that the execs are smoking to exhaustion.

I wanted Mario Paint as a Smash character. You'd use the Wii U Gamepad to draw stuff that players would have to avoid or something.

In a similar vein to Smashketball, I developed a stage specifically for my new favorite mode: Coin Battles.

Speaking of iced frogs...

It's really weird because I've seen sort of the opposite argument before - that games should only be artistic endeavors and that every other game is crap.

QUOTE | "I feel people just don't want to associate making games with making money. It sort of breaks the taboo of making art for art's sake, which I think is kind of stupid." - Game Theory president Marguerite Dibble, talking about how many indie developers seem to "romanticize poverty."

I think you're having what I call a "power fantasy." You seem to have the unrealistic expectation that with a gun, you can immediately save anyone from anything, anywhere, no practice needed.

Game: Fire Emblem (forget which one)

I think the problem has nothing to do with dexterity/reflex. I view sports as analog activities - stuff you can play without a calculator or computer on-hand. Video games are digital activities, not analog. That, at least in my mind, removes video games as sport.

What if it's a wacky Japanese game?
