All of the Pokémon coverage over the last few weeks have inspired me to finally work through Omega Ruby. And I’m replaying Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal for my retro game of the month.

I’ve followed the anime on and off since it’s inception and this current region is easily the best it’s ever been. Sure, the old staples are still present, Ash is still a duntz 80% of the time and Team Rocket is an ever-present annoyance. But the animation has gotten really good and even the companions are enjoyable.…

This truly is the Donald Trump of Olympic games: puffed up with pomp, circumstance, and false bravado, but ultimately full of shit.

For Brazilian soccer fans, I’d say that’s pretty restrained.

They did that shit in WoW all the time. Every year I’d try to get that epic Frostscythe of Ahune from the Midsummer Fire Festival for my warlock. Ran that fucker as often as possibly could for 4 holidays straight. Dropped 3 times, lost the roll every time to a hunter.

Biggest takeaway from this is that Niantic has a rep. PROGRESS!

I am in love with that Litten final evolution. It checks all the boxes for me. I love fire types, I love cats, and I love wrestling! If it could somehow incorporate collecting action figures, I’d swear they pilfered the design from my subconscious.

Remember kids: Cheaters never win

This is a good start. Their lack of communication is what really bugged me. Niantic has now taken the first steps in remedying that. Continued communication and an expedited fix to the current lack of tracking will go a long way in winning back some of the good will they squandered over the last week. Here’s hoping…

Thanks for the info. I don’t even have something capable of playing it right now. Hopefully the insanity dies down by the holidays.

As someone who knows next to nothing about the game, I have to ask. Can it be played single player in order to avoid this daft swarm of lunatics?

Yeah...funny you should mention that.

So basically, they underestimated the traffic a Pokémon game would generate so they borked their own game so the servers wouldn’t go nuclear and now the game will continue to be crippled until they figure out a way to accommodate the ever decreasing traffic due to the game being mostly unplayable.

That series of tweets are the single greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps Russia has a point. Take a cursory look at the dash cams of Russian driver and tell me they need another distraction while behind the wheel.

He’s on record saying he would not give the stakes in his other companies if he won

I’d save some of that big $$, Curt. I hear work has been a bit scarce lately

That sound you hear is the furious scribblings of 1,000,000 artists and authors creating the foulest acts and scenarios their imaginations can spew forth.

I don’t think it is. Besides the trash and eggings, it’s a public park that the public is frequenting. Just because it’s getting a higher volume of traffic doesn’t make it a bad thing. Most of it sounds like problems surrounding the park instead of the park itself and that is poor foresight in city planning. Don’t…

Despite the color clashes, Deadpool is confirmed for Team Mystic.
