Damn they removed the guys skin?!  Seems a bit extreme

I’ve got 3 headsets and this still doesn’t solve my issue. It needs to be cool to the touch, or have fans built in blowing on the area under the eyes and on the forehead to prevent sweating which will fog up the lenses in only a few minutes. It’s even worse if you’re wearing glasses, live in a warm climate, or…

I can’t believe the article didn’t mention ai at all. The ai can program, the ai can write, and it can produce art assets. It’s no big mystery what’s going on here.

I could have sworn this came out last year

They probably work on several games at the same time. Just because they were working on Tears of the Kingdom, doesn’t mean they weren’t also working on other future Zelda games as well. Same as Mario. If an idea won’t work in the soonest game, maybe it will work in another iteration down the road. Like how Miyamoto…

I don’t think it did work for Sony, I got a PS4 and I feel no reason to buy a 5 now. Because just adding a number there doesn’t do anything for me, it’s still just a Playstation and if I haven’t played all the games on my PS4 or barely played it, the PS5 has nothing to offer me. It just sounds like more of the same,…

Well actually that doesn’t make me want to buy a new system at all, neither does the Mario Odyssey idea. I don’t have kids for the multiple accounts it’s kind of a niche situation and I was bored by the time I got to the end of Mario Odyssey, the last thing I’d want is more of that. It’s a new console, I expect it to…

Switch 2 just sounds like a more powerful Switch. I already got a Switch. Higher resolution, fps whatever means nothing to me, I’m perfectly content with the Switch I already own. But if they introduced something new that could do something different, like a Nintendo Button or Nintendo Witch, it could trick me into…

Strikers shouldn’t be surprising. They released right after the fantastic Switch Sports soccer. That game is so great, there wasn’t a chance a Mario sports game was going to be any better. I mean why buy a Soccer game if you just bought one a month and a half ago. And the Wii/Switch Sports franchise is pretty good…

10 years later...

I get that, but you need to attract an audience to play it in order for them to get anything from it.  The cartoony characters and colorful atmosphere get all ages to play.  Besides, it’s not there to spread a message, it’s a video game sold for profit.  They just want people to buy it and play it.  Anything else is a…

It really varies, a 2 second cutscene is one thing but movies and tv exist for a reason. Arcade style games should exist, story games have their place but it sure shouldn’t be the whole of the medium as you suggest. Katamari didn’t need minutes of dialogue from the king to be good. The gameplay should speak for…

It just gets in the way, well I can deal with a brief little bit most games get carried away.  If I wanted to watch a movie I’d watch a movie, if I got a game I want to push buttons and interact not sit there.  Portal and Half Life did it good, that was cool getting little bits of story while I played, but what was so…

I don’t see how this is any different than Mario or Zelda or Samus Aran or Kirby. They all kill thousands in those games. Mario is crushing animals beneath his feet, literally lighting his enemies on fire, melts the skin off Bowser falling into a pit of lava, and yet it’s a jolly good adventure rated E for everyone.…

I’d buy fries, but I don’t go to Mcdonalds anymore since they got rid of salads.

Seems like you could have sumarised those first 4 words into just ventriloquist, since there’s only 1, unless you count Bobby Hill and Chip Block.

I like Mario Kart, this isn’t Mario Kart. Even if I didn’t find the characters and settings repulsive, Mario Kart isn’t a grind where whoever has the best stats wins the race. Sure it’s unfair in a random way, but I never got the feeling that because I didn’t play enough that my in-game stats wouldn’t be good enough…

Liquid Television was awesome, especially the Aeon Flux cartoons.  Mike Judge had some great stuff on there too.

I’ll add Interstate 60, a real mindfuck but in a fun way. By Bob Gale of Back to the Future fame, it’s a fun show about a mischievous magic man who grants wishes (Gary Oldman) and a highway that’s not on any map, and the people and towns that that road connects to. Plus it’s got Amy Smart, Michael J. Fox (briefly), Chr…

Nice list, but I’d recommend Katamari Damacy, Jet Grind Radio is pretty cool too, and Switch Sports is great fun if you want to move around a little.
