I laughed out loud when I kicked his ass in the first fight and he had to pay me something like $1,200. I’ve had a pokemon for 30 seconds and I’m already using it to shake down my childhood best friend. Gotta love it.

And then collectors will pay to have them shipped and re-shipped all across the globe, further expanding the impact beyond just a complete and utter waste of materials.

That’s fair enough, and it sounds like you’re rational about it. In fact, you being rational about it means you’re one of the few who aren’t on board with the game but DON’T need to shut up about it. Read more

How do you know one of the new Pokemon won’t become a favorite though? You’re throwing out an entire game because one Pokemon isn’t in it?

Having no technical knowledge on the subject myself, my answer would be: Nintendo. Read more

Haha, I did the exact same thing my first day playing and dismantled someone’s ladder accidentally. Contrary to your experience, I just immediately felt shame like I had done something deeply offensive (probably because I was raised Catholic, but that’s another discussion for another time).

Nobody made you defend Troy because nobody should ever, ever defend Troy. Read more

It’s the only movie ever (at least that I can remember), that I’ve rented on demand and watched twice before the time ran out on the rental.

I mean, as someone who knows zero Japanese and wasn’t in the room when the question was asked to hear what was actually said, it would be impossible for me to prove anything to you regarding the initial conversation and its translation, so you win? Read more

Huh, I guess I just forgot they were less than normal retail price. Happy to admit I’m wrong there.

And therein lies one of the problems. That’s a Polygon report on a translation of an interview from a Japanese game magazine. There are several degrees of separation between what was actually said and what people over here ended up reading, and no ability to ask follow up questions to clarify what the original answer… Read more

1) I know you’re not a gamergater. You actually sound like a reasonable person, so that’s admittedly a bit of an exaggeration on my part Read more

I don’t think I’ve ever seen people so eager to pay a monthly subscription to a mega-corporation for the privilege of watching a bunch of things they’ve already seen, and one episode of a cool new show.

None of those games are even relevant to this conversation. Read more

Absolutely, nobody on either side owes anybody anything. Read more

Could very well be that I missed something since I haven’t followed every detail here, but what did they lie about specifically? Read more

You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders. Read more

Man, people really want to shit on this game. I, for one, am a 34 year old man who can’t wait to play this and go on a new adventure with new pokemon to catch and doesn’t give a single shit whether I can use the same team I’ve been using since 1998. Read more

Very true. Honestly, to me that’s one of the reasons I’m waiting to sign up for Disney+. Outside of the Mandalorian, there’s no NEW content on there right now that I’m interested in, and I don’t have enough desire to re-watch older Disney or Marvel movies to make it worth it. Read more
