That’s true. Still I think I’ll hold off for now, if only to save money. Right now Breath of the Wild is enticing but that’s it for me.

They’re selling a whole shit ton of consoles so that’s going to come.

The Switch is the ideal system for sports games. My gf will sit through pretty much any game, but she will constant complain if I am playing any sports game. Being able to play a full sports game on the system in handheld mode is just awesome. 2K, Madden, and FIFA on the couch while she watches whatever sounds amazing…

Not trying to initiate a confrontation. I just saw this comment a few minutes earlier and thought it might offer some perspective. I personally think it’s great because it challenges preconceptions.

Luke turned to the dark side.

‘...did you do some scenes with Iron Man?

Gita, thank you for this--and particularly for taking the time to collect opinions from the broader fanbase.

I personally find what Jontron had to say during the “debate” (if such it can be called with a straight face) absolutely repugnant, on both a (personal) moral level, and as someone who is reasonably well-versed…

Pretty sure that’s what Sonic Mania is.

Yeah I mean 23 seasons since 2013? Man that’s even more efficient then anime seasons.

That’s the way it is now, if I understand correctly. It’s not like it used to be where buying now could lead to you missing discounts like flash sales and stuff in the future. Doesn’t work that way anymore - one flat discount, all sale long.

All I know is that Grim Fandango was $3 yesterday and I snagged it in a heartbeat.
