Here’s the actual best Penny Arcade this week:

Meaning those aren’t the battery standards we need implemented yet.

That’s the argument corporations make when people argue to standardize anything, but just what “innovation” are being brought to the table right now?  None that I can see, so let’s just pick standard voltages and sizes already.

I have a hard time even working up the desire to download it when it’s just going to vanish in a few months forever...

Every single one of my portable devices, from my GBA SP to my PSP to my Switch, is sitting on the charger and always are.

Can we finally at least introduce a standardized set of rechargeable battery sizes? I don’t want to have to trust some shady no-name vendor and just hope their aftermarket battery doesn’t explode.

Instead of bespoke batteries built for every single individual device, let’s have a set of sizes like “A, B, C, D” and so…

This is literally an advertisement for her business. No one is going to confuse a video game picture of her work with getting an actual tattoo. “Hey check out my tat.” “That’s a video game, you don’t actually have that tattoo yourself.” “Whaaaa?”

I don’t think she has a case.

Let’s give credit to FFXV for one thing. The protagonists are well rounded people that you like to hang around with. They did them well and it was a marked improvement over the cookie cutter “paint by numbers” JRPG protagonists with zero personality throughout the entire FFXIII series.

The issue is that ONLY the four…

Finish the fight?  Right...  MS is going to keep making Halo games until we’re all dead.  We’ll die with the “story” (such as it is) unfinished.

I prefer an open standard to proprietary hardware. I prefer Sony’s solution. I still remember the 360 nonsense with proprietary HDDs, heck I still remember that the XBox One has rather idiotic and baseless restrictions on just which sizes of drive I can replace the internal one with.  With the 360 in particular,…

It uses the Halo engine and everything, so let’s go ahead and get this game in the Master Chief Collection already!

Can we please stop pretending that he ever said that? It’s stupid, it isn’t funny, and this gag just got a line removed purely because of people intentionally misinterpreting what Mario says.  Thank you for ruining things internet.

Agreed.  Like with DKC2, most of those hero coins weren’t exactly hidden from sight but usually involved creative platforming puzzles to obtain them.  You saw them, you saw what was blocking you, but figuring out how to get to them or what you needed to bring back?  That was the real puzzle.  My main issue with the…

No, no we haven’t.  I learned from Picross on Gameboy, but every game is someone’s first so of course, I mean of COURSE they need to have instructions for Picross.  I mean, it’s not exactly obvious.

I don’t consider finding the coins a chore, I consider it exploration itself.  I find getting all those coins fun, and solving the puzzles required to get some of them a rewarding challenge.  I consider that one of my favorite parts of DKC2 as well.

It sure does identify the company, that’s true.  It doesn’t do much to enlighten us as to the program’s purpose or distinguish itself from other EA programs.

This image is very close to the kind of entertainment center my parents used to have and this rather straightforward modification is gorgeous.  I’m going to shop around for something like this and see what I can get my hands on.  I WANT this in my life.

Who in marketing is getting paid to have more awkward yet LESS identifiable and distinct names attached to products lately? What is going on with this trend?!

EA if you’re worried about the name being the problem due to bad association, you sure didn’t do yourselves any favors with the new one.

I want to fight Culex next time, with him going on about trying to find “that mustached man in red” that bested him last time.

I’d love to get one made for 65" wide screens. There’s two things I’ll note. First of all, I can’t possibly see a reason to get these newer 85" and 95" TVs. That’s just WAY too much TV. At that point I have to move my head side to side just to take in the whole image and even the biggest living room doesn’t seem to…
