I think that by accidentally reading this, I accidentally ruined my Chrono Trigger experience, which I haven't finished yet. oh god.

It was Chappie, for me, a film I had low expectations for, since all the mixed reviews I've seen. But it turned out well, it is obviously not a great film, but it has good ideas, a very cool robot as a main character, and well executed action. There are a few Robocop throwbacks, both to the original and the remake,…

That was certainly something.

Everything (True Detective, Game of Thrones, Daredevil, The Americans, Breaking Bad etc) is pulp. Right? I mean, slick, enjoyable genre fare, with a certain B-movie vibe, or at least, as said, a genre element. I don't know about Mad Men because I haven't seen any episode, but it certainly doesn't strike me as pulp,…

Maybe I'm stretching it, but I could consider the Sonic The Hedgehog 16 bit sprite an example of hair as personality and clever design. His giant blue spikes work as a funky sort of saiyan-styled hairdo, which is explicited in his super sonic transformation.

Joss Whedon pasta, assemble.

Sounds totally reasonable, I'll dive further into that article comments section.

Maybe we can try to fit Super Meat Boy into this body horror obsessions of McMillen, given that he constantly dies, leaves a trace of gruesome blood wherever he was and her girlfriend is a band aid. I don't know, maybe there's something to be said there. Probably not.

I'm on a permanent backlog run to due being poor and not being able to afford current gen systems and/or a new macbook, so it's 16 bit Sonic and handheld Zelda for me this weekend (both GB color and DS). It's great, obviously.

Oh, of course I should! But it's expensive, electronics in argentina are crazy expensive. I settle down buying second hand consoles, my latest adquisition is a Nintendo Ds Lite, at least I can play the portable cel-shaded Zeldas. And Link's Awakening on my GB color =)

I'm downloading this game now because of this article. Games Radar (ex Total Film) also ran a feature about it, so I guess it´s about time I play it for once. I hope I can run it on my macbook! I was always a fan of the cel-shaded cartoony look, It looks charming, and, in my opinion, has aged better than the Ocarine…

I started reading the Blake Harris Book "Console Wars", and it´s been a compelling experience so far. I've read a few chapters, covering the arrival of Michael Kalinske as Sega of America's CEO, up until the 1991 CES, in which Sonic was unveiled, and Nintendo stabbed Sony in the back. It's hard not to agree with the…

I would never be able to complete any JRPG with a walktrough, at all.

I've been playing Link´s Awakening for months now, and I'm at 60%ish of the game, those games were endless!

You could argue that Kirby is actually the most terrfying, he blends with the creatures he eats in a sort of David Cronenberg-ish fashion.

So sonic colors is a stinker? I just bought a nintendo ds, and i enjoy playing, it's pretty much what i expect from sonic: rushing trough brightly colored levels. I'm only familiar with the sega genesis era and sonic adventure, though, so it is my first experience with late 2000s sonic.

I finally saw synth britannia just a couple of days ago.

I loved this article! A very (very) specific observation of a very specific piece of popular culture and old school gaming. It's amazing how the tiniest details are used to convey the larger themes, this is the very fabric of great storytelling. I feel all fuzzy and happy now as a result of reading this.

No, but it has a guy named Grey that engages into BDSM activites with a girl, so, it's worth a comparison, I guess. But no, it's not a neo-noir sleazy erotic thriller like the others.

Of course! although it would be nice to have an extended cut with some rooney mara-zeta jones action.
