Well then, enjoy the six character meta topped by Fox and Falco with little real variety while it lasts, because CRT’s are getting harder to find, the controllers and general hardware are falling apart and they don’t want to play any other way for frame reasons, so the bottom’s gonna drop out eventually.

For those moments when you absolutely must die of a heart attack in the next five minutes.

This would be a bigger travesty if Peeps were actually any good to begin with.

On top of all the problems with idol culture, it’s all compounded by basic expectations of Japanese society; never cause a scene, don’t inconvenience others, no one wants to hear your problems, be humble at any cost, don’t stand up for yourself because it could trouble those around you, never be different, never break…

I actually didn’t read his Darth Vader book, though I’ve read Aarons Star Wars book in trade.

Nope. I actually forgot Gillen did a Young Avengers book. Nothing against the group, I’m sure they’re fine, but I was never super interested in the characters anyway and I had other favorites as far as the Junior Avengers trope goes (the Academy kids, who’ve vanished off the face of Marvel at this point).

This is one area DC’s been a lot better than Marvel at. Infinite Crisis was a goddamn tie-in nightmare and probably the uber example of the over-reaching super-event, but around Final Crisis they started taking a “less is more” approach to their tie-ins and confined most of them to special miniseries. These days, even…

Gillen’s good at writing comics, too. I frequently wish Marvel had let him cut loose more. The only run he got there so far that wasn’t hampered by other shit going on in the line was his Iron Man run, which he had the tall order of following Fraction. He barely got a year on Thor, which was mainly used to clean up…

The past five years have really kind of opened my eyes to what a pile of dog turds the hardcore gaming community is. I used to use the term “gamer” as an identifier, but now I’m so embarrassed by the whole thing I could never imagine using it again, no matter how much I play games. Gamers were a mistake.

I’d rather other suits with designs significantly different from the regular suit be done, since they’ve only done three per DLC. Otherwise I don’t give much of a crap. Though I will admit that after what a toxic cesspool the Raimi stans have been about it, a petty part of me hopes they never get what they want.

I don’t get it. The differences are minor compared to the regular suit. I’d rather have the Superior Spider-Man suit or a bunch of others ahead of what’s basically the regular Spider-Man suit.

These “oh my god, SPOILERS” reactions always baffle me.

You’re not wrong, and a lot of what’s lost in the translation are the things that made Bethesda games worth wading through the problems. It’s been mentioned in other comments, but they’ve managed to get by since Oblivion entirely on story and lore - which they are now mocking fans for caring about, so I don’t even…

Wait, what the hell? Hi Score Girl got an anime? And what’s more, it uses the actual games and systems in the show? Is Japan just not as anal about that sort of thing as the US?

I definitely didn’t feel the same way about her. Don’t get me wrong, I got Emily out because I didn’t want any of them to die, but this sequence, for all her resourcefulness, did not endear me to her. She is just too far gone for me on the scale of good to shitty person. The entire game up to that point she’s…

It’s amazing to me that they’ve gone through six games and Ivy’s design has only marginally improved. I think the first time I saw her was watching gameplay of IV and I just laughed outright. I pretty much skipped the series.

I don’t know a lot about MMA, but he might have just fucked up a fight card he’s not involved in at the eleventh hour, which is generally frowned upon. There’s money to be lost now and warrants out, so it might be too big a deal to just let slide. Especially since inaction might make it look like White can’t control…

I kind of get what she’s saying here, but I also just don’t have the patience anymore to waste time trying to figure out basic aspects of the game, including stats. Hell, I barely did as a kid, when you got like three games a year not including rentals so playing until you figured it out was just expected. It made…

Phantasy Star gets a pass from me, because I played them back then as a kid so I generally know what’s up, but otherwise I don’t even mess with games that decide to be that cryptic. It’s annoying more than anything.

It never surprises me much when studios do this. I remember watching through the bonus features on the Alien Quadrilogy box set for the first time years and years ago. The Alien 3 portion is almost funny. I remember it mainly for admitting things were troubled but never really talking about it, having everyone dance…
