Eh, they’re not that bad. Sometimes Arin can get really annoying with his hatred of a game and reliance on poop humor, but Barry is often quite insightful on games and life in general, Brian can go from adorable to professional troll in an instant, and it’s impossible not to love Dan. Ross tends to vary from game to…

The Grumps did help with more than voice acting, though it was usually ancillary stuff rather than the meat of the game.

BTW, for those thinking that the Republicans hold the patent on stupid, CalExit II is gaining support.

I will say that it’s very, very, VERY likely this started as a joke. I dunno if you watch Game Grumps, but the male members act extremely gay around each other constantly. Arin legitimately thought he was gay when he was a kid (due to his parents screwing up “The Talk”) and has a list of Guys Arin Wants to Have Sex…

I haven’t played it and have only been experiencing the game via Team Four Star’s LP of it, but I love the interactions between PC!Dad and Amanda. They’re freaking adorable together.

I don’t know if it’s been resolved since I read the article a week or so ago, but apparently companies aren’t allowed to sell pre-orders yet because the FCC hasn’t given Nintendo the go-ahead yet.

I never could stand to finish a bowl of Instant Ramen. I’m tempted to try traditional “good” ramen, but what always holds me back is the noodles. I really, really don’t like long noodles. The few times I eat spaghetti with the noodles I usually spend a few minutes cutting them up so I don’t have to spend a minute…

Did you hold the PS4 to the standards of the PS3 when the former launched with Killzone and 30 slightly-enhanced PS3 ports? What about the XBox One when it launched with Ryse and a bunch of slightly-enhanced 360 ports?

Maybe it’s because I don’t like the original Pikmin games, but I quite enjoyed the demo that came out.

Mii Maker is in settings. Mii Plaza has no point outside the 3DS since the Switch doesn’t have a StreetPass feature. Miiverse was a cesspool that Nintendo stopped bothering with a year ago and will be shutting down on the Wii U soon anyway.

...The Switch already has a better lineup in its first year than the Wii U had and the year is far from over.

There’s Disgaea 5, but that obviously only interests those who like Strategy RPGs.

Branding, for one. But also so you can get the music and voice chat in the headphones, since the Switch doesn’t do voice chat and if you use the headset with the phone, the game music will obviously be muffled.

Well, technically, West Virginia IS northeast of Texas. As is Alaska if you go the long way.

Oh, I’m not defending the system itself. It’s a pretty stupid decision.

Voice chat is done via smartphone, so you can just use your smartphone mic as it defaults to loudspeaker mode. You just need a charger for the phone since it has to stay on and the app has to stay on top for you to chat. As long as your phone can accept headset mics, you could just plug the headset into there.

Assuming they aired this on Japanese broadcast TV (specifically during Pokenchi) and not on KIDS Station, they likely couldn’t air the original version due to the episode no longer meeting broadcast requirements.

I thought you were talking compared to the original. The 2012 seems flashier likely due to whatever terrible color balance they used on that version. Might also be over compensating since the 2012 version uses the post-Shock version of the episode with its dimmed electricity andchoppy frame rates while the new…

So? The Big 3 companies all approve more or less everything Hori does. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s still optional.

Looking at the video, it seems like they used the original, pre-Pokemon Shock master instead of the edited post-Pokémon Shock version (the latter was the basis for the dubbed version). I’m surprised they kept in all the strobing since Japanese television more or less banned the effect (hence why DBZ Kai needed that…
