After all the joyous uproar on the internet about him (specifically, Gameological's Sony E3 live chat), I am glad to hear that Prompto is, in fact, a good, good boy.

Absolutely. As much as I enjoy Liza Weil's understated intensity on How To Get Away With Murder, these few scenes of Paris were uproariously fun and easily my favorite performances of both her career and of the entire Gilmore Girls cast ever. I would happily watch a boring and toothless hour-long drama if I knew that,…
I was just talking with one of my buddies and quest-mates about potentially switching to 5th edition soon. Our group started a 4th edition campaign a few months before 5 hit shelves, and in the past two years we've all learned so much about the way we interact and role play, and 5th edition seems so much more flexible…
Considering Jughead is one of the Sprouse twins (from "Suite Life of Dylan and Cody"), sign me right the heck up for seeing a former Disney star and yogurt spokesmodel strung out with track marks.
It's not. The Archie comics reboot, while more modern in its pacing, subject matter, and art, is still decidedly light and goofy brightly-colored teen fun. This is somewhere between that and the "Afterlife With Archie" comics where Jughead and Sabrina (the teenage witch) accidentally start a zombie outbreak that kills…
Listening to your Mario Kart chat, I've been saying for years that I wish they would respin the series as Smash Kart, allowing them to bring in other Nintendo (and possibly third-party) IPs. The Mario Kart 8 DLC was so exciting to me, bringing in elements from Animal Crossing, Legend of Zelda, Excitebike, and F-Zero.…
I'm a big big fan of the series. It was a regular activity amongst my friend group in high school to bring a SNES, two controllers, and a Tetris Attack cart to whomever's house we were hanging at that day, cycling through VS. games against one another while the rest of the group hung back on the couch, talking about…
It was originally a new franchise in Japan, Panel de Pon (the main character, Lip, lives on in the "Lip's Stick" item in Smash Bros and in the unlockable outfit from the Puzzle League minigame in the Animal Crossing New Leaf Welcome amiibo! update). For the Western release, Nintendo of America reskinned the SNES game…
My sisters have already been warned (and responded enthusiastically) that this weekend will contain several rounds of The Jackbox Party Pack 1, 2, and 3. I brought my PS4 home last Thanksgiving and we all had a blast with Fibbage and Quiplash, so they're excited to try out the new stuff as well. Because life has been…
I had Medli move in to my village last week, and one of my old villagers told me this morning she was going to move out over the weekend, so that should make room for Inkwell! I didn't think I would love Medli as much as I do, but she's amazing. At the RV, she had a lovely retro Zelda 1 wallpaper and carpet, and in…
<3 Tetris Attack forever. That is all.
That's exactly how I felt playing The World Ends With You for the first time. I got to day 5 and told Agnello "um… I think I'm almost done with the game, and nothing's really happened yet?" and he just laughed and said "oh no, you haven't even started the game yet." Man, I loved that game.
My impulse-buy budget has dropped dramatically ever since AJA moved out of NYC. One time, he sent my girlfriend (now fiancée) to one of the skeeviest import shops in town to surprise me with a copy of Puyo Puyo/Tetris. It's been a year and a half and I'm not sure she has forgiven him yet.
Have you played the Elebits sequel on the DS? It's excellent! Instead of looking around your house/school/neighborhood for tiny electric creatures and battling the occasional large electric creature, it's a top-down island adventure with more than a few notes cribbed from portable Zelda and Pokémon games. You still…
I did not play Rabbids Go Home, but I remember reading some positive reviews about it. I picked up the first two Raving Rabbids titles mostly on peer pressure (whenever I showed people WarioWare Smooth Moves, there were always one or two who said "yeah, that's okay, but HAVE YOU TRIED RAVING RABBIDS?!") and admittedly…
Happy 10th birthday to the Nintendo Wii, which went on sale in the U.S. ten years ago tomorrow! Having thought it over for a bit, here are my ten favorite Wii games, all of which were console exclusives and none of which feature "Mario" or "Zelda" in the title:
I was actively unenthused about this entry in the series for months, as I have a history of picking up a Pokémon game for lunch-time battles with a similarly half-passioned co-worker and then both of us dropping it after about two weeks, but Gerardi convinced me to check out the Sun/Moon demo when it came out and I…
I once* got escorted out of a cemetery because I was pushing too many of the headstones, looking for secret stairs.
You can clear garbage by making a match where any block in the match touches the garbage block. Usually the easiest way to do this is to choose any block from the top layer that is touching the garbage and line up blocks beneath it to match. As the garbage block transforms into regular blocks, though, look for…
