The story of Sega in the 1990s is infighting and confused strategies. We certainly knew that. Look at all the SKUs they had on the market in parallel. Game Gear, Nomad, Genesis II, 32X, Sega CD, Saturn, Pico (if you count it). The 32X launched in Japan around the same time as the Saturn and in the US about six months…
As a Sega fan-boy back in the ‘80s and ‘90s, I still hold a grudge against Nintendo (even after all these years). I think Nintendo might be the only company I wouldn’t be okay with buying them (outside of EA, of course).
so my first read of the title said that a ‘Japanese escorts tournament is giving away free crabs’ which makes more sense than the real title.
I too thought about the impact this will have on a multitude of innocent bystanders, and it really does suck horribly.
Why would I want to talk about games with someone who doesn’t play them? That’s like making small talk with my racist uncle during the holidays.
And here I thought Zarya was saying “I’m going for the toblestein!”
Hoggle agrees...
I used to tie a Tamagotchi to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to buy a Tamagotchi cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of Bill Clinton on ‘em. “Gimme five Slick Willie’s for a quarter”, you’d say.
Is it me or 2016 was incredibly dry anime-wise? I didn’t watch Berserk yet, but I can’t think of a series that stood out among all the yaoi & harem crap. And what was with all the sports shows?
Should have gotten Samuel L. Jackson in on this action instead. Would have looked way better.
It’s strange that you assume anyone who plays video games lives in their parents’ basement. It’s not the 1980s any more – I live with my wife, who also plays Pokemon, and this by no means an uncommon situation. Is it really so hard to understand that people might enjoy a thing you don’t, and that it’s perfectly fine…
... and having Hitler cameos or parodies on a few popular shows isn't any different?
Still, nothing new. I do find it quite disturbing that most "fans" always resort to death threats whenever they are unsatisfied with something regarding the series. Ranging from endings to character deaths.
