@puffa469: Same thing happened to my Nintendo too, though the only time I have played it recently was with my mother when she was in town.

I understand that him being a klutz makes him loveable, but having characters be interesting because of a flaw is nothing new. The Greeks did this centuries ago.

Thank you! I could not see how this is "stylish". It looks like something I'd find online.

Now can someone just kill Deadpool too?

@zark169: I was wondering this too. Giant sets? I can't really think of anything else, other than giant monsters that he wants made by hand.

Saint Sebastian was a martyr that was killed by firing squad/hail of arrows. In art he is represented by arrows and or a bow. I thought the juxtaposition was funny.

@bakagaijin: I am the same way, especially about that last bit. I received Demon's Souls as a gift, and I played it for a while but could just not make myself play to the end because of the frustrating difficulty. People all said the difficulty was worth it and if you died a ton, then it was not because the game was…

I'm actually the opposite. Now that games have become pretty expensive, I make sure that I finish one game before I consider buying another one. If I bought another while already playing one, it would seem wasteful in my eyes - as if I had not fully gotten my money's worth from the previous game. There are lots of…

I think that short of a battery is ridiculous, but I do like the implications of being able to change the battery on your own. I feel that gaming companies are sometimes walking the road that Apple has chosen for their products: one which forces the user to deal with very restrictive policies regarding the machine…

anyone else find it amusing that they named the archer Sebastian?

I agree with you. I think a lot of 8-bit games that have true staying power in the industry and are loved by players are because of their graphics. I really think that those old games were more engaging than some modern games because you had to use your imagination while playing the game to truly appreciate the world…

I love ActRaiser forever (first SNES game I bought), but I do not think it is timeless. I don't believe that that game created some kind of template for future games, or includes mechanics and controls that transcend time/other games of the same era. I would say Mario and Tetris are potentially timeless games because…

Man...we could have had Kraid

What is the music for Vertigo doing in this?

Uhhh, but isn't the point of these false Criterion covers in the first place?

Me watching this all hinges on how the dude that plays Lion-O says the whole "Hoooooooooooooo!" part.

I think people are just confusing this and Apple products in their minds. Apple has almost yearly product upgrades (which are indeed quite frustrating for consumers), while Nintendo has incremental upgrades.

I think this service is creepy as it obviously fetishes women (esp. the notion of women in gaming). How is that positive?

Ding ding ding. Duh, this is obviously the answer. Plus, The skulltopus symbol is the coolest thing ever. Who cares who he is fighting?
