Actually, no. I've only watched a couple episodes of the Simpsons.

Yeah, I feel a lot better knowing that if I'm being jerked around, I'm at least being jerked around by someone my brother trusts.

I think we've reached the point where we can look back and safely say that 4e was an interesting take on D&D, but not what a lot of people looked for in the franchise. It had its good points. I especially liked the cohesive cosmology they made for the setting, and am eternally grateful that it introduced to the world v…

Well, good news! My brother was in on this, and gave me the hints I needed to decode the message. I had to translate each number into its four-digit binary equivalent, and represent each 1 as a black square and each 0 as a white one. When arranged vertically, side-by-side, they spell out a message in block letters.

I didn't make much effort to find out who they were because to be honest, I was enjoying the mystery. It's been mostly a fun experience. But I did confront them about where they got my number after they said "You have seen me irl. But you dont know me." and I was a little creeped out. They claimed it was my brother,…

Wahg? You AVClub people are having Switchy shenanigans together?! I wanna join!

"Are you ready? Hi, Ready, I'm Dad."
And I am sold.

I had to look those up because I know very little about superheroes who aren't Squirrel Girl, and find to my delight that she's going to be part of them in the future. What a time to be alive.

I never expected my life to turn out this way, but I'm not entirely unhappy about it. There are certainly worse things a stranger with my number could be sending me than photos of her cats.

I was really surprised by how good the Layton/Ace Attorney crossover from a few years back was. That and the first game (which I borrowed from a friend specifically to familiarize myself with the other half of the game first) are the only Layton games I've played, but I've been meaning to try another at some point.

Super Mario RPG was that for much of my childhood, until it came out on VC. Oh, what a day that was.

I guess I'm also playing Decode the Message My Stalker Sent Me. There's this weird, anonymous stranger who started texting me photos of cats every day at exactly midnight, and when I tried to text them back they responded with a nonsensical string of something like "kitten kitten kitten kitten paws kitten paws kitten…

OH MAN. Spirit Island was one of the games being playtested on the Greater Than Games playtester forum that I kept wanting to try but was too busy with Sentinels of the Multiverse's final expansion to do more than read the rules. Glad to hear it came out well.

I haven't reached the final boss yet! Now I'm excited.

Wait, really? No Kraken? I could've sworn it was mentioned in some context in one of the Splatoon 2 videos.

It probably helps that I'm not used to it yet (I only started online play after playing the Spla2n demo), but I think I prefer having the map on the main screen. I didn't like having to look so far away from the TV to check the map status or warp to another guy, and using tilt controls to select a target is almost as…

Now that I know that high school friend plus another friend of mine will be getting it, I think I'll be more into it. The biggest issue I had was no local multiplayer, so I had no real way to play with people I knew unless they also had a WiiU and were friends with me.

Just looked him up. That is… wow. Wow. OK. Wow. Um. Gosh. I tend to prefer women, but… Wow.

Puyo Puyo Tetris was the first game on the Switch I got. A friend in college had it on her Playstation Whatever Number We're On Now and me and my brother destroyed everyone at it. Once we even won a game sharing a single controller and playing as the twins (My brother's name is Jay, so it worked really well), then…

I tried Super Mario RPG as soon as it was available on the Virtual Console, because for a while it had been one of Those Games where you just read about it and look up videos of other people playing it but can't get it yourself because you don't have the system it runs on. I was so excited when it finally got…
