I don’t think he wanted to prove anything, I think he just wanted to build his weird rocket and found an angle he could use to get it funded. I mean, you could board an airliner and get way higher than the rocket he built was going to go (3000 ft.)

I think most of this competently made conspiracy stuff is grifters. Like the guy who said he wanted to build a rocket to prove the earth was flat... and got a gofundme with tons of money as a result. He made the horrific mistake of actually building the rocket, which killed him when it fell out of the sky, but I…

I was always impressed with how good the original NFS got its cars to look, with fewer polygons than go into modern game’s headlights. My crowning achievement in that game was getting a Porsche 911 to crash in such a way that it balanced perfectly on its rear end. Think I deserve an Olympic medal for that one.

Sucker Punch is a game developer. That’s why ‘Sucker Punch’ is capitalized in the original post.

Personally I think they’re great. If you’re going to make me collect stuff, at least let me know if I missed something. Beats having to search the entire level for every collectable, doesn’t it?

I think people tend to forget that the purpose of commercial games is not to be as good as possible, but to be good enough to make money. In this case the publisher obviously miscalculated...

My condolences to the celebrities that made the list of shame. Criticize the administration harder next time (Please don’t let there be a next time.)

I imagine if you wanted to drive drunk on a closed course on private property, it’d be fine. They can’t pull you over for it, can they? Just set up some cardboard pedestrians, a few fruit stands, branding from some ‘medicinal’ cannabis company, there’s your show!

I guess the pandemic has slowed down school shootings enough they can finally release this?

I’m glad I’m not the only person who just doesn’t like MM7. I think a big part of it is how bullshit the last boss is. Every other megaman game feels tough but fair, but in MM7 it’s just awful, and makes the whole game worse because it’s the last thing you experience before you say you’ll never play it again.

Ok, look, some people like weird things, I like weird things, whatever. Based on some websites I frequent I could see Yoshi beating out Luigi. But Toad? Anyone’s searching for Toad? The Mario character? Are they sure people aren’t just searching for normal, amphibian toad porn?

Joking aside, it’s obviously a pig’s brain. Someone was probably cooking it for consumption when they realized they were about to eat a pig’s brain and came to their senses. These things have so much cholesterol after all.

I seem to recall the first PS3 entry had one wanderer that required you to have a certain amount of money. Only, they forgot to convert the money from the Japanese version (where everything cost 100 times as much because it was based on Yen instead of USD.) The amount was more than the maximum amount of money you…

Fond memories of playing this on the Dreamcast. Between this, Metropolis Street Racer, Test Drive Le Mans, and Sega GT, the Dreamcast had some really good, interesting racing games.

Does the remaster have the secret level from 2 that’s set in heaven or whatever? That raises theological questions that this level can’t even scratch. Is that why all these skaters can tear up Area 51 and various real-world cities without being arrested? Is it how they can bail from 30 feet up and somehow not break…

Ah yes, Nintendo trying to be ‘cool,’ the concept that forced innocent EGM readers to confront the concept of a gorilla with a nipple piercing in an ad for DKC3. I’m really glad they’ve just accepted that they’re not cool, and that’s ok. You’ll never be cool, Nintendo, but you’ve always been fun, and that’s how we…

Meanwhile my partner bought a Megablocks or whatever Mewtwo one time and it took months of communicating with the company to finally get all the pieces they didn’t include in the box, and then the pieces they didn’t include in the pieces they sent us. There’s a good reason LEGO is more expensive.

Unguarded? Like when he opens his mouth, ever, for any reason, at any time?

I don’t know if any video game theme will ever stir the same feeling in me as the Chrono Trigger Main Theme does.

Listen I eat with my left hand and use my mouse with my right hand, it’s all very clean. If I have to touch the keyboard I do it by awkwardly reaching over with my right hand like a moron. What, am I supposed to eat at a table? Like some kind of 16th century peasant who just got in from harvesting turnips?
