Convergence didn’t really soft reboot anything, they just confirmed some stuff about the Multiverse, while the mainline universe was left almost entirely untouched. This is following up on creating the changes to the New 52 I was actually hoping Convergence might create.

DC’s always rebooted every 20 years or so to keep things feeling current. The New 52 was always going to happen, they just happened to do a terrible job of the reboot when it came time. As much as I was fine with the Universe as it was right before the New 52, I can see from a storytelling perspective how most of the…

That was the problem, they didn’t sit around and come up with a way to reboot the universe.

It’s likely not a full reboot, it’s probably a mini soft-boot, like Zero Hour. Crisis on Infinite Earths happened and rebooted the universe at the time in 1985, and Zero Hour effectively did some continuity alterations 9 years later. The New 52 just had a greater need for fixing, so we’re getting it a few years early.

As a Smash Brothers player who has been having a really hard time against all the Clouds and their damn fast, low lag, giant, combo starting sword that seems to cancel out every other move, I can’t look at that Cloud cosplay without feeling an intense, burning, seething hatred.

In high school I made a small game based on Don Quixote, actually. Crappy, but I was proud of myself. I just checked, and it turns out it’s still online apparently.

I appreciate Nintendo’s increasing effort to turn Pokemon into reality. I half expect Nintendo to begin investing in genetic engineering before the decade is up.

Is that why no one’s been watching me work on my webcomic on Twitch all this time?

So how does this apply to prescription glasses and sunglasses? Because, using the collar holding approach, it means I pretty much always have to have a second pair of glasses on my person at all times, which feels wrong. I’m also assuming it would be wrong to wear one pair over my eyes and the other pair pushed on top…

It is wireless, so it doesn’t need to be connected to the wiimote. But Splatoon is really meant to be played with the motion controls, so when playing two players locally, the common fix is to tie the wiimote to the Pro Controller (like so) and play as you would on the gamepad.

Oh, you’re right, that is the pro controller, I was thinking it was a sideways wiimote. Although counterpoint, if they were playing they would have a wiimote tied to the pro controller to recreate the motion controls.

Not according to the controllers.

That’s true, I forgot the phazon was already in them. I guess that wasn’t quite so unambiguously evil.

One might argue that infusing Samus with the substance she was trying to eradicate without her permission while she was unconscious (as well as three other people whom were later killed by it) doesn’t need to be presented in any more negative of a light than it already is. And I don’t think the Federation was entirely…

Well, even by Prime 3 they were starting to hint at the Federation’s darker elements rising to the surface. Them trying to harness the power of Phazon themselves, despite Samus’ overall desire to simply rid the universe of the Phazon was a start, and the Aurora Units were clearly early versions of the Federation…

I think both games have their own ways of being the worst of the franchise. Clearly, when it comes to delivering Metroid story and gameplay, Metroid: Other M is the worst, but Metroid Prime Hunters is so far off the beaten path of standard Metroid style gameplay that it barely qualifies as a Metroid game.

Games are inherently competitive; player against the computer, player against player. Having a whole bunch of video game companies showing off their upcoming new things all in one place was always going to turn into a competition. It doesn’t mean we don’t enoy all the games from all the companies, even if we do still…

Adam West told me to get a life.

At first I was reading this and was assuming this was a newer Hummer, like an H3 or something, and I was thinking, ‘kinda rude, but I can see the neighbor having a point.’
