And I’d contend that he can be both a horrifying force of nature and have human depth. His ability to walk around crushing throats and conduct savvy dinner time ambushes remain undiminished by the fact that he still harbored plans break the oppression over him by a more manipulative figure and that he could challenge

One thing I loved about Direct is that every area got its own. As European you often feel left out as news mostly concern Japan or America. But Nintendo made one for each. And even subtitled the videos for major European languages. That's not a given thing.

It’s Return of the Jedi, as in return of THE Jedi - the return of Anakin Skywalker. It’s not the return of the Jedi as a group or religion or such. It’s the return of the one Jedi to the light side of the Force. Return of the Jedi. Think about it.

“More than that, it seems like Nintendo doesn’t actually have much to show off for its winter releases in 2015. There’s Mario Tennis and Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, and...not much else!”

A lot of people have a lot of opinions on how Nintendo does business, but I think the whole concept of the Nintendo Direct (and its execution, for that matter) is brilliant.

“Lana! Jesus the helium!”

I’m scared.

One could argue anything if they predicate it on insulting someone

Playing this game with Jimmy Jr. would be the best thrill in the world.

When Patrick continued to press Microsoft for information, the representative would only respond:

There’s a trading economy, mining, gear and ship upgrades, space battles, combat on foot, etc. It’s a real game. I don’t know why people think you only fly around and look at stuff. There have been a lot of videos showing how the economy works, and how you can make enemies or friends of different AI factions, or piss

I don’t think so. It’s a virtual galaxy that you can explore. Isn’t this what interactive virtual entertainment should be about? They’ve essentially removed the limitations that narrative gaming (which I don’t have a problem with) has set on the video game format.

What's the point of playing games if they're not real? Why bother doing anything?

I’m pretty sure I’ll be spending a whole lot of hours playing this game.

That little car is awfully zippy for having an engine like a washing machine.
