My table is ready.

Certainly Nintendo’s own coin-grabbing ways were a factor in this decision, but really, it makes sense to include a collectable mechanic in this. I’m a little disappointed they didn’t align this with amiibo, as it seems like an obvious tie-in, but they probably couldn’t do it at this price point. I supposed you could…

I came in skeptical and I’m coming out sold! This sounds fun. I don’t even mind the booster pack thing, as long as you can actually find them. The figures look... Hasbro quality, but that’s a minor quibble really.

It’s really not.

Does it really look “absolutely nothing like” Muramasa?

I could see our current Federal government actively promoting this sort of behavior. I’m hoping they manage to slip in at least a reference to a Presidential rally.

I don’t think it would be exactly that sort of image, given the overt Christian overtones, but you don’t have to look hard to find plenty of games in which Muslims are portrayed primarily as terrorists.

Yeah, this is gonna be popcorn-worthy. The same people who dismissed the idea that portraying a few violent non-white people in an exotic land was stereotyping and exploitation will be the first to scream that this is stereotyping middle America Christians as violent, gun-toting thugs tantamount to a cult. Not a lot…

This is a fantastic guide, though be warned, the type is very small.

The situation described in the article and the comments is a key reason I never got into Hearthstone as a serious game, but I actually really enjoy Tavern Brawls: it’s basically nothing but randomness (most of the time). I can enjoy the mechanics of the game while knowing that there’s nothing I could have done ahead…

But will it still include vast, carefully crafted, lovingly rendered spaces that do nothing, for you to sprint through to the next area? (“Oh cool, I’ve never explored this cavern, look at all this cool stuff! Let’s go down this hall, and... wait, it just ends? There’s nothing here? No mobs, loot, signs to read,…

It sounds like they’re trying to make PvE content more accessible while making PvP content more exclusive to the hardcore. I’m not sure why they think there needs to be a division. If openness and accessibility is your philosophy, why not embrace it across the game?

Perhaps it’s generational or something, but I’m guessing most American men who are not in their 20s do this, can’t speak for anywhere else in the world. I assume you realize the Hanes’ of the world are the vast majority of underwear purchases, most of which are good old fashioned fly-enabled tighty-whities or the…

It will certainly be exciting to see what a team-based FPS game will make of World War II! I’m surprised nobody thought of that already.

Can we all agree that Slapamander is the best new weapon name of 2017?

As someone who has mostly abandoned Overwatch, I think this is a lot of fun. Though really, you don’t want me playing Tracer or Mercy. That’s my only gripe — though I support the idea of the game mode supporting the story they’re telling, I don’t want to screw my team because the only character left is someone I never…

A few thoughts:

I can’t comment on all of these, but Best Buy has never let me down when it says “Pick up in store.” Perhaps I’ve just been lucky. On the other hand, if I called ahead and the item in question wasn’t right on the shelf, there’s no guarantee that would give me a definitive answer, as I have asked before in the store…

Would it be too much to ask for a Prince Sidon amiibo? Maybe throw in Purah because she’s fabulous. Kthx.
