Update time: I guess they shipped it from the post office, because it got here this morning. Just such a weird ordeal…

I imagine that the inevitable Arena mode will be brutal; while I haven't died to any of the bosses in Story Mode, they've definitely gotten their hits in. The last boss I faced almost took me down (partially because I was playing a melee ability and going reckless). In regards to it being harder, I more was making…

I'm playing a game called "WHAT THE FREDERICK HAPPENED TO MY COPY OF TOKYO MIRAGE SESSIONS?" I was so eager to dive in, ready to give up on my vow to beat Xenoblade first…and then it didn't deliver on Tuesday. Two days passed, with the tracking data giving a cryptic "Delivery status not updated", and GameStop not…

As someone who actually hasn't played either Overwatch or TF2, I will say that I'm a lot more interested in Overwatch than I ever was in TF2. I'm not sure what it is (more diverse cast that are actually named characters? More detailed art? A stronger emphasis on mobility for gameplay?), but I never felt a compulsion…

While this entire essay is invalid due to the horrible line of "Marie is best squid", it is a good analysis of where Splatfests would have gone. The biggest ones that got people hyped where the ones that no one saw coming (Spongebob vs. Patrick…). I've wanted this theme for a bit, and it's a fitting one to close out…

All of their free content were also things that were Kickstarted; they went the smart route, unlike MN9, and decided to add on all the bonus goodies later. The biggest surprise is that Shovel Knight's updates have been free for everyone, and not just Kickstarter backers. I doubt people would have complained if…

To be fair, once you get a PS4 port, making a Vita port is hardly any work.

Yep. Just about everything that made X6…well, X6 seems to be here. Iffy voice-acting, story that halts the game, environments that are hard to discern what's harmless, platforms, or enemies, all the things that represented the hard fall that the X series took.

One thing to consider: this thing was Kickstarted so long ago that they clearly were still uncertain on PS4 and Xbox One. The Wii U/PS3/Xbox 360 versions were an earlier stretch goal than the PS4 and Xbox One (although you better darn well believe that if they hadn't hit that stretch goal, they probably would have…

It truly is funny that Inafune decided to make those stretch goals such a big deal. We gave him money to make Mega Man, and he decided to make stuff that wasn't Mega Man. Rather than what they tried to do, they should have just released the base game first, and then added on the extra content (like what Shovel Knight…

Fun fact: by clicking and dragging a gif, you can actually pause the frame that you clicked on it for…so you can play a game of trying to catch certain characters! Or just seeing which one you get!

It's funny, the old Sonic songs like Green Hill Zone have really worn off on me. I just don't like Green Hill Zone anymore, at least the base version. The Sonic songs that I do still love, though, are all the horrible, cheesy ones from later games. The ones with usually awful lyrics. I don't even ironically like them,…

It's chili dogs. There's actually some weird backstory there, where he constantly referenced them in one of the original cartoons (because there were also two original cartoons…we're really going down the rabbit, er, hedgehog hole). But yeah, he constantly referenced them in the cartoons, but never in the games…until…

Gonna agree with this. Even though his games aren't my favorites of Nintendo's line-up and there's something about a lot of his games (mostly spinoffs) that feels slapped out and standard, this is also a fat Italian plumber that can go jumping through space in his overalls, and yet, rather than being the dumbest thing…

Interesting. How do you access these dungeons and what's their difficulty, out of curiousity? Like, are you going to have to be about the level of end-game to go through them, or could you go through during the mid-game if you felt the need to level grind?

For my bachelor party, we did a session DMed by my brother. For some of us (myself included) it was the first in ages, and for another it was his first ever. The easy tactic that he used was to just have a reason at the start. Our group just had a backstory (air pirates), and that was it. This might have varying…

I might go for the Bundle, just for Racing Transformed. I only played it a bit at a friend's, but it was fun, like the first Sonic Racing, and…it has Vyse. And a Pirate Island stage. I mean…that's just…it makes me so happy.

I cracked on at least getting TMS, since I was already considering getting a physical copy just because it might not have many copies printed, became even more concerned when reviews were positive so I imagine more people buying, and then was broken when I saw that GameStop still had the Special Edition up for sale.

After beating Bravely Second last week, I cracked while at Target and bought Kirby: Planet Robobot. Thus far, it's good. It's Kirby. It feels like a platformer that you play the way you want. Skip powers, get powers, keep a particular power, it's all up to you. It's also pretty easy, especially having played Triple…

Yeah, the whole "avoid disagreements turning into hurt feelings" thing can be really tricky. The second session of the campaign went that way, with a debate over whether to execute a captive enemy or keep them alive going sour. It didn't help that one of the players was playing a bloodthirsty mercenary who was…
