This is what I'll always love about Nintendo. It's not just a bunch of suits who see gaming in a purely cynical light. Yeah, they're a huge business, but even the top leadership seems invested in putting out quality games and being innovators in the field.

It can be jarring for those of us who engage with games primarily on an emotional and intellectual and aesthetic level to realize that the companies putting them out often neither care about nor particularly understand them. I doubt the folks making the business decisions even fully understood what Kojima actually did…

Hahaha that is amazing

The narrative frame for Superhot is really divisive. I actually like it, if nothing else I think it's an interesting example of a recent trend of fourth-wall-breaking games where your role as a person sitting at a computer playing a game is an acknowledged reality within the game. Undertale is obviously the other big…

Skyward Sword is without a doubt the most uneven Zelda game and features some extremely baffling design choices, but the good parts are really great and it's definitely worth playing. I think it gets kind of a bad rap.

Right now I'm pretty deep off in Salt and Sanctuary. I'm not in love with it, but I'm definitely enjoying it for the Dark Souls tribute that it is (although some of the creature designs are just unacceptably similar to their inspiration). I wish it had more stuff like the wall jump and gravity reversal skills that you…

Hahaha that Liam Neesons sketch is straight up one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Without a doubt, one of the most inappropriately violent movies ever made—and I mean that as a compliment.

What about reclaiming it for ironic usage, a la "Thanks, Obama"?

Since Bill Goldberg almost singlehandedly revitalized the WCW, is where I assume you were going with that.

For a second I thought you meant that she literally came by his house on election day and picked him up in a car to take him to go vote. I guess that would have been pretty cool too.

Coo-coo-kacha!

You would think that as fans of a marginal and widely disdained style of music, metal fans would be at least empathetic toward genres they don't like. But there seems to be a strong correlation between listening mostly to metal and being a close-minded dick about everybody else's music.

Never heard of this before but I'm loving the first track.

This is probably pretty lame, but "Ms. Jackson" was the first song to make me like rap. I was like fourteen and watching MTV late at night because I couldn't sleep, and I guess the song had just come out and they showed a whole thing about the making of the video and then played the video. I didn't know anything about…

1. Elevators
2. B.O.B.
3. ATLiens
4. Aquemini
5. Players Ball

This might be an idiotic question, but what do the numbers in this thread refer to?

I am praying for an extremely tawdry gay sex scandal to come out with this dude. I mean, you look his face and you can just tell he harbors some dark desires and that the resultant self-hatred is the impetus for his whole political career. I assume.

Not that this is saying much, but I maintain that Mortal Kombat is the best movie ever to be based off a video game.

I think it's surprisingly good—the humor is on par with the best of the show, and it does a great job of integrating the video game format into South Park universe in a way that makes total sense and yields a lot of great jokes. Feels like South Park, not just a South Park-branded game.
