Nothing special. Just another 80-step dropback

We all know that blowing into an NES cartridge is a useless and potentially harmful activity. But why did we still do it, even though it never actually worked? Science has the answer.

Try one with less grip?

Aphex Twin is not a "they", it's a he. And you both are wrong.

I'd love to see a return to the Waverace series. Many a good time was spent catching waves and crashing into boats on the gamecube.

It's almost like he was being interviewed by a 14 year old boy.

I've never seen anyone talk out of both sides of their mouth with such grace.

Yeah and the worst part is I actually would have liked more insight into Hyrule Warriors. He could have at least poked a bit and tried to find out if Ganon is playable.....

Drop the female Link BS, seriously. I hate that you think you are the mouthpiece of all Zelda fans. If he starts thinking most Zelda fans think this way, I hope it doesn't end up compromising the game just because you wanted to push your own personal fanfiction on the series.

Always trying to highlight, if not criticize, any game that isn't pushing forth some kind of progressive sociopolitical undertone (be it feminism or whatever) while ignoring any context where that might just be arbitrary and not…

These feel like a direct ripoff from Dave Rapoza's illustrations.

I'm going to take a wild stab and say you were 14.

Another great on-air prank call just last year. I was watching this live and nearly died.

Nintendo was actually fairly supportive of women this E3. A big focus on Midna and Zelda and Impa for Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2 (with one included), Splatoon. And that's not even counting the possiblity that Zelda U has a female Link. All that's missing is Metroid and hey, we might get that announced in a bit as…

Right now, the way people are picking apart features makes me feel weird and slightly uncomfortable. It shows that people have a hard time dealing with male characters with feminine traits, and it's really telling of how strictly we classify things in accordance to gender norms. That's a shame. Who says ponytails and…
