I still remember picking one up at midnight, and then playing Tennis until the morning. Lots of parties at my place where people would come over to play boxing or bowling, Mario Kart, Wii Play, Super Monkey Ball, or Wario Ware against each other. Also lots of nights playing Metroid Prime, Okami, Zelda, and Mario…

The thing that really gets me about all of this is that Kotik is so incredibly incompetent.

You’re right.

There are people who think Verhoeven didn’t know *exactly* what he was doing when he made Starship Troopers???

Does anyone actually still care about it now, though? It seems super tame compared to some of the stuff that’s been in videogames since then.

“You know, with all the millions in revenue he’s getting from Twitch alone wouldn’t it be more efficient to fund mutual aid groups and strikes from his own pocket?”

Also, some knives ARE ALREADY ILLEGAL because they’re too dangerous.

“Man idolizing mentally unhinged criminal turns out to be mentally unhinged criminal.”

Damn, Ari’s example of how this effect works was *too* powerful.

It sounds like they might have given it another try if not for Covid.

“Was it non-profitable or just small?”

“desperate to passively insult Matroid Dread for no reason”

Why does it matter whether this is a review, or an opinion piece, or something else? Those are just labels. Either the writing is good and interesting, or it’s not. In this case, it is. I don’t see how anything else really matters.

“I have big misgivings about the button placement on that thing.”

I think this could have been done well. Receiving an email from this guy is fine, but don’t tell me that I’m not spending enough time in your stupid grindfest of a game. That just makes me not want to play it ever again.
