Not only is Dk Land blurry, there's times I can't tell if what I'm about to jump on is going to be land. It's amazing they got that much animation on a Game Boy, but simple sprites instead of the fake 3D sprites, would have worked better.

Here's what you do. Open an online guide for Ocarina and glance at it quickly before turning away (like checking out cleavage). Maybe you catch a glimpse of which weapon you use on which body part, and that's enough to jar you back into things where you can take it the rest of the way. If that's not enough, glance…

People are complaining that the N64 is not represented on the Wii U Virtual Console, but if you look at what would be available, there's not much to represent the system. Obviously, you lose the Rare games (Banjo, Conker, Jet Force, Perfect Dark), you lose licensed games (Goldeneye, Star Wars, WCW/WWF, sports games),…

After Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and a Link Between Worlds, it's a little shocking to play Majora where the hand-holding is very limited. I used a guide 15 years ago, and the memory of that helps me. Otherwise, how would you know to be at the Inn bathroom at a certain hour with some paper to get a heart piece?…

Well, I can't watch Jedi anymore without thinking of that. Hasn't George Lucas ruined Star Wars enough?

I disagree on the episode of The Office in that it was starting to stray too much into the cartoony show it would later become. I'll always favor The Dundees as it's such a great representation of cubicle wage slaves being forced to attend an awards night that celebrates an office culture they are forced to tolerate.…

I've heard "Heart Shaped Box" was about Courtney Love (more likely as it was her husband writing it), but it was about her relationship with Billy Corgan because of the lyric "She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak' with Pisces being a nod to the Pumpkins album Pisces Iscariot. The latter part of this observation is…

But you're not thinking like a lazy music critic. "He's ordinary" could mean that Kurt was a regular guy and not some Generation X icon.

I've heard people claim Stacked Actors by Foo Fighters is about Love as well. I've also heard them claim STP's Too Cool Queenie and several Smashing Pumpkins songs are about her because music critics must think of Courtney Love as the Helen of Troy of rock 'n roll, when she's really just a drug addict who got high…

Both Hero and February Star from this album became the first Foo Fighter songs that lazy critics decided must be about Kurt Cobain. The critics have continued making this claim about at least one song from each subsequent Foos album because surely Dave Grohl had nothing else happen in his life except for Cobain…

Are they churning out the same rubbish as COD or Assassin's Creed? For example, Assassin's Creed released in 2007 for the first time. There are not 8 of them not including DLC. In that same time period there were three "New Super Mario Bros" games (Wii, 2, U), two Mario Galaxies, Mario 3D Land, and Mario 3D World for…

No girl (or guy) is worth pretending to like Mumford & Sons.

He won me over when explaining away a missing limeade cookie by saying, "Leave some room for the Holy Ghost as they say."

Using the AV Club's grading, I'd say the Foos are solid B students: usually good, never flat out bad, rarely great. I'd put The Colour and the Shape in there with albums like Dirt, Siamese Dream, Purple, Nevermind, Ten and the other albums from the era that dominated 90s radio.

Axl also needed to read his lyrics off a teleprompter during that Paladia show

So back to my original point then, what's left for them to do? The sports licenses are obviously monopolized at this point. If they made a first person shooter (not a Metroid FP-Adventure), people would roll their eyes.

Yeah, but I think we need to separate new IPs from new game types. Toad's Treasure Tracker is a new game type (yes, based on a level in another game). Does it need to be Toad in the game, no. They could have come up with some generic new character like whatever the fuck that thing is in Pushmo. Hell, it could have…

It goes against the Nintendo always uses the same IPs narrative, so no, we can't talk about that game.

Maybe if the new Zelda contained Kevin Spacey and came out every November, people wouldn't bitch.

Here's the thing, can we agree Nintendo perfected certain genres such as platformers (Super Mario 3 or Super Mario World), action/adventure/RPG (Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time), 3D platformers (Mario 64 or Galaxy), Metroidvania-type games (Super Metroid), and Kart racers (pick a favorite Mario Kart game). Nobody…
