I would recommend first getting Samus Returns, and I say that because it’s on a platform that is already staring at its end-of-life, while Sonic Mania on the Switch and other platforms will be available for longer.

You got one as well this week? Fantastic! John sent me two pins - one for me, and one to give to a nearby Gameologician, Snazzlenuts. I didn’t tell Snazzlenuts about it until we met for sushi one night; it was so cool to see the change in his expression from when he gazed at mine forlornly to the astonishment and joy…

As DL’s Double Down Summer begins to wind down, I have a mission to complete one more game: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D. Just like Snake, I’m a somewhat reluctant soldier, but I know my duty.
I’m in the Finger Lakes region of New York this weekend for a race at Watkins Glen - the season is winding down, and I’m…

That’s fantastic! You very much deserve one, and John Teti is such an honorable person, it’s almost scary.

Turns out I can’t buy Pinball Arcade on the eShop. It’s retail only! :-/

I lay down my king.

I love AJA pieces; they’re poetic, thought provoking, and inspiring.

I know this is wrong, but I’m going to start the “Store High In Transit” explanation that you are, in fact, dabbing your nose on your sleeve because you just sneezed. That’s why it’s called dabbing.

It’s now timely in the sense that his idea of the time coming for Miiverse to die was finally meeting the time for Miiverse to die. I don’t want to post anything about this again, because I don’t think my opinion has changed; I disagree with the notion that it should die, and find it even more horrible that it’s going…

If I were going to choose a non-Baby Park circuit that I enjoy (and hasn’t been mentioned), I’d pick Cheep Cheep Beach from DS and MK8/DX.

I remember Matt Gerardi mentioning that he has been sifting through the comments sections for “old timers” that are greyed out and following them so you are no longer that way. Based on the way you are not shown as “Pending Approval”, either the upvotes moved this one into the “normal space” or they’ve already found…

Since it’s “AVQ&A”, it may actually be independent of Gameological. It did ask people all over the AV Club staff.

Oh, heavens yes, Baby Park! It’s the ultimate distillation of Mario Kart’s core values: Chaos, item usage, and driving skill balanced with a fair bit of good fortune.

Just so you know, as of Saturday after this article, things already are! I’m seeing the nesting of comments looks better, the “upvote” button moved to the end of the comment, right next to the reply, and comments are in a nice, sans serif, small font! It feels better already!

I’m envisioning a glorious sea of overstuffed leather chairs and monocles! If I hit the (next big) lottery, I’ll totally blow $500K building a modest Gameological Clubhouse at the Crossroads of America and fly everyone in for an opening weekend of brandy snifters and crushed velvet smoking jackets.There will be a…

Don’t worry, we still accept you as you are! We’ll also get you upvoted as we see you in the meantime - the “Kinjamprove” button works well to show the greys...

A friend of mine re-built a Bride of Pinbot machine! I tried holding it upside down this morning, and it’s slightly weird trying to rest the heel of my thumb on the lower screen, but I can imagine it’s worth a try, especially because it would be easier to see the score, since you tend to look up at the score when the…

Merve? [persuses list] Check..I’m going to go with the even easier, flat-out-cheating answer and go with Mario Bros. No other series has upended previous conventions with such confidence. Even going from the single-screen “normal” to the scrolling Super, to the US’s second iteration of Super, it totally bucked the…

Darn! My comment comparing Ken Levine’s Bioshock to Theodore Gericault’s Le Radeau de la Meduse was the most scintillating attempt at commenting I’ve had in months, and it’s stuck in Disqus purgatory.I didn’t get a chance to read that Half Life article, nor the associated story treatment. Good excuse to go back...…

I’ll admit that Disqus would not update every new comment for me, or in the right place. I found myself refreshing on occasion during the day, so that’s not a huge change, but an auto-update would help a ton, so would a sort by new, or at least be able to get to the bottom of the comments quickly, so we can at least…
