I do have a New 3DS, and the new one is New 3DS only, but I definitely appreciate the warning! I think they were hedging on the first one, but the New 2DS probably makes it easier to justify not having a compromised version.

I love reading about those experiences of people that play games beyond the core rules and objectives. Thanks for the article!

I’m glad you were able to describe the movement, because I felt like the review focused so much on the environments and how they create activities that they overshadowed that athletic aspect of Mario’s maneuverability.

I am going to be pedantic, despite my better inclinations, but it’s still a fascinating differentiation:

It is a lovely place, and it seems that you have already joined! Welcome aboard! Cucumber sandwiches are served on Mondays, and we can issue a crushed velvet smoking jacket and monocle soon.

We are all kinds of games! Folks regularly post on their tabletop experience, some do little but describe their D&D group. There are also feature articles and mentions referring to tabletop gaming on a regular basis, using the term Gameological Unplugged.

You just justified my getting Hyrule Warriors Legends for 3DS! Thanks!

Not to take away from the Steam Group or AVoCADo because they allow good long-form commenting, but if you want easy access, there’s the Unofficial Gameological Discord Group as well.

Think of it this way - It’s been 100 years since Zelda sacrificed her freedom to keep Ganon at bay. The reason you’re awake now is only because you are finally healthy enough to get ready, not because the world is in more imminent danger.

Remember the three criteria for real estate: Location, Location, Location. Everything else is negotiable. Enjoy!

I don’t really want “loot box” issues with card packs, though it might work in instances where it might provide a rare item trivially (not impossible to achieve for free, simply difficult - someone that doesn’t want to collect 20,000 coins in your MK9 hypothetical).

I thought the amiibo cards were going to be the next big thing: a low-cost option that would justify both making the amiibo worth something within the game and having each amiibo only support storing information for one game - you could own a Link amiibo card for Smash, Breath of the Wild, and Hyrule Warriors, and all…

I was thinking about what’s happened since the 1980's - our monthly expenditures were food, electricity, fuel, phone, and a daily newspaper with a few magazines. Now, we lost the newspaper and magazines, but we have added two internet subscriptions (home and mobile), and TV, which can include several premium…

Sure, it’s still available! I doubt anyone is listening to our conversation, so: A7A8 FY44 HGTU 77HF (spaces added for clarity)

I think The Fractured, But Whole looks like it’s more my speed over the original, and now that I hear you get the first one included when you buy the second, it’s definitely on my radar, even though I don’t have ANY time for it. I also think I’d identify more with Hyrule Warriors than I would Fire Emblem Warriors...I’m…

We’ll said about the true economy of video games in our lives compared to other luxuries we afford ourselves. My annual outlay, if you amortize the cost of hardware until I buy the next, is between $500-$750 per year, or about $50 per month average. I am very blessed to be in a financial shape to afford that, and I…

I have a code for Marshadow to give you if you want it! I don’t know how to send private messages here, but if you know the Gameological Discord Group at:

Given that this is the highest number of games I can remember completing EVER in a single year, I’m going to say “insufficient data”. I get about 15 hours into a game (which often equates to about 25-75%, depending on the size of the game) and bounce out of it for the next game to come along. There is a small chance…

Bad guys can teleport into your house? Yeah, that’s a good reason to stay away from Minecraft:
