GYROIDS! FUCK YEAH!

he absolutely is telling people to pirate it.

This article is really scummy. I’ve always enjoyed your content Zack, but this article made me lose some respect for you. The game literally just released yesterday for crying out loud. Genuinely shitty article to post. At least wait a few months.

And thank God it will be done and wrap up a great experience. These days it’s all games as a platform and even the great ones end up overstaying their welcome well past the point where you stop having fun.

“It is a Switch exclusive, as you might expect. But all you need is a Switch emulator and a decently powerful PC, and you can play Dread on your computer, right now.”

Older games, I can understand - but encouraging the torrenting/pirating of a game one day after its’ release? For fuck’s sake.

It throws you into the deep end with exploration even in the first hour.  More than even Super Metroid, it leaves you flailing in the wind with only your wits to orient you.  And I mean that in the best way possible.

Metroid music is something I enjoy.  It's not music I'd seek out to listen to outside the game, but it always felt fitting for the alien world isolation motif.

WWE SNL - I’ve never read anything that made more sense than that.

WWE at this point is too big to fail. When FOX is happily paying four years/$1 billion for a 0.7 demo to win Friday nights, not to mention all the global deals and distribution they have, financially they’re as strong as they’ve ever been and can’t be taken down.

They’re going to need another run of guest hosts. I’m being completely serious here—I nominate Marc Summers. He has game show experience, trivia experience and, like LeVar Burton, he’s someone trusted by younger and older viewers alike. Remember, after that original run on the Double Dare shows, he went off to Food…

Imagine being such a shitty person you get fired from a job you hired yourself for.

Except there’s documented time travel in the Pokémon universe, so they already have their out. “They originally died off way back, and we’ve just discovered time travel, so they’re only being reintroduced now.”

> If you regard the Pokémon universe as a living, breathing world, however, the only real answer is that Basculegion, Hisuian Growlithe, and the others had to have died out sometime after Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Life, uh, finds a way

It’s funny, it’s the first game where in my mid-30s, I started to feel like an old-man-gamer where the building mechanic in the midst of a BR was just one plate too many to spin in battle for me and could never get the hang of it. And then I watch my 8-year-old nephew juggling everything easy-peasy and get 1st place…

How does “At The Pokémon Company International, we believe in a just and equitable world and that every person, employee, and fan has the unique skills, powers, and purpose to contribute to this common cause” read as “we don’t endorse the straights”?

Ah yes. The classic Cascading Failure. A thing that goes catastrophically wrong, causally linked to an endless chain of other Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong that all set off Even More Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong. Like a circular row of dominos, except each domino is an open oil drum filled with…

I explained this in a Reddit post that is now deleted because it was buried under a litany of bro culture hate, where Afrasabi, Greg Street and others on the panel obviously and openly made these candid remarks without remorse, without consideration.

“I guess Greg Street now knows who I am now. Cool. OK. And also that wasn’t really an apology, but sure you do you. Whatever gets you to sleep at night,” she said. “I was joking with a friend when I saw it, when I saw everything he was writing about that, just, you know, ‘Oh, I couldn’t see her react, I couldn’t see…
