I’m sure you’re right. They won’t be retconned out, but it would be nice if they had a role in this. I know a lot of my fondness is nostalgia based, but it’s what I grew up with! Also the same reason I’ve played Red through about half a dozen times and the reason my Toshihiro Ono Pokemon comics are tattered from all…

Yeah, it really bums me out that this apparently doesn’t have Misty and Brock in it, despite the fact that I also haven’t regularly watched in about 15-16 years. I’m still intrigued by this (it would be awesome if they gave it a US theatrical release), but... bummer.

That’s just regular Venom. I would kill for an Agent Venom or Venom Space Knight.

I’ve really enjoyed these character studies. Lot of great info I never knew. I like the subtlety of the character’s introduction. Those are three very well written strips. That hockey one though... to quote Charlie Brown: “good grief.”

I was speaking in general, but yeah, don’t skip the funerals/wakes of people close to you. I agree with the reply that it’s kind of an asshole move. No one is there to have fun.

Uhhh... I think that’s just when they worked on Super Mario 64 DS. The article seems to imply that crunch time at Nintendo has been referred to this way, but the interview itself just makes it sound like this is when Miyamoto was notorious for wanting to work on that particular game. Weird way to angle the article.

Funerals are for family, wakes are for anyone to show condolences/support. Now, that said, you wanna stop by a relative of mine’s funeral to be supportive, too? That’s awesome, but not remotely required unless you’re a member of the family or close.

Mutant Academy was okay, but it had nothing on Marvel vs. Capcom, in my humble opinion. Also, that first Spider-Man was gold. I just replayed it a few months back, and while the camera is super outdated, it’s still a great game.

This is a really cool article. Personally, I really like dyeing my clothing to make it match one color scheme. Had all red at one point, now I’m dyed blue. Love how the uniform colors look.

My future sister-in-law is obsessed with the essential oil BS and it’s driving my fiance crazy.

Since this seems like a good place to share/vent, I’ll go: I’m a 31-year-old dad that had a beautiful daughter out of wedlock with my now fiancé. My family never met her (or really heard about her) before she got pregnant. Our daughter is now two and a half, and the hardest part of that three year timespan has…

Loving the David Wise music.

This. I can’t stress enough how great the portability factor is as a parent. I’m 20 hours or so into Breath of the Wild. If I had the game on Wii U, I’d have half that, at best.

Hoping this arrives on Switch the same day.

This was driving me nuts Friday. I missed the first day of the Global Testfire because I had never fully reset my console before and somehow didn’t think to do this. Luckily, I got to play Saturday.

I came for the Pulp Fiction references and was not let down.

Great move on Playtonic’s part. No reason to allow the game to get negatively associated with someone like JonTron.

I have been playing video games since before I was five, but shooters have never really appealed to me. I played Goldeneye in middle school, but I never had the patience for it. Tried desperately to get into TimeSplitters and a number of other franchises, and never was able to fall for the genre. But Splatoon is my…

First console I bought completely on my own and probably still the one I loved the most. I was sixteen years old, had my first job, no car and no girlfriend. I was making hand-over-fist money for a kid my age, and, as a result, I owned a ludicrous number of games for that system. Ah, memories. Hard to believe that was…

In fairness, Peach was Toadstool until the mid-90s.
