Yeah, one night I came back from the bar and decided I was gonna download Sonic 2 on the Wii Virtual Console. It was on discount for like $5 or $6 that week and I decided after a few beers that’s what I was gonna go home and do. Well, I had had enough that seeing just the price was enough to throw me off, and I…

It reminds me a lot of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, but with an added bit of freedom. It takes some getting used to, but I like it. I’m sure I’ll eventually drop the $70 for a Pro Controller, but I’m not finding a lot of need for it just yet.

I have a toddler, and this system is a godsend for parents. I occasionally play it docked, but it’s almost always played portable. Unlike you, however, I love the Joy-Cons. I’ve barely ever used the connector piece.

I’m a Bills fan, so I feel your pain. We even hired your shitty carnival barker of an ex-coach. The whole city was so excited when he came on and I kept screaming “haven’t you seen what he’s done with the Jets?!?” Alas, no one listened, and now Rex is a commentator, where he probably will be much better off.

...starring Liam Hemsworth?

Sunshine is massively underrated. And some of the platforming was crazy.

This is a great move. $10 for physical and a soundtrack is a smart move to make it more worth it, and at little cost to the publisher. What a smart compromise.

It also had the troll doll Peter slipped him in the place of the Infinity Stone at the end of the first film. Great touch.

I loved that, the second Ego admitted that, Peter just guns him down. Another director would have been tempted to squeeze multiple minutes out of that, but Gunn went for the gut reaction, and I loved it. Great character moment for Peter.

Jesus Christ. This is one of those stories I have to make sure my wife doesn’t see before our kid starts pre-school...

For those that haven’t been to the Strong museum, it’s a really cool place. http://www.nintendojo.com/features/specials/playing-with-power-visiting-the-strong-museums-exhibit-on-the-nes 

Loved this game when it came out back in the day. Played through most of it on the GCN Game Boy Player, iirc.

100% agreed. It’s a neat idea, but the technology is too costly and too gimmicky. If PSVR plunges in price, I’ll grab one because I’m a gamer at heart. But it’s too much money for something that’s going to remain niche for a very long time, if not forever.

Or Snake Pass! I enjoyed that one, even if it was kind of a jerk at times.

Look, what happened definitely sucks. I went on a trip to Germany that I basically scrounged up money for and missed a day of the trip because of AAA and Lufthansa’s incompetence. Then they lost our luggage when we got there on our (new) first day, and we had to run around a city trying to buy clothing because we were…

Rewriting the rules for success: Step One: Be born to a second generation rich person.

This is bizarre enough to intrigue me.

Yeah, and maybe by the time Switch 2 comes out it’ll be available.

This is incredible, and I’m so jealous.

I’m a huge Nintendo guy and I’ve always seen a lot of (often justified) complaining about the VC, but the way the PS4 is insanely weak compared to PS3 rarely seems to get much mention. I got my PS4 last summer and I was stunned by how bad it is comparatively. Hell, Virtual Console is better!
