The Splatoon team is generally one of the more modernish teams at Nintendo. They actually had patch notes unlike most other Nintendo games, and made overhauls to maps to improve game flow and balance.

it just reminded me that they designed the cool robot-suit first, and only later realized that they might have to figure out how a human being could possibly fit in there.

Motherfuckers, they are gonna stop production and then turn around and announce Snes classic aren’t they? Maintain the hype of the Nes and move that momentum to the next product. It’s a cold calculated business move. 

Two years ago a friend of mine was giving a long speech over beers about how Nintendo hadn’t made a new franchise worth its salt in decades. I disagreed heartily and told him to borrow my Wii U and Splatoon for a few weeks to see what he was missing. He told me that, GUARANTEED, hed be returning it in two days after…

I hadn’t even considered this, but the plot thickens!

Every prospective gun owner should, before purchasing a gun, look around his/her home. Is there a screwdriver somewhere where it shouldn’t be? Is there a basket full of unfolded laundry? Is there a bag of chips in the pantry that has gone stale from being left open?

Flash Thompson.

I think it’s kinda funny how Misty and Brock are so important in a lot people’s minds (and the US version definitely played that up in commercials and merchandise and, uh... pop albums inspired by the cartoon) but realistically they probably weren’t in the series all that long.

Man, I’ve spent so much time feeling out Lego figures over the years. Sometimes I even keep the series sheet/checklist/photo thingy in my wallet so I can look at it while feeling around. My son is still young enough that he’s actually impressed with this shit, so that fuels me when my hands get sore.

I don’t have kids and this is the first time I’ve heard about this “scam”. But, I don’t see how it’s any different then say, Pokemon cards back in the day, where you don’t know what you’re getting until you open it and you keep buying more to collect them all.

Jesus Christ, what year is it to people in Kansas?

This is one if the best games to read about with no practical knowledge of. I literally don’t know how a rap game worked before microphones, and why button mapping mattered, or what the hell the chicken level is... Basically all my knowledge on this game is the name and that it has a rapping dog, which made your whole…

I really like your list, but

Yeah... I cancelled my EGM subscription after I broke a Wavebird goin for Sonic and Tails in Melee. Good times.

One of the reasons I’m glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's is things like this. Sure, this pursuit—and others like it (I cannot give an accurate count of the hours I spent trying to bring back General Leo)—were ultimately nothing but wild goose chases, but damn, was it fun.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m absolutely grateful…

The younger siblings of the world are pressing X to pay respects

Ugh, those fucking pyramid schemes make me wanna punch someone in the throat. If I have to hear one more thing about essential oils I’m gonna lose my shit.
