It’s really not as complicated as it may look, and it’s a pretty decent game. I play it with my eight-year-old, and only occasionally have to remind her about weaknesses or point out combos that she missed. If you have any interest, and a willing opponent for casual play, I recommend picking up a starter set or a…

I suspect it’s pretty much the same reasons I (and apparently you) keep reading the stories she writes. We’re geeks, we play video games and we like sex.

This isn’t the only game system where Marvel heroes can be combined with effects from other games. The Legendary system also has a Marvel game, so you can have Black Widow and Wolverine fight xenomorphs and Lo Pan wearing Captain Tightpants’ pretty floral bonnet and sharing a bottle of beer with Jack Burton if you…

That’s why it’s KUBO and the two strings. Sorry, can’t explain it any clearer than that without spoiling.

Best movie I’ve seen in ages. I actually really like what they did with those tonal shifts. It would have been boring and a little oppressive if the whole movie had been the same “awed and mysterious” tone throughout. And even Coraline had comic relief characters that popped up regularly to keep things from getting…

I bet this would be a lot funnier if I had any idea who these people were. I just had to explain to my daughter why the “Action Delivery Team” episode of Futurama was so funny, and now I feel old.

I agree that there are a lot of nice things that you can do on vacation, but you don’t have to be sightseeing and active all the time. This guy mentioned that they go to Turkey almost every year, so it’s not some once in a lifetime opportunity to see Istanbul. I always bring a bunch of books on my vacations, and will…

So you’re saying she should lie about her experiences because they aren’t good for the Cause? Think about how that would sound if it was coming from the other side.

You do realise the 3ds is still using cartridges, right?

Is this shit for real? I’m a freaking genderqueer Jewish atheist (yes, we exist). I go to churches for weddings and funerals of very good friends, not for video games. What the hell were they smoking when they came up with this idea? Maybe I’m misunderstanding. Do you actually have to go into the location? It really…

Dudes are stupid. And although i really WANT to say “not all dudes”, it’s freaking hard to say that when this really is nearly a universal phenomenon. My wife is intelligent, strong and more successful than me by far, and I do everything I can to support her however I can. I go to her events, help out and smile for…

I don’t have a dog in this fight, having never played any big console shooter, but that’s a pretty big change there. Fans love what fans love, and they get super attached to the formula. If the next Legend if Zelda was a science fiction game, I’d be pretty annoyed, too. I live and breathe science fiction, but that…

You seem to be under the impression that those “actually-existing humans from marginalized backgrounds” aren’t asking for representation. I can assure you that we are.

My big issue, or at least one of them, with with acts like Traynor is that white gatekeepers treat her very very differently from how they would handle a black woman singing the exact same words in the exact same way. I knew she was not black before i ever saw a picture of her, because they played her song about…

... and boom, any kind of sympathy i might have originally felt for the dude goes right out the window as the whole thing goes from “local guy with basically good intentions does not know how to PR” to “what a total fucking hypocrite”.

You win the comments today, Sir.

Serious question, although it might sound silly: is there any way to turn the stereoscopic 3D OFF and/or turn off one of the two monitors? I ask because i have no stereo vision (only one working eye) and there is no such thing as a 3D effect that works for me because I simply don’t see 3D. (I’m kind of belaboring this…

I bought an N3DSXL and passed my aqua 3DS on to my younger daughter. Both my kids have 3DSes now, and we all play them pretty regularly. I don’t see that stopping anytime soon as I’ve got a major backlog of RPGs to get through, my eldest won’t be happy until she has perfect endings in every installment of Harvest…

Mine was co-oping all the way through Abe’s Oddysee with all my roommates at the time while living in Jersey City. We would take turns on that game every single night, and even got our visitors to take turns. During the day we would tell each other “hello. Follow me” and crack ourselves up. People were playing Oddysee…
