Are nerds the best group on Earth at coming up with large-scale protest ideas that will never actually be effective in bearing out the intended cause? Or at least, at creating large-scale failed-by-default protests that don't involve leaving the house.?

If I ever came to a point in my life where that wasn't being sarcastic, I'd ask to be murdered immediately.

Well, that's encouraging.

As mentioned above, Wario Land 2 did it very well. The mechanic isn't necessarily a bad one, it's just an extremely challenging one to do right.

Well, I certainly hope that the .12% of the overall audience for non-casual video games who care about these kinds of pedantic details gets really angry and writes an awfully stern petition to make sure these kinds of mistakes never happen again!

I'm also basing the cost on average odds of winning, which don't seem to be on the Taco Bell website yet. But, even if it…

Yes, that's a pretty accurate picture of how my hand looked like the entire time I played Hunters. And afterwards, when the it remained roughly cramped that way for a minute or two.

I'm surprised no one seems to have mentioned this yet- even ignoring the health/digestive aspect, chances are that by the time you eat enough of these boxes to actually have anything resembling a shot at winning, you'll have spend enough money to have just bought a Vita in the first place. Which is a guaranteed…
