I love the appearance of the console. It doesn’t seem real; it looks more like a prop from an old 70s/80s sci fi movie. I don’t have any kind of nostalgia for the games, though.

Well, you can’t say Sega doesn’t know their audience.

This would have been perfect for a marketing campaign ten years ago.

I am so on board with this; a Lego Marvel game with better flying controls would be a hell of a lot of fun. Like a Lego Dimensions without all the nickel-and-diming.

To play Devil’s advocate, Sonic could actually drift in Unleashed. So it’s not exactly impossible.

It’s about playing by the rules of the game at hand; in this case, a test of driving ability. You could hypothetically beat Usain Bolt in a Lamborghini, but to do so would completely miss the point of the contest to begin with.

It’s a bit eerie how good it looks.

Which is why I never use urinals when I pee. Private stall all the way, baby.

In retrospect I think Karen Gillan was a real highlight of this film. Not so much in terms of her character getting fleshed out (though that’s certainly a part of it) but for how well she disappeared into the role. There’s nothing whatsoever of Amy Pond in her performance, and that’s amazing.

Clearly you need to meet more lesbians, then.

I don’t think you can apply logic to a universe as cartoonish as Overwatch. The player roster stars three robots, a talking gorilla, a cyborg ninja and a time-travelling lesbian. Japanese Hawkeye is probably one of the tamest characters in the game from that perspective.

What, you mean like this?

I thought a sphincter was supposed to keep the crap out of sight for the most part.

That is disturbingly lifelike. Bravo!

Ironically the official Ratchet costume seems to be missing an ear...

Oh, I was as well. The Thousand Year Door is one of my all time favourite Mario games. To its credit, Paper Jam does ameliorate its own issues; it gives you hints for the bosses, and the difficulty can be adjusted on the fly if you need it.

Ugh, fake GBA games on eBay are the frigging worst. Best way to avoid fakes (if you didn’t already know) is to google the code on the label and compare the artwork against the right one for your region somewhere online. Price and product description are another great indicator; if it’s a rare game and suspiciously…

Ugh, I wanted to get on with Paper Jam but my playthrough ground to a halt about halfway through. The problem is that Paper Mario is a pain in the neck for the most part; another character to jump over something, and another character to protect during battles (and really, his attacks don’t drastically help you in…

The Steam version is probably going to be better. de Blob was let down by its pointless waggle controls on Wii. It was a pretty fun little platformer, though, and I’m glad it lives on.
