A childhood Game Boy cured me of the desire to pitch a controller in frustration, realizing the only one I’d be hurting is myself if the damn thing broke, and I’ve never done it since. Nowadays if I’m getting screwed or I’m just not doing well enough I’ll quit, turn on YouTube, and laugh at OTHER people rage quitting.…

Adorable. :)

I’m just going to assume for Cheetahmen II he played up until the point it essentially softlocks - either that or his NES spontaneously ate itself from the horror of ever having that game put inside it.

I knew he’d prevail in the end but I’m still happy to see the conclusion of the sordid affair. Thank God for Jim.

This is a sad story but I hope it also serves as a cautionary tale that you shouldn’t spend all day and night gaming around the clock. And don’t think I’m holier than thou, I’ve done it before (especially in my college days) and I know how wrecked I felt afterward. It takes a toll that may be far more evident…

I just got bored. Everybody out!

Bigger cases mean bigger manuals, and we don’t see the manual in this photo, but we can see the two clips where it would go. I’m in favor of this.

And yet adjusted for inflation it’s still cheaper than a 3DO or CD-i.

And Best Buy let her put it in the cart but then wouldn’t let her check out.

I will. And really I have nothing against Felix, I just think that the joke - even if innocently intended or because he was out to make a point - was in poor taste and pretty indefensible. I’d have settled for a simple “Bad judgment on my part, sorry about it, I’ll do better” than for him to single out any publication…

Reading that he lashed out at the Wall Street Journal doesn’t make me think he learned anything. It’s a very Trump-esque thing to do to blame the media for problems of your own making.

If a package with every Mega Man X SNES game in it went missing/stolen in the mail, I’d want to jump off a bridge. I don’t think I could live with something that horrifying.

JonTron: “It’s GIRL games, no boys allowed!”

I kinda like it though. Pink is the new black?

Kind of pissed about this one, I won’t lie, given I already spent $100 on the special edition and another $24 on a player’s guide. I don’t need to shell out another $20 on top of that. Bite me Nintendo.

I’ve suddenly developed an interest in the game. ;)

An application fee and a business plan will definitely raise the bar for entry higher than those who flip assets and use sockpuppets to get their games greenlit, so I’m all for it. You’d better believe you have a game people are willing to play before you are willing to pay just to be in the storefront.

1.) This sucks. 2.) Where were the security cameras to catch this theft? 3.) Put some sort of radio/GPS tag in the damn thing that would trip an alert the moment it left the premises.

That’s just the image I was looking for to make a parody of Disney and GameStop. *heh*

Not so coincidentally the games where this sucks the most are the games loaded with microtransactions. They know what they’re doing.

Never bought a crate in a game, nor a skin, and I never will. The only “micro transactions” I have ever done are in Mega Man games and on my Nintendo 3DS to get all the Mega Man badges (so there’s a theme here - pun intended).
