Another fun article Fahey, but I think we would be remiss if we didn’t mention that in The Darkness, the player is able to sit on a couch with their girlfriend and watch the ENTIRE 1962 film version of To Kill a Mockingbird. All 2 hours and 10 minutes of it. To my memory, such a strangely impressive feat has never…

My genuine hope is that this is successful enough to get Nintendo to modernize some of their business practices for the Switch 2. Heck, just give me a functional way to communicate with the people on my friends list and I’ll shut up.

Can someone explain the headline? Because from where I’m sitting, Trump used xenophobia and talking out of his ass to go from a bankrupt grapefruit to the most powerful grapefruit on Earth. If we’re not careful, Smith might read this one day and run for office...

Thanks. I hate it.

And I don’t think I’ve ever used those words so appropriately before...

Fingers crossed for this one. It’s been 20 years since the original Smash was released, and for some reason not a single imitator has been able to pull off the formula with comparable success. Shout outs to Playstation All-Stars and Brawlhalla for coming the closest, though.

First of all, the headline made me literally lol. Thanks, Ian.

Secondly, I think Nintendo is trying to capture the immediate, irresistible excitement of Pokemon. Dude was playing on the bus or in an Uber home, and he simply could not wait to walk all the way to the living room. I guess Buizell was, somehow, all he…

Don’t a lot of streamers use a manufactured or exaggerated voice as part of their brand?

I read it as the river washing you back the way you came, or you losing something in the current and needing to retrieve it. Tbh, I haven’t been this stoked for a set since Mirrodin!

Who are all these people buying from resellers? I’m a huge gamer, but I would just feel like such a chump paying extra and enabling someone’s predatory way of life. Yes, I want a PS5, but between Gamepass and my Switch I have no shortage of games to play while I wait for supply to meet the demand.

I see what you did there. And I SWEAR I’m not just being stubborn, but I legit dislike the episodes where he’s just hanging out with other Mandos. I think you just made me realize why.

Ha! Really? I have no memory of that. I am also fully aware that I’m in the minority here, but beyond the novelty of being a prequel, I found Reach completely forgettable. (Full disclosure: I played the game over a decade ago, but my nerd brain usually holds on to stuff pretty easily)

That’s a good point, but I also think comedy can rely on slapstick and tone a bit easier than drama.

ngl, I beat the entire game and couldn’t tell you a single thing about any of the so-called ‘characters.’ I get the reason why they’re all wearing Spartan armor, but there’s also a reason Spider-man always takes his mask off during important scenes... It’s just really hard to convey emotion and character without…

I bet it’s Mephisto.

I think you answered your own question on that one... Also, I’m told there’s a lot of erotically charged fan fiction about him.

He’s already a Mii costume. Sorry fam.

The VMU did second-screen integration better than the WiiU could pull off like 20 years later.

But their current strategy necessitates kids going onto much riskier social media platforms to find people to play with. All this “risk” could be handled through Nintendo’s actually very competent parental control features. But I think that whoever ran the online play for the original DS is still in charge and they…

The most hilarious fail in my opinion was when the Switch built an “invite” feature into the OS (an idea that should have been there on day one), and yet first party Nintendo games like Super Mario 3D World still aren’t using it. I genuinely want to be a fly on the wall in the Nintendo Switch Online offices. There…

I wonder if the reception of SNK vs Capcom: Chaos had anything to do with this decision. That weird, janky game will always hold a special place in my heart, but from a marketing standpoint the strategy is pretty risky since you’re basically competing with your own IP for sales. That’s why I hope that if we ever get a…
