I’ve said for years that as soon as we get some new Metroid titles, I’d pick up whatever system they’re on.

I’m putting my money where my mouth is and picking up a 2DS XL tonight, already have a case and microSD card on the way for it, and Samus Returns is pre-ordered.

It’s not a 3D switch, it’s a lag switch.

Uh, if the screen was failing after a couple of months it was clearly a defective one...why didn’t you contact Nintendo and have it replaced under warranty? I rocked a 2DS for a year solid without a single issue. Only got rid of it because I wanted the new system with the upgraded specs.

you say this stuff as if unions give equal representation to all their members, which is unequivocally false. You’re selling bullshit here man.

Not really. I worked for a hotel a decade ago that was half union, half non. Those who joined the union made one wage under one set of rules, those who didn’t made a different wage under a different set of rules. This policy has since changed due to “all or nothing” laws that were passed around the time I left, but in…

Well, when you say “benefits” of a contract in terms of public unions, it’s benefits for the members, but an increased expense for everyone else (the rest of the American taxpayers).

But taxes are what the government needs to run its programs. We can debate all day about what those programs should be and how much they should cost but I think in general people agree that the government needs to have an operating budget, therefore taxes are necessary. A union is not necessary. It is not a government…

Don’t forget, without union contracts workers can’t be forced to contribute to the unions pet political candidates either.

So you’re in favor of forced dues for workers? Out of curiosity, are there any free riders at Gizmodo Media?

The idea of manufactured shortages is absurd. The Wii-U is a perfect example. They were actually pretty hot right out of the gates and stores ran out. If they had more units available, they would have sold a lot more early on. Then, when they DID have units available, demand has decreased. This is in comparison to the…

“...I believe that this time next year, this country will be right to work in the public sector.”

It sucks that it’s always online, but why did you buy an always online game if you don’t have the resources to play it?

It’s not the processor. IIRC, it’s the storage chips that are in high demand. And Nintendo is only getting theirs after Apple’s orders are fulfilled.

That is utter nonsense. Nintendo has no interest whatsoever in Switch shortages. The faster they can push out the hardware into customers’ waiting hands the more software they can sell, and the bigger market share they can grab, leading to more 3rd party support.

Wow.... Sometimes I take “2017" for granted, I guess...

So if go beat the hell out of my wife right now for no apparent reason other than I’m in a bad place, it’s all gravy as long as I “change” afterwards? Actions are whats important in defining a person’s character not words. Just because somebody claims or even truely never will do something like that again doesn’t…

His attitude and the severity and frequency of his crimes should bar him from operating in a tournaments like this because its possible that he might have explosive outburst and hurt someone. There’s a reason why employers dont take chances on people like him because their past history is usually a good indicator of…

The issue is that he’s a criminal with a history of violent crime. While he hasn’t committed a violent crime in about a year and a half, he was busted with controlled substances without a prescription 3~4 months ago, so he’s (presumably) still not on the level. That’s a fair amount of risk, fair enough that if I were…

“I am human and you are human,” Layton told me over the phone from his Las Vegas hotel room last week at EVO, the biggest fighting games tournament in the world. “Who are you to judge me?”

Here's the deal. If it tastes good, what the fuck do you care? I mean, okay, if your concern is artificial chemicals in your food, I get it, but in that case you shouldn't have been eating this stuff anyway.
