As a poor kid in the 80s who thought these would scratch the itch, nah. They were awful and did nothing but announce loudly you were a poor kid who couldn’t afford a console or quarters for the arcade.

Having grown up with these things as my only source of mobile gaming, I promise you: even at the time they got boring quickly.

I hated these things. I feel like everyone I knew growing up had an older relative who, at some point in their childhood, teased them with “I got you [a new Nintendo game|that game you wanted|a Gameboy (the cruelest one)] and then presented them with one of these craptacular electronic disappointment factories.

“But they were cheap, incredibly durable, surprisingly addictive”

Am all for retro, but this is ridiculous!!

Even the low income crowd is a hard sell. If you buy all 4 you are in cheap tablet territory (even just 2 if its Black Friday or Prime Day). And then you have thousands of free games. 

Why?

It was absolutely, 410%, not under advertised. Every commercial break on Hulu since early January. Before every YouTube video for weeks. Plastered all over my Xbox Homescreen. The wife watches network TV and saw a dozen ads a night. This thing was literally everywhere non stop for a month.

Maybe because there is still a justified “it is probably shite” reaction to any “DCU” film?

I’m actually good with this. Keoghan—objectively a very good actor as clear through many roles—is just not my cup of tea and, no offense to the guy, is a definite dice role as a leading man.

I saw The Phantom Menace in the theater nine times when it came out.

Can I just politely ask an editorial-related question here?

I may be in a minority here, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with continuing to go back to the original-trilogy formula. One of the reasons I liked TFA so much was because it’s basically a re-imagining of A New Hope with modern special effects and more emotional depth.

Plus Trek requires a lot more critical thinking and that's a pretty high hurdle for a lot of the assholes.

If people cared as much about the real universe as they do about fictional ones, humanity might not be on a path to extinction.

Here’s a thought for these neo-idealists, let men be men and accept there are differences between the sexes. I know it’s a radical thought but...it’s also an inescapable reality.

all the people who are mad at him are insane shut-ins and losers.
