The only Cards expansion I've been disappointed with is the box expansion, which comes with the bigger, blacker box. There's really only two good cards in that one, one of which is a special shiny card. But the expansion isn't the point of getting a huge box to hold all of the cards, so it was more of a bonus.

I wouldn't be so sure. I don't know how true this was in the 90s, but in the 70s and early 80s, when a game was ported from one platform to another (typically from a successful arcade game), it was completely re-implemented on the new platform. They didn't have the APIs and multi-target compilers that modern

The colors, the hair, the "tiara"... But it's mostly the pose. That's Lynda Carter's signature Wonder Woman pose.

The definitions I'm most familiar with are alpha is feature-complete (all gameplay exists, but some art / levels / etc are placeholder), and beta is content-complete (everything is done except the bugfixing and possibly some balance / tuning changes). This certainly could be alpha.

Sluggy Freelance. I think the vampire plot arc was in the late '90s.

Reminds me of Riff's wooden stake gun: "It shoots 100 stakes a second. Unfortunately, it only holds 1000 stakes, and it takes 2 days to reload."

So does Marvel, but nobody would call Jean Grey a Disney princess.

Goatse is an email service provider now. Yes, you could actually have thiswillbemylasttransmission@goatse.cx.

I'm curious what game you're thinking of, because the only 2 I can think of are The World Ends With You and Dragon Quest 9, which are both predated by Nintendogs (by 2 and 4 years, respectively).

Out of curiosity, where do you tend to tag people? On the street, subway / bus? I got hundreds of people at PAX East, but on a typical day in my small city I'll get my wife, and maybe one of my coworkers.

They couldn't let people vote for Mario 3D World because then everyone would have voted for it, and if a Mario game won then Kotaku would lose all of their credibility among the dudebro shooter crowd.

Sure, you'll pick TLoU this year, but last year for game of the year you passed up an even better game about being a surrogate father to a young girl while fighting zombies.

We expect Sony's and Microsoft's new consoles to thrive over the next three years, with cumulative worldwide sales of 37.7 million PS4 and 29 million Xbox One consoles by year-end 2016. We do not expect Nintendo's Wii U to fare as well, with cumulative sales of under 20 million by 2016.

Sorry, the First Amendment doesn't have a "had it coming" clause.

I read the first 3 words of that headline and thought this was going to be an Ada Lovelace action figure. So disappointed.

It's funny you posted this picture, because your fourth paragraph perfectly describes what Shadowrun calls an overwatch decker.

You're right, the circumstances are completely different. Nixon was a criminal.

Why not? Nixon was.

If you're bored with Cards, try combining it with other games, like Pictionary: "You want me to draw Pac-Man doing what!?"
