But subway’s food is barely food, the only thing that makes it great is the customization or is it better in Japan?

“Forced others to cheat” feels disingenuous.

I mean, yeah, if most players in a given competitive game are abusing a bug for personal gain, I can totally understand the feeling that “I’m going to have to do the same thing in order to stand a chance.”

...but if you’re abusing a bug to give yourself a competitive edge,…

i think its for all the characters. mario could use fireballs but what would peach use, or the rabbids.

Yoshi’s Safari was a gun game. The entire game was Mario shooting his superscope looking gun on the back of Yoshi, in first person. So yea not sure why everyone thinks this is the first time or that Nintendo is against guns.

That’s so silly. Nintendo won’t have their wills bent by a check from Ubisoft. This character (Mario) has had a Q rating above Mickey Mouse. You protect a character like that as it is the lifeline of your company; the pulse.

Megaman? Try Metroid first.

Nintendo’s answer would’ve been more:

Of course you had to drag them away screaming from Duke 3d.. Quake had no strippers, and more importantly, no built-in mechanic to press a key and inform other players via audio that they were an inspiration for birth control. These are key features for any multiplayer game.

My biggest takeaway from the article is that not only is American McGee a person, that’s his birth name. I always thought it was only the name of a development studio.

Yeah, Willits is full of total horse shit. Multiplayer maps were a doom staple long before Quake. Heck I made multiplayer only maps before Quake came out. Now as to who made the first maps ever? Who knows, but there were 3D multiplayer arcades with vector graphics in the early 80s possibly the late 70s.

“multiplayer-only map” is one of those concepts has been around for a lot longer than people realize until they start trying to quantify it. I can think of a few NES games with special levels only available for multiplayer (Double Dragon, Super Dodge Ball), and I wouldn’t be surprised if such things existed on earlier…

I’m not really into buying repro games. And $100 is obscene.

I also have my original SNES release.

I just checked, and that episode aired in 2002. So it’s been 15 years. So they conceivably have run out of stories at this point.

It’s still good! It’s still good!

Write a full score for each show, Zutroi, and every week you’ll get a shiny nickel.

Don’t you worry about Mr. Clausen.

Remember Alf? He’s back... in pog form!

Like we needed more proof that The Simpsons should have ended ages ago.

That’s upsetting. It isn’t just the scoring, it’s also most of the original songs. I have the CDs of Songs in the Key of Springfield and Go Simpsonic and they still get regular play on my iPod. He’s going to be tough to replace.
