I personally despise the strong flavor of coffee, but I do drink it sometimes, as I am in dire need of two things: a caffeine fix, and being cheap. I mitigate the calorie bomb you mention via skim milk, Truvia (my favorite artificial sweetener, which is stevia-based), and sugar-free vanilla syrup. It produces a drink…

The majority of responses to your comment appear to further discuss and/or debate the complications of finite resources, but none of them appeared to touch on this being a design issue more than anything else.

In the scene that inspired Kirk to write this piece, people were milling about in an identical manner to what…

Besides what others have said, consider that BlizzCon has a high cost of entry compared to virtually every other anime and/or video game convention in the United States. There are definitely attendees who have already invested a lot simply to go, and who are enthusiastic to invest even more.

They are labeled to indicate that they would be. However, that is a function that doesn’t carry over from NSMB style. Additionally, they are the original SMB3 butt-slide sprites, no matter their current labeling.

The sprites are already there for butt-sliding, too. Who knows... https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Ma…

Though this was not my childhood arcade, I too visited it, and later, I too lamented its loss. I now placate myself by visiting GameWorks in Ontario, and shaking my fist at anyone who complains about it seeming “run down” (as if that were a bad thing), or who believes it’s no better than Dave & Busters.

As I read the first paragraph, I unconsciously conflated the “f” in “factory-authorized” with the third “p” in “an unlimited supply of parts.” Ah, what trials one could survive with an unlimited supply of farts.

One quick correction: Junkrat doesn’t jump inside of the tire. He’s left standing outside of it. As such, while you’re piloting it around, someone may find him (in a trance-like state, a la Link in Wind Waker when he’s controlling a statue) and shoot him.

I completely understand your tease—pun not intended—and I wouldn’t rock that myself, but if she’s to be rebellious while among a group of man-babies, I sort of enjoy the schadenfreude of their being told off by a lady in up-high pigtails.

Really—imagine it. She could be cruising around the studio in a frilly pastel…

Rush is “too pop?” Sonic’s music has always been pop-heavy. Dreams Come True are essentially the Japanese Beatles in terms of national relevance, and they’re a pop band. Michael Jackson and Brad Buxer lived and died pop. Jun Senoue, who also worked on S3&K, not to mention virtually everything after, is a pop-rock…

I have indeed, hence the wonderment. I don’t believe I could ever call a Sonic game “too fast” in criticism, though I can understand level design criticism. Due to Rush’s speed, though, I would say that its levels must be relatively sparse, else it would be the game design equivalent of building a wall on the Autobahn.

…

What about Rush? It not only managed to use the DS’s twin screens well, but it was scored by Hideki Naganuma.

Will never get enough of that title image.

Also: dressing up on Halloween is forever.

THAT’S NOT HOW YOU AMERICA!

That’s so strange. I’d enjoyed this article and video thoroughly, and the only downside was your out-of-nowhere comment. If only I’d known it was supposed to offend me, I may not have been so unpleasantly surprised!

Personally, I feel that this is a magnificent Twitter account, and no amount of nay-saying will ever make me think otherwise. It was already hysterically nonsensical, and when they took one of her most robust tweets and laid it over a coastline photograph as an inspirational message, I was sold.

I used BBSes in the 80s, and it was better than this.

In addition to supporting your stance, I must express great admiration for your name, butts and stuff. Few labels are so wondrous.

I was with you up until the PlayStation 4 stinger.

As a former member of Team Xbox, and a virulent critic of PlayStations 2 and 3, I followed the PlayStation 4 from the earliest whisperings of concepts up until the final product hit stores. This was not an easy win on Sony’s part. Hell, I wasn’t even on-board with the…

As much as I love what Belts already mentioned, this is a large part of the reason I bought “Rockman X4.” Regardless, you shouldn’t feel bad...

X4’s storyline, what with the rebellion, double-crossing, and what not, was a magnificently complex storyline for an action-packed platformer. That the US received a…
