That may compel me to buy the Expansion Pak. In the meantime I have the $20 tier, and last night tried out Super Mario Land 2 and Zelda Link’s Awakening DX. I have both original games, but being able to actually see them with my old eyes is a major plus :)

This was a bad joke, to be sure. But if, by some slim possibility, something DID happen, or someone decided to take advantage of the situation, and the police didn’t show, then they would be catching flak over not being there.

Oh, definitely. My first attempt to try that (in 1993) combining family video with anime VHS I had rented, let’s just say it didn’t go so well, and does not exist anymore :)

RIP to the OG AMV artist :( I remember when people used to either use two VCRs to attempt their AMVs (the first one I actually saw was one from 1989, using Tommy Shaw’s “Girls with Guns” to video of The Dirty Pair; that’s somewhere on YouTube).

Yeah, that makes perfect sense to do that. Most crooks don’t want trouble, they just want the stuff and get out quick. When I worked at a department store years ago, that was our policy too.

Yeah, but they would have had to let them in anyway to show they had a way to pay, unless they were carrying cash (and $500 or more is dangerous to carry around with them, more so if you had to show them through the door).

That is literally crazy. Most businesses in retail I know of require their workers to comply with a robber’s demands, and not try to stop them. Gamestop fired the manager apparently for following standard procedure?

Yeah, I remember this fraud back in the 1970s when I was a teenager. He was a bullshit artist then, too. The Amazing Randi made a fool of him, though for some reason people STILL get buffaloed by this imbecile.

What I find ludicrous is that, after letting it be known that owners of Rare Replay would be getting the title for free, it’s only when I try and find it that I find out that Rare Replay owners that own the physical copy won’t be getting getting it. It’s only free for those who bought the digital version.

I played Shadow Warrior back in the day...while it was funny seeing Lo Wang try out his variation of Duke-speak (and getting blasted by women he made his crude comments to), and all the anime references liberally littered around the landscape, I felt that, after the 4th level it got pretty repetitive and boring. I did…

32GB DDR4 memory is relatively dirt-cheap right now. Unless you’re running a potato you should be able to get more RAM on the cheap. Looking at the specs for Forspoken, I’d be more concerned about the video cards you’ll be paying out the ass for (even more if crypto makes a comeback).

Guess they could have said “Delete”, but then I’d be wondering where Monika was :)

Turn it into the world’s largest, stupidest Pez dispenser.

While I am sure some people would get so attached to their virtual GF it would be a detriment to their health (remember some years ago, when someone married their DS GF?), in this case it seems like a lot of ballyhoo to me.

I just want to see some decent competition to YouTube. Considering the iron grip they have with videos, you’d think they’d be investigated for being a monopoly. If competition got successful enough, YouTube would be forced to liberalize their platform, and realize that not every viewer is 9 years old.

“Nobody said a word about a PC version releasing,” Yoshi-P said. “Why is it like a PC version is releasing six months later? Don’t worry about that, buy a PS5! Sorry, I went overboard. We did our best so please look forward to it.”

I have my own YouTube channel where I mostly post either my A Walk with The Relic videos or random stuff; I haven’t had enough views to get it monetized, though they still run ads on them, and even though I do or say nothing that could be construed as “offensive”, I still add that the videos are “not for kids”, just…

Sheesh...stumbled on that Belphegor image and thought it might be Peter Gabriel in his Genesis days :)

You know, does anyone at whoever controls Kotaku actually listen when their user base mentions their dislike for forcing people to watch a video to find out what games are coming out this week? I won’t watch a video of something that should be an article, and obviously I’m not the only one.

So, has anyone on Kotaku’s staff seen this story on Microsoft’s first US union?
