The movie grossed $14 million dollars. For reference, Sonic made $320 million. Super Mario Bros, an awful movie, made $40 million in the early 90s. The games sell well, but we’re not talking Mario Kart, Minecraft or GTA.

Mario, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, and maybe Minecraft and Fortnite could be the only games most Jeopardy contestants with their master’s degrees studying Rococo art could be expected to know, and that’s from news stories talking to worried parents about “Game X is causing your child to worship Satan.”

Why can’t they just create LLCs and buy properties they’ll never occupy in Trump buildings like good money launderers? Why besmirch the good name of Mario?

He’s trying to check every box for Italian stereotypes.

My master plan of buying this game on a Black Friday sale 5 years ago, and then never playing it, is beginning to bear fruit.

That stand was a pain in the ass to put on the shelf in my TV stand, and every time my wife’s cat forgets he’s no longer in a kitten’s body and squeezes his fat ass on that shelf, I get to reset the stand.

Eight months in, and the PS5 is as aesthetically-pleasing as the Pikachu N64, and we all owe an apology to the GameCube handle.

My gut feeling is that they planned a 4K Pro and planned to make OLED standard on Pro and classic models, but due to chip shortages, Pro isn’t coming until 2022. If they announced Pro for June 2022, nobody buys any Switches until then, whereas this gets some people excited for the holidays, and they can roll out more…

This is Sony’s E3 presentation given at a time where they won’t “lose E3” because they didn’t want to announce that God of War and Horizon 2 are both missing 2021, but here’s footage of a new rogue-like game with 8-bit graphics.

Yeah, but there are early adapters who understand the technology (the current 30% 4K market penetration) and people who will buy 4K TVs because you can get them for $500 or less now. The latter are the people who 10 years ago watched 480p content on their new TV, and thought they were watching HD. 4K will be the…

Not being HD certainly hurt Switch at the end of its lifecycle. Way more people had HDTV in 2011 than in 2006, so people ignored something like Skyward Sword because it was 480p. I think they’ll be okay for now, but once PS5/Series X become more widely available, the gap will be more noticeable.

As a PS5 owner, nah, you’re good. By the time you can readily get one, the games that are worth owning will be discounted, and Ratchet and Clank will still look really good come October. I’ve gone months without playing mine. 

Are these details available in all modes or just fidelity?

He’s like a real life Four Leaf Tayback from Tropic Thunder. I mean, the military backs up that he was a sniper for them, but anything beyond that needs a healthy dose of skepticism. I mean why lie about Jesse Ventura? He can get in front of a microphone whenever he wants? Just say you punched out a guy in a bar, any…

Sniper is so over the top in its catering to an audience with Gadsden flag bumper stickers and novelty trailer hitch testicles on their trucks, that it’s almost a parody. It makes Kyle into the old Marine Todd meme.

The idea of a game awards show is fine. Movies, music, specific genres of music, TV shows, Broadway, etc. all have awards shows. However, the awards are the show. People don’t tune in to the Oscars for a new trailer for the next MCU movie.

Keighly is already trying to leach off  E3 season despite departing the organization. If E3 ceases to exist, he’ll try to fill the void with something far more self-promoting.

If they announce a system and then have to delay it, their stock price goes down. If they announce a system and can’t come close to having a successful launch, then people can’t buy the new one, and won’t buy the old one. Sales go down, stock goes down. If they can produce enough units to meet their sales forecasts…

It was a good game up that came out in an absolutely stacked year featuring Skyrim, Dark Souls, Arkham City, Portal 2, and Uncharted 3. The Wii was showing its age being 480p in an age most had adopted HD, and people were over motion controls by then. I think the same game with the same controls coming out at launch…

Skyward Sword sold like 3 or 4 million copies, yet there seems to be about 25 million people who claim to hate it. They want to give that game a fresh start, and if you look at BotW2 trailer, it seems like it might use some elements of the game. If people think they’re getting more Zelda ports this year, they might…
