I don't mean the reboot with Megan Fox, I mean the one with Vanilla Ice.

I believe he was referencing South Park's next-gen console wars/Game of Thrones parody. No need to get worked up, friend.

Grimmy in particular looks like Lord Zed from the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers:

shoulders and delts are a bit weak, and the chest is still Bayformer, but hell, I'll take what little victories we can. At least he's not as kibbletastic as the current OP.

In the cartoons, they unearthed dinosaur bones, and as an experiment, Ratchet and Wheeljack wanted to make robot versions of them for kicks.

One of them can sing, and the other one is Katy Perry.

Ah, that clears things up. So weird, the Voyager having the better transformation. I mean, I understand the simplicity in the Ultra classes, but Leader? They used to be the showroom pieces.

I don't care what they call you; you're still Bulkhead to me.

But you just posted an image for Voyager Grimlock, that looked more like this:

Yes folks, Hasbro thinks your 5 year old is so stupid, they can't transform a toy more than 1 step.

Don't worry: Bay balances himself out by putting dragon horns on the T-rex.

Kinda makes me sad; a "For-Retarded-Kids" line is not the ideal compromise between playability and complexity, IMHO. Hasbro's opinion of gradeschoolers is really that dim? I mean, sure I destroyed a couple of toys when I was that age, but not because of their complexity.

So Slag is now Slug?

Jesus Christ, when Hasbro said they were going for simplistic, kid-friendly stuff, they weren't kidding. We're entering Duplo-level complexity here.

Too. Much. Kibble!

That won't exactly stop people from rage-tagging. Let's say you got Gone Home, expecting a moody horror monsters-jumping-out-of-closets game, only to realize halfway through that you're never getting any monsters, that this is an audio log collecting game. Since you own the game, you're still free to label it "Not a…

"It matters because academics— the people who propagate games into a respected area of pop culture and legitimize them beyond what the sales numbers and money can do, and who are in turn respected by developers, and frequently are developers themselves— think it matters."

you mean the GOT parody with ps4 and xbox? That was a prequel? I just thought they made a small reference to this whole thing at the end.

I disagree. Making it a Diablo click-fest would've disrupted the story a lot more. I mean let's face it, which game has a deeper narrative, Diablo or Fallout? One is about clicking things in dungeons until they spit out pants, the other is about a post-apocalyptic wasteland where every combat scenario has an…
