It does get old though. Remember when every game was a gritty WWII FPS? Or when every game had to have mandatory zombies in some shape or form? I remember playing an adventure game (which one it was, I can’t remember at the moment, it was a long time ago) and after several hours of gameplay with good old fashioned…

For some reason, I read this in the voice of Lrrr (FROM THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8!).

Oh man between the hot springs/bathhouse specials and the summer beach trip, the obligatory injection fanservice in an otherwise perfectly enjoyable* anime series would be in serious jeopardy! Won’t someone think of the fanservice?!

*I know some people like fanservice, and that’s fine. I, personally, find it very…

But do you get to find randomly hidden korok seeds throughout?

Huh, I honestly didn’t know that. Thanks!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first Mario Kart that I played regularly since Super (I had played others, but haven’t had a Nintendo console myself between the Super and the Switch). It drives me crazy that they seem to have changed the item pick ups to punish you when you’re doing well and to give you powerful items if…

Thank you for bringing up hydrogen fuel cell cars... as far as I’m concerned, they are the future, and a lot cleaner than EV’s since they don’t rely on huge batteries full of toxic heavy metals that deteriorate. No idea how the cold would affect one, but I feel that they’re likely the only thing that would compete…

It’s been ages since I’ve played a Soul Caliber game, but Xianghua IIRC, was one of my favorites to play as because she was fast and had a really funky fighting style that made it harder to predict her movies. Straight guy here, fwiw.

Ohhhh... I love Hitman. My best advice, take it slow, study enemy movements and see where the targets go and what they do. If you want some really fun ways to take out the baddies, you can always try to do the mission stories - it’s generally rather fun and easy that way. Basically, it’ll have you do something like:…

Ugh I enjoyed the game for a short bit but on the long run, I couldn’t stand the midi music. Especially in a certain dramatic scene close to the beginning. They had this happy boopy midi song playing which didn’t match what was going on at all.

Hm... true. Maybe the drops could be upgrade modules for light sabers, assuming you’re playing a Jedi/Sith character anyway. Video game mechanics don’t really need to fit in any kind of larger canon, anyway. Spider-Man always has more toys and gadgets in video games than you see in movies and comics (at least the ones…

To satisfy the X-Wing nerd in me, I’d add:
Ace Combat, but with Star Wars.

That is the most succinct and cogent description of how the American economy works as far as ‘success’ goes - nice job! The definition of growth=success is insane though. We see this in the smart phone industry. All of the phone companies are wringing their hands because their growth has slowed, and I’m very sure…

Darth Vadar is Luke Skywalker’s father.

Definitely - to take the analogy further, this is why people were upset over the ending of Mass Effect 3. In the previous games, every single decision you made weighed somehow on the ending - even surprisingly innocuous ones. But then ME3 comes along and the ending boils down to ‘choose a color’, with nothing else…

Don’t discount that there are people who will be attracted to you.

Uh, ‘awful’ is typically the best I can hope for. Even when I was thin, I was hideous.

Honestly, I had no idea that they were actually real. In my defense, though, I've never been much into westerns. Nor did I play Bioshock. I guess part of me assumed Rock Stat =GTA, therefore anything named on RDR2 is a spoof of something else even though it's definitely a more serious game otherwise.

Same here. It may be an old nerd’s tale, but anecdotally I’ve seen/heard the most hardware failures occur at boot time.

There are a ton of people that still believe the reboot myth. The runtime on my desktop typically runs in the 6months+ territory, personally, but at the last company I worked with, they insisted on rebooting the unix servers every 30 days. Unix! Those things will stay up happily for decades without issues.
