Normally, I let things slide when it comes to the mainline Pokémon games, but this is a major part of the core experience. I get that Game Freak hasn’t worked on this kind of hardware before, but I would have rather seen them delay the game to get all of the Pokémon in there. I guess I’ll hold out hope that they will…

JUST 50 dollars?! Wow! 

JUST 50 dollars?! Wow! 

I’m a white dude from Texas and every time this happens to me I give people this look.

People said the same thing about low/mid-skill jobs in the 20th century, and look how that worked out. They unionized and got better pay and working conditions. Warehouse workers are the new factory workers. They’re underpaid, overworked, and tired of being treated like an expendable resource. When I worked for a…

It’s surprising to me that it took this long.

We make mazapan cupcakes at the bakery where I work! ^_^

I hope they aren’t all white... Give me black without the overall print, but with the white ADIDAS stripes and the embroidered Pokemon on the outer side, and I’d be all over these. Well, as long as they’re priced reasonably.

Between this and that bus driver who had sex with a 14 year-old getting off with ten years of probation makes me think we need better laws regarding rape.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It’s still one of my favorite games, and I’ll play through it every now and then just for the hell of it.

But it would have looked so awesome to have the teams under the big screens over the field! >_<

The Allen Event Center is nice, but it would be so much cooler if it were happening at AT&T Stadium or the American Airlines Center.

I know it’s not a popular opinion. Afterall, they did tone it down thanks to y’all complaining about it. I enjoyed it, because it tied the story together. I also enjoyed searching around for different clues and story tidbits. The last game to do anything with it well was Black Flag, and each successive game since…

Thank goodness. I stopped playing when they started to tone down the modern day sci-fi plotline. Stepping back into that sounds awesome.

I rejected my country side back when I left my hometown in rural Texas. Lately, I’ve been trying to get back in touch with that part of me. Specifically, the non-toxic aspects of my experience there. It’s nice to have music like this. It’s like the music version of a person who grew up in a small town listening to a…

Man, I wish we’d start ignoring these idiots who clearly don’t make up a significant portion of our society. It’s like when a kid acts up in a store. You don’t give them the attention they want, you starve them of the attention to show them their bullshit isn’t going to get them any.

It sounds like Amtrak should look into upgrading to bullet trains. It’s kind of ridiculous that a country of this size doesn’t have a reliably fast rail system like the Shinkansen in Japan. It would be expensive to implement, but I could see it being competitive with airlines in ridership, and easily making that money…

I don’t see that happening for quite some time. Plus, if 5G mobile towers turn out to be half as good as companies are claiming it will be, that might mitigate that issue. I remember my days of satellite internet out in rural Texas. It was not great.

According to the 2010 US Census, 80.7 percent of the population lives in urban areas. These areas almost assuredly have sufficient internet capabilities to support this kind of service. 

I’m planning on picking this up for Switch. I know it won’t look as good as the other two remasters, but I want to revisit this game with the updated mechanics. It’s actually one of my favorite stories from the franchise.

It’d be more telling if I hadn’t just described how I’m capable of distinguishing between good and bad Sonic content without my general enjoyment of the character deciding that for me.
