Well, doing what Nintendon’t surely didn’t work.

Sonic (the restaurant) appears to be riding pretty high on the commercials featuring those two dudes waxing philosophical over frozen drinks and cut-rate hotdogs.

...then again, the hedgehog’s tagline of “gotta go fast” would certainly fit what happens to the digestive tract of the average Sonic diner, so...

Obviously, this means Rouge is getting an expanded role in Sonic Forces. :P

“We saw how carefully Nintendo managed their characters, so we teamed up with Hooters.” - Sega logic

why doesnt Somic team up with, idk... Sonic?

*Nintendid.

So I guess now Sega does what Nintendoes

In a certain sad way, what Gamestop is doing is extremely rational—Gamestop has no future or long-game, so squeezing every penny out of their customers while they still have them is a sound, if immoral, strategy.

Skeptical for 3 reasons.

I welcome the increase in production quality, but I question the necessity of the reload mechanic. The higher difficulties already felt pretty absurdly difficult, often requiring specific weapon types for cheesing strategies where most of the weapons types ended up being utterly useless. This just sounds like it’s…

Great! Now you have a single point of failure for your entire life. Don’t get me wrong, I use one too (with a physical dongle two-factor), but they are at best a reasonably secure tradeoff between convenience and security. But, if your manager’s vendor gets hacked directly, all the downstream security doesn’t mean…

But those aren’t necessarily secure either...

A lot of the early Metroid games borrow from the Alien series. This was one of the first pieces that drew me to the Metroid Database, all the way back in the 90s. http://www.metroid-database.com/features/alien.php

Also the music was a big part of what I think drew people in. It sets the tone of being on an alien world, all alone. No NPC helpers, no towns to rest at, and it isn’t just a constant adrenaline pushing platformer like the Mario games so there’s a lot more time for that isolation to be felt, and the soundtrack…

Blizzard WILL NOT pay for it EVER. Getting it into the game will be more valuable to the artist than any money. Blizzard know this. They also know that once you let one amateur in you are opening the flood gates to an inundation of other submissions form “my mom said it was good” types.

Video game companies practically never buy outside concepts, I don’t know if it’s a pride thing or what but it is nearly guaranteed not to happen.

I never thought I’d be grateful for that garbage fire of a movie.

It’s weird that apparently we have Dragonball: Evolution to thank for all of Toriyama’s recent involvement. From what I understand, the movie was so bad that the idea of Evolution being the last thing to come out of the Dragonball franchise left a bad taste in his mouth. This we got Battle of the Gods, Super, and…

Judge: “Sgt. Barnes, what justification do you offer for why you shot and killed a deaf man with developmental disabilities who was carrying a metal walking stick?”
