I wonder if this is why my electric usage skyrocketed last month (aside from the obvious increased strain due to heat). Somehow, I've got a home HVAC system from 1977, and I wonder if a little tune-up could decrease how hard it needs to work.

Is the eShop port of that still great? I've never played any Earthbound games, so I'm hoping it holds up as well as some others that I've only discovered for the first time on my Wii U.

Undertale is as great as its reputation suggests. Just a note on the pacifist run - it's doable, but I don't think you get the proper ending on your first run. Once you complete the game, you can restart from a certain point and accomplish any remaining tasks to enable the true pacifist ending. It's worth it.

I finally got here earlier than 3:00 PM!

Weirdly, my favorite is probably the recent Ash Vs. Evil Dead. He's really dialed his Evil Dead persona up to its logical extension, plus it's got the humor of that character in a slightly older-aged context. Outstanding actor, no doubt.

As a fellow fan of horror in games, I would be remiss if I didn't share this website with you: http://horror.dreamdawn.com/. Check it out if you haven't seen it before - this guy is one of the best online writers on the subject of game horror.

This is really promising. As this article points out, the odyssey of this project and its predecessors is an interesting story in its own right. It would be nice if the end of that story was a completed, beloved Allison Road. Good on this couple for continuing their work in the face of production issues, especially…

You know, maybe I did go a bit hyperbolic there. I think it is pretty appalling to repeatedly taunt people who experienced a tragedy, but I probably could have been more measured in my tone.

It's super, super repulsive and characteristic of the absence of empathy that can characterize so much of the internet. Ugh.

It's a shame that these folks have opted to exploit a tragedy (for all involved) in pursuit of a cheap laugh.

LOVE IT!

Aye, 'tis the cold blood.

I enjoyed myself in spite of the low turnout. My favorite moment may have been when I splatted you, laughed to myself, and promptly fell off a platform to my doom. Hopefully we'll get more folks next time, but that was delightful!

Good call. My 3DS is undoubtedly the console that gets the most play at my house, and that's with a Wii U (which I adore) and a fancy PC hooked up to the TV.

It's R1 when using an Xbox One controller on a PC. Wouldn't be shocked if that matches the PS4 setup.

Oh, I really hope they don't remove the Jetpack Jog™. It's both efficient and quite fun!

Definitely upvote. This thing should be saved for posterity, lest anyone repeat it.

I don't know if it's a rivalry as such, but I'd probably skew very classic and go with Mario & Luigi. In recent years, Nintendo has really doubled down on the inferiority complex of the green brother and it's made for consistently hilarious in-game situations. To pull just a recent example (having discussed it with a…

I'll be there!

Concerning the single biomes, I heard that it was intentionally designed that way to encourage players to keep moving on and exploring new worlds through space travel. Whether you believe that hinges on how much faith you put in the word of the developers, but it made sense to me at least.
