you’re right dude, political candidates never make any calculated decision or deals, they all just fly by the seat of their pants and wake up each morning totally oblivious to what they will do that day. that commenter must be mentally ill, u so rite

I haven’t played the demo yet, but based on (leaked?) footage of the opening, the game actually has toned down the terrorist stuff a bit: apparently, AVALANCHE’s bomb in the first reactor only disables it, and Shinra actually detonates the whole reactor as a false-flag thing to turn public opinion away from the group.…

literally nobody gets interested in dark souls because of the lore, nobody playing ds3 before playing ds1 is all like “wow anor londo? i wanna learn more about that place!”

Most of the standard Kirby games are very same-y, which appeals to some people; I loved them when I was a kid, but I haven’t been super compelled by the more recent ones. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror for the GBA was probably the most adventurous of the basic sidescrollers because it had some pseudo-metroidvania…

I don’t feel like any recent kirby game (save for rainbow curse) differentiates itself from the others enough to appeal to “non-fans.” Like, if you didn’t like Robobot, why would you like Triple Deluxe or Star Allies? That’s part of the series’ appeal, I guess, that they’re all very familiar.

You’d think the most popular character in this franchise for children would be one that’s simple to draw, not the one with the fucked-up head shape.

at first i thought that said “get laid, sonic” but then i realized there would never be any images online of something like that

thing is, i was at a gamestop over the weekend and i thought this sort of store was what they should be trying. i’ve never had bad experiences at gamestop, which i guess makes me some kind of freakish outlier, but i thought building a more open marketplace for people to actively recommend and try games together would…

i mean, there are studies about how a sizable percentage of veterans are domestic abusers. and also, nobody who is proud of killing brown people for arms manufacturers deserves respect

i don’t know if it’s invisible man canon (invisible manon) that what he eats is visible through his body, but wouldn’t that make it impossible for his invisibility to work? i mean, it takes more than a day for everything to go through your gastrointestinal tract, so wouldn’t you have to starve yourself so that people…

twitter is good actually

even if he killed them all with his bare hands, he should be given a medal, not executed. more dead cops!

“The Bloomberg campaign recently plastered the Las Vegas strip in billboards mocking Mr. Trump for various of his habits and failings. Among these was one reading ‘Donald Trump eats burnt steak,’ followed by the words ‘Mike Bloomberg likes his medium rare,’” the Independent wrote.

more prominent than half of the people running for the democratic nom this season. i still couldn’t tell you who steyer is, but anyone half-paying attention remembers Marianne, Queen of the Orbs

Yeah, the last thing any of us needs is for Auschwitz of all things to be open to creative interpretations. A human chess scene is questionable enough, and if the Auschwitz Museum doesn’t push back on it, then some other guy could try to put, I dunno, a Death Race in his prestige Holocaust show.

you stupid fucking moron

thought it was physically impossible to have a brain as smooth as yours

The dead (games) speak!

It’s super weird that ROTJ has Obi-Wan not only just toss out the reveal that Luke has a secret twin sister in casual conversation, but also justifies his outright lie re:Luke’s father with “uh, i was speaking in metaphor, bro” over the course of like three minutes.

Man, I miss the monkey emperor. He had such a different voice and affect than McDiarmid, it made him seem super mysterious and cunning. It didn’t help that replacing the emperor with Ian happened during the shooting of the prequels, so he’s in full hammy mode, taking five syllables to say “good.”
