That’s why companies have to keep coming up with good news to juice the stock price. How do you think Tesla stock performs? By selling cars?

DK64 was already on the Wii U so it should have been even easier (and it’s still not on Switch). And I can’t imagine any reason Banjo Tooie would be harder than Banjo Kazooie in terms of rights from Microsoft. Maybe it’s a technical issue?

Still waiting for Banjo Tooie. I was pleasantly surprised that Banjo Kazooie showed up on the Switch (if you haven’t played it in a while, the save states make certain parts much less frustrating). But now it’s been almost as long since BK released as the original gap between BK and BT. Getting kind of ridiculous...

It’s insane how many journalists just don’t know how to handle the fact that Twitter is just a Nazi blog with a comment section now.

I would absolutely go for an Ape Escape 4.

I was expecting a glider too but that’s only because of BotW. The end of the tutorial leads you down a long one-way path to an utter dead end where you get a cutscene, and the only thing you can do from there is follow the waterfalls down. You are taught a couple times that you can fall into water from any height…

That is good to know. I hate that there's a different button to run vs. dash in swimming and jump in climbing. I keep mixing them up because my brain thinks "go faster" should always be in the same place.

For over 35 years Zelda games have been coming out spread pretty far apart, and each one treats the player like they’ve never played one before. More than most games in a series, the Zelda games all seem designed to be played independently. So I would have no hesitation suggesting someone try this one first, if it’s…

There really wasn’t much of a tutorial on cooking in BotW either as I recall. You are meant to fumble around on some of these things.

What a deeply stupid and lazy comment.

I was happy to get it for $50 using only the voucher technique, but that sounds even better.

Not enough people who like Jack Black appreciate his first movie: Bob Roberts (with Tim Robbins, Gore Vidal, Giancarlo Esposito, and Alan Rickman). It felt pretty silly in 1992 but very prescient looking back on it.

Point taken, I didn’t remember that, but that would definitely make it lazy mockery. Oh well.

There are lots of games that get perfect scores which I intensely dislike, mostly because of the genre. Not everyone likes open world games, and if you don’t, it doesn’t sound like this will be up your alley.

Oh my God you’re right! I got distracted somehow, but you can see a right red Joycon in her hands if you’re looking for it.

This has been Republican strategy for a long time. In Colorado they passed a referendum called TABOR (taxpayers’ bill of rights) which had a bunch of unrelated things in it, then immediately passed a bill saying no referendum could have more than one thing in it. This made it impossible to repeal TABOR when it…

The cross dressing in BOTW didn’t strike me as mockery. Maybe I missed some subtext. Link’s perfectly cool with it and the other characters think he looks good as a woman, IIRC.

Isn’t there some rule that butts rank higher than nipples in terms of what you can show on TV? It’s weird but I remember this coming up when they first started showing naked butts on cop shows. 

2022

Starting to think this game may actually release (but it’s Nintendo so I don’t want to get my hopes up).
