“But the show’s undisputed scene-stealer is lead star Alaqua Cox.”

I don’t even remember what it was, but it was very early in the game and she suddenly kills a bunch of people or something, and I thought “wasn’t this supposed to be platforming and puzzle solving”? Uncharted was a turnoff in the same way, but at least I got to do something before I had to murder hundreds of people.

By the time I got back into video games in the late 90s, Tomb Raider was already a silly joke being satirized in other games, and I never wanted to try it. Then I tried a demo of the reboot, and it seemed just insanely violent, and I had no taste for it. (Same reason I bounced off of Bioshock: Infinite, despite really…

People who reference numbers like 0.01% or 99.99% have not made any effort to do a calculation and hope you won’t either. Really, why not just say 0.00000001% if you’re gonna make something up? It’s smaller!

I don’t know what this is in reference to, and I’m trying to figure out whether to hear it in Ted Danson’s voice or Tim Allen’s.

Screw GBA games, release Banjo Tooie you cowards!

“Women who are super interested in psychopaths” doesn’t exactly narrow the group a lot.

I can think of one guy who will always be safe.

Republicans shut down the government in late 2013, then kept the House and won the Senate in 2014. I don't know what that statement is supposed to mean. As far as I can recall, Republicans have never lost control of either chamber of Congress after a shutdown, even though they've caused every one of them for the past…

That’s fair. At first I thought it was going to be an improvement because the EU before Disney was kind of awful (Luuke), and they seemed like they were going to curate a little better.

I guess we have different definitions. By my understanding, a standalone story would involve completely different characters; anything involving the Mandalorian would necessarily be a sequel, prequel, or side-story. But maybe that’s not how other people think of it. So for me only Rogue One is a standalone Star Wars…

Please post “spoiler alert” next time.

Except they’ve literally done exactly this for every system since 1996, until the Switch. For 20 years until they abruptly stopped. So your “simple” logic has a tiny tiny gap there.

$40 is a terrible price for a 9-year-old game, especially if it only happens for a weekend sale at one retailer. And that “or less” is doing a lot of work there.

I’m not sure how they’re going to do a standalone story after 3-4 seasons of TV with these characters. What does “standalone” even mean in that context?

Shush, they’ll hear you!

There was plenty of spin-off material. Now we have TV shows made more easily, but back then there were comic books from Marvel, books like Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, board games, action figures, etc., and many had their own little back story. I realize you’re only counting movies and TV, but you’re really…

The work Dave Filoni has done in the SW universe is fantastic

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first generation since the Gamecube at least that Nintendo didn’t ever put their games on sale as a Player’s Choice or Nintendo Selects later in the cycle.

It’s already the new “Switch Pro confirmed.” Remember that?
