I haven't touched a racing game in a while. I'm liking the driving-seat view for these games. I've only ever had games where the options are - you're outside the car, or you're sitting on the bonnet, or you're sitting on the front grille. So I always choose outside the car, because increased visibility is good.

I think the giant eyebrows and sideburns are making me think 1970s. This is the pilot of Great Mazinger.

Wow, that's some old style artwork. It's a lot like 1970s space-era anime / manga. I'm thinking Go Nagai - Mazinger, Grendizer etc.

This is something I'd more expect in a Fable game, tbh...

It had a pretty decent build quality though, and could also easily rotate 90-degrees in case you wanted a vertical monitor for a secondary display (or you have a SHMUP fetish).

Oh! Oh! Oh! That's even better! Defective amiibo is where the money's at.

Well, kids who want cool things but don't have the money grow up into adults who still want cool things but *do* have the money. :)

Velduanga — I would kill for a new Ehrgeiz, actually.

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to pre-order a Dedede. Everywhere I look it's listed as "sold out" even though it's not out until next year. (I'm in the UK though - so, probably different supply chain to you)

Ah, I think I remember doing a side mission to beat up this guy and take his clothes, in Akiba's Trip. XD

I dunno, it's not my joke, but I don't think it's supposed to be anything more complicated than

I think it's supposed to be making fun of all the *very serious* people who, when ordinary people start talking about Gamergate and go "oh it's terrible, all this online harassment needs to stop!" will politely and calmly tell you that this is not what Gamergate is about, that's what the media wants you to think it's…

This totally looks like it should be gameplay from a Keita Takahashi game.

To be fair, they have deliberately chosen in-game footage with a slow ship, not show you any pretty cosmic scenery, or any combat, for the sake of comedy. :)

I'm British and I just think.... yeah, whatever, let them do what they want - Victorians were rubbish, they need no celebration. They broke the world in a bunch of terrible ways, and we still haven't recovered properly. We need to throw away a lot of the culture we're still hanging on to since then, because it just…

This sounds no worse than your average episode of Dr Who set in Victorian Britain.

*dies of smog inhalation*

That's the one! Yes!

Haha, remember that film where Bruce Lee had died after only filming a little bit so they filmed the rest with a stand-in wearing really huge glasses so you wouldn't know it was a stand-in? He looks just like that! =D
