Yes, they ran an ad that said “Google, what is the Whopper Burger?” not weeks after that news report got thousands of Alexas to order dollhouses. The Internet quickly figured out Google was reading the Wikipedia page (which the ad agency themselves had edited to start with some ad copy), and the ad went off the air…

D.va could be interesting with her destructible/constructible mech gimmick - basically, we have a character who can survive a fatal attack but returns in a much worse form (much lighter, deals less damage, perhaps no specials) until she recovers the mech. Final Smash is Nerf This, of course, and a separate meter (or…

Screenshots don't have load times, especially the ones on the back of the box.

That's not really an apt comparison - Smash items are more like X Attacks and Guard Specs, but are distributed randomly rather than brought in.

There is skill in *using* items. The trouble is how they spawn. I wholeheartedly agree that I would be frustrated about bad luck if my opponent won just because a Warpstar spawned right next to them exactly when they needed it, but how different would the story be if we both knew beforehand that that Warpstar was…

I'm leaning towards Sobble, but I need to see the evolutions first.

Tthey’re basically the same game, but each version has Pokemon that can only be caught in that one but not the other one (for instance, Red, but not Blue, contained Ekans and Arbok, while Blue, and not Red, featured Koffing and Weezing). In order to complete your Pokedex in one version, you have to trade with the…

I would assume his coffee habits would be established elsewhere in the movie.

They later clarified that it’s probably only one. The last emulator in the list of emulators which they found was named “Count”, which is far more likely to be a placeholder for the number of emulators there are. (Most computers start counting items in a list from 0, so if the three real emulators are indexes 0, 1,…

I would add Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion to "fun whackiness", especially the last 20 minutes or so.

Also, in tournaments, there’s usually money involved, both in terms of an audience buying tickets and players themselves paying into prize pools, not to mention big names sponsoring events. None of those people feel very happy when someone loses the match to the Yellow Devil or to some lucky item grab instead of their…

As far as online matchmaking goes, might I suggest Anther’s Ladder ( http://www.smashladder.com )? It’s a good service that I’ve used in the past for other Smash titles, and facilitates matchmaking through player distance, type of game desired, etc., and even handles things like stage striking and best-of-3/5 for…

From what I've read, intensive play isn't really required. Cecilia mentioned unlocking characters about every 10 minutes - that's because there is quite literally a 10 minute timer that pops out a new character every time it runs out. And that timer resets when you close the game, meaning that you can unlock all the…

The Tim Tam straw thing is even better with hot chocolate, since it melts in your mouth when you eat it afterwards. You can also do it in a pinch with Thin Mints.

I’ll also throw in that you can play by disconnecting only one JoyCon and holding the Switch in your hand with the other one attached. You can’t combine the two controllers (which I found disappointing for BoTW), but the disconnected JoyCon works fine by itself.

What if it’s the squeaky pickaxe?

It also depends on the college itself. It would be hard to justify that Harvard, Yale, et al. are for everyone, but if you are willing to put in the work to graduate and have the aptitude, a community college or trade school would be worth it for most people.

I’d like to see a basic training arena where you can try out whatever items you want in a small space, with no other players and no RNG.

I remember reading somewhere that the temple “shipping” was either invented or popularized by the Pokemon anime fandom - “Rocketshipping” was the pairing between Jessie and James.

I’ve been quite interested in the idea of Universal Basic Income for a while now - basically, the gist is that everyone, regardless of qualifications or how much money they make (if any at all!), receives a small living wage that can pay for basic expenses, like a room, food, electricity, and perhaps basic Internet.…
