Yes, but the Wii showed where Nintendo truly struggled: third party games. While the system sold extremely well, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find many ‘gamers’ who remember it fondly. Everyone ‘had to have it’ but nobody ever really played it. The bad taste of the Wii was only further exasperated by the…

Plus they tend not to play the Hardware loss game. When hardware is sold, money is made.

The WiiU was really an anomaly- the first time they actually lost money on a console. The Gamecube was profitable, as was the N64, and they apparently somehow even managed to come out in the black on the Virtual Boy. That and the 3DS also losing money was pretty worrying then, but with the Switch’s rapid success it…

yeah, chicken, rabbit, duck and snail

crazy to think that someday we will all crawl into that huge pink mouth and huddle behind the shattered and tilted peaks of his teeth along the rolling wet hills of his McDonald’s-impacted gum line as he leaps, naked, out into space on a trajectory set for Earth 2, a quivering savior hurtling spread eagle through the…

It’s Lovecraft’s The Colour Out of Space.

Pretty much every portion of Darkest Dungeon has a heavy Lovecraftian hook in it. This will be less sci-fi than it will be a continuation of Lovecraft’s use of “a horror from beyond the stars.”

Remember, even High Priest Cthulhu (who is not a god, damn it all; he’s just a priest…

Those first few images:

And people wonder why the Switch was understocked. lol It’s not a conspiracy.

The absurdity of mood jeans, the fact that they don’t detect emotions like anger but instead detect revulsion at jokers, and the fact that it’s all a transparent ploy to cover up that he pissed himself.

I think with the games industry it’s not so much the demand to work this hard, but the demand to work this hard for absolutely no extra compensation whatsoever.

The problem with this game is that, while it seems to want to examine what different people would consider to be or not to be a soup, its setting contaminates the results. I say this because, when I played it, I was more concerned with providing the humans with soups that they could actually eat than I was with…

Murderface? Is that EVO for “Nerdddddddddd!!!!!”? Asking for a friend.

Oh jeez, you genuinely just tried to “Webster defines...” your way out of the situation. Wow. You’re like a gamer stereotype unicorn!

There are definitely factions, or at the very least some Thargoids simply act dramatically different. Some attack without provocation, some attack if you get too close, some attack if you’re carrying certain items... And some just don’t give half a fuck. [Warning: more than a little objectionable language during the…

“Poor Bender, you’re seeing things. You’ve been drinking too much, or too little, I forget how it works with you. Anyway, you haven’t drunk exactly the right amount.”

You know, I’ve seen many hardcore mmo players complain about casuals getting catered to more, but as the fanbase continues to age I don’t think there’s any avoiding it. My understanding is that the bulk of gamers are adults now, and most adults are in the same situation as Keza and Patrick.

I wish there could be some realistic middle ground that accepts they fuck up regularly yet still lauds and enjoys their products. No it has to be polarizing and contentious.

Bad Religion at 8??? 8?!?!?!?!! Wut. Should be top 3 easy.
