Metroid Dread NOT a showstopper? I think we exist in different realities. Pretty much everyone went nuts at its reveal. 15 years of rumours, 19 years after Metroid 4. The shortest of YouTube searches will tell the tale. Yes, this was strong of Sony (and my dusty PS5 is looking for a disc to penetrate its drive), but…

Amen! I was at E3 when they unveiled the Twilight Princess trailer in ‘05, heard that score and went bananas. I thought, Wow, they get how epic Zelda is supposed to be! This is fantastic. Fast forward to the game’s release, and that soundtrack remains one of my biggest disappointments. Some fantastic compositions…

See, I’m 100% the opposite. R&C, Returnal, Spider-Man, Souls, etc... If I can get a physical copy, I’m absolutely getting one. Granted, I’m also a retro Gamer at heart and still have a huge collection of my older systems (2600 and later) hooked up and ready to go. But that’s kind of the point. I’ve watched games come…

That’s the eternal question, isn’t it? It’s gone on for an incredibly long time. From Wagner’s antisemitism (I recommend watching the documentary Wagner and Me starring Stephen Fry), to Michael Jackson, to J.K. Rowling, and now Kelly, people who’ve done really crappy things but made really important art, can the two…

300 grams is quite a weight reduction. For my southern neighbours who don't know, that's two-thirds of a pound, which is substantially less. This isn't a small shave here, so I wonder what they did for that reduction. We need a teardown! 

Lol no concern trolling here. Too old for that crap. No, I see a snake. I call him a snake. I called him out for being a snake with snake behaviour, talking out of both sides of his mouth. If lawyers didn't act like this, we wouldn't be able to have people exploited like this. It's really simple. Stop being a snake.…

Reading over your response, you’re a snake. If you know you’re doing something that predatory and immoral, then you’re just... bad people. Glad you figured out a way to sleep at night, because you ARE the problem here. Contracts like this, exploitations like this wouldn’t happen WITHOUT YOU.

Hi Renata! Wishing you the best of luck. Ignore 90% of Kinja, and don’t let your corporate overlords destroy your love of the game and work.

“Stop putting your things in my mouth!”

No, I get that. I'm just saying that speedrunning is not just solid playing, but a deep understanding of the mechanics. Sometimes that results in glitch exploitation, which I was using as an example. To understand how to manipulate the turret meant understanding the inner workings of the game. I'm impressed by the…

See, THIS right here is why I adore speedrunning. People who complain about how glitchy or gimmicky it can be completely miss the point of how difficult some of the tricks are to perform, or the depth of knowledge of a game required to devise and implement a strat. This is utterly fantastic, and I can't wait to see…

22 years together, two kids later, still playing Gears co-op on insane together and she’s more beautiful than ever! (me, on the other hand...)

Charles Martinet should absolutely be the voice of Mario. Full stop. I’ll tell you why.

Umm, wouldn’t that start with himself? Being the one in charge, and actively ignoring all the screams for all these years while pocketing millions of dollars he did nothing to earn? Just a thought.

I love you, Patricia, but there’s some serious word salad here. Saying “...it is extremely likely that we’re not going to cease coverage of news items that inform you about issues and the like” isn’t addressing the question. We don’t doubt for a moment you’ll stop covering this issue (and you deserve a goddamn…

Yeah, no. I don’t trust’s Valve’s hardware division. At. All. They have a track record on par with Google’s messaging and social media app division.

This reeks of money laundering. That's the only explanation I have here. 

I had to type that out in Notepad before I saw it. Wow, good spotting!
