Couldn’t you have used a picture of a real NES for the lede image for an article about the importance of the original NES?

Wowza.

That’s a lot worse than a friend and I thinking we saw carpenter ants crawling into the Wolverine Wildcat at Michigan Adventure when I was a kid.

This late in the game, I can’t even be sure I didn’t make that memory up. 

Idk if a human could pull this off by themselves, it doesn’t look like there’s mushroom for error.

“you know what you’re signing up for the second you put Yoshi in the Blue Falcon”

I don’t think it needed two full seasons, maybe 12 episodes instead of 9 to flesh out a bit more of their journey

Cannibalism is trendy?

if you were hoping someone would get slapped, you should probably just watch The Last Of Us.

Feels like a pretty cynical way to look at things and a pretty big reach. I mean it’s obvious to anyone that “The Turning” is not just a random fighting game and very specifically meant to be alternate Mortal Kombat of some variety. So of course they would use it for real if they had the chance.

Mortal Kombat’s huge impact is far more likely to ignite some sort of emotional response from TV viewers than a fake game that is mentioned a couple times on a videogame they probably didn’t play.

I’m not saying there’s never a time to clear your cache, but the entire design purpose of a cache is to speed things up. Clearing it will normally (by design) cause some additional slowness as the cache is rebuilt.

Yep and Obamacare isn’t actually called Obamacare but I seem to be the only person in the world who calls it The ACA.

Get fucked

But we’ve already made Oryx and Xol into guns.  That’s where the meme came from.

Now, in the new Witch Queen expansion, Bungie leans into the jokes and lets folks literally turn one of the franchise’s most important enemies into a wickedly powerful grenade launcher.

Thats actually the third time, I believe. The touch of Malice was made from the spirit of Orix and the Whisper of the Worm contains a worm god we killed at the end of one of the campaigns.

It’s a cult classic which was ways ahead in terms of style and content from other games of its era - in particular, the way it played with the fourth wall was fucking outstanding not just for the ‘90s but honestly much of the ‘00s. It really informed a lot of games, particularly in the Western indie scene, as without…

Earthbound was a game that I intentionally avoided because of the advertising. That was criminal. But they had actual scented magazine advertisements that smelled like garbage. On purpose.

“Back in 1999 on the Nintendo 64, if we wanted to share Pokémon Snap photos we had to invited people over (gross) or have our cartridges stolen by ex-girlfriends (true story).”

Crazy idea: how about you pay for a fucking game and get everything in it without having to win the lootbox lottery or having to devote a 40 hour work week to grinding? Fuck this noise.
