As a fan of bullet hell, run and gun, shmup games, Metal Slug is near and dear to my heart. Keeping in mind that I am terrible at bullet hell, run and gun, shmup games—I just think there’s something about how they feel so “puzzle-y” that keeps me playing them.

prepare for this comment to be scrubbed.  I heard they are doing that these days. 

These Stick to Sports Resistance Articles are amazing. Would love to know how the morning meetings are going today. I imagine it’s with some guy from management saying, “YOU THINK YOU ARE SO FUNNY DON’T YOU? FAT, DUMB, AND STUPID IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE.”

It’s been a while since I watched the movie, but didn’t Alex have some type of Fear-Response assessment done? It may be a false memory (and I know I could google it), but it seems like there was a scene where it was noted that his brain isn’t triggered by potential fear-based things.

I wanted to play MLP the CCG with my daughter. The rule book was confusing as hell and for the life of me I couldn’t even figure out how to cast cards (I eventually did, but at that point I realized this is NOT a game for a 7 year old).

If he played MtG, my hunch is he would run Red-Blue.

Why don’t you have more stars for this?

Not sure if it ever got covered by Kotaku, but The Race for the Iron Throne kickstarter is probably the most egregious.

Hey now, whatever did Dirty Walmart Bags to do you? 

Koljeka is the answer to better satire. It’s a game about queuing in different lines.

Clearly he was talking about making bread and spelled that wrong.

my head hurts...okay, I think I got it. It takes 11 Earth Days to circle it’s sun, but it takes 22 earth days to make one revolution. The planet is basically a Phil Niekro knuckleball.

This is the one in my office.  Nerd Flag proud flying these days.

I think she’d probably lose points for a three point stance superhero landing.  She could do it if she wanted--it would actually be easier than what she normally does.

Oh, I agree. But the folks at http://nisei.net/ are doing an awesome job with it right now. Would actually be a kinda cool story for Kotaku to cover (how a game that got killed refused to die...and it might actually have more infrastructure and people working on it then before)

Beat Saber is amazing!

Card game player here! I’m jamming games on MTG Arena and playing Netrunner on jinteki.net

Been playing mario for years. Never once have I thought about jumping on turtles and then hurling the turtle carcass at a mushroom.
