In its Gigantamax form, Gengar’s mouth is a tunnel that leads to the afterlife. People can even hear their loved ones calling from within to tempt them to step into the void.

My biggest gaming disappointment this year was Super Mario 3D All Stars. Not only was it a half-assed cash grab, but the limited availability during a pandemic was really bad form. Sure, make the physical version a limited edition item if you want, but placing a deadline on the digital version? Why? 

A lot of Pokémon appearances just don’t match up size-wise to what’s listed in the Pokédex. The anime does this a lot, the episode with Haunter and pals in the haunted tower (one of my favorite episodes) shows him much smaller. He’s huge in Let’s Go but definitely doesn’t appear that large in Sword and Shield. 

Oh, sorry! I responded to the wrong comment.

The only reason I opted for the PS5 with the disc drive was that physical media seem to go on sale far more frequently than digital lately. For example, a few months back I bough DBZ: Kakarot and RE3 for PS4 for $15 each from Best Buy while they were still $60 on the PS Store. And I’ve been able to purchase physical…

Blaseball sounded like something that would absolutely be up my alley. And I did enjoy it for a bit but it did start to feel like work to keep up with.

I was playing on a PS4 Pro and now a PS5 and the game consistently crashes after an hour or so of play. And that’s not an issue with any other game, so it’s not the system. And when it’s not crashing I’m having to frequently restart because some element needed to progress a mission fails to load or can’t be interacted…

I’m happy to find another person who appreciates Delibird! Always been a favorite of mine too. I just wish it was a little more useful.

I remember these playing at Fry’s Electronics when I was a kid and I was absolutely mesmerized by them. I even remember getting a Mind’s Eye DVD for free from there for some reason and taking it home and watching these really trippy graphics demos. I was a strange (or easily entertained) child.

I’m glad I’m not the only one confused by this! I think a dildo was the first lootable item I found. I thought that was a weird choice for a first item to give the player, but shrugged and moved on. Then the dildos just kept coming...

I’ll always have fond memories of Frappe Snowland from Mario Kart 64. Not the best track, but I played it so much as a kid because I just love snow levels. I think it has something to do with living in an area where it never snows and is oppressively hot for half the year.

I remember one moon in particular, one of the koopa races, that requires joycons as the maneuver you have to do in order to finish first requires motion controls that can’t be done with a Pro controller.

If this opened and came in a Master Ball variant, I’d be sold.

I adored BoTW, but the rain was a terrible decision. It just arbitrarily blocks you from reaching certain areas for a while. I figured eventually there would be a way around it, like a new skill or upgrading the climbing gear, but no. You just have to either wait or leave and that’s just bad design.

I’ve wondered about this too He’s still available in every game but no anime appearances, merchandise, or cards. I never found a good answer anywhere. 

I enjoyed the demo, but I remember thinking that if the full game didn’t have more variety it could get dull fast. I was really hoping to learn more about each Champion so I’m sad to hear that doesn’t happen. I wanted a whole Lady Urbosa spinoff after playing BotW. I mean, that snap!

This doesn’t affect me, so it must be fake!

I agree that Super Training was terrible, but hoard battles were great for EV training! Instead of fighting Pokémon one at a time for EVs you could fight multiple in the same encounter. It sped things up compared to the usual method and was at least more engaging than Super Training.

I wish I had kept my copy of Soul Silver. A used copy now is more expensive than most new AAA releases!
