While these game guides were always going to have IP issues with Nintendo being notoriously strict about protecting their assets, each book is a lavish work of art, created after painstaking hours of work.

I feel like we’re going to get it quicker if only more people would storm German TV shows. It’s clearly want Rockstar wants of us!

Heritage Auctions do a lot of comic art sales and I’ve seen dealers and sellers openly admit to shill bidding* (having a friend of proxy bid in order to raise the price of a lot) with Heritage’s co-operation as though it’s perfectly acceptable. I can’t see why they’d be any less open to dodgy activity for video game…

... You are aware food is seasonal, right?

Ha! It’s mad you think this is why British TV goes all in for Christmas. We have a state religion, but our country is, in practice, far more secular than the US, which always bangs on about separating church and state.

The reason why Christmas is so important to British TV is nostalgia. Our entire cultural view of…

So hang on, it’s bad that Burbank didn’t instantly release all his new times because it didn’t give other people a chance to beat them (even though they could have still beaten them while trying to beat his existing WR times - and if they weren’t already able to beat those they wouldn’t be touching his new ones) but…

Plus, how the hell did she clean up that pool using only an axe?

I would definitely read a story with those young skaters.

Interesting definition of “early 2000s” that includes everything up to the mid-2010s.

Sounds like there’s a lot this game is living and dying by.

Yeah, the second of Nintendo’s statements does seem to be twisting the knife in Bloomberg slightly for all the absolute nonsense they’ve been spewing the past couple of years, which Nintendo has had to put up (their every tweet being replied to with “announce Switch Pro!” etc).

It’s pretty easy to imagine someone else voicing T’Challa, given people have before Boseman played him and that literally none of the characters in the game are voiced by their MCU actors.

“For all time. Always” is an oblique reference to which iteration of Kang this is: Immortus (without having to use that slightly clunky name in dialogue).

It’s interesting to see the video game community start to get hit with the same plastic-sealed grading nonsense that has plagued the action figure and comic collecting community for decades. These rating services are so fallible and subjective that it’s ridiculous how much weight is put on their verdicts. I’ve heard…

I wonder if this means Disney can go back and put in the lines Josh Keaton recorded for Spider-Man in Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes that they dumped and replaced with Drake Bell? Because that was a poor choice at the time and looking even worse now.

If Marvel really wanted to test themselves, they’d do a Rawhide Kid movie. Not just an historical Western (with no superhero elements), but one with a gay lead.

Agreed. I’m fine with the level of integration as it is now. Small things like Ghost Rider doing the same portal magic as Dr Strange is all I need, frankly.

This weekend I shall be continuing with Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin on the DS. It’s pretty standard post-SotN Castlevania for the most part, but its title gimmick is a series of paintings that act as portals to other areas - so far a European village and an Egyptian pyramid - which is a nice way of adding in some…

I agree with all that. I loved the show, I’m hankering to rewatch it after reading this article even, but I’m not too fussed about a movie.
