How is he 20 years old now if he was 16 in 2016?

That haggle system (where you can game your way to real discounts on the price of mini-games) in Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball sounds crazy. Also exactly the kind of thing the EU doesn’t allow in games (hence the regional differences in Badge Arcade, where the rabbit is far more chill in Europe than USA and Japan).
Yep,…

Plot twist, it’s actually Stargate. It fits perfectly! Grap, waist, payets and leaeed.

There’s absolutely no way Sword and Shield is the fourth best Pokemon game. It’s an empty, hollow, ultimately boring experience.

Crypto nonsense aside, this is a sadly prevalent thought. I’ve seen people buy original art pages from comics and illustrated story books thinking that owning the original page also gives them right or reproduction for the artwork (allowing them to sell prints, box canvases etc), never mind that not only would those…

My resolutions are to:
Clear more of my backlog of games (which isn’t as big as it has been, but is still pretty big).
Buy more of the games I’ve been putting off buying because of my backlog. The backlog to my backlog, if you will. Because I’m just never going to get around to them if I don’t actually just buy them…

Yeah, I’m not sure what anyone expected from Mr Mountain Dew.

I had a go on the personal museum thing and I don’t know if it’s because I only had a 360 or because I didn’t use it online that much (and so the date would often reset for achievements and such like) but the stats it presented me seemed a bit broken and pointless.
I have three “rare” achievements apparently, one of…

That’s a pretty hyper-technical claim. There are plenty of countries that have tried and imprisoned their leaders. There’s an entire wikipedia list about:

DC had a character that gained super-powers every time they snorted cocaine, so...

A good list. I would add Kathy Rain - which has a Twin Peaks-y style vibe and some of the creepiest subtle moments I’ve ever encountered in a game - and Unavowed, which is a dark fantasy adventure with some spooky elements.

I’d have said Extraordinary You, a series about a teenage girl discovering that not only is she a character in a romance comic, but she’s not even one of the leads.

This is the same guy that has been the root of all the “Switch Pro” rumours for... what, four years now? I think it’s safe to say he’s talking nonsense and, regardless of whether he’s employed by Bloomberg (or the WSJ before hand) isn’t a reliable source of information.

I don’t think “nobody” would have been acceptable as Mario. I think the problem is the film has gone for celebrity stunt-casting rather than going for actual voice actors (likes Charles Martinet is, but not necessarily him) who are trained to, you know, voice act. I get that’s the nature of the industry now and I’m…

Jack Thompson wasn’t a politician, he was an activist lawyer, and they made an *entire game* to spite him.

Yeah Last Week Tonight has been censored a few times, but it’s not really that we’re not allowed to mock things.
The episode he did about Brexit in the week of the referendum was delayed until after the vote, which I don’t think was ever explained but most people inferred was due to pressure from Sky’s then owners the…

It also doesn’t apply because you can’t libel the dead (in the UK at least).

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…
