It’s probably a cost vs. profit thing. It probably costs a ton to make full 3D remakes of classic games and doesn’t pay out particularly well, especially compared to doing slapshod iOS ports or just re-releasing the original game online. It’s basically the same reason we’re barely seeing any movie tie-in games…

I’m actually curious now to see how he does with a new show runner, since I felt like Capaldi never really “clicked” for me as The Doctor. With each new Doctor I tend to go through about 3 or 4 episodes rejecting them in my head until they say or do something that really makes them feel fresh and new. But Capaldi…

I’m willing to bet that the movie will start with this first-person scene of Spidey and Happy, then the opening credits will play over images from Civil War, then the story will skip ahead to some time after with either Spidey doing Spidey things, or Peter at school being super bored.

I think the video is likely him communicating with Tony... so I doubt it’s a case of “Spidey taking pictures of himself like an idiot” and more “Spidey talking to Iron Man with a video phone”. Notice that he’s still wearing his janky, self-made costume in the video with his mask off.

Hell, we still haven’t gotten a proper remaster of 6. After seeing all the classic FFs redone for the DS I was pretty pumped for them to get to 6... but they pulled the breaks on that and just released the awful-looking IOS version.

Chapter 13 was definitely a big fat turd sandwich compared to the rest of the game, so I’m not surprised that they’re planning to alter it. Honestly, they could re-cut it so you only go through one hallway with just the ring and it would be fine... a sequence just long enough to make you really appreciate the…

Yes, thank you. If the Electoral College is the specific reason that someone as wildly, dangerously unqualified to be President as Donald Trump gets into office, then at that point there is no reason to have an Electoral College. It was created very specifically to prevent this exact problem. Ironically, it was…

I think a lot of it stems, honestly, from the fact that the most dedicated lower-class conservatives are also deeply religious. And especially with Republicans making so blatant their religious views, people like Racist Grandma attach to the GOP and treat the beliefs they espouse with the same devotion that they treat…

Ultimately, however, this is exactly what the Electoral College was designed to do (I mean, aside from prevent Northern States from making slavery illegal in the early elections)... prevent a popular, but completely unqualified person from becoming President. If we’re still using the highly un-democratic Electoral…

I stopped watching during season 3, and I’m shocked the flashbacks actually lasted this long. The island narrative was getting so convoluted and stupid that I assumed they’d be over it long before then. They honestly could have finished with the island stuff in the first season and had a solid story.

The article actually mentions that the Dev Kit can’t play retail games.

I remember a comedian once joking about it... basically the main joke was “women have all the power, because they have all the vaginas”. There’s definitely a perception among some guys that women can get anything they want, because they can give and/or withhold sex, and supposedly men are powerless against that.

It’s one of those things where the phrase is used by a decent number of normal people just dealing with something they find stressful, but there’s a small, vocal section of that group who is extremely hateful and dangerous. It’s sort of like how not everyone who identifies as a “Gamergater” was a dangerous misogynist…

Pokemon hasn’t really used the classic “asshole rival” since Gold and Silver.

I already had a 55-inch TV from Fry’s I bought at their Labor Day sale for around $350, so there wasn’t much to get my interest on Black Friday itself. The only thing I ended up getting was a Galaxy 3DS for my wife, and it wasn’t even really on sale, it’s just the particular version she wanted.

It’s one of those things where most news sources will interrupt broadcasts and everything out of respect for Castro’s legacy, but it’s not something that’s going to be brought up a lot. You’re not likely to get many people saying “Oh my god, I can’t believe it!” and debating how it happened or if it was staged or…

Depends on the item. When I was working there still I think they called it “guaranteed in-stock”, which was for one of the middling items... a good deal, but not something super impressive. I think that year was a 40" TV at a good price and if the store ran out of their stock they distributed vouchers. But the main…

We always had at least one person leave during their break and not come back on Black Friday. Lol some people just couldn’t handle it, and nobody ever blamed them.

Doorbusters are the worst. it’s a deal that maybe 10 people can take advantage of. I worked at Wal Mart and was put in charge of distributing a poorly advertised doorbuster where people didn’t realize we only had 10 in the store and I had to spend pretty much my whole night dealing with angry people who felt they were…
