It depends on the person... for some people, the fact that someone refuses to acknowledge an accusation is an even more obvious way of admitting that it’s “true”. Personally, I find it easiest to believe someone if they acknowledge a rumor and don’t make a big deal about it.

There definitely was a sense in some gamers at the time that it didn’t “break the mold” like they were hoping. With the first three Mario games (as they were released in America) each one felt amazingly fresh and new. Super Mario World, meanwhile, had mostly the same elements as Mario 3, but just stepped up in…

Bought this book a few months back; loved it. Although now I’m actually really excited for the film adaptation that’s in the works. What’s with Seth Rogen and producing quirky docu-drama films based on novels? He’s working on this, and also on that novel about the making of The Room.

Some of the anime fighters had pretty robust story modes in the past, but they were mostly presented in “Visual Novel” style, which isn’t quite as impressive. The Soul Calibur series got close to having a good story mode, but never quite on MK9's level...

It depends on how many seat fillers they manage to hire before the event. Trump likely has a few hundred people he can call on just to fill seats, so unless you can arrange for a really large group to gather tickets then abandon their seats, it likely won’t make much of a visual difference. Although if they are forced…

I had read somewhere that they actually did a different take on that scene where they tried to play it off more naturally and subtly... focused less on how “amazing” cup noodles are and instead emphasizing them as a comfort food. But the VA team also did a take where they went over the top trying to sound like a bad…

Since the games won’t be region locked, does that mean someone has to necessarily get their copy of the actual system in their country (and just adjust the language settings), or will there be actual differences in the hardware between regions?

It might have been a Prime-first thing. Amazon has a habit of doing that to encourage people to subscribe.

I know that a lot of people are planning to go to the inauguration to protest, or whatever. And I get that. But what I would really love to see, even though I know it’s impossible, was for just no one to show up. I think Trump would hate that more than anything... he’s there for his big victory and there’s no crowd to…

I’m hoping that, if they’re dropping Miiverse for Switch, it’s because they’re funneling the resources that it took up toward their revamped online services. I do wonder what they have planned... for now they really only have one game on the docket that really requires a steady online connection with Splatoon 2.…

I’m kind of surprised that Skyrim isn’t launching until Fall. I wonder if that’s a technical problem with them porting the game to the new system, or if it’s a business decision to make sure that there’s at least one strong game releasing in Fall for the Switch.

I’ve got a 3DSXL and it fits comfortably in my pocket.

That reminds me of a CNN article I saw the other day which linked to some statistics about Trump’s debt (at least, what debt he has that’s public knowledge). Apparently he used to borrow extensively from Wall Street banks, but they eventually stopped giving him new loans because he was just so irresponsible with the…

I imagine that, if 1-2 Switch was a pack-in game then it would actually stand a chance of becoming a decent party game that could get other people interested in the Switch. But as a stand-alone game I seriously doubt they’re going to sell enough copies to justify the cost of actually publishing the damn thing.

I think it’s basically a cost-saving measure intended to let you still access online features on the go.

I’m hoping for Zelda at launch, but if the rumors are true and it’s not going to make it for the launch, I hope that when it does come out they release a Zelda-themed Switch. I’ve only owned Zelda 3DS’s and I’d like to continue that tradition lol

That’s a way better name than Star... I’m surprised that’s not the theoretical name that’s going around.

I don’t really get this logic. All of these critiques apply just as strongly to Trump than to Clinton... some even more so. There’s this criticism of Clinton as a Wall-Street servant, but we had no reason to think that Trump wouldn’t have that same problem. He’s gone a step further, and has included actual Goldman…

I was thinking that too. And how long can one person play videogames literally as their profession and still remain clueless? So the premise could probably hold water for... a year, maybe? Maybe two? Then the host would, at that point, logically be fairly familiar with videogames, at least enough that they’d have to…

Here’s the thing about the wall... the number of illegal immigrants that enter America by just walking through the wilderness is such a small percentage that it doesn’t even justify the cost of installing flimsy fencing along the border. Most illegal immigrants enter the country legally to work as cheap labor for…
