I’m glad I never paid in. The initial idea was great, but holy hell did it bloat up quick and turn into nothing. Now it’s got a million promised features but no substance. It’d be like going to a car dealership and the salesman says
Homer Simpson's Combover

Already assumed Metal Gear would be a no go, but where’s the Gradius collection?
Washingtonian here, had my FR-S for 5 years now and have refused to put a front plate on it. I don't even have the mounting stuff for it. No one has ever raised an eyebrow at it. Unenforced law is no biggie and the front plate is in the trunk if I ever need to explain that "I've got the mounting kit on order from the…
Young guys that can’t be bothered to get a a driver’s license telling me all about my car when they have precisely ZERO wheel time on a real road or track. I knew when I got my FR-S that I was going hear about it some. What I didn’t know is that every 19-25 year old sailor that works for me, but doesn’t own a car or a…
I’m waiting on the physical version of Axiom Verge early next month for Switch. I have it in Indie Box physical form and downloaded it on my Vita long ago, but I want the cartridge too. I don’t normally buy a game more than once, so Thomas Happ really struck a damn nerve with me by way of his game. It doesn’t surprise…
They’d be a successful developer/publisher, no doubt. Thing is, outside of the WiiU and Virtual Boy being flops, when has Nintendo not made money? They have coffers to keep them afloat through something like the WiiU failing because they’ve been turning a profit on every machine and licensing fee charged since the…
I can’t speak to the WiiU, but I’ve been playing the Switch version since launch day. It’s not perfect, but it’s not some blighted broken homologation of spotty code either. I’ll forgive any company for further optimizing a title here or there, but I’ve never bought a Nintendo game that’s fundamentally broken and has…
Nintendo is doing what it’s always done and building a system that they make money on with each sale. Instead of taking a loss like Sony and Microsoft do on their machines. They also do a pretty damn good job of optimizing their games for their hardware better than the competition. If we want console makers to get out…
Washington State requires the front plate, but of course I bought my car in Georgia a few years back. I refused to pay Toyota to ruin the front of my 86 and just ran for 3 years without the plate. Never so much as had it mentioned. I just keep the plate in the car just in case and I can say “Officer, I was just on my…
There are places in this world where the speed chime is very much alive and well. I spent the last 2 years in Bahrain with the Navy and every rental car I ever had had one that kicked on at 100 kph. It was annoying as all Hell given that everyone there is driving 120 mph minimum on the highways. A couple of card would…
There’s certain things in this world that are obvious trolling, but similarly demand response because of the inherent anger they inspire in people. Your prior statement about Trek 09 was one of those. Rather than rant and rave I’ll simply offer that I dislike you quite a bit right now, and will likely take anything…

One day someone is going t9 have to explain to me how EA continues to take massive amounts of shit while Activision borders on being immune to criticism for pulling even more shit. I dont want to play defend the corporation, but come on. Remaster doesn’t include the DLC, they charge more for the DLC now than they did…
Good read, but the government clearly doesn’t know that their rules don’t matter in Virginia because no one here knows how to use a turn signal unless they’re from another state.
There’s a generational thing. I’m only 30, but since I got my license at 16 I’ve had a lot of people ask why I want small 2 doors. I actually drive an FR-S right now and it’s done a cross country haul, it handles my grocery runs, and when I have a lady or a friend to sit in the passenger seat they’re good to go. I…
I agree on the weapon breaking mechanic, it needs patched and fixed or outright removed. That said, I’ve played a bunch of the older Zeldas for years trying to get into them. It’s always felt like gaming homework, not like an adventure. I bought BotW hoping it would be worth it. Minor frustrations aside, I…
I haven’t had any issues yet. A buddy told me he nicked his screen the other day, so I ran out and got a screen protector, but other than that the machine has been a dream. I tried to get the joy-cons to de-sync and couldn’t get either one to do it. Hell, I even took it to the lounge in my barracks and tested the…
It’s not going to happen. Think about it, they got out of the graphics pissing contest years ago. Every one of their systems from the Wii on has been built using existing system architecture that in terms of manufacturing would be, relatively speaking, “cheap”. Even if the Tegra inside the Switch is customized for…
I tend to think it’s bullshit just like you do Hamilton, lord knows I’ve taken plenty of gouges to the wallet the last few years as the military has flown me all over hell’s half acre. I’m not huge on regulation, to put it plainly, but one of your other examples, namely movie theaters, is a bad one. Concession prices…
It gets better than the EPA estimates suggest. On my cross country hauls I was routinely over 30 with the car loaded to capacity and causing 80-100 a fair bit of the way.
