I’m going to insist that we learn more about Ham Sandwich the Madman.

Yeah. I doubt that there are any serious implications of this, it just feels strange to see Nintendo not go with a traditional cross-shaped D-Pad.

I almost feel bad for them. Nintendo unleashed the hype train in a way that only they can, while Rockstar released what amounts to an announcement trailer for something they already announced.

I say “almost” because the uninteresting trailer is still on them regardless of whatever Nintendo does. But the fact they…

Just noticed that the D-Pad, well, isn’t. It’s just buttons now. I wonder if they’ll still be set up so that you can’t press opposite directions at once?

I saw someone on Twitter say that some of the tentacle-hair styles they showed weren’t available on the WiiU, suggesting that this is Splatoon 2 and not just a port. Given the original’s reliance on the WiiU Game Pad for the map and quickjumping, I imagine that they wouldn’t release it exactly as-is for the NX either…

Do you remember when the DS originally came out? Nintendo advertised it as a third leg, separate from the Game Boy line. As it became clear that the DS was a success, the Game Boy was quietly phased out.

They’ll likely do the same thing here. Keep the 3DS alive while they test the Switch as a potential…

I’ve been hoping for Popplio to turn out Water/Fairy since it was revealed. Given the way it turns out, I’d say that’s pretty likely.

But at least he didn’t steal forty cakes. That would have been as many as four tens. And that’s terrible.

I genuinely hope that this is the only thing different about Alola Dugtrio. No updated stats, no new typing. Just fabulous hair.

“R3ad D3ad” is spelled with a single, shared 3 though. So it just looks like “R ad D ad 3" at first glance.

This Rattata has actually been a common trick for a while, actually. Although most people don’t use it in-game outside of battle facilities, precisely because it becomes less useful as the Rattata levels. That being said, it also has a number of weaknesses, so anyone familiar with it will usually be able to take care…

Meanwhile, the people who played Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town are all wondering what the big deal is.

There’s a pervasive attitude in our culture that people are simply smart or dumb, and this is constant throughout their daily interactions. In reality, no one sounds dumber than a smart person outside their area of expertise. Neil deGrasse Tyson is brilliant, but biology is outside his scope- I remember a while ago he…

Actual animal fact: gorilla penises are hilariously small. Average size is about 1.25 inches erect. No way should you be able to see Little Harambe at that resolution.

I remember a lot of people suspecting this when it happened. Good to hear that it’s finally coming to light.

Watching this trailer makes me think more than ever that Kingsglaive was a good idea. I liked having a little extra context for the scenes we saw in that trailer. And I wonder if Sean Bean will be doing the voice for Regis again in the (presumably flashback) scenes we just saw.

Maybe because most of what they show I already knew about ahead of time.

Clearly Rainbow Dash has an Android phone and feels very strongly about it.

Should I point out that the Pikachu in the article is male (flat tip on tail), or is that even relevant at this point?
