Side missions are generally optional. When you say it forces you to take them, is it because you need to level up your team for the main storyline, and not doing so makes it far more difficult? Or it actually makes you do them, which isn’t really my definition of a side mission. Just forced filler then? I downloaded…

No offense to this game, which looks neat, but the true successor to Advance Wars is the magnificent War Groove, which I’m guessing Luke hasn’t played (shame!). It is an absolute must play for any AW fan, hell any strategy fan. It is an unabashed homage to AW right down to the gorgeous and colorful characters, though…

It seems like you’re implying Nintendo might do this with their own franchises, but I don’t see why that would be the case. They only need to build their games to a single spec: The Nintendo Switch. It makes sense they would still just keep building native games for their own platform.

Those are disc resurfacers. And somewhere else close by was machines for resealing discs. Meaning: I can’t trust “new” items on eBay anymore. :(

This is what Sirrus and Achenar get up to after they trap you in a book.

Did anyone else find the Gamecube?

Maybe the true bathtub is the friends we made along the way.

try redzone my dude

Honestly, the eating animation, of just shoving food into face ranks pretty high on what I associate Minecraft with (even if that particular kinda move has been done before and since).

Just because you think football is only played between the whistles doesn’t make it true.

Come on, Nintendo. Announce Picross 3D Round 3 for the Switch. Do it. Do it now.

what does it say about the state of this industry that our thoughts immediately spiral to ‘oh god what geneva convention is being violated today’ vs ‘oh shit that’s a little creepy’

More like Louis B.L.O.C.K.

I’ve been playing video games since I was a wee little child (this was the mid-90's). This year is the first time I haven’t bothered finding all the pre-release information for upcoming games like I normally would. I just don’t care. Could that have something to do with the pandemic? Maybe. I think I’m also realizing…

Stop playing.

To be fair, most of the franchises that have shown up have basically already turned themselves into jokes long before showing up in MK.

$60 for NHL ‘94 and you get NHL ‘21 free!

I mean, “fuck Christmas” is probably the only thing I can agree with Melania on.

It amazes me how so many people don’t grasp this. Or do and just resent Minecraft that much. I’ve never played it*, but this game absolutely deserves representation in Smash. And it's an unorthodox fighter, which is the best kind of character to add.

The worst you can say about Biden is he was a bit off his game at the start. Trump turned it into a shitshow by arguing and speaking over everyone.  I don’t know how you can come away thinking Biden is a bad choice of two.  He is the only choice of those two.
