“Fourteen or fifteen iterations of everyone’s favorite time lord have gone only by The Doctor”

Yes, many of the adventures that are part of the “Adventurers League” program are basically designed for this kind of play. “Adventurers League” is a program and a set of rules designed to allow hobby shops to run D&D games that players can drop in and out of from week to week. The adventures are all designed to be…

Plenty of people say things like “Don’t make your children wear this” that sound more like “If you wear this, hand in your man card” or “Making your son wear this to school is child abuse” etc. that is basically born out of a fear of boys and men doing things that are not considered traditionally masculine. I know…

That works in some cases! But in others... well, let me just say, I would much rather that nobody in my family attempt to do any of this for me with my new Xbox.

Kirk, I have always loved your writing, but most of all when it helped us lay-people appreciate the music connected to our games on a deeper level than we could have on our own. Good luck with everything you do next!

L Ron Hubbard sees EVERYTHING his church of followers do. But can he see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

The article makes it sound like this wasn’t just a cottage industry of unaffiliated streamers and pros - they were official, salaried employees.

He’s trying to claim in this interview that he would not have known that it was illegal to do that, so that when he asked Cohen to do it, Cohen should have known it was illegal and said no, and advised him on the illegality of it. Despite the fact that he also claims Cohen was not acting as his lawyer. And despite the…

Until the Xbox, Microsoft didn’t really make hardware at all. They only later expanded into the Zune and Surface. So far, hardware has not been where Microsoft has excelled. So when you view it that way, it’s not surprising that they have not expanded into the portable gaming market.

That’s what Smash Bros has (and virtually all online games have). You’re connected to Nintendo’s servers for the sake of matchmaking, and then it connects you directly to your opponent for the sake of the match. If it didn’t have that, you’d be doing things like manually entering users’ IP addresses in order to start…

“Peer to peer” is the correct decision for any 1-on-1 fighting game. Using dedicated servers would mke the game more laggy. Virtually all fighting games use peer to peer connections.

If you liked Link Between Worlds - all the old 2D Zelda games are available for the 3DS/2DS except Minish Cap.

Aren’t “Hero Shooters” like Overwatch the logical evolution of “arena shooters” like Unreal? Which part of the Unreal ‘genre’ is not carried through in those games? Maybe the fact that for the most part they default to team matches, where back in the Unreal days games defaulted to free-for-alls?

But... but... that poor little red dude... got separated from the others! HOW DO I FIX THIS!?

This was not the ‘film’ I thought the headline was talking about :)

Smash actually does have some in-game help for things like each character’s special moves, and most Smash games have a “How to play” video. But these days they actually depend largely on their pre-release marketing to sell people on the ‘how’. You’ll notice that the Nintendo Direct videos for it and the web site all…
