The main Magic site put up an article about “noncompetitive” decks today, in fact.

Yeah people who are just playing to have fun aren’t normally drawn to “how to improve your game” articles so, as with most things, the internet is a misleading representative sample. The other factor is that a lot of the strategy sites are run by stores that sell singles and cater to a much more sharky audience as a…

So... Vintage (give or take a dozen specific cards), but without the cards you probably couldn’t afford anyway? I’ve played that format before. We called it “Type Broken”. :)

Stalk Market abuse is a lot harder when you’re doing it by yourself. A large chunk of my 3DS Friends List is still comprised of people that I know from another game-related forum. As a collective, we would watch our individual prices (hell, sometimes even Sunday’s buying price) and when one of us hit big everyone…

Yeah that was weird. Even for this show.

Holy shit yes. If there was any quarter-muncher a group of D&D nerds would be drawn towards like a siren’s song, it would definitely be Gauntlet.

Although now I remember that I played BotW on Wii U and didn’t even have the option of the Share button...

I just used Link’s in-game camera for that?

I am going to treat the Leaf Tickets like I do the Jewels in the 3DS Pokémon Shuffle: I will never buy them with actual cash, and I will hoard them for the best return rate.

Well, I’ve resisted Miitomo, Mario Run, and FEH but I think Nintendo finally found the mobile game that will break my will.

A heart scale is an item that you can give to a “move tutor” as payment for that NPC teaching one of your ‘mons a forgotten move. And by “forgotten,” the game means “any move it could have ever naturally learned by its current level*,” so a TM move isn’t available but since TMs haven’t been one-use items for a while…

You can recover forgotten moves eventually, so nothing is truly lost unless you get really complicated (breeding-exclusive moves). Stock up on those heart scales! Sun/Moon makes it trivially easy to get them as long as you have some extra cash to burn.

Man, Tee K.O. is one of the best ever. The last time I played, one of my slogans was simply a Bray Wyatt-esque “Run.”

I finished all 195 free puzzles and three sub-games in Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy so now it’s just the drip-feed of Daily Puzzles that I think I’ll take on in week- or maybe month-long batches. As others have said, the episodic nature made the game feel less coherent overall…

Yeah I played through one scenario and have no desire to play the other because I’d rather get the full story. I’m sold, just give me the game!

As much as Terra is the cover girl for the game, I think Celes can make the strongest claim to being the “main” character of the ensemble. She has the longest and most complete arc, and gets a segment exclusively to herself (and Cid) once the World of Ruin hits; Terra’s solo time is sparse, as Locke interjects into…

Curious to know if it exists in the 3DS VC version. I wouldn’t think so, since there should be no latency, but if it’s the emulation...

It’s right there in the related articles section: Punch-Out!! Easter Egg

It’s amusing how many times Nintendo has returned to the “two screens” well in one form or another. Game & Watch, Punch-Out!!  arcade cabinets, GB/GBA link play, GBA/GCN connectivity, the actual DS/3DS family and everything they can do (including their own wireless version of Link play, especially before Nintendo…

He did crash one (off-screen) in the golden cricket coda.
