Why apologize? Because I don’t think we should be running uncensored screenshots of animations of young characters from popular fiction having sex. I’m not saying we should write about it or even in some fashion show people what it is we’re talking about, but how we presented it exceeded what many readers expected.

I PLAY MATURE GAMES FOR MATURE GAMERS SUCH AS MYSELF

because nintendo fans are anime/children and sony gamers are adults.

I’m genuinely amazed at how Nintendo manages to make their Directs seem out to be Mini-E3s every single time. Yet Sony’s and MS’s attempts seem to not even hold a candle to Nintendo’s viewership.

I am hyped for the Smash Ultimate grand finals on Sunday. Smash is easily the most entertaining fighting game to watch at a competitive level. And I say that as someone who has worshipped Street Fighter since the early 90s.

Which, if we’re being really honest, is how they do any and every game.

I kinda figured this was the case, but some of the coverage of the FGC can make certain segments of it (and particularly Smash) feel like they might take things a tad too seriously.

Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, this was for the people like the woman interviewed at the Justin Amash town hall who said she had no idea that the Mueller Report didn’t exonerate Trump. There are WAY too many people who “know” that it did, and if this can get enough of them to realize that it didn’t, then it wasn’t a complete waste of time.…

Real life isn’t a fucking Aaron Sorkin show. There are no such thing as thunderous monologues that win the day.

The best is easily, easily, Smash Ultimate. Most characters, best refinements to the mechanics, really well-balanced, tons of features, the best arcade mode and the best “story” mode, Ultimate definitely lives up to its name. Nintendo could keep releasing updates and DLC for it for several years and I would be…

Hi it's me, a person this is for.

you need to learn to separate your overemotional reactions to critiques of video games from reality. There’s nothing biased in this piece at all. It’s a generally positive review calling the game a success at what it wanted to be. He offered a critique as it stands up against modern games of the same genre and how a…

Vagrant Story. Still waiting, Squeenix.

Me, a Fire Emblem lecturer: So for analyzing visual texts, remember CRAP: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. Regarding Contrast, examine the first handout ...

Bold emphasis mine.

This seems contradictory. You want to be the first to know but you’re not first to know. The leakers and the people they leak to are. And you acknowledge that you don’t get much out of watching these events, but still insist on leakers ruining what the rest of us enjoy: surprises. Frankly, reading about an E3 event…

Cloud in a dress please

You’re just as insufferable.
Do not ever tell someone to kill themselves over differing opinions.

load times actually mater. A lot of game design currently is working around loading zones and texture pop in.  Eliminating that is actually quite interesting from a dev standpoint, and changes how levels and textures are designed.
