ME, weirdo? Sorry, YOU were the one calling the choice for an orange zapper "ridiculous" and citing criteria for the "justification" of a color choice. I was just advising you based on your level of personal indignation over the color. Read more

Dr. Pierre Chang FTW! Read more

I really think that it's only "ridiculous" in your mind sir. I don't think anybody else really gives any shits whatsoever. Artists make aesthetic choices, the expectation that every single person will agree with those choices is unreasonable. If he colored the zapper green with blue polka-dots you'd have a point, but… Read more

Doesn't change the fact that it's a thing that existed and an aesthetic choice that the developer of the game made. I can't see any problem with it. Read more

It's awesome in that once you get to a point, personal participation is practically optional (but worth it). Great great browser game that plays into an achievement-centric core gaming audience and asks very little in return. Read more

If that's your question, I'll just guess and say that the orange zapper probably plays better aesthetically with the rest of the colorful backgrounds and sprites. Also makes it more clearly recognizable as a zapper in its tiny pixelated form. Read more

Because that was one of the two colors that the Zapper was produced in. It being the latter produced color "safety orange", just in case any kids decided to run around and play with their zapper outside so it wasn't mistaken for a real gun.

WHITE! WHITE CONSOLE!!! GOD I hope Nintendo brings the white console back here. I know I've said it a million times over but these days I can't stand mirror finish black on anything that I'm required to handle with my fingers. Read more

And I appreciated the fact that your team addressed that on the Kickstarter page which prompted me to back it directly and not wait for full funding. Seriously - best of luck, this has been a longtime dream for fans of the original game(s)! Read more

Absolutely. And you guys did make it clearer in some updates immediately following this comment. I'm now a backer and have been since that update. Read more

Because I don't want to game on a device that scales between makes, models, memory sizes, memory allocations, CPU speeds, graphics cards, operating systems, operating system version numbers, drivers, nonstandard controllers, not to mention can get viruses, malware, spyware, and have any number of software or hardware… Read more

While there are no excuses for the crap-ness of Stocks and Weather, you know that the Google Maps app has a great voice turn-by-turn that works fine on a standard iPhone 4, right? Read more

After the generally underwhelming iOS 6 update I wasn't paying much attention to what would be coming down the pike in 7, but everything I've seen looks fantastic and in direct response to head-scratching things/limitations about 6. Read more

What are you waiting for? Go buy Nanobots NOW! Read more

Happy to be a part of that! Read more

Join Us has moments, but yeah, it's unfortunately forgettable in their library in my opinion. Read more

I'm STILL waiting for Ninja Gaiden 4! Read more

Circular Karate Chop is totally my favorite. I love a good Flansburgh punk rock jam. Read more

Where their "adult" studio albums post-Mink Car are concerned, I did enjoy The Spine and its companion album The Spine Surfs Alone a lot, and The Else had some great numbers on it, but Join Us just didn't do it for me after extensive listening, so I'm glad that Nanobots came so quickly after it. Read more

IMO, Nanobots is easily TMBG's best album since Mink Car, "You're on Fire" is a great album-lead off catchy Linnell number and this is a great video. Read more
