If it's a profitable piece of hardware that generates interest in software then that's all the stimulation that's needed. Profits are always primarily made on software anyway. Until you can plug a Vita direction into a TV (which doesn't seem to be in the cards anytime soon) this provides functionality that the Vita… Read more

Still, the same goes for cosplayers where "large public gathering nullifies your privacy" yet we were told in no uncertain terms to not take photos of them when they were unaware it was happening. There are some people in these photos that are clearly being singled out. If the rule of thumb is "don't take voyeuristic… Read more

So, did you get permission from every individual person that you photographed? There has been a lot of press on blogs like this shaming and damning people who take photos of unsuspecting cosplayers without their permission. I'd hate to see any hypocrisy going on here. Read more

Yeah, pretty comparable to Game & Watch games though they're a bit faster and more aggressive. Donkey Kong is probably the weakest in emulating the feel arcade version yet it's still impressive in what it accomplished back then. They're all very playable and a lot of fun. Here's video of a digital emulated version…

I did own Pac-Man as a kid but that was lost to time like many toys of our youth. I got a few at my local classic/retro gaming store http://dpvideogames.com/ and the rest took a few years worth of frugal eBay hunting. I didn't pay more than $75 for any one and got most for much less than that, market value on them… Read more

I have all of the Coleco minis, love those things. (I do own Zaxxon and the Game & Watch Tabletop styled Donkey Kong Jr. that Coleco licensed, but since those are aesthetically different I didn't photograph them with the classic 5)

"A better presentation" is relative and your personal opinion. There are plenty of people who felt the presentation was good/superior and their opinions do as much or as little to change the consensus as yours. Read more

Yeah, I'm not getting the hate on him. Jack Tretton was likable after a long relationship of familiarity with audiences. Give this guy a few more E3s to speak and and I'm sure he'll get more comfortable speaking to us and we'll feel that he's as likable as any executive talking to us about games. Read more

Gamers talk shit about console competition, perpetually, 24 fucking hours a day. Read more

While I'm absolutely and completely sensitive to the limitations that are faced in this game, as a cisgender, heterosexual male I'm a bit frustrated that practically every review of this game spends a good quarter and up to the entire review essentially shaming me for purchasing/enjoying it. I suppose there's really… Read more

Sometimes removal from Netflix is in preparation for physical release. It clearly didn't hit the average home release window after the series ended but Disney is pretty good about getting stuff out there EVENTUALLY. Read more

Yes, it is on both iTunes and Amazon's video service, personally I'll wait for DVD or Blu-Ray. Read more

Sure, personally I'd MUCH RATHER see Beck make some kind of cameo in Tron 3. What would be excellent is if they could get Elijah Wood to play an employee at Encom, not a huge part but just a cool nod to Uprising. Read more

Yeah, I hadn't checked my queue recently and I see it's gone now, which fucking sucks. Read more

SHIT you're right, it's gone! Hopefully they put it back on or release it on Blu-Ray. Read more
