Friendly reminder (which counts to all social media): if you see something distasteful, harmful, or outright hate speech, report report report it with the handy dandy triple dots, lines, etc. Read more

Why don’t they ever objectify men in games? I want Kilik in a speedo. Or Siegfried. C’mon. Fan service goes both ways. And don’t point me towards Voldo. Read more

Now I got to find a hardcore raider who has managed to catch a MewTwo its the only mon missing in my Kanto Pokedex. Read more

Cats are definitely left - you see them around like the last paragraph. They’re just bad eating, and you won’t get much milk. Read more

The lore of Splatoon is refreshingly dark. Everything about Splatoon in general is absolutely dark and I love it. It’s one of those things that are hidden gems in a list of video game stories. The fact that the Octo Expansion expands this really cleverly is just icing on the cake. Read more

I hope they take some effort to diversify the characters a bit. It’s been a while since I’ve played (wii version), but if I remember right fox, falco and wolf had basically the same moveset, as did Mario and Luigi. Maybe the two Links too, I honestly don’t remember.

With an oh so clever play on words for the hero’s name, I’m sure. Read more
