It’s funny you say that because I was just remembering how weird it is when you realize the entire second half of the movie is actually about a dog and not baseball. Read more

Yea, something the HD versions definitely exacerbated, although I kind of enjoy it in the same way I appreciate the grainy 80s vibe of Neverending Story. Read more

I think maybe not? If only because relative to a lot of these, that game’s actually pretty high profile! Read more

Yea, these are much more my speed, although I’d much rather have the Star Wars-looking Famicom color palette. Read more

The gambit system is actually something you can take or leave. Back in the day my brother went hard on pre-programming every character to battle like a well oiled machine, but I’ve always just micromanaged everything myself. Read more

Especially with this lineup, feels well positioned to set a new record Read more

I think there’s actually a change.org petition someone started. The people must be heard! Read more

This is all true, but I think pacifist conveys the extra level of non-violence CryptoN was going for. In the Twitch clip you can hear that team go nuts when Sniper gets himself killed since it technically “ruined” the attempt at a win with 0 kills. Read more

Still getting details but I suspect something small that just doesn’t require the base game. Read more
