I’m convinced Nintendo changed something about the way 100 Mario Challenge picks levels. Since the most recent update, my most popular levels have gotten way more plays and comments from players playing 100 Mario Challenge. Not all of the affected levels are in Expert either so I don’t think it’s just because Super Read more

Fates is simultaneously maybe the best Fire Emblem game I have played and maybe the worst. (My opinion obviously) Read more

Hmm... A reasoned, complex response to a complex issue. Cue the attacks from both sides. Read more

Given the more open ended nature of the season 2 ending, I would imagine they’ll have to do something different. That or they could just spend the first 15 minutes of the first episode converging the 3 paths and then it’s business as usual. Read more

Alright alright alright...I’m ready to be emotionally compromised!

It’s a very sad news. While Driveclub had a real problematic launch, it’s a great game and heavily supported. Let’s hope that Sony wouldn’t let the game die. (And let’s hope that people hit by layoffs will find a new job quickly, too.) Read more

Have they done anything aside from Scribblenauts? I loved the original on the DS and I dabbled with one of the other ones on PC, but with these games I just get that feeling of “played one, played them all”. Read more

LPT: Don’t base your entire online persona around a slang word for feces.

They flagged for Poo? I thought Nintendo was OK with a little Poo here and there...

BC is getting me dangerously close to buying another Xbone. I had one at launch and dumped it due to lack of games (but kept my 360, which is a treasure trove). Read more

The Kickstarter backer demo they sent out was really good... if you like Clock Tower and cheesy B-movie horror tropes, anyway. If you do, then it’ll be right up your alley. Don’t play it looking for a AAA experience, though — it’s rough around the edges, but rough around the edges in exactly the right kind of classic Read more

Wow, that does not look good at all. One of the most important aspects of a horror game is good audio design. Starting off your trailer with the same looping splashing sound effect does not give me hope for this game; it’s like starting off a trailer for a dead-serious drama with “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”.

“It’s on Microsoft to stop this from happening again, and ensure their outreach to women seems genuine.” [emphasis added] Read more

Who scoops shit anymore when you can shovel it? Patrick knows what i’m talking about...

If this happened it would be nice if I could just take the hard drive out of my PS4 and place it inside the PS4.5 without losing anything. I would be hesitant to part with PT due to a need to reformat or something of that sort. Read more
