My parents have a story about how we would play Kings Quest (1) on the PCjr when I was really young... This was before I could spell/type, so I would suggest a command and my mom would type it in. When you visited the screens near the witch’s house, she would sometimes randomly appear and would kill you if you didn’t Read more

WHEN TWO TRAINER’S EYES MEET, A BATTLE MUST BEGIN! Read more

I usually engage Trainers first, but I’m going to engage them even harder now. I’m going to hunt down every one of those shorts-loving, overly Skitty-obsessed weirdoes. Heck- if two players can challenge the same NPC at the same time, I’d actually use multiplayer to give ‘em the old Trainer Trap. This kind of behavior

Let’s be abundantly clear here: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild in a way no Zelda game has been a direct sequel since 1987's Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Yes, sure, Majora’s Mask followed on from Ocarina of Time, and Phantom Hourglass picked up after Wind Waker, but TotK is Read more

Haven’t played in years, but a decent deck is going to be 1/2 Trainers, 1/3 Pokemon, and the rest as energy (8-10 card). Get a good draw engine so you can burn half your deck T1/T2 and get the optimal setup. Don’t know what cards you have available or if you care about format, but most decks are going to have: Read more
