The Skate update today is kinda cool. Some areas of the city are completely transformed due to a festival with new goals. Seasonal (60 days) tasks have been added to the Daily and Weekly tasks. New music too. Game still isn’t great but fun to mess around in.

A genre is born. You should’ve known you were screwed when the game included a strategy guide.

It was wild that this even happened, but it just wasn’t the same anymore. To me, “the music died” in a theater in Boston in 2013.

Imagine putting the wrong protagonist on the cover of your game.

That was more so in the 90s. By the 2000s, he was in all the basketball games (and NBA Street) until he retired. He hadn't been in a game since NBA Live 2004.

“How do we convince them to buy 2K instead of EA’s new game?”

“I dunno. Put Jordan on it.”

“He retired 7 years ago.”

“So?”

Nintendo Fan Network (Game) - Giant Bomb

The Nintendo Fan Network was an app for Nintendo DSi and 3DS that allowed fans at Safeco Field (home of the Seattle Mariners) to play minigames, track stats in real-time, and even order food delivered...

Whenever I'd go to PAX after that, I'd make sure "Nintendo Fan Network" was my most recently played game. So, anyone I StreetPassed would just see a Mariners logo, which I imagine was confusing.

As a Braves fan who's old enough to remember when we were in the western division, can the Dodgers and Phillies somehow end in double elimination?

There are many Nintendo DS games with a “D.S.” subtitle. And there’s Trauma Center whose protagonist is named Derek Stiles.

The first MK game to go online. The Konquest Mode was better than it had any right to be. Puzzle Kombat and Chess.Kombat were fun. And you can’t go wrong with Super Shredder Sub-Zero.
