What you see is what you get. I'm just a guy who loves video games.

I prefer 'Solid' but 'Spartan' works as well.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I don't know if I did it right but this is the only thing that's coming to mind. 😅

As a humongous Metroid fan, I'm obviously stoked for this, but I do wonder what folks THINKING about getting this feel about it. Trailers for this game haven't been the best and I fear only Metroid fans care enough for it.

I feel like people who make a big stink out of Pokémon games having bad graphics might not have been paying attention???

Pokémon has never really lived up to the graphical quality of its contemporaries or its hardware. But that's not really the point. Who plays Pokémon because it *looks* good???

You shouldn't, but to quote HelloGreedo: "Teenagers get a pass. Teenagers get mad at people for wearing Vans and not skateboarding. Teenagers get mad when Bad Religion 'sells out' and has a song on a game soundtrack. Teenagers will eventually grow out of this dumb mentality. Teenagers get a pass."
even if you're younger than 14 why should you care what they think?

Found this old thing. Wonder where we'll be in 2030?

Well, blow me over. This game was not bad. I don't love it as much as its predecessor on DS but New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a solid, well-made 3DS platformer with a pretty cool gimmick. It ain't perfect but I'd recommend trying it if you're interested.

I get it, but on some level that's always gonna strike me as, "I don't want Sonic to be Sonic, I want it to be something else!" This series has tried to be a lot of very different, often totally-incompatible things, haha.

Did someone say Mega Man in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds?

Oh, yeah. We did.

Mega Man AND Proto Man are joining the race alongside the new Wily Castle course, the Rush Roadstar vehicle, and of course that legendary theme song!

Playing Galaxy 1 again for the first time in a long time made me realize how the game almost plays like 3D Mario but feels closer to 2D Mario in a sense. Almost like a midpoint between games like 64 and Sunshine and games like 3D Land and 3D World. I find that fascinating to look back on.

There's some cool stuff on Switch 2 but it is held up by the Switch 1 catalog. It's more of a good thing than a bad thing to me because even if the Switch 2 exclusives don't catch your eye, there are several games for Switch 1 that are worth playing.

Happy 10th birthday to what is - if not my favorite Metal Gear game - definitely my most-played.

As a 13 year old kid who had grown up rooting for Sega, seeing a Sonic game on a Nintendo console for the first time... seeing THIS on Nintendo Power... felt like the fakest reality I had ever felt. The world turned upside down, and it *still* doesn't feel quite normal.
