I've been following his kickstarter simply out of curiosity, and it's funny that he has barely lifted a finger himself to promote it. For a solid month, there were no updates to the kickstarter page, and comments from his PR guy kept saying "Uwe is very busy right now, on the road for a...

"Nintendo Reveals How Much Sales Butt Fire Emblem: Awakening Kicked" Ok, I'm just posting to say that I spent 15 seconds pondering this title and wondering what game franchise "Butt Fire: Awakening" was. And now that I realize my mistake, I don't think i'll ever be able to think of this...

It's just a general case of a Japanese company growing less attracted to the niche that gaming occupies in Japan, while ignoring the enormous potential sales in foreign regions. Rising AAA development costs don't seem worth it when their games fail to appeal to general audiences in Japan.

I'm still thinking that the sponsored article on April 1st was a joke. Maybe even an April Fools joke in taking money for this movie and STILL giving it a terrible review.

When Phil Spencer imagines seeing Banjo Kazooie in a video game, does he envision them from the N64 games? "Man, those were great games", Phil says, "I wonder why Nintendo hasn't made another one of those? Gee, I sure wish we had more games like that. I wish my company had such great characters...

Just going to throw this out there, but Team Ninja has a good deal of involvement in this game's production, which is a first for the Tecmo developed series. Breast physics and and wet clothing effects are key features of Fatal Frame V, even according to the lead developer of the series. I...

That was my first thought, but he has full controller support already built in. I can sadly think of actual PC ports that had less.

Having never seen the Social Network, this reveal immediately reminded me of the promotional artwork for that film. They basically just shaved his head and used a filter to drain out the color, same as every other reveal for this film. Is this movie going to be shot in black and white? Because...

Various book and show spoilers ahead... There are a lot of plot threads in the books that haven't been completely resolved yet, but we've had hints and teases about how they will resolve in the TV show. Season two had a random quip by Tywin Lannister to Arya about how Jaime was...

Yeah, all I can say about Dragonquest games like 8, is that the best skills are unlocked later in each skill tree. Thus, you want to focus in putting ALL of your points in one tree early on, so you can get those powerful abilities earlier. The reason for possible variety, I believe, is that a...

I had hoped the reason they were changing Snake's English VA was so that Datid Hayter and Kiefer Sutherland could co-star in a MGX-MG2 remake. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it happens someday, since a remake wouldn't technically be a MGS6.

Ok, now I'm thinking of Vader on the toilet a few days after this fight, suddenly remembering that lightsaber and where he had seen it before. A stormtrooper walking down the corridor of the star destroyer pauses as the words "Nooooooo!" come drifting from the men's room.

Umm, isn't Luke using Anakin's lightsaber at this point? The one that Anakin handmade? So Vader just snagged his OWN lightsaber in this scene, and doesn't recognize it? Or if he DOES recognize it, he doesn't immediately ask WHY Obi-wan gave it to this simple farmboy? The advantage of...

Yeah, I figured out the thing with Sprint, so I guess it was a false alarm. Now I'm just wondering if I really saw a unicorn or not. If my cellphone dreams about unicorns, I guess that means it's an android, huh? But I already knew that. I did notice while searching for rumors, that just...

Well, I had heard for a while that Ridley Scott was kicking around some ideas and trying to assemble a writing team and cast. After Prometheus, I thought revisiting Blade Runner was next on the agenda. I just saw an article about it last month, actually. After searching a little more...
