    I Never Understand Nintendo

    Do you have anything of actual substance to contribute to the conversation? Last I checked MLA and ACA writing formats weren't a requirement for posting here.

    I Never Understand Nintendo

    And thank Xbox for both.

    I Never Understand Nintendo

    This is just my opinion, but it seems like from an actual gamer?s perspective Nintendo has gotten progressively worse since N64. They peaked with SNES, then PlayStation and Xbox happened and they?ve been on uneven footing ever since. I think it?s the old Japanese imperial-minded business sense...

    I Never Understand Nintendo

    So with this recent Nintendo Direct, we learned about the online subscription service and it feels incredibly half-baked to me. It feels like an afterthought. Like a businessman peeking over the garden wall to see what the neighbors have that they don't but feel they probably should have. For...

    Early screening of Justice League deem it 'unwatchable'

    This thread has taught me that people will go to extreme means to justify why their spandex clad hero is more betterer than your spandex clad hero. I like Marvel movies because they have characters with characterization. They're not all particularly deep or meaningful, but I can usually get...

    So, apparently WW is pretty good.

    Just saw it. S'alright. Glad I saw it, but in no rush to see it again.

    The real problem with "that scene" in Man of Steel (DCCU spoilers)

    There's no emotional weight because, like many others have pointed out: there is no set-up for this being a moral line he isn't willing to cross. Man of Steel should be a classroom discussion on how badly you can mess up narrative flashback storytelling. I don't think anything of value is told...

    The Force Awakens question

    Thank you for clarifying that. I really appreciate it.

    The Force Awakens question

    See, this is where I was confused. Because the movie doesn't explain it, but others had told me that the Republic had commissioned the Resistance to fight against the First Order, which would mean the Resistance would have been essentially a commissioned militia of the Republic. If tha were the...

    NES Classic Edition Discontinued Worldwide

    I don't think I'll ever understand Nintendo's business practices. Would've picked one up if I ever saw one in the stores. Guess I'll finally start dabbling Raspberry Pi and try finding a cool Nintendo-esque case to house it.

    The Force Awakens question

    Pretty much. I became bored with Rey by the end of the film. She just didn't strike me as being very compelling and her seeming mastery over every task set out before her with no explanation just annoyed me. Visually the movie was good, but narratively, it was kinda all over the place. Who...

    DCEU

    Course correcting this late into the game is kinda pointless. Either go full HAM and do something like Injustice or go back to stand alone movies. Would personally love it if this whole universe was blinked out of existence from the Anti Monitor. I think the biggest problem with DCEU is that...

    Well THAT was a shift!

    I mean, Swoard Art Online had a bunch of tonal shifts. Talking about the anime. 2nd half of 1st season with sister/cousin lusting after MC, and creepy child molestery businessman with Asuna, and the weird tentacle employees implying "having some fun" with her when she tries to escape. Didn't...

    Joss Whedon to Direct Batgirl Movie

    Written and Directed by Joss Whedon. No doubt will be edited and reshot by executives behind his back based on focus groups reactions and marketing data.

    First Look - Tomb Raider Reboot

    I'm immediately put off by the excerpt: "Seven years after the disappearance of her father, 21-year-old Lara has refused to take the reins of his global business empire, instead working as a bike courier in London while taking college classes." She's the heiress to an empire and she just...
