Did I juts see LINK in a Mario Kart game...? . . . . . . I think part of my childhood just died.

Two words for the Howard The Duck movie: Duck Tits!

Because one of the laziest tropes in fiction writing is fear of the unknown, and science is the perpetual exploration of the unknown. The other laziest trope in that vein is religion; and if you want to get REALLY lazy, just mash the two together. That kind of schlock practically writes itself.

I was actually at a church when the news broke about the captain of the Maersk being rescued and the pirates being killed by the Navy SEALs snipers. The reason I don't say MY church, is because after announcing the captain had been rescued, the Pastor of the church stepped onto the stage (I...

I think part of the reason that those celebrities starting getting into cartoons again in the late 80's and 90's is for the very same thing that people accuse Nintendo about incessantly. They knew their current fanbase was either dying off or growing up and leaving them, so they wanted to get a...

You know, I thought it was impossible, but it's happened. ScrewAttack has actually started to make some good quality videos again. I guess keeping Craig as far as possible from the sound booth was a good idea, huh?

This list fails itself for one very important reason: True Zelda gamers pull a Schrodinger's Cat and deny the very existence of the Zelda CD-i games, thus erasing them from existence. The real number one is the Blob boss in the Windfish Egg sequence from Link's Awakening. He does nothing...

For those of us who have been following Bob for a long time, we know that when the Boston accent comes out, it's like his personal Tyler Durden coming to the fore, and he can't help hating it or snarking on it. That being said, any M. Night movie these days is more about guessing the sloppy...

Well then, I'll do it for you: *clears throat* "See, even people who LIVE in Soccer countries don't give a shyte about Soccer video games, much less EA." Okay, done. ;-)

Bill Gates has almost NOTHING to do with the day-to-day running of Microsoft anymore. He's a figurehead more than anything. If he HAD a title, it would probably be Chairman Emeritus like Stan Lee was for Marvel for about the past 20 years. But, just for s***s and giggles, some bored and odd...

"I'm gonna need more rope..." Why that never caught on as a meme I'll never know.

Metroid: Other M was a unique game, I'll grant you that. I enjoyed it, but you may not. There are people who say that Metroid Prime ruined the franchise. It has 27 "Perfect 100" Scores on Metacritic. There's an entire SOCIETY of people dedicated to the delusion that the Earth is flat. My...

Everything that made BioWare what it was is gone. The greatness that is Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire will always shine as an example of what they accomplished. Personally, I think they peaked at Jade Empire, but I never played Mass Effect. By the time ME3 came along, they were no...

Mark Hamill bug: "That's f***ed up..."

While Nintendo DID use the magazine as a marketing tool, (The budget for the original magazine CAME from the marking dept.) they were also fiercely loyal to their reader base. Back when Mega Man X2 first got released, I got the Nintendo Power issue touting that game. It was ripped, torn, and...
