    Hurricane Jose Will be Deported, White House Says

    Is this site really THIS desperate now? I mean, really? I get it, things are going well. The content schedule is basically a pixel-thick blinking red line screaming for the enemy to finish you off, and, perhaps, branching out is what's going to save the site. But really? This? Being...

    8 Reasons Why Roguelikes Will Make You Beg For More

    Yeah, should put a lot of emphasis on the "not surprised" part. I had to look it up, and it's a Sega Saturn / PS1 game ported to the PS2 and Wii (nearly 10 years ago) and was most recently ported to iOS 5 years ago? It doesn't even look like it reviewed that well, either, so... yeah, I'm not...

    Atlus Issues Threat to Players who Stream Too Far Into Persona 5

    The "we don't want people to spoil themselves!" justification is pretty dumb, but... well, it sounds better PR-wise than the reason I'd give: "We don't want freeloaders watching the story of our story-heavy game on Youtube instead of buying it themselves". Though, frankly, I don't care if...

    Pokemon GO Monsters Will Need a Permit to Enter State Parks in Milwaukee

    Right, but the park department only has so much money to take care of the park and it's already recently got several new trees planted, a lot of resodding grass, repairs to a large stone bridge among other things done before Go was a thing. The idea of the license would be to recoup money that...

    Pokemon GO Monsters Will Need a Permit to Enter State Parks in Milwaukee

    Hey, that's my city, and the park I played Pokemon Go at a few times. Let's give some perspective here. Lake Park (the cause of all of this) was pretty crazy. Overall, the city didn't have too-too many PokeStops (for a city). It was groundbreaking at first to be exploring and find a place...

    X-Philes

    Never been an X-Files fan, so I was very curious why she got so excited about John Cena's theme.

    Levels you couldn't get past.

    For me, it was Super Mario RPG for the SNES. I rented it a few times when I was younger, even getting lucky enough to get the same copy with my save file attached a few times, and I didn't get very far. You see, there's this mouse boss with bombs that completely wrecked my shit when I was...

    #078 - Placebo

    Yeah, me too. It took me a few shots to figure out how I was supposed to do it. Yes, a few, as in more than two. Whoops.

    The Most Interesting Magic The Gathering Cards Made By Artificial Intelligence

    So, one of my sub benefits is supposed to be Single Page articles, but I still have to go through a billion pages at 2 cards for page for this one. What gives?

    Splatoon Datamine Reveals a Bunch of Unreleased Maps, Weapons, And More

    I don't expect ya to follow EVERY piece of news about the game, but Tower Control isn't just "basic king of the hill". According to the Splatoon Direct a while back, it's closer to a Neutral Payload. The Tower moves along a path toward each team's base depending on who's on it. Edit...

    World of Warcraft Suffers Biggest Subscriber Drop in History

    I can see I wasn't the only one, then, heh. Basically, I came back. Had fun leveling up, even doing a bit of dungeon content, but, soon after that first resub fee hit, I grew bored and just stopped playing. I wouldn't doubt if many people's opinions were the same. I realized that most of...

    Xbox's Phil Spencer Would Love to See Banjo-Kazooie in Smash Bros.

    This is interesting news, for certain. Banjo + Kazooie would be a welcome addition. Also, the article doesn't actually mention who Phil Spencer *is*, I had to google it to find out he's the head of the Xbox Division.

    Zelda Wii U Delayed, Won't Launch in 2015

    I am reminded of Shigeru Miyamoto's famous words: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." I hope they take all the time they need to make this a great game, but not too much time where they want to take on too much and wind up making a convoluted mess. I...

    Sony Claims Pricey SD Cards Produce "Less Electrical Noise"

    It might just be an SD card designed for reduced EMI emission. This (admittedly really old) standards doc for the SDIO includes a section: For some SDIO devices, there may be a need for a lower impedance ground connection to the host. This may be needed to reduce the card?s EMI emission or...
