While the quick blurbs around the site and client say GP is dead, reading the actual story for today actually indicates otherwise, at least to a fairly savvy person. Miss Fortune blew up GP's ship, and everyone in Bilgewater (who was gathered around to watch Graves' and TF's executions) saw it...

A couple of categories of opinions to share with the world: Light/inconsequential: Heavy/major I have more, but I typed me a wall of text here, I think I'll call it a night.

I live in a very rural area in Wyoming, so "hometown" is a bit of a stretch, but I graduated from the same High School as Matthew Fox, actor from LOST (neither of us lived "in town", but it's a rural area, so meh). I also live fairly close to (and have had family actually living in the town for...

Third vote for Isaac in here. It saddened me greatly that he was an assist trophy in Brawl, but didn't even reprise that role in Smash 4. Like I said in my ballot, his being in Smash could help boost interest in Golden Sun like Marth/Roy did for Fire Emblem. And the problem with Chrom as a...

I'm genuinely surprised I have yet to see most of these games show up yet, 2 of them are specifically referenced as some of the best soundtracks of all time (definitely up there among Indie Games).

While I am not a fan of shoehorning minorities into works like this for "diversity"'s sake, and in particular I think that tans-sexualism is bullshit (come at me bros, I'll fight this all day. I'd just rather not do it here and now), I think that it was really well done in this story, and really...

So while opening early Christmas gifts today, I opened up a new Joystick (flight stick, whatever you want to call it). Now this is all well and good, considering I was needing one for Star Citizen when it comes around, but at the moment I don't actually have any games for it. So, Escapist...

My last name is "Finch." When I was younger everyone asked me on meeting me if I was the son of a local Real Estate king. In high school everyone asked me how Stifler's Mom was. As an adult, I get both with disturbing frequency. At least the first one is legit. Knock it off with that...

For many, including myself, the issue is less "Duck Hunt Dog" and more the fact that his inclusion means that something else was looked over/removed to put him in. Generally, the idea is "But I wanted x character instead!" While this may sound petty, there's a lot that people want out of their...

Dammit. I knew he was a long shot because his series hasn't put out a good game in a long time, but I'm genuinely pissed that freaking Duck Hunt Dog beat Isaac (Golden Sun) as a playable character in Smash Bros. Ah well, a man can dream. And there's always the hope for DLC...

Any chance we could see this on Android? If so, I'm buying the hell out of this and never looking back.

This right here, the reduction of religion and the belief in a higher power to on par with a bearded old man who uses pixie dust blah blah blah. Religion is a deep and personal experience, and no it doesn't make logical sense, but if you've ever felt it, then you KNOW it can't be replaced by...

Reading through these now, the hilarious thing is that so many of these could become legit TNG episodes without any deviation from the tweeted plot.

A TAS is used for exactly what Covarr walked about - with the help of tools, we have an idea of what the PERFECT game of Mario looks like. It's not meant to be impressive in the same way that THIS speedrun is, it's supposed to be a technical analysis of the game, generally to help figure out how...

*reads topic title* First thing I thought of... OT: A lot of those earlier games were designed to force you to pay for strategy guides, or to occupy your time with only a handful, meaning they're often obtuse or have a lot of secrets you may need the internet for. There was a time...
