Mister Jack

Seriously, I don't even use twitter.

Steam, couldn't you at least give me a fucking heads up before you take all your community servers offline for maintenance?

I was looking at it on a cell phone so I couldn't really read fine print so well.

That's a joke, right?

You'll see smh used a LOT in the comments sections of news websites. Also, the comments sections of news websites. That's another pet peeve of mine.

If you ask me the Famicom looks like a toy while the NES looks like a VCR or something, but the change obviously worked so who am I to question success?

Why did they change the NES so drastically for the west anyway? I know there was a reason but I've forgotten what it was.

It means "shaking my head." It's usually used by uppity, self-righteous people.

The acronym "smh." I don't know what it is about those three letters, but it really annoys me when I see them used right next to each other.

Most of you probably know about this already, but Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, has a Kickstarter for a new game. The star of the game is NOT Mega Man, but his original character, Beck.

Anyone else hear that Hayao Miyazaki is retiring? The Wind Rises is going to be his last film.

It's a remote control toy, yeah.

Jesus, it never dawned on me just how much bigger the XL screens are. I never put my old DS side-by-side with my new XL before I got rid of it.

I cannot express enough how great ParaNorman is.

I probably put more hours into Killzone 2's multi than any other ps3 game. I felt like the multi in 3 was a step down, though. Have they said which game Shadow Fall will be more like?

One thing I can say is I'm glad they're finally differentiating themselves from other sci-fi shooters by having open levels with objectives you can do in whatever order you want.

I'm getting it. I think I mentioned it a few times in the general killzone thread.

The more I look at this thing the more obvious it is that it's not meant for us. This is meant for 4 to 6 year olds who like to play with mom's ipad but their chunky little hot dog fingers aren't delicate enough to play with a 3ds without breaking it, especially the hinge. If an adult wants a cheaper 3ds though, then I guess nothing is stopping them from going for this. I was almost pissed about buying a 3ds XL recently when I saw the headline for the cheaper 2DS since I don't care about 3D, but I got over it when I actually saw the thing. I'm happy to stick with my XL.

http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/28/microsoft-phil-harrison-interview-absolutely-no-plans-at-all-for-xbox-one-without-kinect-3939852/ We'll see how long they keep that attitude. Right now, at least according to gamestop, interest in the PS4 is literally twice as high as the Xbone. If that ends up being the case once they come out, I doubt they'll continue to insist that everyone has to have a kinect.
