Nova (Richard Rider) is the best Marvel character, according to me. I want this to be true, but I just don't see it happening.

Golden Abyss

Super Mario World via Wii U's VC. I never beat this growing up, for reasons unknown?! Anyways, I SMB3 will always be the best Mario, but this is a close second. It's crazy how much better this game looks than the New Super Mario games.

I got a $20 off coupon at shop.ca, so I got myself some Watch underscore Dogs.

That was nice of them to give you the code! Maybe FEZ was the same deal?

MK8 has it's problems, dumb roster, no voice chat, gamepad/split screen, but it really is the best Wii U game, period. If they released some new tracks/characters via DLC I'd definitely purchase.

It was in NA when I got it at launch last month, PS4, PS3, and Vita. EDIT: I don't see any mention of cross buy on the NA store anymore either. You might want to be careful, Sony's been sneaky lately and having things only be cross-buy when it launched. For instance, Limbo was cross-buy on Vita when it launched, but I don't think it is anymore, at least it wasn't when it was on free PS+.

You're just jealous we won Olympic gold in both men's and women's ice hockey this year.And you've got 7 fantastic NHL teams that are always fighting for championships... Shut yo' mouth! We take solace in the fact that the majority of NHLers are Canadian. Still #1!

Preordered one of these sexy things:

Fixed!

Never has owning a home (non-VR) console caused people so much shame.

Book spoiler:

Yeah but if you're at the press conference, what are you suppose to do? If you're watching it in a theatre? Get up and walk out? Cover your eyes and ears and hum?

That's a pretty big difference. Also I love the way they were like "oh you had a 360 last year and didn't play The Last of Us? Fuck you Xbot here's some spoilers".

FINE, DEAN. I was just trying to make you happy I saw way more new and interesting stuff from Sony and Microsoft's pressers than anything Nintendo had to show. I couldn't care two shits about Smash Bros. Outside of that, just a bunch of side scrolling platformers, which on any other platform would be 15 dollar downloadable games. Mario Maker looks great in theory but I have zero faith in Nintendo's ability to have a competent online infrastructure to support sharing and browsing levels. Zelda looked cool but I'm less excited for the 20th Zelda game than I am for the 4th Uncharted. Plus Sony had No Man's Sky, aka game of the show.

Well, it's my understanding season 5 will be AFFC and the vastly superior ADWD. Book spoilers and season 5 leaks be ahead :

The show probably could have done a better job setting up who the Children of the Forest are and who Bloodraven is. Also, Tyrion's backstory with his wife would have helped explain his motivations a little bit better, but it still worked. Overall I liked the season and I liked the scenes they added in, like Brienne and Arya last night and Bran at Craster's Keep a few episodes back. The interesting thing is, Bran is about halfway through his ADWD stuff, Sansa is mostly done her AFFC material as well. Book purists are going to riot when the TV show starts moving past the books for some story lines next season. Unless GRRM can get The Winds of Winter out in the next 10 months??

Remember how I always bitch about the Virtual Console? Jason Schreier of Kotaku finally caught on that Nintendo needs to drastically overhaul their approach for the Wii U and 3DS VC and posted an article about it that's worth a read. He talks about how long it took to get SMB3 on the Wii U, but what he doesn't seem to be aware of how it was announced to come out in 2013, and didn't get released until a few months ago. Regardless, still worth a read (or just search for my old posts where I said the same things a year ago, only with more punctuation errors and CAPITAL LETTERS). Here's a copy and paste for those not wanting to give them hits: Also on what fucking delusional planet did Nintendo win E3? With Pacman for Smash Bros? Smash Bros getting delayed? Pokemon remakes that they told us about a month ago? The coolest thing there was a CGI trailer for Zelda, that didn't show off any gameplay, reveal the title, or tell us anything other than "here's the art-style no one liked from Skyward Sword... now in open world!". Fuck.

That sounded dirty. So did that.

Honest talk: wall-mounted TVs are the tools OF THE DEVIL!

You're so hardcore.
