  1. I've noticed that mobile developers seem to only ever have one hit game, and never recapture the audience once they're lost. Angry Birds is the only one that's ever had any significant staying power and I'm pretty sure that at least a solid chunk of that is probably just sheer inertia from being one of the first in and thus always having a place on the "most popular" list.
  2. Cartoons!

    Missed opportunity: not using the conspicuously absent clips of the Cars movies for "disgust." For all I know this will be good, but this trailer seems to be really banking on nostalgia toward older Pixar movies after a string of disappointments.
  3. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    I really want to know what that new ability does.
  4. Jeff Goldblum

    She plays a character clearly inspired by Elvira who's not really in the film a whole lot. I stopped paying attention. It really is pretty crummy. I appreciate that Jeff Goldblum plays a professional whose talents are wasted on trash in that movie.
  5. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    Yessssss. Twilight Zone is great viewing this time of year.
  6. The Boos in the courtyard only carry red coins until you hit a certain point in the game. I forgot to nab that star on my first run after getting 149 stars and realizing I wasn't getting the last.
  7. I've never eaten Taco Bell, or been inside a Taco Bell. I'm not sure I've ever even seen a Taco Bell. I'm some sort of freak of nature.
  8. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    Compromise: iron text onto a pony shirt Also, only thirty beautiful days left of pumpkin-flavoured/scented EVERYTHING.
  9. Will Mario Kart follow suit?
  10. Oh man, yessssssss. Why is it that Ace Attorney is still the only good video game adaptation?
  11. The DS one is actually really neat despite not having a proper analog stick and having a single permanently missable star.
  12. Spelunky!

    I wonder if they mean ghost like a Mario Kart ghost or ghost like an actual ghost like in multiplayer.
  13. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    Clearly you haven't seen the latest Mortal Kombat X trailer. I meant the former.
  14. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    Oh, and it's October first! IT BEGINS!
  15. Also, you can't solve video game controversies with boxing anymore because you can't call it "Raging Boll." We're never gonna' top that.
  16. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    You realize you'll need to buy a My Little Pony shirt if you do the latter. If you want to make it really authentic, you'll have to decide which pony best represents you. Also, my BR copy of Bride of Frankenstein came with a second Ultraviolet code for some reason. Anyone here want it?
  17. As soon as Uwe Boll was mentioned, I immediately thought "oh man I hope they bring up the idea of Danielle boxing him." Best. Also, films directed by Uwe Boll include House of the Dead, Postal, Alone in the Dark and Alone in the Dark II, three movies based on Dungeon Siege called In the Name of the King, all three Bloodrayne movies, a fucking scene-for-scene parody of Bloodrayne 3 called "Blubberella" starring most of the same cast, and goddamn FAR CRY.

    My phone is fixed, I am the Media Queen.
  19. What is the Nadir of the Simpsons?

    And yeah, I hate that shit. I mean, there's a single button on most TV remotes that adjusts aspect ratio, right? It's a shame, because I really would like a cleaned-up Simpsons BR release. Not to remove cel dirt or anything, just the fairly severe compression artifacts on the current DVDs. That's probably not possible since the show was meant for TV and not film, but whatever.

    Finally got Fibreop! I have TV service now too. The phone stopped working. but the guy's coming back to fix that.
  21. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I'm playing Mega Man Battle Network on Wii U VC; and it holds up incredibly well. That battle system is just so FUN.
  22. The Bombcast also brought up Nestlé and water this week. Also, fuck Nestlé.
  23. Jeff Goldblum

    I'm watching a Jeff Goldblum masterpiece as part of y Halloween viewing! Goldblum plays a serious journalist working for a shitty tabloid who is sent to Transylvania on assignment to investigate a series of Frankenstein attacks.
  24. Life

    I need to find a new job, but I'm super depressed and finding it difficult to get motivated.
