Yes, the only DS games that are region-locked on either system are the DSi-only/DSi-enhanced ones.

Moore has commonality with Miller in that he didn't so much go downhill as it became increasingly apparent that he was maybe already at the bottom. That dude was always a crazy wizard. Remember how Watchmen just casually drops the idea that psychic powers are Totally A Real Thing?

I was on fire this morning. Won and got MVP several times in a row, including a match where I had a 9:1 KDR. Ninja Squid and the movement upgrades are my favourites.

I would honestly consider that worse. That movie does not hold up.

Then you'll love the ending segment for this episode! -
Chris, the robot you controlled wouldn't have been the Kuratas, which has multiple onboard Kinects for tracking pilots and targets, would it?

I read Seconds the other day, by Bryan Lee O'Malley. I personally liked Scott Pilgrim but felt like I outgrew it as I got older, and Seconds really feels like a much more mature and cohesive work overall, to the point that I actually kind of resented the few small nods to Scott Pilgrim in there. Seconds perfectly captures this sort of frustrating "successful but not successful, happy but not happy" period after the indestructibility of being a teenager or early twenty-something wears off. It's from a much darker place, too. The book cost O'Malley his marriage, he lost the use of his drawing hand for several months, and he worked sixteen-hour days for most of the book's four-year development; and all of that pain ends up showing. Really great stuff.

I use my real name or a truncation of it for more personal spaces like this. In other places I use UnitNumberFive, which is an Evangelion reference that happens to be kind of generically cool enough to not embarrass me.

I like Chris' story about BIG WARS. I feel like the earliest example of that kind of silly attributes acronym is probably from DC's Captain Marvel, created in 1939, who shouts the name of the wizard Shazam to gain the wisdom of Solomon, strength of Hercules, stamina of Atlas, power of Zeus, courage of Achilles, and speed of Mercury. It`s dumb as fuck and I love it.

I use a gender-neutral name and don't use voice chat.

Danielle: I got it.

Fun trivia: Nintendo will almost certainly never partner with Lego. Lego famously took legal action against them for a Lego knockoff they produced back when they were a toy company*, and they recently got pretty involved with K'Nex. *Not like now. Now the toys have NFC tags.

Regarding Chris briefly mentioning that his phone number was only one away from the horse track: the annual tradition of NORAD tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve started in 1955 when a Sears department store released a flyer with a phone number where children could call Santa on Christmas Eve. The phone number was misprinted, and the resultant number was the top-secret military phone line for the Colorado Springs Continental Air Defense Command Center.

A follow-up: What the fuck is this game? Oh, also: THE RIDICULOUS CONTROLLER IS CANON

I feel like the 2010 Konami conference is the turning point where companies learned to start putting their own employees in the audience so they could be guaranteed some applause. Remember this?

Meh. We're like five years away from all movies being listicles. -
Chibi-Robo is exclusive to a bundle here in NA. Nintendo's handling of the whole amiibo situation is really frustrating.

I know what I mean, and I mean I hate Aisha Tyler's performance during these things. EA's "the feels" guy from last year was pretty awful though.

Even when Ubisoft chooses people who are otherwise fine, they usually deliver the most grating material/performance. The free space stays.

I've been thinking of starting a Patreon. Anyone have any experience/advice/recommendations?

You're also in a convenient position in which there aren't really any slurs that apply to you.

I'm sure this game would be greatly improved if I could hear twelve-year-olds swearing the entire time instead of the fantastic music. An aside: Splatoon is the game that's going to make me spring for the extended life gamepad battery

I'm fine with the idea of deciding not to buy something because you disagree with a creator or company's principles. I dunno if you wanna take that as endorsing the idea of boycotts or not. I don't think of it as such, but I guess it probably is. I guess I just haven't found a piece of art or product that I feel is more valuable to me than the idea of, say, "all people should be treated like human beings."
