Nintendo pulled the footage down, which they probably wouldn't have done if it were faked. In other news, enjoy this tool-assisted Sudden Death.

Interesting compare and contrast I saw on tumblr. The first is the New York Times' coverage of Michael Brown's shooting. The second is Rolling Stone's coverage of the Boston Marathon bomber.

Haha, who'd care about breeding mythical horses? *goes back to breeding shiny Ponyta*

Video games are art.

http://imgur.com/a/PzeCw So yeah, probably real.

There's definitely a prototype PS2 controller out there with exactly this, but I don't think anyone's ever produced one for public consumption.

I use the stick on the Nostromo for movement when I'm playing something like Portal or Bioshock and love it, but I think it's because those games don't really care about speed of movement. Also because the sticks on the Nostromo and Orbweaver seem totally different.

Sakurai's said that characters who have even a minor change from their original form (ie: Marth and Lucina) will be clone characters and not alt. costumes. I imagine Dr. Mario has some tiny differences that I'm not aware of, like his pills bounce higher than fireballs or something. I notice that Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, and Lucina are all relegated to the clone ghetto in the corner of the screen.

Damnit, I came here to post exactly this. According to the leaker, all of the Koopalings are available as alternate models for Bowser Jr. Like Warioware Wario/Wario Classic in Brawl. They also claimed that Alph is an alt for Olimar, as I recall. Also, I can't believe you didn't mention the best part of the first leak, which is that the fucking Duck Hunt dog is playable. He allegedly attacks using ducks.

They do, and I like them a lot. Just the same, I wish they were true analog sticks and designed more like a controller than a keyboard. I played Saints Row 3 and 4 by holding an Xbox controller with my left hand and aiming with the mouse in my right.

It's so weird that when it comes to shooters, consoles have better left-hand movement controls and PCs have better right-hand aiming controls. You would think someone would have combined those in a more elegant manner by now.

It's worth noting that far more people donated to the Michael Brown fund, they just didn't have as much to spare. Also, it's fucking crazy that this is still going on.

My landlady and Bell Aliant are in talks to bring FibreOP to this building. I kinda wanna go for it.

This looks weally, weally good.

I caught a second shiny Pokémon while training my previous shiny Pokémon! Time to update the chart!

Hooray!

This is why someone needs to bring back http://www.listofdomainnamespointingtoidlethumbsdotnet.info/ (which has sadly been abandoned).

The amount and quality of fanart made for the winner of the Pokémon World Championship is staggering.

During that entire segment of the podcast I just wanted to blurt out "WELCOME TO THE WAY WOMEN ARE CAST FOR EVERY ROLE. IN EVERYTHING. FOREVER."

I really want to see this guy write a Pokémon review now.

I have a friend who's thirty and loves it, and the TinyCartridge staff seem to love the series as a whole.

My favourite thing about the Zoe Quinn thing is that by far the biggest cry of "journalism ethics!" has come from TotalBiscuit, who also unabashedly accepts payment from publishers to cover their games. And also is kind of a jackass.

Jake has the same birthday as my ex. Halloween is my favourite holiday, but I hate having that mental association, so maybe thinking of it as Jake's birthday instead of hers will do me good. Thanks Jake!
