If you want to see the UK version of this look up "Harry Hill's TV Burp" it burned briefly but brightly, before all the writers completely burned out on writing new material every week.

My man, I was literally eating exactly that when you posted this.

He's perfect

The "I will not explain" video being over 2 hours is just perfect.

It's an away kit.

Mmm idk, I feel like prevailing fan narrative is that the old guard are holding titles back. Gamers have been extremely quick to criticise Miyamoto while he was still producing. Ditto for Tanabe w/ Metroid.

Appreciate it's not super convenient but buying from charity shops is the way. The world doesn't need any more clothes and the old stock is more durable, by virtue of the fact it's still good to sell 20+ years after manufacture.

Panic Button and Rare are not remotely comparable.

Yeah it's kinda sad (although I'm grateful for the lack of FOMO). I'm hoping in year 2 or 3 they come out with some GameCube-ass colour palettes.

I think Nintendo will shy away from full colour joycon 2s for now at least in an attempt to differentiate Switch 2 from Switch 1.

I mean Paul and Ringo ARE still alive

Same. I mean it has to be a coincidence because it's so obscure but I can't not think about this one scene.

The differences between US/UK christmas music canon have always been interesting to me. In the UK we seem to have a deep reverence for the 70s-80s era of Xmas pop. Maybe that speaks to what the British public think of as nostalgic?

Games like those don't come together by accident - they know what they're doing. I suspect any deviation from SM/Prime1-3 are intentional, with the hope of reaching a bigger audience. Acclaimed as they were, those games were ultimately unpopular, and the series will die if it doesn't grow.

I think that's kind of a bold claim when many of the original directors and producers of those games are still with the company, and still working on the Metroid series.

The menus were actually his wife, who I suppose you'd still call Sakurai so not technically wrong

Favourite example of each? I'm still very fond of Ratchet: Deadlocked for number 1.

when are you guys gonna do a SEED BRACKET, with randomised...well you get it.

This is America's dumbest grammar rule and it's not close.

This is gonna sound crazy, but I was literally thinking about this song yesterday and how much I, in particular, love this one lyric for how simple and true it can be youtu.be/aKu0pW69ROc&...

I agree in this case, that review is not an example to be followed. It always has to be a good faith & open-minded evaluation.

I should say this is all assuming that the review itself is being approached in good faith and with an open mind, which maybe the above reviewer wasn't doing.

The issue for me is then all of these getting lumped into a singular Metacritic number that masquerades as some kind of objectivity.

I think it's good to have a range of different critics tackle a video game. Both diehard fans and those coming at it with fresh eyes. You need the informative reviews and the more heady ones (not sure which the above is, admittedly haven't read it)

I don't think this is way off-base but I'd find different adjectives besides "clever" and "dumb" as I think that's an unnecessarily simplistic dichotomy.

It's a mistake to think you can measure intelligence on a scale. Even loosely.

You look so much like your mother wow...

There are so many high-quality releases both big and small that deserve to be talked about every week. We're no longer in an era where it makes sense to discuss a single title for months on ends unless it really is a seismic shift for the medium as a whole. TLOU, BOTW etc. - hall of Fame material.

Call Me Ted did great work for Ipswich last year in the prem but this shit is embarrassingly lame.

Agreed yeah. I think you could do it but it would be a poor experience.

You could probably jerry rig it so you could play without a headset. I'm guessing the Switch uses a light sensor to know if it's inside the casing?
