Re: Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life 'Precious Memories' Trailer Is Full Of Farm Sim Nostalgia

Cute game and I would probably enjoy it, but that scene with the parents just sitting there smiling at their daughter gave me creepy "these aren't your real parents" vibes. I felt like I was watching a scene right after someone pulls up and says, "I'm friends with your parents, and they sent me to pick you up today because they are busy". It just seemed really creepy.

Re: Watch: How To Get Good At Collecting Retro Video Games (Without Breaking The Bank)

I like collecting as my shelves clearly show, but collecting video games these days is a painful adventure. There's just too many money hungry people out there doing it that have no interest at all in the games themselves. It's just an investment to them.

I really wish that companies would rethink their "closing down eshops is a good idea for older hardware" mentality. Give us a way to continue buying games on all systems that have that capability in the first place. I mean just recently I got super frustrated when I realized that I can't even buy anymore 3DS games because I didn't load money on to my account before hand. There are so many 3DS games I want, but the physical prices are stupid insane.

Re: Netflix's BioShock Movie Gets 'I Am Legend' Director And 'Blade Runner 2049' Writer

I loved Bioshock, and have bought it many times over on multiple machines. That being said, Hollywood has an extremely bad record for the past decade of making anything movies, series, etc. I really have zero faith in this being any good at this point which is really sad. I've literally gotten to the point where I prefer anything that comes out of Korean movie studios over anything out of Hollywood.

Re: Random: Up Or Down The Stairs? Super Mario Illusion Confuses The Internet

There shouldn't be any debate here because it's obvious he is going upstairs.

Both of his feet indicate that he is going upstairs. I saw that before I even read through any of the article above or the tweets because it's obvious.

The only way he could be going downstairs is if he was actually falling down stairs. His feet do not match up with walking downstairs.

The people arguing this are the same ones that argue math problems on the internet because they don't follow the order of operations. Logic is not hard. 1 + 1 always equals 2, and Mario is going upstairs in this picture.
