Re: Mini Review: Retro Bowl - An Addictive 8-Bit Throwback That's Appropriately Super

Random nonsense:
A football game is 60mins.
With a 40sec play clock, meaning, roughly 90 total plays for offense, 45 for each team(sake of arguement).
A run play, if they go to the house, is about 15secs. Much less if tackled short. A pass play is about 10secs.
So, of the actual 60mins a football game, an offense/defense spends about 450-675 seconds actually playing(7-11 mins).
With 17 games a year, that comes out to 3hrs 6mins of work, a football season, not counting practices.
League minimum is $660k.
The lowest of footballers get paid $220k an hour.

Re: Rumour: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Is In Talks To Star In A 'Call Of Duty' Movie

PhhhCough

There are some games that wouldnt translate well. Example, the supposed rdr show/movie, other than the characters we know and the troubles we've seen, what will differentiate itself from other westerns? Same with ghost of tsushima. Awesome game, beautiful, etc., but what will make it stand out from the other great samurai, kurosawa films. And again with tlou. Yeah, we'll see Joel, ellie, and other characters, but will it be vastly different than the walking dead, besides the jargon(infected/stalkers over walkers), "oh! Be careful of the infected/walkers! But be even MORE WARY of humans!"

Re: Digital Foundry Gives Its Assessment Of Cloud Gaming On Switch

PhhhCough

If the switch cloud version is the only way for you to play these games, might I suggest saving the money you would spend on full priced cloud versions and just get a series s or a used ps4. Vast libraries for both, for the same price as a few of the cloud games. Or not, you're your own person.

Re: Talking Point: What Could NFTs Mean For Gaming, And Why Are They So Divisive?

PhhhCough

The only "plus" I got out of it, was being able to sell/trade/give digital assets you own. So, if I'm able to gift/sell/trade, even just once, a digital game im no longer playing, why not.
The other thing I didnt quite...get. when referencing the Ronaldo jersey and owning the nft of it. Am I able to sell multiple jerseys to multiple users and make a profit? Cause it sounds like you buy one nft and sell one nft.

Re: Nintendo Releases An Awesome Wallpaper To Celebrate Kirby's 30th Anniversary

PhhhCough

"Too much cute.." til you realize that kirby is an all consuming monster, that swallows souls, as well as bodies. Kirby seems to be the only one of his kind, probably after years of war/devouring, leaving kirby the last...kirby standing. Now on a conquest for the stars. Kingdoms try to stop kirby, only to be lost in kirby's cavernous maw and unending appetite.

Re: Best Of 2021: Retro Nintendo Games Cost Too Much, But Nostalgia Is Expensive

PhhhCough

I believe it's because the children that played these games and were forced to give them up, one way or another, are adults with disposable incomes now. So people are capitalizing on, like others have stated, nostalgia. Or those douche b's that think "everything older is better". You know the people, "vinyl has a pure sound" or "CRT is the only way to game". THOSE people.
