Re: Random: Competitive Melee Player Walks Off Stage In Match-Up Against Jigglypuff

If you have the lead, you don't have to approach. It's a legitimate, if lame, tactic. And plus, it wasn't like Chango was exploiting some kind of infinite invincibility, like Fox's up-B ledgestall, and Fauxhebro could've hit him if he didn't just give up; a lot of Melee players seem to think that the game should always to be an ADHD rushdown fest 24/7, and while that might be more fun to watch, it conditions players and spectators to expect one gameplay style. Stuff like this happens all the time, but of course this is the incident that gets attention, because some e-celeb made a tweet about it.

Re: Review: Nickelodeon Kart Racers - A Poor Man's Mario Kart That Squanders Its Potential

This really is a disappointment, like it had all the budget of a ham sandwich. They could've at least included Zim and Rocko to promote their upcoming TV movies, but that would've made the game better, and apparently that's not what they were going for. There's always Nicktoons Racing for PS1 and arcade; say what you will about it, but that game has way more fanservice despite being almost 20 years old. Plus, voice acting!

Re: You'd Better Get a Bigger Micro-SDHC Card for Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

@CrazyMetroid I'd say they had to downgrade some of the textures and sound quality, likely to reduce the cost of the cartridge. It's still rather amazing how they shrunk a dual-layer disc onto a tiny cartridge. Remember the N64 and how its bulkier cartridges could barely reach 64MB max? Fascinating how technology marches on.
