Super Mario All-Stars 3D!

I mean, no way they'd all be in one package.  But damn, that'd be cool.

And Yacht is the actual name of the game someone else trade marked for a buck.

I NEED IT NOW AND I haven't figured out how to unlock it yet (no spoilers!).  I unlocked the ability to craft an upgraded shovel, but that does me no good without the regular shovel. :(

It'll probably better for you for, since you just watched the show for the first time - basically, watching another two episodes.

I was actually a bit disappointed with El Camino.

It was beautifully shot and well written - and if you view it as an epilogue to the series, it does a satisfying job - but as a "Breaking Bad Movie"... I almost would have rather seen Vince take the money he was given and do a two-hour, wholly original movie than be anchored by trying to fill in the ending of Breaking Bad in two hours.

Nostalgia really clouds my judgement on 2.  I remember playing it on long car trips, exploring every nook and cranny and loving it.  I still remember the thrill of finding a new Metroid and scaring the crap out of me when they'd evolve.  That was an amazing mechanic.

Oddly, a lack of an ability to get aroused is a symptom of COVID-19, so masturbation is a healthy thing.

or so I've been telling myself this whole quarantine.

GameStop can be saved, but not as a (video) gaming focused store.

It will take some major closures/relocations, some heavy trimming to the fat that is their structure, and a major overhaul of their entire business model from start to finish.

Video games will become a smaller part of their business.  Like, 10% less each year or something.  I just made that percentage up.  Meanwhile, they need to combine their existing "geek/nerd/gamer" "collectable" merch strategy with Hot Topic and TRU.

I have not seen it yet - it's gonna be a wait for home release for me.

However, Zsasz was utilized in Gotham well (at first.  he became the recurring gun for hire that made him seem overused and undermotivated by the end) with no need for an R rating.  Not that I care one way or another about ratings.  I've always found it odd when people try to use them to critique a movie (either way).

In this case, I don't think the rating made a huge difference.  Harley has become a bit of a sell-out character where women in their 30s buy her tshirts because she's "cool" - and that's about the limit of her power, a marketable token character where my contemporaries do things like post a pic to Facebook of her and the Joker embraced with a caption like "I want to find the Joker to my Harley" with zero understanding of the psychological trama that Harley and Joker's relationship is.  Suicide Squad did her (nor anyone related to the film) no favors at all.  I just can't see anyone  - regardless of age - going out of their way to see this movie unless it was already on their radar.

My wife once called me an emotionless robot.

Someone, somewhere, had suggested it'd be fun if Toby had a cameo/small part as an older, more mature Spider-Man from another universe in the new Doc Strange movie.  Strange getting to interact with the polar opposite of the young, jokey, immature Spider-Man of his own universe while giving Raimi a chance to play in the Tobyverse once more anf helping to open the possibility of a live action Spiderverse movie.

For a long dead discussion that isn't even current because of the Switch's lack of GameCube tech.

I mean, you can plug in the USB adapter.  Does that count?

By shipping the two characters, I assume you mean J&J?  Because I loved it.  Total opposites in every way, but they really clicked together and the way they dealt with her character growth through her relationship was amazing.

To be fair, it's a $200 console.  The "Founder's Edition" is $300 because it includes a bunch of extras, including pack-in games and $50 worth of store credit towards more games.

For me, a lot of the appeal is nostaliga, but they're also doing original titles as well as remakes.  Honestly, as soon as they announced a remake of TRON: Deadly Discs, I was onboard, but seeing things like a new Earthworm Jim has me really interested.

Think of how many people keep their Wii/Wii U plugged in mostly because of the Virtual Console games they've loaded onto it.  I mean, I have a dozen ways to play Super Mario Bros. 3, but I still pay $20/year for Switch Online.
