Random Video Game Crap

Apparently Nintendo didn't think the 3DS would sell well after Pokemon Go, so now there's a shortage.
Nintendo continues to be ridiculous. Go scalpels.

That was stupid. They still had a full fledged Pokemon title coming.
And every retail worker I've seen talk about it online said they sold out of 3DS's quickly the same day Sun/Moon came out. As if Nintendo thought they'd already reached market saturation. Before the holiday season.
Jim Sterling said they're still looking at things like a toy company rather than an electronics company, creating artificial scarcities to boost sales, but instead Nintendo continues to hurt themselves. Seems likely to me.
Seriously...that's totally their game plan. People get this, right?
The reason why the Will U failed is the lack of hype and it not being innovative enough.
People not getting a limited edition switch, retro NES (the concept is retarded to me since I can emulate the entire library in 10 minutes) or a little figurine makes them talkative and builds hype.
Hype builds interest and interest turns into a bandwagon.
Then you have zealot fanboys paying out of their assholes for little useless figurines for a game that probably don't even play anymore but they'll accept their contribution to Nintendo because they REALLY intended to have a Mewtwo amiibo on their desk forever.
But hey, it works right? And I'm beating a dead horse since I'm not interested in Nintendo but will likely buy one in 3-4 years only Leyla hits that age.
I'm just hoping there's better options but consoles suck now.

This is almost assuredly Nintendo's last console generation unless the Switch is a mega hit or there is a serious corporate methodology change. The shareholders have had enough and Iwata's not around to tell them to fuck off anymore.
I'd be sad for this, not because I insist on there being a Nintendo home console, but because they're so damn stubborn about this shit, like the way they withdrew on merchandise for a long time because some ventures with other companies didn't work out. I could see them choosing to just close up their games rather than let any of it be third party.
Wasn't there some discussion about that when Sega went third party - whether Nintendo would ever do the same. And Nintendo's respone was that if they ever stopped making consoles, they'd just abandon the video game industry completely & go do something else.
Or running a hotel. And then there is always pachinko.
Damn you, @GasBandit, I've been binge-watching SovietWomble videos.
And it's all your fault.
Though it does make me wonder what a Halforums Viscera Cleanup Detail game would be like.

Well, the 4 pack is $21 right now until the sale ends. Hmmm.
Me, playing video games.
I did buy the 4 pack, but I'm going to give 2 of those (probably) to my family members. So I have one left.
Reason #1 why I hate playing online: assholes who blame their teammates for losing rather than maybe the fact the other team was better. Had a guy just know on Awesomenauts who said "bad game, bad team" right at the end. Fuck you, pal.
One of the things I like about Heroes of the Storm, it automatically replaces certain phrases like "bad game, bad team" into "I have severe self-image problems"
That's amazing.
I think the people who take SWTOR's PVP systems - Galactic Starfighter or Warzones - seriously are pretty ridiculous. It's a fairly easy way to get credits, experience, and command points, so for most people, that's it. But man, the people who build their entire character around it, and are really good at it? It's hilarious to watch them rage when the rest of the team isn't also hardcore.
Had a surprise in my email: Nintendo invited me (plus guest, so I guess my wife can join me) to an event showcasing the Nintendo Switch. RSVP and tickets received, so I'll get to try it out a couple months before the release. I'll make sure to take some videos.
Subnautica's bugs can turn it into something out of a supernatural horror game:
For anyone wondering why this happened:
For anyone wondering why this happened:
The player is exploring an undersea wreck that's located on the seabed, around 400 meters below the surface. There's a bug in Subnautica that can cause multiple copies of wrecks to spawn in the same location, all overlapping with each other. This means that, for example, if a wreck has double- or triple-spawned, then you'll find two or three copies of collectible fragments inside. It also means that two or three copies of every door will be spawned, all on top of each other, so that you need to open / cut through all of the doors before you can enter a room.
However, there's also a quirk in the "open door" animation, in that if the door opens inwards (that is to say, away from you) then when you open the door you'll immediately move forward into the room. What happened in the video is that there's at least four copies of the wreck spawned there (ie, at least four doors on top of each other), and when the player opened the first one, the "open door" animation threw him forward into the room. He's then trapped in the room, fruitlessly opening doors and trying to get back out to his submersible vehicle, because he's rapidly running out of oxygen.

A player has made first contact with aliens in Elite: Dangerous.
The whole encounter is pretty awesome.

HAH, that has happened to me SO many times, but not with openable doors... rather, there's been at least 4 occasions where I had to "burn through" a door no less than 8 times because of that. Thankfully I was on the outside trying to get in, so I could keep going back to get more oxygen.
Also, that dumbshit deserved to drown for messing around at that depth with only 75 seconds max of oxygen. High Capacity O2 tank FTW.
Judging by how fast his oxygen was depleting, he probably didn't have a rebreather either. I mean, he's got the PRAWN so he probably figured he could use the oxygen tank's inventory space on collecting materials instead, but not equipping a rebreather is just careless considering it doesn't take up an inventory slot.

To be fair, don't you always have urge #2?
The very definition of Video Game "Crap," the upcoming THIMBLEWEED PARK will give you the option of displaying toilet paper either over or under. Now I need to get this game.
Of course, everyone knows that there are two types of people:
1) People who set their toilet paper so that it rolls from above.
2) Monsters.

I know people will claim there are those who put the toilet paper under because of their cat or dog or baby, but I posit those all fit in category 2.
