    [Console] Mario Kart 8!!!

    Yeah that's probably what I'll do, since I know Wii Party U will just be wasted space if I downloaded it.

    [Console] Mario Kart 8!!!

    You can play a demo of the game at Gamestop this weekend, May 17th and 18th: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/events/Mario_Kart_8_TestDrive/default.aspx It's only from 12 - 4pm both days, so I don't know if I'd really want to go, might be crowded. And yeah the only game in the Club Nintendo...

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

    Yeah but the required capture missions are more annoying, since if you mess up the cap you fail the quest. Capping on a kill mission is way less stressful and annoying, since you can just kill the monster if it avoids your trap.

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

    Sadly no, there's no way to spring a trap yourself, only large monsters can do so. When monsters are weak enough to capture, they will flee the area you're in so they can sleep, eat, or otherwise recover their stamina (they can recover a small portion of their health but that's usually...

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

    Something I always tell friends who are just getting into MH: it's slow. It's repetitive. You'll be fighting monsters over and over, and just gathering resources over and over (especially early in the game, you'll want to be sure to take the time to mine for ore and stuff like that). It's also...

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    Unfortunately it's $5 for every $50 spent, not just added to your account, so your plan won't quite work. I'm just glad I don't have to deliberate on where to put my money when someone gives me an eShop cash card. Earlier this year I put a ton on my Wii U and then the only things I wanted to...

    E3 2013 - Official Thread

    Yes, but they're also releasing a physical retail version in August. It's $30 instead of $20, comes in a green case, and does not require owning New Super Mario Bros. U to play. I guess that could count it as a stand-alone game as well.

    [TV] Community

    I thought season 4 was okay until I started rewatching the previous three seasons and was reminded of how amazing the show used to be. There were a couple good episodes in 4 but like the man with the bananas on his hands said, so much of it felt like bad fanfiction. But hey, maybe my incredibly...

    PS3 won't read discs

    I had a similar problem about a year ago, PS3 wouldn't read discs and it make a gravelly ejection sound. I took it to a local repair guy in San Francisco and he replaced something in the system, the blue laser diode I think? I don't quite remember the specifics, but apparently it was a fairly...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    You know rapping isn't just saying things on one note, right?

    [Console] So the Wii U just got a release date...

    It's going to be on both Wii U and 3DS with cross-platform play, and co-developed by Namco and Sora Ltd. (who made Brawl).

    [Comics] Sandman (Hey Nick Look What I Just Got)

    Season of Mists is definitely my favorite full length story, though I also love all the short, single-issue stories, even the tiny Volume 3. It was someone here (probably ThatNickGuy) that first turned me on to The Sandman a few years ago, and now Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors of...
