  1. Nice first step. Now, how about allowing athletes to make money on their own? Even if all schools colluded together to not pay their players, they should still be able to sell autographs or do terrible, local commercials.
  2. I don't remember slips at any of my local TRU. They went from looking like those pictures to just sticking everything behind glass.
  3. Toys R Us was always the place to go to buy Nintendo consoles. It's where I bought my N64, GCN, Wii, and Wii U. Prior to that, it was all Child World for me. They died out in the early-mid 90s, though. Those castle stores were the best.
  4. The Pokemon Company has already said that the game will be free to play with stuff like cosmetics being for sale. I expect cute little hats and maybe even shiny skins.
  5. The first and third games are up, so they likely wouldn't bother. Knowing Nintendo, it's something stupid like they haven't figured out how to cleanly make Joycon versions for the GB/A and N64 controls and that's what's delaying them adding those consoles to Nintendo online.
  6. What really sucks about Star Fox Zero is that it was a phenomenal Star Fox games crippled by terrible controls. It's the number one Wii U game that I think would do really well with a Switch port.
  7. No, that was Major, the one of Biden's two dogs that was a rescue. He's also a German Shepherd.
  8. ‘Perfect Strangers’: Robin Thede & London Hughes To Lead Reboot Of ‘80s Comedy In The Works At HBO Max DEADLINE.COM Perfect Strangers, the 1980s sitcom starring Mark Linn-Baker and Bronson Pinchot, is the latest classic comedy to get a reboot – with Robin Thede and London Hughes set as leads. The project, which … This will likely be terrible to a degree that is hard to put in words, but it's also Robin Thede and she's great. I'm very conflicted here.
  9. Here's my take... Daredevil - Strong start, weak and racist finish. Jessica Jones - Would have been better if Netflix has realized they could just make seasons shorter. Season 2? I don't believe you. Luke Cage - if you only have Mahershala Ali contracted for like 8 episodes then you make an 8 episode season. There was more after the first season? Shut up. Iron Fist - I don't know what this is and you can't make me remember. The Punisher - Not bad, but holy shit Netflix. Every season doesn't have to be so long. Defenders - Thank you for finally realizing you can make a short season. I'm sure it only happened because their editors were threatening to kill themselves. Agents of SHIELD - Slow start, but great middle. Once they realize that Marvel had left them out to dry they did their own thing. That sometimes worked phenomenally. It sometimes didn't. Agent Carter - Good, but also too long. Entirely forgettable. Inhumans - This never happened. It's a fever dream that you think it did. Runaways - Fantastic up until they ran away. It kind of lost itself in CW melodrama one that happened. Cloak & Dagger - The only one I haven't actually seen a single episode of. Casting looked good...I guess. Legion - Absolutely a fever dream of the best kind. I can honestly barely remember any of it, but I think that was from the contact high.
  10. Remember that scene at the end of the last season of Iron Fist? I don't remember it either, but I'm pretty sure that's because the TVA bombed that timeline out of existence.
  11. You can do that? That's it, I'm turning my backyard into a tomato farm.
  12. What about the format does Sony view as worthless?
  13. Yeah, if Sony thought they were getting their money's worth from E3, they'd put up with it even if higher ups thought it was out dated.
  14. The Pokemon Company skipped E3 this year. Honestly, they might be done with E3. They didn't exactly have a good time at 2019's E3 with toxic fans harassing employees over Dexit.
  15. That's not fair, though. Only Nintendo would make fans wait nearly two decades for the next installment of a story they started telling 35 years ago. This is worse than waiting for new chapters of Berserk. Oh great, now I'm sad.
  16. This right here. E3 was originally meant for sharing the state of the industry and showing off a few things to the press. That turned into this whole media frenzy as magazines and shitty Internet connections created an environment where gamers, voracious for any news they could get, would stand by and watch the E3 coverage as it came in. Nowadays, YouTube is a thing. Twitch is a thing. Facebook is a thing. Traditional media outlets are suffering. Nintendo hosted their E3 Direct from their own YouTube channel. Gone are the days where we'd watch a camera feed of E3 presentations and then wait for a few hours to get full resolution videoclips of the trailers because it was the only way these companies could get our attention. When Nintendo announced the Switch, Google dropped it as the breaking news in my news feed. Google provided me directly with a link to the presentation on YouTube. I didn't have to go through some other website to get the news. I got it straight from Nintendo. That's why all this traditional press is suffering. This is why celebrities go eat spicy hot wings, play carpool karaoke, or whatever stupid game Fallon has lined up. If we wanted to know what was going on in a celebrity's life we could just find out via Instagram. This is like people arguing that the post-game press conferences are good or actually important. They aren't. The only reason they still exist is because an increasingly smaller number of people think they should.
  17. Sony started skipping E3 years ago. COVID was not a factor in their decision. E3 only exists today because gamers think it's important, not because it actually matters to the industry at large. That's why nobody unveils their consoles at E3 anymore. Do you like GamePass? Would you stop liking it if Microsoft improved it, but also just stopped giving a fuck about E3? That's a silly question and that's why thinking E3 matters to the big guys that pay for most of it is silly.
  18. I had completely forgotten there was going to be a Monsters Inc TV series.
  19. Now I feel old. I remember this ad getting me to beg my parents to buy the first game for me. It was sold out, so my mother got me Rad Racer because it was 3D... That's why my first time playing Metroid was a rental...from a local barbershop that inexplicably also rented games. The 80s were weird.
  20. Pokémon Unite MOBA coming this summer WWW.POLYGON.COM Oh, and Lucario does a slam dunk I guess you can get it this summer, free to play, first on Switch and then followed by releases on iOS and Android.
  21. There still could be a release of the Prime Trilogy on Switch, but there's no way Nintendo shoots themselves in the foot by announcing that game before Dread and and hurting sales there. You should totally play Fusion, though. It's a phenomenal game. It's wild to think that the last not-prequel Metroid game was released on the GBA. Five games over 35 years to tell the story of Samus and the metroids. I do hope Nintendo doesn't take another 35 years to tell the next Samus story.
