How Iwata has 77% is astounding. You'd think lying and misleading investors would count for something.

Yep. I am a big fan of core gaming fleecing mobidiots. Charge them for every stick of furniture with ability to import into 3DS version. A sucker is born every minute and they should be funding my gaming hobby overlords.

Hey now. Those mobidiots are just unaware members that have yet to be introduced to enlightment by informed veterans of the society that we. . . oh fuck it. Take all their money and keep my costs down!

Additionally FUCK RE6.  I am now playign 3D Dot Game Heroes as therapy.

What? Why? That sounds like saying, "I'm tired of slamming my dick between the toilet seat and lid, so instead I'll just slam my hand between them.

Yeah we are not going to flip those losers into gamers.

and on RE6 -> Dot Heroes. I would much rather have my head slammed against said object than my dick ( I use my dick more than my head).

Social media has just outed industry professionals as idiotic fanboys like the rest of us.

Obviously they should steer the whole country into smartphone production. Like the Cultural Revolution, only with Apple as Mao.

This was quite funny, about the EA/Wii U thing:

"The best part about it is how this engine that supposedly can't run on the Wii U had a game that was so crappy on the twins that it sparked a class-action suit against EA. Good going guys."

I wish they would release a Panzer Dragoon Saga HD digitally on xbox marketplace for 7.99.  Maybe even 11.99 I'm feeling large.

Sounds like a game I'd quite enjoy.

Apparently this cannot ever happen because SEGA managed to LOSE the code for the game. What a well run house of talent that company is.

Robio and myself brought this up last week but I guess not or they feel its too much extra effort or some shit. Notice how few Saturn games have been re-released? Maybe they lost the code for most of its library.

Read about that new Amazon machine a little while ago. Not really sure what to make of it yet. As someone who prefers my media on physical format I'm not to keen on digital downloads and even less so on streaming services.
