I'm not really dialed into Tampa's convention scene real well, but the biggest show is Tampa Bay Comic-Con that's held on the first weekend of August. They've got a pretty good guest list this year, and Keith David is going to be there so I think we might make the trek out to see him. Between Gargoyles and the Thing he's kind of geek royalty in my world.
And then in October the horror convention I went to this weekend, Spookala, will be doing their fall show. The cast of Daredevil is going to be the big headliner for that show I believe.
So what's the details here?
Hall Effect Sticks. I saw a thousand articles on it just now like I should know what they are then read this article and want to know why you would not use anything else!

ESA is saying its only the beginning and that this will hit the whole industry.
It makes the choice for a Pro switch 2 controller easier. Lots of 3rd party ones have hall effect sticks.I'll probably nab an 8bitdo one once they do a switch 2 version. Mostly because I want one where the d pad is located like the SNES.
Quoting myself, basically this story was a hoax.When a youtuber emailed Nintendo UK to clarify, they replied back, he showed the whole email.
The Switch 2 edition games have all the necessary data on the cart, they aren't just switch 1 carts.
I liked the demo but the choppy framerate always put me off.
I hope it gets better on switch 2.
It feels a bit annoying that the only way to get the full story of these Zelda games is to get a Hyrule Warriors game.
Yes, even more so because the quality of the story is the main reason to play these games!
From what I played in the demo and from interviews the story is all done by the Zelda team and Koei Tecmo doing the game design. So it felt really authentic to BOTW.I feel I need to play it at some point.
Just managed to pre-order switch 2 thanks to a Resetera thread.
I was worried that I'd have to wait weeks or months more after launch given demand.
Got the Mario kart bundle, saved £55 off the physical price. Fuck it.
Now that I have a lot of stuff to trade in, I'm hoping to preorder with Gamestop...sometime.
I just saw that the DK game only launches mid July. That's the game I'm most interested in, so I might just wait a bit and not pre-order at the moment.
Last game I have left is DK64
UK Switch 2 editions are £65 here.
I don't have many Switch 1 games I don't already own that I want on Switch 2.
Maybe Kirby. But I'd rather buy used and buy the upgrade fee for most.
No but I have enough floor anyway.
The Canadian pre-order for the Switch 2 has been delayed to align with the US date. That sucks.
I hate auto correct. It actually changed "hate" to have, just now.It doesn’t like naughty words.
I don’t like it either. Sometimes it’ll try and change “hell” to “he’ll” on me.
I always turn off autocorrect. I don't need a digital aid to make typ'os.
Universal is planning a theme parc in Bristol, UK. Hopefully that'll include a Mario section. Would save me a trip to Japan or the US as the kids keep nagging me about going there.
I've had a CRT tv stowed away in the attic for a couple of years now, waiting for renovation works to end and enough stuff to have been moved around so I could place it under our living room TV. Today was the day. I brought it down (heavy motherfucker), cursed when it dawned on me it was heigher than I had expected, neccessitating that I move all my GC, Wii and WiiU games, and put it in the cabinet. I switched it on and was greeted by a disconcerting buzz that doesn't seem to go away. I'll try blowing some pressurized air through it later to see if I can get rid of the buzz. If not I fear I'll just have to toss it out.
He said 3rd parties can choose to price their switch 2 games whatever they want.
He says that Nintendo will have no standard price and that they will price games based on what they feel it's worth.
He said my world price is not setting a precedent and that other Nintendo games will be cheaper.
