I mean, Rorie wrote multiple strategy guides for games so that's just factually wrong.

 

[mnz]

I don't think you understand. Jeff ATE a switch cart.

Can you really trust his opinions?

Why would I listen to people who can't even taste the difference between a Switch game and a UMD?

Sorry, you telling me Rorie knows anything about recent games? Lies.

Hey, you didn't specify recent games.

Spoiler

Rorie will play ME:Andromeda. Maybe?

The older I get, the less and less sense it makes to me that seemingly intelligent people will bend over backwards to defend a company they don't own stock in. It's silly. At least the professional fanboy tier like Kinda Funny with Sony, it makes sense because they get to host events for them and what not. But just random people who spend all day defending against the slightest insinuation that maybe the build quality in the Switch isn't of the highest standard, as if the sales numbers affect their personal bottom line, just seems so fruitless.

I agree with all of this.

Oh and the audiologs I found were cringy af.

Yeah, this is where Austin's criticism with the game starts. I took them more as a breather without paying close attention. Luckily you can stick to the puzzles if you want to.

It's sports mentality applied to brands. Nintendo is their "team."

Who says they don't own stock in Nintendo.

I don't really get it with sports, either, but I'm not as sports guy. At least with that it's more like "I live in this place! The large men on the field have the place I live on their jerseys! Those other guys don't live where I live, fuck them!"

 

[Glitchesarecool]

It's also justifying a hefty purchase that likely can't be returned or resold for the price they paid on it, should it be bad.

Wait, I missed this too. Poor Jeff B.

Also is that the actor that played Kuze in Yakuza 0 in your avatar? That dude is badass.

l'm not surprised that Jeff "8.8" Gerstmann is trying once again to sabotage a Nintendo product. Hopefully this time Nintendo responds with legal action. They've said before they think the Switch could be a Wii like success, if it only sells Wii U numbers now a lot of that could rightfully be blamed on Jeff, and the other Jeff (Bakalar for his cute little stand hitpiece). That's billions of dollars he could be costing Nintendo here, l hope them and their CBS lawyers are ready for a fight.

That's actually a really solid goof and I like it.

I saw Kubo last night and it made Zootopia feel like a baby game.

The first half of Kubo was great but all the twists (and it does have many) are so obvious and predictable it kinda got boring. Great artstyle tho.

Giantbomb is finished! Maybe they can become Drew's entourage.

I love how Rorie is getting some mild internet fame because he punched new hardware. It's so fitting.

People have gone through a whole thought process which brought them to the conclusion they should pre-order a Switch and play Nintendo games. Some of those then can't take criticism of that, because they see it as an attack on themselves and how they see the world. This will probably never change.

Oh and I love how AMD vs Intel is coming back in a big way. Android vs Apple was always lame.

It's the same song and dance with every console launch, really, although the classic is "it's really loud".

I can't wait for Jeff making a travellog in North Korea.

Given the embarrassment of riches heading our way, yes, I think I will call you crazy.

maybe it's just because Zelda is like, gonna be in my hands on Friday, whereas this is "spring" and IT JUST LOOKS SO FUCKING NICE

I really really like Monster World, OK

For an intentionally hyperbolic parody post, it fits a little too well with the serious posts. Seeing people go full Sean Spicer defensive makes me hope Switch does well for their sake.

It's a good jingle but you do end up hearing it a lot. Now I just listen to the Twitch archive of the live show so I don't hear the jingle.

I have this same problem with the beastcast corrections song. everytime i hear it now i cover my ears

You know. Maybe I should just leave GAF until I finish Zelda. Both sides are way too ridiculous but this thing here takes the cake. All this drama for a console launch isn't worth it.
