Gaming News, Reviews, Podcasts, And More
On this week’s show, Andrew and EZK bring back an old feature called “Kick the Bucket List” where they compare cool things they’ve done in their lives then make fun of Zachary for never leaving his home (22:19)! Andrew also finally gives his thoughts on Eurogamer’s Nintendo NX report from a couple weeks back (36:08) then the boys critique the NES Classic Edition’s game lineup and provide their own suggestions for the perfect list of 30 NES games!

Last month, Nintendo announced the NES Classic Edition (Nintendo Classic Mini in the UK), a miniaturized NES console that comes preloaded with 30 classic NES games. It launches in November for about 60 bucks.
Unfortunately, the 30 games that come with the console (listed below) are all you get. You can’t add more.
So, what do you think about the system’s line up of games? Any glaring omissions? Any titles making you wonder why the heck they were included in the first place?

Internet rule #34 states that “If it exists, there is porn of it.”
And so it goes with the recently released and super duper popular mobile title, Pokémon GO, an augmented reality game that tasks you with wandering around outside catching the wild Pokémon you find loitering in various parks, restaurants, and Holocaust museums.
In the porn parody, three porn stars cosplaying as Pikachu, Charizard and Vaporeon have gone missing and it’s up to Ash to track them down and capture them with his phone’s Pornstar GO app.

“Would you like to see the 3D presentation of Ghostbusters?” my mom asked as we headed to pick up our tickets for an opening night screening of the new film.
“Nah,” I said. “I like 3D just fine but not enough to justify an extra $4 on the already absurd ticket prices.” (What can I say? I’m cheap.)
If I’d only known…

I do what I can to live a healthy lifestyle. I exercise frequently and I try my best to eat well. But it’s not easy. I like junk food. I like cookies and candy and ice cream and pizza and all manner of yummy things that I really, REALLY don’t need to be eating.
As it happens, Andrew is going to be busy for the next several Saturdays in a row so this is his last episode of the podcast until August. In the latest episode, you get him all to yourselves for an hour and a half. Ain’t that peachy!
If you keep abreast of superhero news you’ve probably seen a bunch of articles reporting that Anna Kendrick wants to play Squirrel Girl in a Marvel superhero movie. That’s neat. I’d love to see Squirrel Girl on the big screen and I’ve no doubt Kendrick could knock that role out of the park. There’s only one problem…
She didn’t actually say that.
“My brother sent me a Squirrel Girl comic because he thinks I should [play her],” she told fashion magazine Porter. “I don’t know what Squirrel Girl does other than be half squirrel, but I could be half squirrel!”
Yeah. That’s it.

My sister bought me a PS3 the Christmas before last and I’ve been happily catching up on many of the cool games I’ve missed (Sega’s Yakuza games are great; give them a try!). Unfortunately, after only a mere 18 months, my PS3 controller has decided that the left stick should randomly send a “left” signal to the console. This means that I often can’t run in a straight line or aim with any accuracy and navigating menus is a pain because the cursor keeps zooming to the left.
There doesn’t appear to be anything physically broken. The stick isn’t loose, for example. And it’s not a matter of the stick not being calibrated properly because the “left” signal can emit regardless of the stick’s position. I tried resetting the controller and that didn’t help. Over the past few weeks, it’s gotten worse. The errant “left” signal is stronger and more frequent.
Well, the PS3’s warranty is only for one year so I guess I’m going to have to buy a new controller.
Yeah, about that…

Last Friday, Mitsuru Hirata, chief director of Tokyo Mirage Sessions hit up Twitter to ask western gamers to buy the game despite various localization changes.
“Come to think of it, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE release date is this week on 24th isn’t it! For various reasons we had to change some outfits, contents of events and vocals, but I think the outfits of the overseas version are quite cute! If you live overseas and own a Wii U by all means buy the game!”
Okay, let’s unpack that comment, shall we?
