Plea the fifth
Congratulations, you are now through the slowest part of the gaming year. Nothing major ever happens at the very end of December through the first week of January. But can you hear that in the distance? It’s the sound of hype. For, lo, the Nintendo Swtich event cometh with news out the wazoo! For now, though, let’s enjoy this quiet moment together and look though some comments.
Heroes of the Storm Adopts MOBA-Standard ‘Armor’ System, Doubles Down on Ranked Play
An easy explanation for why I don’t play many games competitively online:
I usually suck and just want to have fun, but there’s often too many “competitive” types who take it too seriously.
There’s an Internet Show Casting Internet Trolls Sick of ‘Fake Gamer Girls’
Good man! Much like the Grinch, I would also not touch this with a 39 1/2 foot pole. Plus, now we know how to make cookies!
Mankind Divided’s Pre-Order Bonuses are Now Free
Man, I think the last time I got a cool bonus for pre-ordering a game (that wasn’t part of some early adopter edition) was an art book I got withDead Space. It was about 100 pages and came with 3D glasses to view some 3D images in the back.

Yes, it’s a beautiful thing when fun wins out.

Yeah, no, I’m good thanks. I would like to stick with the sexy ladies please!
(Also, thanks to ZombZ for the gifs. He said I didn’t have to credit him, but I do what I want. You’re not my dad, ZombZ!)
PAX South’s Keynote is Brought to You by the Letter ‘D’

Poocy & Yoshi Shorts are Cute as Hell, Easy to Take Out of Context
Nintendo is my favorite unintentionally dirty developer.

I can’t even add anything. They took all the good jokes!
You and me both! More likeOveritwatch!
Mass Effect: Andromeda is Coming in March, Much Sooner Than I Thought!
Enuo made this same joke on almost every post that day. It, uh, doesn’t always work.
With No Price, Release Date, or Real Info, GameStops in Europe are Taking Nintendo Switch Pre-Orders
I know this is supposed to be a troll comment, but it’s more like stating the obvious:
Like Traskin7, I’ve been a fan of Nintendo my whole life and have never been disappointed by its hardware.
Mobile Research Firm Estimates Less than 5% of Userbase Paid for Super Mario Run
Freedom Planet 2 is Still Looking Goooood

Yeah, I don’t get this guy’s line of reasoning at all. We all love Toriyama. Hell, they might as well just call itAkira Toriyama’s Dragon Questover here.
Man, Breath of the Wild’s Link Sure Cleans up Good [sic] After 21 Years
That sure would be nice, but this is Nintendo we’re talking about here. It invented the “super guide” to play games for you.
