    Reading through the FAQ, seems like pretty much nothing is changing other than ownership (unless they're somehow lying)

    Interesting tidbit from a youtube comment:

    Fun fact; Koji Kondo had originally intended to use Ravel's Bolero on the title screen for Zelda on the NES but they found out it was still [copyright] protected so he had to compose an original song but you can still hear the similarities.

    Here's an article that transcribes him talking about it in an interview (original source was on nintendo.com but the link doesn't work anymore...not going to bother hunting it down).

    I recently finished beating A20 on my 3rd profile. I think I'm still not very good at A20 (other than Watcher Rushdown lol), and when I come back from other games I'm used to winning at, it can feel really frustrating sometimes. At lower levels there's way more room for different build-arounds (and mistakes of course). So I feel like I have more fun down there, but also probably pick up "bad" habits.

    I'd be VERY surprised if sts2 didn't come to mobile, but if Defect is "just" a mod character, you sadly wouldn't have access to them there. Unless... Recently I've seen some videos of people playing their Steam games on Android through one of two apps: GameNative and GameHub. Not sure if they support mods.

    Games that stood out to me:

    • Game Settings reminds me of the meta-ness of Pony Island, tinkering with "system" settings to affect "the game".

    • SKINWALKER: First Blood has some neat pixel art

    • MIRAI #167 looks like it has 2 "runner" type games stacked on top of each other and you need to switch between them to use each character's different moves.

    Epic pays for the free games. Your money won't go there, but Epic's will. I don't know how much makes its way to Rowling.

    Financially they've been wildly successful.

    Lead Designer Mark Rosewater talks on his blog about how it is a very effective pipeline to get new players into the game.

    Sentiment online from entrenched players is somewhat split. I quit the game but I check the subreddit once in a blue moon and still see negative threads about it. But there are also people posting about how excited they are about certain IPs or cards.

    That card (Sazh's Chocobo) is $0.43.

    Avatar had a premiere somewhere on the 1st and releases on the 19th. I don't know much about AFI but maybe they get advance copies too?

    My only demand is that they add a 4th-shot effect to the zat gun. Maybe it rewrites time to make sure the object or person never existed? Not sure how you can hit the target after the 3rd shot...

    My only demand is that they add a 4th-shot effect to the zat gun. Maybe it rewrites time to make sure the object or person never existed? Not sure how you can hit the target after the 3rd shot disintegrates it, but I will leave that to the writers to figure out.
