Editor's note: We are not saying that it's cool a guy died, we are saying its cool he lived so long. Guess which Switch 2 game sold the most so far! (Just kidding, you already know) The Ubisoft Halifax closure definitely has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they unionized. Pure coincidence. We are deeply surprised at how many GameStops are still open. Tell us your fav Pokemon and Zelda...

Steam's Android version will be available before GTA. ...is this Half-Life 3? Turns out highlighting up-and-coming devs doesn't make you richer. Who knew? Square-Enix doesn't like their customers, but they do like AI. Come play with us!

PVZ remake dropped the ball.  Are remakes ever amazing? (Robert says rarely) East vs West remakes, is there a quality difference? Krafton is on team AI! We are not.  Words like 'premium" and "high end' = crazy expensive for not much higher quality.  Valve crashing their game's economy = sad players. Come play with us!  

We should have a fake beef with another developer, you know, just for fun. Any suggestions? The Silent Hill f soundtrack is cursed and they are doing everyone a favor by pulling it.  Nintendo hacked by lame, ineffectual hackers. They deserve better.  More hackers tell us that Pokemon will be releasing a new game in the next few years. Not all heroes wear capes.  Wow, Robert has some strong opinion...

Tiny babies are the only ones even near the game industry that don't know what an embargo is.  So much Mario that people don't care about.  The plot of Kirby Air Riders is so complex that they need an entire Nintendo Direct to explain it. Robert is apparently not clairvoyant, so sad! Dragon Quest 7 is the worst Dragon Quest game (send all complaints to Robert@zeboyd.com ). Samus can open a door wi...

Robert is sure the new Mario game will be announced today. And KH4? Countries other than Japan and the US make videogames??? There is a saint of videogames, and he seemed like a good guy.  Can violence in videogames be a release and not an instigator? Come play with us!

Apparently we are still on the whole "doling out monetary punishment for our personal morality" stuff (*sigh*). Be super careful with your thumbnails, guys (regular sight should have caught that one). Tower defense with dinosaurs, who could want more?!
