Donkey Kong doesn't descend from apes?

I think Bowser Jr. has pretty serious implications for Bowser's species. He's clearly a young Bowser, which would imply that at no point in his life was Bowser anything like the Koopa Troopas. And Bowser being King Koopa means that Bowser Jr. is likely Prince Koopa, so the dynasty that rules over the Koopas is separate from the Koopas themselves.

Therefore, Bowser is not a Koopa. He may not be a dragon, but he is not a Koopa. (and also not a turtle)

That is the cutest thing I've ever heard.

Yeah, just bought this today. Witch is super fun to play, with a really engaging magic system, but there's a lot of shadiness around this game.

I think the splitting-into-two-games is an interesting pricing structure. On one hand, it's super shady of course, but on the other, paying for character DLC is pretty standard. Also, there's no way I'd have bought this game if it were $30, so if that's what they feel they have to do to get down to the $15 price point, then I guess I'm for it.

Like Axel mentioned, the lack of same-screen co-op is a huge negative for this game. I think it might be a little difficult to have multiple people on the same screen (some characters move around a lot), but all of the advertising materials seem to suggest you would be able to. (Then again, of course it would; no trailers say "This guy over here is not on the same console!")

But I played through the first two single player quests and had fun. I can definitely see this bullet sponge thing becoming a problem, there was a point where I was convinced I was playing my character completely wrong because of how little damage I was doing. It might be fun to grind some quests with a friend, and that might help with the bullet sponginess, too.

This studio is super cozy.

I really, really love Kyle.

I reeeeally hate Pro Strats. I'm sorry. :(

But I can't believe Word of the Day is so low on that poll! Word of the Day was great.

Brutalmoose is the best! His food reviews are so cozy they make me cry. After he stopped doing entirely game-related things, I feel like he really came into his own and made content a thousand times better.

Congratulations!

Well i guess they better get rid of Mario then for being a fat stereotypical Italian who loves pasta!!!

Nobody strolled into Italy murdering everyone that lived there, and then broke the treaties made with the few remaining Italians, which I think is a pretty significant difference.

Also, when is the last time Mario was a fat pasta-loving Italian?
