Reggie: 2018 isn’t the end of the line for the 3DS

LAST STOP! When the Switch rolled around, Nintendo vowed to support the 3DS throughout 2018. That’s…about a year and some change left on the system, based on that statement alone — but speaking to IGN at E3, Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime stated that they plan on helping it out beyond that. Seemingly meaning what he said that Nintendo sees the 3DS as an entry level device that will stick around in spite of the Switch (seemingly, because he’s said a lot of things in the past), he stated: “We’re going to continue to bring new content, and that’s what’s going to keep this device vibrant and keep it going well into 2018 and beyond....

Roma to receive a day-and-date theatrical release on 100 screens

That is not enough screens, Netflix Netflix is in a bit of a tiff with the Academy Awards, which require that all movies up for nomination have at least a week-long theatrical run. The outcome of this is that Netflix is basically releasing their awards contenders in theaters at the bare minimum level, and for the most part I’m fine with that, but not in the case of Alfonso Cuarón’sRoma, a movie that by all reports —including our own— needs to be seen on the biggest of big screens with the best of sound systems possible....

Soon, Agent 47 will be able to access his equipment offline

THE INTERNET IS DOWN!!! WhileHitmanseason one may be a really solid entry in the series, the always online requirement has been terrible. Regardless of whether or not you own the content, you cannot access your equipment or make any level progression if you aren’t currently connected to the internet. It makes for a situation where your internet may go out and you’re left with wasted hard drive space. It also makes no sense in a realistic manner, seeing as how Agent 47 should be on top of where his gadgets are....

Steam’s Summer Sale is over, what games did you grab?

It’s getting hot in here It’s impossible for me to think of the summer months without my mind wandering towards the cover ofThese Days are Just Packed. It’s my favorite of theCalvin and Hobbescollections, a series that holds the distinction of being one of the few things my brother and I willingly shared. We read through them dozens of times as kids. Anyone who’s familiar with Bill Watterson’s work onCalvin and Hobbesknows that almost every panel in the storied comic has a special kind of mid-summer magic to it....

The Equalizer 2 trailer with Denzel: not about a man, his coffee, and his artificial sweetener

CIA assassin forced to use his skills for revenge, again Denzel Washington has basically always been better than everyone else in his movies. He’s smarter (Crimson Tide), faster (The Book of Eli), deadlier (Man on Fire), handsomer (all of them), and wittier (Training Day). Even when he’s not getting the best of someone (Inside Man) he’s still getting the better of someone else. It’s therefore no surprise that Denzel has a franchise likeThe Equalizerto his name....
