Kirby is named after a lawyer

The lawyer that win the Universal Donkey Kong lawsuit. The thing is they named him that because the Lawyer was apparently really not like Kirby at all and they thought it was funny but now we all just associate the name with the character.

It's fun enough. Don't go to it looking for good mysteries, cause it doesn't have those. But for a different take on the Pokemon setting it's pretty neat.

Not sure if anyone remembers the game The Quiet Man from E3 but it was released yesterday and holy poo poo is it a mess. Lots of reviews are calling it "The Room of videogames" and after going through it they are spot on

Oh nice, Cities Skylines is in the new Humble Monthly! That game has always interested me but it's just been a little too expensive, plus the dlc is all pretty pricey as well.

I dunno much about the gameplay up to now but the setting is rad af. Plus he was very funny from what I played. There's a running gag where only the player character understands him that made me laugh

I heard they estimate it will be around 15 hours, which is a good game length for my working adult life. No minimap to increase immersion is a bit concerning, though. I'm fine with it being Darksoulsders, but maps are good.

Also Fury is supposedly the most powerful horseman.

That's about the same length of time it took me to finish Bayonetta.

I hope she has a horse summoning button but it never actually summons a horse because she's always somewhere that is no place for a horse.

God of War came out in 2005 with the amazing main menu that's just Kratos' face then the camera zooms out and you're in the game. A year earlier Half-Life 2's main menu was a scene from whatever chapter you last saved in. In 1988 Super Mario Bros. 3's main menu is an entire animated segment.

All of this is to say that it really pleases me when a game's menu is a static picture with poorly aligned text.

The old-school RESIDENT EVIL main menus were the best because the voice line would be mixed at least 40 decibels higher than the ambient music. Put you in the right mood immediately.

Why do they even do BlizzCon any more? Just make a shorter e-sports event or whatever if that's the only thing you're doing besides announcing characters in a released game, a mobile game no one wanted, and having your only somewhat exciting thing be a remake of a game.

I think they skipped Blizzcon one year because there was nothing new to announce, prolly should have done the same here.

They're the ones the mobile game is for.

But now watch it not even be released in certain parts of Europe because of how the revenue-making mechanics work.

My coffee warned me about it.


Mobile Diablo is trash but will make tons of money. Blizz saw how many units games like Dungeon Hunter or Eternium push and made their own thing. Additionally item shops are a total norm on mobile so they could put all auction houses they wanted into ti and people would praise them for it - I'm surprised it took them so long.
