There were plenty of changes to the rules, actually. And the game is still unbalanced in whites' favour.

Checkers is drunk chess for when you're too drunk to remember all the goddamn rules like knights moving in L shaped patterns.

I've watched Hearthstone quarter-finals today and boy were those some intense matches. Really diverse decks line-ups, unorthodox plays, just all around a great day of e-sports.

how many of the contestants were either korean orphans working for slave wages, or autistic scandanavian people?

I just preordered Star Wars Shoot Mans: Deluxe
:negative:

Not even because of Han Solo's blaster, but because of the prospect of dynamic wallpapers that hopefully play rousing loops of John Williams-esque scores. Something tells me the true power of the dark side is separating fanboys from their money.

the preorder bonuses are so bad. like 75% of them are just unlocks you will get in the first half hour of gameplay. the rest are just skins.

I didn't really have a PS1 (except the used one I bought well into the PS2 era that lasted me about 4 months), so I don't have a nostalgia for that noise.

My nostalgia will always be for this one.

Konami announced that Kojima still works for the company

No word yet on if there will be games if he forms his own satellite company, but Konami's pachinko future is already off to a rough start.

I give the Pachinko thing 6 months before they call it quits, there was already a mass exodus by other game companies from pachinko, because the machines are all played by very old people who were bothered by having nude anime characters and bright colors on their machines and not proper pictures of regular nude women and less flashing lights.

Looking through super special japanese Grandfather social media internet, they hated the new machines with a passion. Too loud, too many lights, the anime girls were ugly to them, and they couldn't masturbate while playing because they felt the machines drew too much attention.

Wash Your hands when you leave one of these places.
