CaptainHammer 09/15/17 12:56:12 PM #289 | Look, I haven't played these Switch games yet. I just know that Doom has multiplayer so it's safe to assume it's a port, and so I'm going to assume Wolfenstein is as well. Who knows if they're good ports? If I had to guess I'd say they probably will run worse than their PS4/XB1 counterparts. But if they're ports, they are still MILES ahead of those half assed ports of last gen games Wii U got and the Wii call of duty games which literally were not the same games as the ones people care about. If Wii ever got a modern warfare it was a shoddy side story but no one knows if they did because no one used their Wii to play Call of Duty. |

CaptainHammer 09/15/17 10:51:04 AM #286 | However if they came out with an Arkham collection on Switch that would be cool because it's portable. Wii U had nothing to offer those old games |

CaptainHammer 09/15/17 10:49:10 AM #285 | Rockies posted... Nintendo's multiplatform track record isn't that bad. They had some CoD games on Wii and Wii U, Arkham and Assassin's creed on Wii U. The problem with those is that they didn't get those consistently, which is what I worry might happen with Switch third-party games. So far, though, it seems like developers have more reason to put their games on the Switch and Nintendo seems to be taking more of an active interest in courting them. Those games were all inferior versions or came out way later. Nobody gave a shit about Arkham City on Wii U like a thousand years after they'd played it on PS3. As a Nintendo fan I was very embarrassed for them when they were touting it |

CaptainHammer 09/14/17 11:46:04 PM #279 | It's insane that Doom can run on Switch and even more insane that they're getting Wolfenstein II less than a year after its release on PS4/XB1. That's the most legit multiplatform release on a Nintendo console since like the EA sports games on Gamecube. It also means all bets are off with Bethesda. Fallout 3 probably isn't far off now and who knows, maybe fuckin Elder Scrolls VI could be a possibility. I doubt the graphics are going to be better than Doom's whenever that game finally releases. |

I hate when they mention a combination like five statistics together (and sometimes not even real stats, just scenarios) to make it sound like something unique happened That is really annoying. Jimmy Rollins won his bullshit MVP in part because he had like the most triples that a man with 20 homers and 20 steals has ever had |

If Reggie said it, it must be true Yeah the fact that they're producing more NES classics is heartening if not yet a full guarantee. It shows they aren't completely stupid at least and maybe means we can believe them sort of about producing more consoles this time. The sad part is I don't ally want the NES one now that it's so inferior |

Same reason tebow was unemployed Tebow was employed far longer than he deserved to be because he was famous. The difference is that Tebow was famous for being a Christian weirdo and Kaepernick is famous for making a political statement that the conservatives in charge of the league can't stomach. Conservatively speaking Kaepernick is 10x the QB Tebow was. If you truly think he's not being black balled you're a fool. |

CaptainHammer 09/05/17 4:13:44 PM #88 | Obama would have beaten Trump and Trudeau can probably beat the crazy person because he like Obama is an epic meme worthy liberal guy. You should only become truly afraid of becoming America 2.0 if the liberal party decides to run one of the least popular people in Canada like ours did with Hillary. Though I also recall you saying (when we met IRL, remember that?) that there's another major party in Canada that's further left so maybe vote splitting is more possible and not just a way to pass the buck in Canada |

CaptainHammer 09/05/17 1:52:59 AM #70 | Rockies posted... I reverse image searched that because apparently I missed it when it happened (or just forgot already), and I thought it looked so absurd it could be fake. Then I got this picture and cringed for a second because I thought with the blurriness that might actually be Rodgers next to the Rodgers jersey: Rodgers is too woke. Dude went to a Bernie rally last year and in his ESPN profile this month he said Kaepernick is being blackballed. I feel you on that Elway fear though. As my brother is fond of recalling, the Cubs went to visit Trump just for fun this year after having already visited Obama. Just like when they were in town and wanted to hang out with him. The vast majority of white pro athletes voted for him but probably especially in baseball with a lot of those players coming from the south, but what's worse is that they're in that sadly huge pool of Trump voters who just think he's cool and smart. So my point is that I feel you on the living in fear of a pro athlete you root for coming out and saying that Trump is good |

CaptainHammer 08/30/17 2:58:14 PM #449 | A Stanton trade would likely be in the off season. As for Leake getting dealt, your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the Cardinals' goals. They should have traded him a month ago when his numbers still looked decent. I don't care about losing him but between this and Lynn walking and a host of other things their current motives are an enigma to me. |

CaptainHammer 08/29/17 5:28:31 PM #440 | We hadn't gotten off sports in a couple days until Sonic came up again for whatever reason. Anyway the Cardinals, an organization that for all I know could have a billion dollar valuation, have pledged to match Matt Carpenter's donations! They probably won't need to spend even $50k! And in other extremely weird and bad news on the same subject, did you guys see that the Rangers forced the Astros to give up a home series? Rangers@Astros is starting up and obviously they can't play in Houston so the Astros asked if they could play a home series in Arlington and then the Rangers could play a home series in Houston later and they said no. Now they're playing in Tampa Bay and all proceeds are going to the relief effort which is nice but damn how unneighborly can you be Rangers |

CaptainHammer 08/28/17 5:02:54 PM #421 | Have I become too cynical or is it annoying when an athlete pledges donations based on some arbitrary performance thing? It's one thing when it's like an organization and you sign up to for example donate per strikeout you record all season and it's kind of a fun thing for everyone but Matt Carpenter pledged 10k to Houston relief per home run he hits from here. This is nonsense, right? Why not just donate 70k and be done with it |

CaptainHammer 08/22/17 6:22:54 PM #333 | I have no clue how licensing works in games but if it's similar to movies Square-Enix is probably set to take a percentage of the cut on each unit sold. The other option is that Nintendo paid out huge sums to the companies upfront and they don't get any money on the back end but that's probably not what happened because these are big companies and lifetime sales should make for a bigger sum in the end than the one off licensing fee. HOWEVER. If Square and Capcom have it in writing that only X number of units will ever be produced then I suppose the big pay out is probably better given that lifetime sales couldn't possibly eclipse a certain number in that case. |

CaptainHammer 08/22/17 3:36:46 PM #331 | There's something weird going on with Nintendo and their classic catalogue these days and it's very upsetting to watch and take part in as someone who likes Nintendo games. It might not be cost effective for them to sell these things with licensing, but if that's the case I have two questions: why make these at all, and if you must make them why not charge a rate that you can make money off of? Sell em for $120 and people will whine and still buy it |
