- Mobile games are a cash grab. They serve one purpose generating revenue.
- Based on gambling tactics, gachapon , etc
- Shawn: But Jared, Nintendo has made lot of “mobile games”
- Jared: Yes, however they weren’t fueled by simple touch mechanics and micro-transactions.
- Warioware is an example of really appropriate “mobile game”
- Companies have moved marketing beyond showing value but rather hype
- Vaporware, Early Access (Mention No Man’s Sky?)
- Companies not listening to fans?
- Alienating the mainstream or hurting the core?
- Who does this benefit?

Outro Music : Pokemon – Gotta Buy Them All – Collegehumor
Aquaman was actually pretty fun and aesthetically pleasing. It had its meh moments, but overall not bad. Second best movie of the DCEU, after Wonder Woman. (Note: I’ve only watched these and Man of Steel, and I only presume the other movies to be meh or awful based primarily on trailers, selected actors, and hearsay.) 🙂
Also, “Thanksbuying” is now what I will call the holiday going forward.
I meant the Aquaman comment for the next ep, which I listened to back-to-back with this one. Whoopsy…
Also, I meant to mention that Tetris Effect is a visually stunning game while being fun to play. It’s quite an experience! The journey mode is challenging (but in a fun way!); I think the sudden level changes make it interesting, along with the different colors and themes. Such a neat, modern take on a classic game. Five stars.
So you would say, that you “got gud” for those sudden speed changes? 😉
We can’t all play at god-tier like you, Jard. I’m mid-tier at best. lol
