    Super Mario Run

    The game is no longer the top grossing app anywhere in the world. A consulting firm affirms that, had the game cost $2, it would have made around 70% more than what it has made so far. Still, they would have made more with a freemium model. As LTQ said, $2 times 7 is better than $10 times 1...

    If it were any more expensive I wouldn't, but I'll go ahead and buy it.

    I've never had much confidence in McGloin so I pray to all football gods it's not serious. Come on, not in our single good season in 14 years. EDIT: Broken fibula, out indefinitely :'(

    The other website I mentioned was actually down for everyone at that time :P I haven't found other websites that have the problem but I'll do so as soon as I find one.

    Super Mario Run

    People buy the most idiotic stuff once they become addicted to the game (extra lives, power-ups, you name it). Hell, for the vast majority of the games in the top grossing chart I didn't even know you could buy stuff but apparently people spend enough money on them to make them much more...

    Oh yes, I'm not doubting for a second it's gonna sell, I'm just saying it would have made way more money if it had been a freemium game.

    Super Mario Run

    The thing is, this free-to-start model is, in my opinion, not the best option at all. Or at least make it less expensive. Look at Pokémon GO, the game is freemium and at its peak it made USD$10 million a day. In less than three months it hit the USD$600 million mark. Let's take Super Mario 3D...

    Which RPG should I play?

    From my point of view, it's better to go from the oldest to the newest game. My reasoning maybe doesn't apply to Paper Mario games since the style is classic and the new ones are crap, but there are other series where if you play the newest games first and then the oldest you can't help but...

    Is there any reason why we don't use the official art for SSBB Assist Trophies? Our images. The official art (taken from DOJO!!). I don't think there is but it's better to ask before going through with the change. (Thanks to Serpent King for the heads-up on this).

    Strangest wikis you've come across

    Heh. Userpedia has a long and complicated history, but talking only about its creation: there was a time when the MarioWiki was filled with fanfics, comics, and whatnot. This was seen as distracting from the main goal of the wiki, and thus Userpedia was created to host all these fictions...

    I am incredibly happy we won, but I am also terribly ashamed at the behavior of the people in attendance. There are many things they did and it frankly embarrasses me to even list them.

    AFAIK most places now only reject you if you've had tattoos done in the past year, but there are still some other places that reject you if you have any tattoos.

    Your ideas of what the future of video game consoles could actually look like.

    But being serious, I think VR is the future of video games. Or at least I'd love it to be.

    They do if you've had sexual intercourse. They also do if you've had tattoos recently, if you take medications, if you weight under 50kg, if you've had certain illnesses... The hardest part is meeting the requirements.

    I donated blood (for the first time). I encourage anyone who can do it (requirements are pretty strict) to do it at least once; the donation itself is fairly simple and practically painless, and your donated blood can help save the lives of up to four people who urgently need blood.

    2016 NFL Season

    Yeah, my realistic expectation is that we make it to the playoffs. Comparing our schedule to the Chiefs' and the Broncos', I could definitely see us finishing first or tied for first. Possibly going 5-2 in our remaining games (the Chiefs and Texans worry me the most), and finishing 12-4 on the...
