Today
The Division might actually be good, but they're afraid you won't believe them.
Stories
- Ubisoft has been misusing press quotes to make The Division look better than Destiny.
- Nintendo has announced a new Super Expert difficulty mode for Super Mario Maker.
- The Oculus Rift won't work with Macs, because its creator doesn't think Macs are good enough.
- The urban myth about sports game covers strikes again--this time in pro boxing.
- The Coleco Chameleon prototypes turned out to be fraudulent.
Coming Up
The next Kirby game, Planet Robobot, will feature a suit of robotic power armor for its hero. Considering that Kirby is basically a big pink balloon, it seems about time he gets some kind of protection.
Trivia
The "Professor Pigglesworth" Graham refers to in the outro is a long-running Checkpoint inside joke, introduced in August 2011 episode [[1]] and last referenced in the October 2015 episode Five Nights at Funtown. It seems Graham is trying to sell us a pig in a poke.
