What, exactly, constitutes being disqualified from the draft?

PAX East is in a week— and we’re gonna be there.

22:11 – The Switch & Batteries

Reports about the Switch’s battery life are out— and naturally people are upset. Despite being pushed as a mobile-console hybrid, of sorts, its battery life is somewhat abysmal. We take a minute to put some battery life issues into perspective.

More reports are in! The physical version of Breath of the Wild is going to run off the cartridge entirely. Nintendo definitely wants to push physical versus digital.

We go over Nintendo’s pre-order practices. In short, don’t cancel pre-orders if you’re going to restock them immediately after.

We don’t have new jingles yet, but we do have plenty of questions.

From Pelar: Strider on NES, or Strider on Genesis?

From Andy: (credit: powerburial on tumblr) Would you rather fight a jock or a nerd? The nerd might pretend you’re his dad, but due to the jock’s exposure to jazz, his movements would be unpredictable.

From Wasabi: What pizza toppings do you hate?

From Andy (again): Any plans for spring break?

From Andy (again, again): Any new bands you’ve been into lately?
