‘Pikmin 4’ is in development, and “very close to completion” according to Miyamoto
So Shigeru Miyamoto just dropped in an interview that Pikmin 4 is almost close to completion. Which was a surprise to Pretty Much Everyone, since no one even knew it was in development. Hey. Neat. Cool. But like, could we get that fucking Zelda that we were promised? Oh, no? It’s being totally pushed back slowly onto the next Nintendo system? Great.

The “Oldest Galaxy Ever” has been found, raises questions about the Universe
I love when people far, far, far more intelligent than me are confounded. Like these astrophysicists who have found the “oldest galaxy ever”, with an age “only” half a billion years younger than the Universe itself. And for reasons over my head, AstroLords say this galaxy shouldn’t exist. But it does! Ha! This isn’t schadenfreude, this glee of mine. Rather, my enjoyment of these folks befuddlement is derived from a desire to see the Universe continue to confound. Defy. Be mysterious.
New York Times: New Apple TV to focus on gaming
I’ve been thinking about an Apple TV lately. Not for any good reason. Because I’m a technology glutton, and playing with new gadgets is fun for me. But even though I’m both a) a gamer and b) thinking about an Apple TV, I have to confess that the fact that Apple is focusing on gaming with its newest iteration doesn’t make it any sexier to me. How about you?
Watch: Shigeru Miyamoto explains design behind ‘Super Mario Bros.’ World 1-1. Also known as the most iconic level. Ever.
Goddamn! The mind behind the greatest level of all time takes is inside that Genius Dome-Piece to look at his design process. For, you know. The greatest level of all time.
Monday Morning Commute: My Detox Is Your Overdose
Ah, autumn. Brings with it apparently the hottest day of the fucking year here in Massachusetts tomorrow. But also! The usual meanderings. Football is back, praise the Elder Ones. School is back, praise the Old Things. And with school being back comes my typical beginning-of-the-semester renunciation of caffeine. To an extent. I’ll level with you — I have to get up at 7 am. And while many call that “normal”, I call that “an hour and forty-five minutes before I’m used to.” With the knowledge that I must RISE~ earlier, I’m trying to scale back my caffeine consumption. So I can go to bed at an earlier time. Let me tell you — I still have enough caffeine in my blood to stop your heart twice over — but goddamn if my skull ain’t pounding. My jaw clenching. My eyes twitching. My detox is your overdose, but I’m going to make it through.
I hope.
Anyways! This here is Monday Morning Commute. That means I’m about to list the various activities, arts, comics, and cool happenings I’m looking forward to this week. After I’m done babbling about my poor choices (though I will admit I’m sweating a couple of things this week v. much), you share own weekly interests.
Let’s do this! With clenched jaws and slightly less prominent heart palpitations!
Marvel releasing ‘Star Wars: C-3PO’ one-shot this December, will explain his new red arm
Uhhh. Are we seriously getting a fucking C-3PO one shot in December? That’ll explain where he gets his new red arm? This is totally not a marketing ploy. And before you tell me I’ll read it because I’m a fucking sucker for anything Star Wars, let me interrupt you. I ain’t read half of them new Marvel Warring Stars comics, and I won’t need to read this one to know the reason for 3PO’s red arm. I got the Internet.
‘Fallout 4’ script is bigger than ‘Fallout 3’ and ‘Skyrim’ scripts combined
Goddamn! This is exactly the sort of news I cannot handle. I cannot handle this news because it makes me sweat Fallout 4 so hard. I cannot handle this news because it surely cements the Death of my (Non-Existent) Social Life come this November.
