Players whose disconnect percentage rises above 15 percent in ranked multiplayer matches will be sent to “jail,” after which point they’ll need to wait 24 hours before they can restart their life as a decent member of society. While locked away, these players will only be matched against other jailed members....

Still, every time I see a Magic card I can’t help but think that it used to be fun back in the day to whip guys at the game just to see the look on their faces. Fear my blue/white deck, noobs!

This thinly veiled excuse allows the developers to pull anything from across the Marvel multiverse. It’s fairly standard “reason for a cross-over event” stuff, and Galacta, daughter of Galactus, appears to be our host for these events....

Man, I hope the Switch gets a follow-up Kid Icarus: Uprisingdeserved a sequel on the New 3DS. It was one of the best games I’ve played in the past 10 years or so, despite the occasional cramping due to the controls — but I even managed to get used to it with huge hands on an original 3DS. Either way like a lot of iconic Nintendo franchises the series is in limbo, and paraded out occasionally for promotions like this one....
