For most gamers, it will be hard to believe that Nintendo could possibly be marking a century and a quarter on its timeline today.

Retail The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces Price: $39.99 This game is similar to the other flight simulators, but features it’s own pretty different story line.

Apparently this game is pretty good though, so it may be worth a try....

Instead Nintendo plans to focus on smaller, software-focused events rather than one big presentation geared towards an international audience. Along with what we assume will be Nintendo’s usual show-floor presence, will be an event for American distributors and “hands-on experiences for Western gaming media.” Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata broke the news during a financial call, shocking a lot of the gaming press and die-hard fans. Still, despite the general sense of alarm circulating after Iwata’s announcement there is still reason to be optimistic....

“I told Mike after I congratulated him on the contract, “get on your knees and thank God you had the leverage to get this kind of money, and one other thing: You better put on a flak jacket,” Hollins said. “I told Mike, from here on that’s a big target on your chest.” MORE: These are the top 15 point guards, ranked After a wild summer of spending in the NBA, thanks to an unprecedented leap in the salary cap to a record $94 million, nobody is wearing a bigger bulls-eye than Conley....

“Democrats’ socialist stimulus bill caused a labor shortage and now burrito lovers everywhere are footing the bill,” NRCC spokesperson Mike Berg said in the statement. Apparently Republicans have finally found an issue to run on in the 2022 midterm elections. Apparently Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head weren’t gaining enough traction. The Republicans’ tortured logic is that the unemployment benefits in the American Survival Act have caused workers to stay home rather than seek employment, resulting in labor shortages that have forced employers like Chipotle to increase wages, which has required them to raise their prices....

We are happy that Tom Wilson was vindicated and Brayden Schenn is not injured....
