It's really egregious how Goldberg wasn't even looking as he threw the kick. Just a wild kick out into space, "he'll know what to do" As a Goldberg fan, I really wish we'd gotten Goldberg vs Warrior in WCW. Preferably in 1998 when it would have been huge and really mattered (but Hogan had to...

Naw R-Type 3 was just ridiculous. The first level wasn't bad, pretty standard. Then it just puts the pedal to the medal. Level 2 is super hard but a kid with tenacity could get through it eventually due to the infinite continues and continuing from checkpoints. Good luck getting much further...

And yeah, there's also this aspect. This show is already almost inevitably going to underperform, and they'll put the nail in the coffin by having the show preach about racial issues within the first couple of episodes. (Usually the first episode is really good to get people on board, then it's...

Probably this, yes. It doesn't have to be "another crack in the foundation of the West", it's just somebody trying to cash in on an old show that was wildly successful. This'll probably last one season and then quietly go away, like so many other reboots ("24" is a good example because they did...

I always thought The Powers That Be wanted all of us happy/complacent/distracted by entertainment media. "Panem et circenses" and all that. Given that Americans are some of the least-rebellious people of all time, it worked. This idea that they actually want us miserable is a new one to me, and...

Gradius 3 is incredibly difficult. Did you play it on that new PS5 Gradius Collection that quietly dropped in August? That has the best version, the arcade version. If not I'd recommend picking that up and playing the other Gradiuses. If emulating, SNES has Space Megaforce (insanely good...

80 year olds really shouldn't be driving

What's this about? AI datacenters are delaying the PS6? I've been wondering why we haven't heard anything about it, since we're like a year away from Sony's usual seven-ish year system cycle being up. PS1 - Five years as their main system PS2 - Seven years PS3 - Six and a half years PS4 - Six...

FF8 I'll always have a soft spot for. It came out the first week of High School. The characters going to what was basically a high school / military academy was something I could really relate to. ....unlike now, when every third fucking RPG takes place in a Japanese High School or equivalent...

Are the DLCs worth playing in Nioh 1 or Nioh 2? I played through the DLCs in both Stranger of Paradise and Wo Long, and I kinda hated most of them. In both cases they had 3 DLCs and the first was pretty cool, only to fall off a cliff with the 2nd and 3rd. SoP had so much gear-flation that you...

Xenoblade 2: Come for the huge particle effects and numbers obscuring everything, stay for the constant yelling clips from all of the characters all at once as you have 8 characters acting in battles. Good luck hearing the music over their cacophonous din of not being able to shut the fuck up...

Rebirth is so, so much better than Remake. I say this as a big Midgar fan who wished the original had done more with it (before FF7 came out, I thought the entire game took place in Midgar, and was disappointed when we left after five hours and never saw the upper level or 80% of the overall...

I picked the electric bird at the beginning instead of the Brute. Got a couple hours in and have yet to see another Brute spirit, they're all just Feral. Considered starting over, but it probably isn't necessary.

I spent quite a bit of time duping items in Elden Ring. Do multiplayer, drop a bunch of things, then reload a cloud save and do it again. Was able to get a massive amount of souls and two of every major DLC weapon. Was awesome. FF12 is IMO a much better game than FF9. FF12 has MMORPG style...

Feels like Nioh 2 enemies track you way more than Nioh 1. Like the first couple bosses would take these giant swings, hesitate, and actually rotate following my character all the way around before they slammed the attack. It's a ridiculous amount of tracking. I'm guessing you're supposed to rely...
