Oh man, you're lucky you get to play these for the first time. Yakuza 0 is awesome and still my favorite. Yakuza Kiwami continues that story to a pretty satisfying conclusion. Then Kiwami 2 looks incredible and has a great villain. I liked those first 3 the most. The rest all kinda do their own...

Wow, fuck Walmart. @Cad This has to be a wrongful termination lawsuit, "code of conduct" be damned, am I wrong?

Jesus. I should tell my mom about the remote computer thing too. She doesn't know any of this. Yes the rustle is the made up name. Yes she has Norton. Yes I've told her she doesn't need it. Not sure how they would know that she has it unless Norton sold her number.

My latest conundrum: My mom's dentist's receptionist is this gorgeous Brazilian girl, probably about 24-26 (so well over a decade my junior, not that it matters much 'cause everybody thinks I'm 28-30ish anyway until they find out otherwise). We had such a good rapport the two times I ever met...

What worked for me back when I bothered with that crap: Take things offline as quickly as possible. Slow burns and romance are fuckin' dead and buried, at least on those apps. Send something funny as the first message that they might actually read/respond to (a question is good), then when you...

Simon's Theme, IIRC, which appears in all the Castlevanias but I think this is my favorite version of it (PS1 CV remake). Especially considering the stage before this is incredibly hard, so when you reach this final section the music is ultra-triumphant and pumps you up.

Ys 3's final battle theme is one of the best battle themes I've ever heard in a game. Here it is evolving over the zillion versions of Ys 3 on various systems with various sound chips...

If this is the track I'm thinking of, it's the only time a game has made me emotional in a long time now. Edit: It actually isn't the one I'm thinking of. Here's the part that got me emotional:

Yeah they really do look awful. Lily is like the only attractive female character. Is this a dude or a chick? I honestly have no goddamn idea. Pretty sure "Marisa" is a chick They turned Ken into a depressed homeless man, nice Well, at least Cammy still looks really hot Until I see her...

Tried this game out, first thing I see is this purple-clad tranny announcer. Can't even play a basic arcade mode without registering a Capcom ID or something, says "add-on content not found" whatever that means, maybe arcade mode is DLC IDK Also I hate most of the outfits WTF happened

The Deus Ex series kinda fell apart later on anyway. There was the weird mobile game, and then I found Mankind Divided to be very unenjoyable for some reason. Possible I just played it wrong though, who knows.

Yeah, Prometheus had an alternate script that was better. Terminator Salvation also had a (mostly) better alternate script that actually had laser guns (wielded by primitive T-400s) and proto HK tanks. Except it got super-weird in the final act with an HK pursuing JC through some sort of posh...

The way Indian scammers with thick Indian accents always have a super-American name. My mom got a call from "Mike Smith" with a thick Indian accent from Norton Antivirus Tech Support asking if she bought something and then offering a $200 refund when the answer was no. She got partway through...

Wouldn't it be better to play MW1 Remastered? Unless they messed something up / censored it? I'm guessing WAW is a WW2 game, and if it's a similar level to the later CoD: WW2 game I'm down. Release order is a good idea, unless the MW or BO trilogies each follow a narrative thread between them...

I think they kind of combined some brawler aspects with RPG aspects in this one. Which is fitting because they combined the Kiryu series with the Ichiban series. LAD Gaiden is basically Yakuza 7.1, what Kiryu was doing during Yakuza 7. I definitely recommend playing it first, especially if you...

What's the best way to play Modern Warfare (the original trilogy, not the new ones) at this point? -Modern Warfare 1 Remastered on PS4 is the best way to play that one AFAIK? -Modern Warfare 3 hasn't had any kind of remaster so I'd need to play that on PS3? Or wait a while to see if they put...

Yakuza 8 is out. Looks pretty awesome, almost like a modern Earthbound.

Yup. I loved World of Warcraft growing up (though I fell out a bit once I realized the game was so easy that I could run into a pack of 4+ mobs and AOE them down before I died, facetanking them all the while, as a MAGE, circa WOTLK) Tried "catching up" a couple years ago, barely got through BFA...

It was over seven years ago so my memory was off on certain specifics. Edited the post to admit its wrongness.

Looked it up. Damn, I was wrong about the bum leg. I should double check things before I call out media outlets for not double checking things. I definitely saw "Parkinsons" mentioned in news chyrons about the reporter at the time, so that might have been the initial knee-jerk reaction by those...

This would be outstanding if it were Aerith and Tifa. Hell just photoshopping the one on the left to be Aerith would work, given that that clearly isn't a guy's body.

That gif and that news headline were the #1 thing people cited in 2016 exit polls as reasons why they didn't vote for Trump. The #1 reason given for not voting for the guy... was a bullshit news story. They went beyond this and said it was a reporter with parkinsons, turns out the reporter just...

I mean you're not wrong, everything's a fuckin' challenge in Rajaland for one reason or another. Learned long ago not to take it for granted when something actually works right on the first go. The T is off of the only wall connection, between the sink and toilet. Running the shower on hot...

Selling old games on Ebay that I'm never gonna play again is fun, given the prices they fetch these days and just seeing how high they go on auctions. Until someone cancels a purchase right after winning the auction. Grats, you just wasted 7 fucking days and a bunch of people's time. I think...

Until someone can produce a study showing that women are in fact better at multitasking, or that men are, this is a dumb "debate" that nobody is going to win.

This solves one of the big problems with VR, that moving around in any direction will cause you to collide with everything around you. I've thought for a while that the future of VR is some sort of cranial implant where you really think you're inside the game world, ALA USS Callister in Black...

What's rustling me: Drop-down menus that ask you what your language of choice is, and have English buried way the fuck down the list under a bunch of obscure dialects. Or have United States buried way down the list next to Yemen. These things should be first on the list, right there at the top...

Couple of retrospective videos about the Ultima series, more on the way.

^ Is this actually true? Because I can't even control two different games at once with my left and right hands. One or the other can be controlled at any given time but during that time the other is basically immobilized. I've tried. I've also tried playing 2P games with both controllers at...

Reached the endgame, and damn, this is one good game. I don't know where I'd rank it in the Fromsoft catalog, but for a little while I had it second only to ER overall and maybe even above ER on gameplay. However the lack of build variety and weapon variety means I'll probably replay this the...

Another one. Two Elden Ring runs at once, with a controller and dance pad. Not even sure how the human brain can process that.

I've got one of those modded Wiis. It's super useful. Can play every (good) NES, Game Boy, Genesis, and SNES game on it. Wii Classic Controller works decently well for all of the above as well, sort of a SNES controller with enhancements. How is Wii emulation these days? I'd like to play the...

Probably Infrasound. Yeah, I don't know about that one. Of all the potential explanations it makes the least sense to me.

These videos are compulsively entertaining to watch for some reason

So... did anything happen? Did you take any of the advice from the thread and it failed, or did you not ask, or she turned out to be a hermaphrodite, or what?

This. People who work in restaurants bang each other all the time. Some good friends of mine are married to people they met as co-workers when they all worked in restaurants 10-15 years ago. Hell, it's more unusual when co-workers at a restaurant aren't banging each other at all. Usually at...

Toto C2 arrived, installed it. Had to have the plumber do it because Toto voids your warranty if you install it yourself and something goes wrong / breaks in the installation. Works pretty well, but I wish it had more pressure. Even with pressure turned to max it's more like dainty feminine...

Anyone know what this is from? Keep seeing it popping up in image searches for Everquest stuff. It looks like it might be official artwork. Is that Firiona Vie being all... evil? I don't recognize the hot harpoon lady or the cloaked figure either. Looks like an expansion cover, but I don't know...

It's so random too. Did Grimling Forest have some kind of connection to Star Wars? Like an Ewok Village or something that I missed? I don't remember anything that looked at all like Vader outside of the gaoler mobs in PoP.

What about attack power boosts from bosses? I assume those can be re-collected in NG+, since Attack limit is 99 while Vitality is 20.
