    December Holiday Festivus Retro GOTM - - Final Fantasy

    you said you've only ever done the NES prior, right man? the magic system is the main reason i went with PSX. i played through the GameBoy Advance version once last year, and it was SO damn easy. basically the only way to get a challenge out of any version GBA or later is to do some sort of...

    Tuco vs. MusicForFish - i think he'd actually enjoy having the award tho Utnayan vs. Picasso3 - Ut is too much of a bro to me Lanx vs. Butthurt - good guy but too racist and too much heavy handed advice Mudcrush Durtfeet vs. Zapatta - Zap supporting Lanx in the amod thread recently did it for...

    Everquest - Coirnav Progression Server

    yeah man, Luclin was an incredibly grindy expansion with very little actual interesting stuff to do while grinding. it was the pinnacle of Verant/SOE's idea of making things harder by adding timesinks rather than by creating difficult mechanics. even the trash mobs in the raid zones, (after...

    Death of a Game - Everquest franchise

    i wonder how the big wigs at SOE felt when, first they thought they were so amazing and were king of all things MMORPG, and then World of Warcraft came along and showed them that they had only achieved maybe 10% the potential of the genre at best

    Maniac

    The only complaint I have about this show is I feel like it never quite figured out exactly what it wants to be? But in a way that's also one of it's advantages. Definitely one of the weirder shows out there. I liked it quite a bit, kind of feel like it deserves a second viewing but I'm not...

    Made it to Pravoca, but first made the side trip to Matoya's Cave to rob her chests of potions while she's still missing her eye and can't see me thieving.

    Just saw this about the phone version: Otherwise it seems to be largely identical to the PSP version. This page has an extremely detailed breakdown of the differences between every version, if anyone is still weighing their options: Final Fantasy/Version differences

    Yeah these PSX graphics are actually Wonderswan Color level graphics, it's a direct port of that. I'm going to try some different filters to get it looking better. I'm playing it since it's closer to the original difficulty and has the original magic system.

    Who has the best wings? Just had some Pizza Hut garlic parmesan wings that were seriously delicious. Significantly better sauce and bigger wings than BDubs.

    Installed a very old emulator called PSXeven and got it to work beautifully. Every other one either crashed or wouldn't recognize my controller. I'm stoked boys (and Vanessa)!

    well, i really WANTED to play the PSX version, but i'm having one hell of a time getting a PSX emulator to work... any good ones out there besides ePSXe, PSXR, and Menanfen?

    @Xadion should we establish some sort of loose "schedule" to try to keep us all on the same page for discussion purposes? Reddit play-alongs tend to have a milestone for each week. say, get the first crystal by next Monday or some such?

    i haven't started my playthrough yet. already did it once this year (on NES) but i want to play along with you guys. i always end up going Warrior / Thief / WHM / BLM... should probably try something different this time, but you end up losing out on so many good items if you do anything...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    the good news is that the reason my inventory filled up is i did a pull on the first FFX banner and pulled Tidus Brave USB and LMR, and Wakka USB -- all three of which are Water+ items, two of them armors :) also Auron LMR, but even despite having his USB with the unique debuff i almost never...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    the EXP formula is an extremely faithful recreation of EQMac, which itself was pretty close to PoP era EQ. the big difference is the group EXP bonus, which is increased dramatically for groups of four or more. i believe the yellow-con EXP is era-accurate regardless of if we're talking about...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    well hell i'm admittedly a bit of a hoarder, but i try to keep it reasonable. every so often i prune my inventory thoroughly by sorting for each stat with synergy active and getting rid of excess items... i.e. i keep only my five best swords for each realm, but also might keep say three axes...

    MTG: Arena

    how's this for an RNG anomaly... i have at most two of any Mythic Rare card, except for Chance for Glory, which the game just gave me my FIFTH copy of. not a single copy was earned via wildcard or draft. game really wants me to play WR i guess?
