I'm gonna need to move up my Xenoblade 2 and X playthroughs. They've both been on my shortlist for ages, which still means they're competing against like 20 other games every time I pick something new to play. I definitely want to get both of them down before XB3. You're missing out, Chrono...

Taking a break for a few days to put in extra work and make some extra money. I'm hitting Arceus hard on Sunday.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did end up being 7 parts, for the synergy, with later parts on a shorter release schedule so the whole thing is done in 2033 or so. I mean, I doubt this will happen but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised. 3 parts is possible, 4 or 5 is likely. I hope we...

Banning people from researching shit would be an interesting spin on this movie, especially with a Rogan type character stand-in who encourages people to think for themselves / research shit and gets slammed as a "far-right extremist" or whatever. I'd like to see a movie like this where the...

Yarp, this. Ever notice how Youtube's autoplay (which you thankfully can turn off) always, ALWAYS moves you straight to a mainstream source after you finish an independent journo type political video? Finish a Styx or Razorfist video, 100% of the time the next thing it does is move you right to...

Elon Musk is the left's ideal billionaire. Pays 100% of his taxes without trying to hide anything, is open and transparent about his money and everything else, and BUILDS AND POPULARIZES ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY CARS. The only thing he's ever done to them is respond to their attacks on him. The...

The main reason Fox is the most-watched outlet is because it's the only mainstream conservative outlet. The rest of them divide up the left-leaning audience. ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN split that audience five ways. There isn't really anything splitting the conservative audience on TV. The...

This movie is clearly about climate change, not COVID. Jesus. I saw bits and pieces of it because someone I know was watching it* while I was over there hanging out. * - I mean they had it on the TV but nobody was really watching it Can't formulate a legit opinion on it due to the "bits and...

Yeah I don't think the next part will end with Junon, that'd be nuts. Kalm Town -> Midgar Environs (whatever landscape they want between Kalm and the Chocobo Ranch) -> Chocobo Ranch - Zolom Swamp -> Mythril Mine -> Junon Forests -> Fort Condor -> Junon City -> Rufus' Boat -> Costa Del Sol ->...

Nope that was the northern town right before you start heading to the ancient city/glacier. There's a FIGHTER JET nose-down in the excavation site, something I've always wondered about and never seen anyone discussing. Does that mean FF7 is supposed to be in Earth's distant future, or that a...

My only question is...where is Feyd? I'm guessing he'll be in Part 2. Wonder who they can cast who will be able to fill Sting's shoes (and codpiece)

Also beat Rez Infinite. This took me way way longer than the purported 2 hours on HLTB. Surprised I didn't get the "play for 10 hours" trophy. The last level is so obnoxiously difficult compared to the rest of the game, plus it's like as long as all the other levels combined. Took many runs at...

Beat Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster. Wanted to run it before Stranger of Paradise came out, with a super-unorthodox party. Monk/monk/black mage/black mage. It was HARD, particularly in the first half of the game. I'm tempted to do more Pixel Remasters on the phone, but I'm hoping for a console...

That raises an interesting question. Do DLCs ever count as a game, under particular circumstances? Like I wouldn't count short DLCs, but one may want to consider MASSIVE DLCs as a separate game. Whether it's Frozen Wilds from HZD, or Iceborne from MHW, or even Annihilation Line from Terminator...

Just watched this. I like that the male characters weren't constantly upstaged by their female counterparts. Just some of the time. Every time Paul had a chance to look strong, it seemed like there was a woman around to correct him. Like Zendaya appearing behind him and saying she could have...

It's always kind of telling when a game has a low completion rate. I was really surprised when Bloodborne had a high completion rate. Not only that, but the level-to-level dropoff in trophies was barely present. Most people who started the game finished it. Some games have rapid dropoffs in...

BDSP is actually a step back. It's inferior visually and innovation-wise to ASOR. Like there's a huge difference between Gen 3 OG and ASOR, and very little difference between Gen 4 OG and BDSP. Barely qualifies as a remake, more of a remaster if anything. Gonna grab Arceus this week, but I hope...

Finished Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. That was a lot of fun and made good use of the DualSense haptic rumble (it isn't just a gimmick, it's seriously good when it gets used). Unfortunately the game is also a glitchy mess. It isn't unplayable like COD Modern Warfare is on PS5 (major bummer that...

Watched half of the Epix version Season 2 (it's 8 episodes) and...it's a lot less interesting than Season 1. The aliens are now mostly just weird human invaders instead of the robot-dogs, maybe to save on budget. With the robot dogs mostly-gone, so goes the scare factor. The show really does...

Switched gears to Dynasty Warriors 8 since I've got that and 9 un-played. I like Warriors games a lot. This one is a little unclear on what constitutes "beating" the game though. There's no trophy for finishing any of the story modes, so I'm not sure if beating the game means finishing one of...

I've got a few Monster Hunters on my backlog so I'm trying to get to those. So far they're just irritating me though. I played some of World in the past and it was good. However Tri Ultimate etc are just so user-unfriendly that I can't believe the series even got a following. No lock-on, no map...

Wardlow is gonna be the future. I met him in person a few months ago and told him that and he was humble AF about it. I'd love to see AEW bring in Shane as an anti-AEW character who is trying to buy the company. It'd be comedy gold. I doubt he wants to completely alienate his dad though.

Season 2 of the Epix series (whichever one that is) is out. The one with Gabriel Byrne and the DARPA robo-dogs. I'm watching it now. Spoiler, sort of, but it'll probably just get you more interested: They put a REALLY interesting spin on the aliens in this version. Turns out they're human or...

Mega Man 10 beaten. That was way easier than MM9, and not as good. 2 points, got 6 now

I'd say don't worry about keeping track of your score or how long things take, we can add all that up at the end. I'm keeping my score as I go but I might just let that go and not worry about it till later. Elden Ring's release date is pretty much the unofficial last day of this month's...

Looking at Sam Neill crawling down the ladder, I wonder if Event Horizon inspired the Muramite legion in Everquest. Sam Neill looks a lot like an Ukun there. I think the Kyv (archers) were inspired by Reavers from Firefly. But yeah, I think the other Muramite designs probably got something from...

Yeah, for me it didn't even matter if the PS5 lineup was lacking, I still bought one at launch just to enhance all the existing PS4 games I had. Like a PS4 Pro on 'roids. Demon's Souls Remake was just a bonus. Speaking of which, where the hell is Bloodborne PS5 60 FPS remaster? I'm legit...

Yeah, literally every game takes me longer than HLTB says it will. I don't take it as gospel so much as a "rough estimate" of the general time range I might be looking at. It's also good for issuing point scores in a contest like this. I'm looking at Skyward Sword and how it says 30 hours for...

I beat Double Dragon 4, which is another half point. "40 minutes" on HLTB but it took me a couple hours. Game is hard! Until you realize there's a way to start at the level before the one you game over'd at. So I had to repeat a couple levels but eventually I got to the end by attrition. That...

I'll draw first blood. Finished Double Dragon Neo. Game is awesome, but it's also one of those games where the final boss is way harder than the rest of the game. Also you can level up, which just means you have to go back and grind to have a chance against the final boss which is kind of...

Soon as we beat the latest EQ expansion, I'm gonna add my /played to the thread and immediately lead with 4,788 points! HAWR

I know what you mean, in 1996 or so I saw a bunch of Skinemax and it fucked me up for a while in terms of making me a way-too-horny early teenager and wanting to bang everything. Like when Louis CK talked about putting his dick in-between the refrigerator and its door as a teenager because he...

Yep, seen all of those. Screamers is a REALLY good one, people need to know that one exists. It's got a little bit of The Thing's DNA combined with a little bit of Terminator DNA and you really can't go wrong with that. I saw Screamers very late (like 2018) and was still blown away by it. Such...

I can very easily see a scenario where Part 2 only goes up to Corel and the Corel prison stuff, with Dyne as the final boss (well "final boss" the way Motor Ball was, there'll be something new after it). Have a feeling Part 2 will be very Barret-centric as is. It'll introduce Yuffie as the sole...

* Darth Vader Noooooooooo.jpg * Yeah I'm in for February, moar backlogs! For the next one I submit that we allow games under the HLTB 3 hour mark, on an honor system of sorts. Like if it's short but it took you a long time it counts. Cause I've got Rez Infinite and FNAF 5 that are both listed...

Beat 'em. Just got to DS2 last year and it was pretty great even for a PS3 game with dated visuals. It's held up really well compared to a lot of others.

It's a weird OCD thing where I have to finish everything I start. I think Spirit Tracks might have finally broken me out of this pattern because it was SO BAD. I had to finish the Zelda series, but at what cost? Well, if they're doing a 3 year release window (that is, IF it'll arrive in Q2...

Yeah, Sunshine is what I meant, not Sunrise. I've seen Alien (all of 'em), many times over. Actually when I got into Space Horror around 2012 with Event Horizon etc, one of the first things I did was get back into the Alien movies. Life and Moon are both AWESOME. I was hoping Life would...

Any other recommended movies that are similar to this? I really like the "existential threat on the edge of space" vibe. Like the vaguely EH-esque Reavers in Firefly/Serenity which were by far the most interesting thing to me in that universe. I've seen Event Horizon, Pandorum, Invasion of the...

Was super-interested in this game (and was going to finally play the original in preparation for it) until I saw that fucking jawline. I might still play the original. She's actually feminine in that one.
