    Retro Game of the Month December 2017: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)

    Yeah, after my party got wiped out I realized I probably had to use the psycho-wand. In one of the Square RPGs a character would have commented about the psycho-wand before or during the fight, or when you whiff on an attack it would have a message hinting at why. Really though, my main gripe...

    Retro Game of the Month December 2017: Phantasy Star IV (Genesis)

    I was in the basement of Zio's fort, working my way towards the Nurvus center. I take a step, a cut scene starts, and Zio appears and begins battle without giving me any option of escaping. He seems immune to all my attacks and insta-kills my guys in a single attack. Earlier in the game a...

    I'm not sure I've ever actually had a "regular" taco Bell item. They do so many and so frequent specials that I always end up getting whatever the current one is. I guess Doritos locos tacos might be the only staple I ever get, but that's always in addition to whatever the special is.

    So I pet battled today and had my go-to team of ikky (flying), horde fanatic (humanoid), and small frog (aquatic). Guy I was facing had an undead, a flying, and a magic pet. Basically, the worst comp for me to face with my team. I always start with ikky, because black claw + flock is an...

    I've never had ketchup chips, but my boss is Canadian and we were chatting at lunch today. The topic of chips came up, and I told her my internet friends said ketchup chips are good. She excitedly exclaimed that they're awesome and that my internet friends are right.

    Good recommendation. I picked up a bag of these for dinner last night. Surprisingly, I thought they were pretty decent. To me, they tasted kind of like a blend of traditional nacho cheese and spicy sweet chili. I thought they had a good cheese flavor with a hint of sweet spice. I'd put them...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Modeling language mistakes only works if the speaker actually notices the mistake. Generally, modeling (i.e., recasting the language mistake using the correct form) has one of the lowest success rates for correcting the error, because the speaker simply doesn't even realize an error has been...

    Those just recently started showing up at my local grocery store, too. I'd heard about them in Canada for a while, but only the last few months have I seen them here. I quite enjoyed them as well. A very interested mix of flavors.

    Marvel's Jessica Jones

    She mentions in the trailer that she killed someone, so it's probably like a guilt-based ghost/hallucination of him taunting or her something. Killing him in the first season was probably a mistake, because I would have loved for him to come back for real as a surprise/secondary villain in...

    Nacho Cheese Doritos are the single best snack chip to ever have been invented. They will never be topped. My feelings on Cool Ranch are well known. I've been devouring Kettle Brand chips lately, and I really wish they were all crinkle cut. Some are traditional cut, and they just don't quite...

    I'd love for them to go the multiple earths route in future movies. The DC tv shows (Arrow, Flash) have done multiple earths really well, so I imagine Marvel could do it even better. Not only would that be a way to get newly acquired characters into the MCU, but it would also give great fodder...

    Man oh man I've only ever cried during one movie in my lifetime, but the end of this is probably the next closest I've come to shedding a tear. This was a damn, damn good movie.

    I put several more hours into this last night. The more I play it, the more I'm enjoying it. I think I'm finally getting used to it and how it is different as compared to most SNES rpgs (read: Final Fantasy). I'm really enjoying the world and story. I love that they are going all in with space...

I looked at a few different towns/shops for some kind of rez item, but didn't find anything. So I googled and it looks like you only get a spell and...

    Regrets

    When I was a kid I chickened out of going up into the St. Louis Arch. That was like 25 years ago now and I still regret it. Doubly so because my brother went up into it, and he reminds me about it to this day. I need to get back there and do it at some point.

    I hated the reimagining of classic EQ zones. I wanted a sequel to EQ, not a completely different game with nothing in common. I think a lot of people had the same issue. The world was completely unrecognizable, and the only way you would have even known that it was connected to EQ was the names...

    Curb your Enthusiasm

    Larry doesn't care about the amount of money. It is the principle of it. That is perfectly in line with his character. He wasn't happy about being extorted by the shucker, but he had no other choice. In typical Larry fashion, he had to win against Lin so he needed the ticket back.
