    Interdasting. I'm gonna try running a Super Metroid with that at some point in the near future. I'll do a trial run-through to jog my memory and then an actual speed run to get my area times recorded for future plays. It could be a lot more interesting than my usual "see if my final time is...

    The vet appointment was also a pre-existing vet appointment. So it isn't like it was an emergency vet appointment called to check Larry for post-brawl injuries. They happened to find an issue during a routine appointment and somebody attributed that to the brawl, but we're only now hearing...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Might be thinking of the second one. The third is more of a traditional RPG (and the best one). I THINK the first one is too. I barely remember the first, except that it didn't have much music and all my friends and I thought it was Xenogears Episode 1 so we were playing it like six hours a day...

    What are you playing?

    What about Arena? I liked Arena a LOT. It doesn't even look that bad in the modern era, somehow. Had friends try to get me into Oblivion over the years but it wasn't until Skyrim that I got really into the series (watching friends play it). That's when I went back to the beginning. ES Arena was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Sounds to me like Ardenweald and Korthia are the main zones worth doing. I heard Ardenweald looked incredible. PUGs in WoW seem better this go-around than I remember. Maybe it's because the content is so unbelievably easy, but I haven't had any issues with groups wiping out over idiocy. I...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Maybe I'll hold off on playing more until then, to give me more levels in Shadowlands? 42 now so it might not even matter, given that SL starts at 48 (?) and I'm nearly there. Good to see that it's indeed free now. They did that super quietly (nothing about it on the launcher) which might mean...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    This is, literally, what friends of mine say about Trump and the 2020 election. It's a tough sell to go on about Bellwether Counties and whatnot that they've never heard of, or laws being changed at the last minute. They want to see definitive proof. Why wouldn't they? Puts me in a tough...

    What are you playing?

    You playing the Elder Scrolls collector's edition box set on PC? I haven't played any of the ES games on console, but I played the first two in that box set. Daggerfall was such a complete mess of bugs that I ended up uninstalling it and downloading a shareware ROM online instead, which worked...

    What are you playing?

    How does this work? Is it a program that runs alongside the game, or is it Twitch with a regular capture box or what? Are you playing on OG hardware or SNES Classic or emulator? Also how does the game know when you've passed one of the milestones on the list? Do you have to remember to hit a...

    Of course it's a lie. Most likely, the dog already had loose teeth, being an older dog, and this was attributed to the brawl by Punk. He likely believes himself about it too. He needs professional help.

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    The Mana Beast is probably a translation thing, like FF7's "attack when its tail is up!" being the opposite of what you're supposed to do. I didn't even know it was killable without using Mana Magic. The end of Xenogears Disc 1 is actually a potentially good stopping point and feels like the...

    Larry: "Alright Phil, if we're gonna get people back on our side, you gotta hit me." Punk: "What?" "Hit me! And make it look good! DO IT!!" "No! I'm not gonna do it Larry! I love you!" "Right in the front teeth! Do it! DO IT!" "NO! I WON'T DO IT LARRY! I WON'T!" "DO IT, PUSSY! DO YOU...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Just remembered an almost ruined-game. God of War Ascension. Trials of Archimedes, near the end of the game. That part was so goddamn ridiculously hard. Took me like two hours before I finally lucked into a win. It's right at the end of the game, before the final boss, and totally slows the...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    This brings back a deep forgotten memory. I think I played this as a kid. I loved RPGs like this that were like 90% imagination and featured micromanaging of levels and equipment.

    Noticed a fair amount of people seem to be in the camp that Punk's behavior was justified and that The Elite are a backstage cancer and it's all their fault for spreading rumors and holding people back. I have one friend who thinks that the people criticizing Punk are just "AEW fanboys" upset...

    In FF12's newer Zodiac Age version, there's some kind of trial mode where you play a series of battles with your characters from the main game (then take whatever you get back to the main game). I was able to totally jack up the game and make my characters OP with this. Near the beginning once...

    Playing Bloodstained. Really good game, sort of Symphony of the Night 2.0. The heroine is hot as fuck and a joy to play as. Also has a lot of game modes and extra additions (like the creator of Castlevania as a secret uberboss). Reminds me of Shovel Knight in that regard, like it's a labor of...

    God damn, the micro bar is tiny now. I'm trying to click on talents and quests etc and I have to squint despite having near-perfect vision. Looks like normal talent trees, but it auto-filled in the tree for me because God Forbid players have to think about anything with their brain more than...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Getting stuck in a final area with no Exit type spell seems to be a common cause of the topic of this thread. NES TMNT hurt everyone. I couldn't get into Ninja Gaiden Black either. Now I have the patience for it but I'm gonna play Sekiro instead. Super Return of the Jedi is worth playing...

    Wait, so what was the issue with this dance off? Was it bugged out? This was the thing that drove me nuts in the Persona games, main character death being game over. Combined with the fact that insta-death spells were SOMEHOW A THING at the same time. Can't count how many times I lost progress...

    Reminds me of one of my cool game memories: Rented Super Metroid on release day, was unbelievably excited for it. Got it home, played for like six hours straight, having a blast. Then ran into the wall of a boss that is Draygon, the boss of Maridia. It kept doing that...

    That's hilarious. Last time I went out with a girl, it was someone I met at a game convention and we bonded over discussing Zelda dungeons.

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    That place was tough for me to get through too. I was much more dedicated in 99 so I finished it eventually through trial and error. A few years later they released OoT Master Quest on the Gamecube which remixed OoT's dungeons quite a bit (probably other stuff too, can't remember). The funny...

    I like how he emphasized AUDIENCE SCORE. I think this movie will have a nice second wave in theaters now that people see it as being a bit anti-establishment. I'll definitely go see it this week just to support it.

    Not sure, but I had a few Icecrown quests send me there so I did have quests there. They just didn't originate there. Did a few levels in Zul, a few in Storm Peaks, wasn't too impressed with either. Icecrown is pretty cool though, did 30-40 there and probably sticking around til SL.

    SaGa games are the very definition of "mixed bag"...sometimes they're a ton of fun, other times they're borderline nonsensical and totally unbalanced. Personally I enjoyed every SaGa game I ever played, to varying degrees. FFL1 and 2 on the Game Boy were fantastic, and RS3's remaster / SaGa...

    I gotta go with Chris on this one and say FF8 is a worthwhile game. Maybe it's my nostalgia talking. The visuals were amazing in 99, and the game was pretty well-balanced for me. Then again I never grinded draws, and I think I leveled up normally, so the difficulty felt pretty leveled-out for...

    They want a non-compete because despite HHH's distaste for Punk, they can and will bring him in on a temporary basis for the publicity and controversy it'd instantly stir up. WWE won't let him anywhere near their world title(s), but a mid-level run and maybe a WM Night 1 main event? Maybe...

    Rock endorsed Biden at a point in time when Biden was generally regarded as a "center-left" candidate and wasn't bowing to the woke people yet.

    "By the end everyone is identical" could be argued about most FF games. Even 10 let characters break into the skill grids of other characters later on and learn everything. The only exceptions are the games with character-specific abilities with no crossover. FF4/6/9 and whatever else, I guess...

    FF10-2 is fantastic. I love the class system. I think I might enjoy that game more than 10-1, much like the situation with 13-2. I think 10-2 was also the last FF to use traditional ATB like 4-9. The concert is fucking stupid but it's also like, one scene in the game that's right at the...
