I thought that was Anna Jay for a second, sure looks like her, but I'm pretty sure she didn't do track. So your guess is as good as mine

2000, my previous winner for total good game releases, also had a lot of sequels. Suikoden 2, Wild Arms 2, Chrono Cross (more or less Trigger 2), Final Fantasy 9, and so on. When so much of the new stuff is so bad, breathing new life into the old stuff that actually meant something to us is...

Balthier was a great protagonist who should have been main. He reminded me of Spike from Buffy. Lulu's personalities were great, I'd love to motorboat those personalities. FF6's characters really were great. Most Japanese game protagonists drive me nuts, especially where "love interests" are...

I've got another one: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. This game is a horse's ass. FFT on PS1 is one of my favorite games, so I was super stoked to get ahold of FFTA. Took me years to get around to it but when I finally did I couldn't have been more excited. Then within an hour of starting it up I...

I've done the NYC to Boston (and vice versa) drive about a dozen times and it's crazy how much people suck at driving along that entire route. On I-95 people drive like they're trying really hard to die. For instance, going 110!

Between this and FF6 Tactics... just get rid of the dev companies and let fans create everything from now on with dev resources. Somehow. Just found out someone's making a Mega Man: The Wily Wars 2 (Sega Genesis remake of the NES classics) that includes MM4/5/6. And they're pretty far along...

@DickTrickle Why picard? We've got one vote for Tides! I'm okay with hearing something good about it, because it's still "on the list" for my CRPGs and I'm going to at least give it a shot. Would be great if I found something to like. I'll often end up liking unpopular things and disliking...

She sounds cute. Pleasant voice. Good listen.

No idea about Mischief specifics or minis, but the easiest way to get a globe is to take out Ture and Hanvar. Neither fight poses much of a challenge at 80 compared to the other bosses in there. That'll get you one (every five days?) and after that try Keldovan+Jelvan and Vangl. If it's a real...

Another short and accurate bit from whoever this is.

Damn, I've always hated Kevin James' guts for some reason, but now I'll have to revise that. I think I had "stepdad you hate" syndrome with him because he kind of replaced Chris Farley in the "Sandler crew" and Farley is basically irreplaceable, much less by a giant talentless turd like Kevin...

I know there's an actual reason for it being worded this way, but (for the hearing impaired) always rustles my jimmies. Maybe I just like watching things with subtitles to make it easier to follow along, especially if I've got an AC going or something. If there's only one English subtitle option...

What's up with CPAPs, they help with breathing while sleeping? I sleep horrendously bad and often have breathing issues (nose stops working when I lay down). She's got full health coverage.

Tides of Numenera being so bad is a bummer. I talked about this on the CRPG thread, but when I worked at Gamestop I knew so many people who were STOKED for that game, and watched them all get really bummed within a couple days of getting it. Also sad to hear Star Ocean went off a cliff. Never...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/175747403532 Jeepers! Not that far from that life-sized animatronic version of this now. As long as they can keep the chance of it murdering you under 10%, it'll sell like hotcakes!

I don't understand* why child trafficking is such a subject that the mainstream (Oscars etc) doesn't want anything to do with. Mostly only seeing right-leaning outlets even talking about it. Seems concern about it should be a pretty universal thing rather than a partisan political thing. * -...

This thing is doing worse than Flash? Cool, maybe next time they bring back a beloved legacy character, don't make it a movie that "deconstructs" him to prop up a younger replacement who is better at everything.

I think Grusch is legitimate. He was just hesitant and had weird body language on a couple of things which gave me the impression he didn't actually know all of the answers, and was supplying secondhand info on some of them. None of that means he's illegitimate though. All of this is very...

I'll need to check it out. Glad London is getting some respect as a wrestling city finally. So many cities internationally that would do incredible business for wrestling if anyone would give them a shot.

EQ is full of useful skill-teaching. Three examples: -I always led my own groups in EQ (live) while leveling. Always. Not only did I assemble them myself, I'd also direct traffic. Was always a monk on live, and being puller gives me an advantage for traffic-directing. Was able to lead groups...

"What's a Paladin?" is such a hilarious memory. Did she turn into a whore with you, at least? Good to find someone else who has beef with that game like I do. It's too long, too tedious, and just doesn't have much redeeming about it. I think the low camera angle was the biggest issue, cause...

Yeah, like...wot? Like I said before, raise the potion cap by 2x or 3x and don't refill potions on death. Can keep the checkpoints, whatever, but take away death being an advantage.

Funny, I actually know a guy who spends a fair bit of his sundays painting miniatures and had to make sure his wife accepted it. In any case, you're right that it's better to discuss these things upfront. Most people hide their proclivities, either because they think they'll be judged for the...

Top guild on Vulak... was that EoE? I think Faceless was also on there but wasn't big yet IIRC. Fippy is the one I mostly hear about since it had TL/AoS, Citizen/OGC, etc.

I know what you mean, PSP spinoffs of AAA games tended to be big downgrades from their main serieses, and not even worth it for completionism. I stopped worrying about them after a while. I could probably put "all DS games" on here in the same vein. I really didn't like the DS. So much stylus...

I've had a suspicion from the get-go that you the player would turn out to be the bad guy or something in the overall game. I hope they have the balls to follow through. Has any RPG done anything like that?

I'll never get all that "how do I get my wife to do X" stuff that's all over the internet. Always makes me wonder why they married someone who isn't into their main thing. Usually it's a three-way or buttsex or something. I know people have other priorities and lots of other things can draw you...

This is the one sauce from Hot Ones that I don't recommend because it fucking sucks. I've tried them all too. This one has a super-annoying burn that goes on and on, and continues into the stomach. No other sauce gives me an immediate stomachache, this one does though. So get this if you want to...

All the talk about games taking X amount of time or people powering through so they have time to go outside and touch grass, it got me thinking. What are some games that you spent a lot of time on and regret it? Not necessarily the worst games, but more games that took up time that you'll never...

Same. I'll also go Resolution Mode for Hogwarts Legacy whenever I actually play that. Yeah the lower framerate sucks. Not only is it higher resolution though, they also do some nutso effects with light and reflections via ray-tracing. Between HL and this, it's kind of cool to see devs making...

Yeah, pretty much. We were only together two months before she dumped me via text because I asked her to make some weekend time for me after she told me she'd be too busy. Like "I told you I couldn't and you're expecting too much from me and my career is first and I don't think this'll work, I'm...

The labs had to be done immediately yeah, and I guess there was no other way to do it. She got put on an antibiotic later that same evening and I had to go pick that up, so I guess it was a pretty serious deal.

Ackshually, Tsushima is also on PS4. But yeah, one should play a game that gorgeous on PS5. Same goes for Elden Ring. It also has Horizon 2 and God of War 2 if you're a fan of those serieses. AND plays all PS4 games, with faster loading times. @1987 Just go get one. I did on day one and have...

Yeah, I think R&C is finally beaten on PS5 visuals. I'm glad FF16 is a PS5 exclusive and they didn't dumb it down to be cross-platform with PS4.

They probably measure the completion percentage by certain benchmarks in the game, or something like that, that don't really jive with the actual exact game progression. All I know is what it says: I don't work by the hour, so I believe it. Araysar answered this above so you might want to...

Looks like I'm at 15 hours and 41% progress. Whoa, a lot further than I thought I was. Still avoiding sidequests. I'll give it the full robust 80 hour playthrough somewhere down the line. I owe FF15 a second run as well, did the same thing there. Just arrived within eyesight of the Empire's...

Kirsten Gillibrand cancelled Al Franken, so fuck 'er

So, you can go back and replay earlier stages. In Final Fantasy. Not "dungeons", not even "maps". Stages. They should just go all the way into action game ville and give you a letter ranking at the end of each "stage".

So good to see this guy have so many live viewers and millions of subs, considering I started watching him when he had like 60K subs (which...wasn't that long ago)

As a kid I never understood wtf Quick did. Thought it was some kind of Haste spell and I already had one of those. So I never fooled with it. They should have called it Time Stop or something like that to properly convey how OP it is. Whenever I play FF6 again I might try a low level game...
