You quit FF7 too, huh? :carcus: Yeah, I haven't been back since they were having me use a dead character to go find another dead character and it was just too much wheel-spinning for me to care. MK1 - Reptile buffs are lookin' good but also completely revises his gameplan, lots of trickery and...

Final Fantasy VII: Chocobo Greens Hunter - Got past that bullshit and Barret's big arc, which, again, was more overwrought but not necessarily better, and now I'm back to the alternate reality shit that doesn't even reflect the original plot in any way, let alone mirror it. It seldom does mirror...

I just play it and don't get caught up in the drama. I talked about this in my GotY post but while some complaints may be individually valid, it was rushed and imbalanced at launch and they're still bringing it up to speed essentially, all fair though not abnormal with fighters, the incessant...

Mortal Kombat 1 - So, I've been playing exclusively with Reptile all season, I'm at 4,000+ total matches with him since game launch, I thought I figured out how to really play him at a high level with Sareena (for some continuity) by watching match replays of this Elder God Reptile/Sareena, and...

Well, I can agree on the flashback and Junon, those were the best parts, but they also didn't add a lot and I still preferred the original version of events because most of the additions, though relatively minor compared to the completely revamped or brand new segments, didn't enhance the plot...

Well, you're definitely our better angel here (glad it's not just me that thinks Aerith is practically rendered useless in combat), and it's not all as negative as my ranting, but... when I finally went back last night, took your advice and skipped the tournament, I was treated to Red's special...

Final Fantasy VII: Stillbirth - This game literally puts me to sleep, and I really got into the last one. But it turns out starting a fifth of the way through FF7 isn't as engaging as starting from the beginning and deep-diving Midgar, and I'm now also remembering how much retread fetch quest...

Congratulations on the baby boy! Welcome to the world, Ash! Love me some tired-ass, over-it mom and dad pics too. :guts: Condolences though on the recent feline infestation. You really shouldn't name them; it just makes it harder on the kid when you have to call out the exterminator. :zodd:

Glad to hear it was largely enjoyable, maybe I should figure out how to drag my wife to it (date night! :ganishka: )... Synthesizing two of your takeaways, if they could do it again should they have cast Elvis as Paul Atreides, or was Feyd a case of perfect for the part?

The webmaster defines a certain point of view like Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Yeah, I have a few but the writing was on the wall with that vs digital... then again, now streaming digital copies aren't even a sure thing to continue existing like something in your hand. Anyway, it's 1080p, so maybe it'll look amazing, but then some old stuff looks best on tube TVs or...

Absolutely, and I have given it a try on couple of occasions but it has so many issues on my PC, including the "new" one I used to play Half-Life: Alyx, I returned it with cause every time. I was only ever able to complete a few of the opening missions but it was rough, so it I didn't get nearly...

Final Fantasy VII-2 Retread Part II: Rebrand - After the dumb, sure-to-screw-everything-up alternative parallel reality shenanigans to open the game I finally finished the much more palatable Kalm flashback and I give it a mixed review. It felt pretty perfunctory in the end, but since this shit...

Glad to hear, I liked Remake a lot because of its pseudo-sequel qualities, but also had trepidation about the pitfalls of them potentially rewriting history, then the beginning of Rebirth was seemingly just such a wild turn that immediately threw me, so I turned it off and went back to my...

I found out from a random YouTube video recommendation titled, "Thank you Akira Toriyama" and immediately thought, "uh oh." Came here to post the news if it hadn't already hit, but SylapBG did a much better job than I'd have anyway. For one, this doesn't hit me particularly hard because, even...
