Oh, I knew I recognized those names when I heard an ad on MBMBAM!

Absolutely, they’re the model we should all be operating by. That said, this is...not good.

This one came out on my 19th birthday and I was taking a gap year, so I had time to plow right through it. Still probably a top three Zelda for me and it definitely, definitely got dark. I fucking loved the ending and Farewell Hyrule King is still probably my favorite Zelda track of all time.

So I guess they’re content to stop at 3 consecutive days without a new COVID case (Yes, I know it’ll take a week or two for any of these folks to show symptoms)?

Put this shit right into my fucking veins. I’m of the mind that Origins and odyssey revitalized the series (I liked Syndicate, but the formula was way beyond stale by that point). The one thing I didn’t dig about Odyssey was the lack of a hidden blade (Which, of course, made sense in context of time period), so that’s…

I am shocked to hear anyone would assume the medals are useless. It just seemed like common sense that a random “medal” of some sort that went into key items would be useful eventually. I remember picking up my first one in the factory area, I think, and immediately thinking “well, can’t wait to find the special…

I’m sure the irony of a free market conservative being bamboozled by a product made in a place that has almost no legitimate fucking oversight/regulation on its manufacturing industry is completely lost on him too.

He’s also only 59. He’s not so old that he shouldn’t be capable of knowing better. Shitty knockoff controllers have been a thing literally for decades.

I’ve been hoping they’d make a resurgence considering how political of a band they are.

I really dig the combat system, but holy shit, I miss Gambits. I just replayed XII on Switch and I have spent the entirety of VII remake wishing I had Gambits. I felt the same with XV, which I recall having a similar combat system.

Ok, Boomer.

Honestly, I love the SoaD sticker because it kind of dates it. They didn’t really get “big” until around ‘98 and weren’t really a worldwide phenom until after the PS2 was out, so it paints a kind of “reality of gaming in a nation where gaming isn’t readily available” picture.

Definite minority for a teenager’s room. I kept mine organized too, but that’s a habit that’s lasted me now into my late thirties.

Holy shit, nice seeing Neil Degrasse Tyson in the comments!

Yeah, not sure how anyone made it through the reactors without learning to parry. Those shock troopers are chumps if you parry.

I consume my Comixology on a cheap Android tablet (Lenovo P10, works great). Until it broke from a three foot fall off of my couch, I was using a Nook 10.1, which also worked great.

I’m just disappointed that I haven’t gotten to a point where he’s tried to get his hands on some support materia by asking “can I get some of the blue stuff?”

From a graphical standpoint? Sure. Beyond that, though, it didn’t exactly reinvent the wheel beyond stuff IV and VI had already done. From a gameplay standpoint, Materia and Magitek are damn near interchangeable concepts.

I love it in context of Wedge’s remarks about it being an act. I was a little bit of a drama kid in high school and I knew more than a couple of girls back then who didn’t grow out of that “heavy flirting because it’s dramatic” phase until much later.

Barret is the highlight of the reactor 5 run (Which I just finished last night) and I will brook no argument otherwise. His “singing what he’s doing” schtick is a phenomenal touch to his character and I absolutely lost it when he started “singing” the victory fanfare and talking about doing victory poses. J.J. Abrams…
