Heatran was definitely very good in gen 4 because it had so many setups, but what I mean that it was manageable was that switching into a counter for it wasn’t hard. This was because most Heatran’s (back in gen 4) had the Flash Fire ability, which means any Pokemon with Trace or Flash Fire could switch in safely to…

I haven’t played competitively since Gen 4, but legendaries aren’t so strong that most regular Pokemon can’t take them down if sufficiently leveled and skilled. It’s just in the main story campaign where they are overpowered. When playing against a human, it really depends on the Pokemon. Like if I see an Articuno,…

I totally agree with this list. I think it is underplayed how much 4th gen (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver) really perfected the original formula before the newer games started introducing a lot of extraneous gimmicks. That physical/special split in 4th gen really balanced the game and made all kinds…

“Those poor white belted bastards never stood a chance.”

I LOLed hard enough that I had to explain the context to my friends. Well done on your accomplishments. Legit respect.

I wish the original was available somewhere for streaming. The original series though is the best place to start to get the full experience. I know some people will recommend the condensed movies, which are great, but Gundam is a character drama more so than an action story. This means that your feelings towards the…

I agree. Honestly, the logic of the Japanese version of the mapping makes a lot of sense to me. 

I like to think this is the in-universe justification as well. Like, “Okay, so it’s in pain. I get that, and that sucks. But, what are its base stats like and does it have a signature move?”

The justification for everything has to be, “well, so long as its competitively viable.” “Dude... did you seriously just catch…

I had the opposite reaction. I was afraid it was going to be Damien and was relieved it was Tim. I like Damien, of course, but I’m a 90s kid so Tim was always my favorite Robin.

Same, dude. I remember the first time I watched Life of Pi was the first time I felt “seen” as a South Asian living in the U.S. I’ll buy this game just to give them my money and hopefully see more content from and focusing on the South Asian sphere of the world. It feels nice to see yourself in the media you consume.

What I kind of find amusing as well is that I don’t play Tekken or any other fighting games, but just from years of gaming, I perfectly understood exactly what that player was generally saying. It made sense to me. It’s nice that gaming culture gives you a kind of general fluency with franchises/genres you don’t…

I feel like those kinds of launches were par the course back in the pre-2000 days. I remember that the majority of non-nintendo consoles always launched with racing games, generic platformers, or some kind of generic shooter. Just look at the back of original Playstation, Genesis, Dreamcast boxes and it’s just a sea…

A lot of people already mentioned the Fraction run which is the best version of Hawkeye in comics. Period. But also, just in general over the years of Avengers comics, Hawkeye is likable because he’s always the guy who says it exactly like it is. He’s not afraid to speak up to people like Thor or Cap, even when others…

Yeah, someone else also mentioned this in the comments. Tales of Symphonia would be worth playing because it is often considered the best of the Tales games to get localized. Just keep in mind it’s a 2000s game so it won’t have some of the quality of life things modern games have, but the graphics and especially the…

Dude! Legitimately, one of my favorite jokes in all of video games was the one where Mario was fighting in the sky arena as “The Great Gonzalez” and in the middle of his championship fight, Bowser barges in and shouts, “Mario! I found you at last!”

One of the announcers commentating the fight says, “Wow. The Great…

Honestly, I would be happy just to get a true follow-up to Paper Mario or Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. The Paper Mario games they’ve been releasing since those two are all about interesting gimmicks but don’t have that adventurous RPG spirit. The fact that some of these games didn’t even have a roster of…

Followed by what is probably to be a very long, very dumb, and a very depressing 4 years.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this new game was a gacha game. That’s all KH really needs at this point. Not gonna lie, I’d definitely give it a shot if it was.

I’m loving that Fahey played Jumping Flash. None of my friends did but I loved the idea of a first person platformer. It was fun!

I often think of this Michael Scott quote as Trump’s philosophy on public speaking. Then again, maybe I’m giving him too much of the benefit of the doubt that he even has a plan when he speaks.

The scary part is that it doesn’t matter. It seems like whatever he says on Twitter becomes the “Truth” to some people. It’s kind of scary that reality doesn’t matter anymore.
