I can’t really factor in games with non-US releases. Not only were they not really available back in the day, even if they were I wouldn’t be able to play them due to not knowing the language.

As for the notion that the SNES had way more above average JRPG’s. I’m sorry but I’m a huge connoisseur of the genre, and I’m…

It’s a neck and neck race between the PSX and SNES, with the PSX taking a slight edge. The SNES has FFIV, VI, Chrono Trigger, and Earthbound. The PSX has FFVII, VIII, IX, Chrono Cross, Suikoden 1, Suikoden 2, Grandia, FF Tactics, Xenogears, Dragon Warrior VII...

The SNES’s RPG library may be legendary, but the PSX’s is…

It kinda floors me that Hollywood thinks the answer to making sci-fi work, is jettisoning everything remotely resembling fun alongside the camp. The simple fact of the matter is that most sci-fi not set in the present is a little corny to some extent or another. That doesn’t mean you should go full-on Batman-66. But,…

The recent leaks from SemiAccurate do sound legit, in that they’re about what I’d expect. But the speculation that the PS5 could be out as early as this year is kinda laughable. Given game development times, I would not expect a release until very late 2019 at the earliest, and 2020 is probably indeed more accurate.

Ev…

Well, you can solo some mobs in Eureka. At least if you’re a tank, they’re the same or lower level than you are, and have potions to keep your health up while you whittle their HP away.

But compared to the general overworld, it can get pretty hairy.

Yeah, and I personally had fun with it. Sure it wasn’t hard, but it was a zen-inducing activity that let me explore a realm with actual danger.

You are right about it being a little barebone though. There needs to be some fleshing out done.

FFXIV’s Eureka Zone/Overworld-Raid is like a miniature version of that. It has its own separate leveling system, and if the mobs are only a few levels higher than your own, they will dominate you. You will also lose experience and even levels if you die and aren’t resurrected by another party member within ten…

Well, Dragonball Super wasn’t quite as good as Z. But it was better than GT, and the Tournament of Power was a great note to end it on. I also like that, unlike Resurrection F, they actually went somewhere with bringing Freeza back this time. I mean, the movie was nice and all but it just seemed kinda pointless there…

It’s time to let that dream die son, it’s not freaking Broly.

Interviews and the promotional material seems to indicate that this is a continuation of Super. So with that in mind, no this probably isn’t a DBZ era movie.

The difference in animation style is probably mostly due to budget. Early Dragonball Super especially was understaffed and underfunded.

Okay, a few things.

Even if you ignore the fact that space isn’t a very good environment for bacteria, the chance of this car actually hitting a planet with life on it is essentially non-existent. Most of the planets and moons in our own star system have no life on them, even on a bacterial level.

Now, outside of our…

I’m more of a libertarian myself. I just wanna be left alone!

But yeah, it tends to hard to reach the collective audience that is Gawker. I try, but you know. One can only be called a sexist racist practicer of beastiality so many times before losing patience.

There was almost certainly a few black people in Bohemia during the middle ages. This period lasted for hundreds of years, after all. That said, this was a landlocked region that was much further north than France, Italy, or Greece. It wouldn’t have had ports, so people seeing darker skinned individuals there is out.…

Point of fact, no there wasn’t a sizable number of Moors in that region at that time. Wrong end of the continent, bucko! A few may have occasionally wandered into that region a few times during that several hundred year period of time, but chances are the average peasant would’ve gone their entire lives without seeing…

Fixing the font should be a fairly simple mod, all things considered. Fixing the tiling issues though, hmmm....

I will never forgive DQ for getting rid of Banana Cream Pie Blizzards, ever. They went from a weekly treat to something that will only be talked about in myth and legend. My children will have to grow up in a world, bereft of the only blizzard flavor that ever really mattered. And all I can do to mourn is lament…

The RNG in trading card games is an intrinsic part of the gameplay. They force people to experiment with different builds and to trade with others to further flesh out your deck. The same simply can’t be said about loot-boxes in video games. There, they’re tacked on purely as a form of monetization, without adding…

It’s worth noting that the 2nd and 4th infographic are complete bullcrap.

Oh, I’d agree. The filmmakers couldn’t seem to get a single detail right. Even the rotation of the ship in relation to the spin-gravity wasn’t right, and that’s simple centrifugal force.

That said, while a science advisor is probably the best way to do it, it’s still a good idea to hire somebody who actually understand…

Yeeeah. The really weird thing is that the effects and acting were mostly fine. So if it had a better-written script that actually made sense, it very well could’ve been great!

But on top of the human element being a bit off, absolutely none of the “science,” made sense. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big of a deal. I…
