Can we get re-reviews of other games too now that this is a thing?  I still want to hear someone else’s opinion on Xenoblade Chronicles 2.  Let Tim review it or something.

Good man. Welcome back Mike, happy to have you back. 

Hey, congratulations, you have a different opinion than I do. I don’t believe I claimed Nendoroids were more articulated than Figmas, merely that they are articulated. As the owner of at least two dozen scales and a handful of Nendos, I feel fairly comfortable in my own opinion that I think Figmas look kinda cheap.

As written, the recipe doesn’t make sense. The recipes I have found that use such a high percentage of yeast relative to the amount of flour listed in the recipe are explicitly designed to be one-hour recipes. Which fine, if that’s what you are going for, that’s what you are going for. However, the recipe gives this

Yup, you caught me. I hate fun. Hooray, it worked for Gwen. The article series is called “Pizza School.”  I object to that recipe being shared as instruction to people who don’t know what they are doing. Even a poorly written recipe will probably still make something halfway edible. 

That is an enormous amount of yeast for that small of an amount of flour. I’m surprised the dough doesn’t just taste like yeast. You could easily get by with a 1/4 or 1/2 tsp, especially if you let it ferment at room temperature for several hours and then follow up with a cold ferment. What’s the point of

Figmas don’t really do much for me. Nendoroids are on one end of the realism vs chibi scale, with scales on the opposite end. Figmas fall somewhere in the middle. If I want something posable, I’d get a Nendo. If I want something that actually looks like the character, I’d get a scale. Figmas, in my opinion, try to do

What is the difference between the EUR Scart Adapter and the JP21 Scart Adapter versions? The text on the listings doesn’t differentiate between the two.  A link to a guide on reddit suggests that JP21 and Eur SCART are different cable formats that use the same connector but different pin mappings.  Unless it’s

Did Atlus announce Persona Q2 for the West yet?  Last I saw it was only a Japan release date that’d been announced.

Would love to see you do a Kotaku Game Diary for Xenoblade. It really starts to pick up in chapter 5/6. 

You have to beat a specific challenge to take them out. It’s the Dino one, don’t remember the actual name. Once you beat it successfully, you can take both back to Alrest. 

Not sure what the hell “strong met” is supposed to be. I think I meant to type “stronger.”  With regards to your question, as far as I can tell, you just have to be finished with chapter 4 and own the DLC pass. A teleporter appears in the Olethro Ruins. 

Once you get to max level and pick up some of the strong met blades, it’s possible to just fly through NG+.  Fiora is hideously broken. 

I don’t have an Android; it’s easy enough to set up an account with the default iOS Mail app. Just figured that Gmail was ubiquitous enough that pretty much everyone had an account.  Though I still see people of my parents’ generation with @att.net or @earthlink.net accounts, so who knows. 

I was thinking about going back to XC2 as well. I’ve already beaten the game once and am on chapter 8 or 9 of my first NG+ playthrough. Have all the blades except for the most recently released DLC blade though still need to finish getting their Trust to S+. I really enjoy the combat system in that game and can just

Completely unrelated, I’m somewhat surprised there are still people who don’t have Gmail accounts. As the article points out, I suppose it’s a legacy issue. I have my work email account, with which I do not get a say in the matter and is administered through Outlook on our work computers (though it’s not an Outlook

I’m working on perfecting my own sauce. The current iteration that I’m testing is as follows:

Very apt turn of phrase.  I suppose it speaks volumes to how poorly NYXL fared in this meta that London was able to do to Philly what Philly was able to do to NYXL.  Wonder if the result would have been as one-sided if the final had been NYXL vs. London.

The Grand Finals, in my opinion, where probably the worst part of the entire season. Philly just got stomped by London; it wasn’t even close. It wasn’t even particularly interesting to watch. Stage 4 in its entirety was the highpoint of the season, and the stage 4 finals had some incredibly close and engaging
