The story is extremely predictable, but the characters are charming, and carry the game. The game acknowledges archetypes and tropes - to a degree actually being about them.

I loved this game. I remember it being very hard. I thought I had finished the whole game when they told me it was time for phase 2.

The day either Nintendo or Apple stop using proprietary power ports...

Looking for a save point or worrying if checkpoints or auto save have my back because real life demands I leave right now.

That’s very close to Male. Probably the first resort that ever opened here (don’t quote me on that). It’s pretty surreal, talking to someone who’s been here on Kotaku comments. Glad you liked it!

Which part of Maldives did you go to?

I’ve been coming to this site for years. It’s weird seeing my home here one day!

True but the one thing in the hands of the screen capper is shot composition and the choices behind that are very much artistic.

Not to mention the “talent” and achievement behind most factory-produced pop stars!

Wasn’t there a bit where one man actually explains to Ashitaka how Eboshi was the only one who took those lepers in? Maybe it’s only a myth in Japan and it’s entirely clear in the English translation?

I clicked this article hoping it was Itagaki.

I hope they don’t fight.

He-Man’s Spanish intro had words where other versions didn’t!

Soundwave superior, Constructicons inferior.
