Same for the PSP, too. On both handhelds, I must’ve put them down and forgotten about doing something in them for about a month each, and came back to find while half-drained, both were still to go and right where I left them.
I love Sony’s engineering, even if I hate their propensity to shoot themselves in the foot.

I remember when a few people on the Internet, me included, went out to make that Stalchild as huge as possible. Some even grabbed a Gameshark and made it infinite night to find out how big it could get.

Answer: as big as the game wants it.

I love the 64 Zelda games so much I have had a slightly unhealthy obsession with how those games changed during development. For a long time I was part of a research community devoted to the 64 era Zeldas, and I found it fascinating to see things like Aria/obj_human, the Hyrule Castle Dungeon, and the early Castle…

Especially with Nintendo’s stated, “We’d rather hold back a game til its ready then release a bad product.”

Keeping in mind, a console game was complete and done once shipped. Good luck patching cartridges and CD based media.

I was like 9 by the time I got to play FFIII. I’ll tell you what, as a kid, I was impressed a video game could do an entire Opera act, even without sampled vocals. Just III was a groundbreaking game for me, having a deeply involved story and tons of content (for the day), and that always stuck as the epitome of how…

Same. I was huge into exploring OoT’s spots in the overworld that we had no right to be at, and marveling how they were just there. Sure, a few of them held extra items (Poes, a Fairy Fountain), but there were extra areas there just to be extra areas, and that was just fascinating to my 11 year old brain.

I actually picked up a Booster Plus for $10 at a thrift store. Still complete in box.

Yeah, I was heartbroken over the Funi buyout, because, well, it’d been a beautiful two years. I’ve known about HIDIVE, but didn’t really have a reason to sub to it. I mean, a lot of older anime are on there, stuff up my alley, but you know, when you have VRV...

There’s a tiny optimist in me that’s looking at this like…

Leaving this here because while the Lost Universe concept is amazing, it is where the term Coconut Crab came from:

I have such a huge soft spot for this game. A lot of it was cool just to see how I could live life differently, but also because browser games were still a rarity outside of Newgrounds and Neopets, and it had the novelty of, well, living another life.

I have fonder memories, because I started the Wikipedia page for…

Look up the LostMediaWiki’s troubles with Fandom AKA Wikia. They had a whole pile of heartburn from them, not including refusing to delete the Wiki once they were moving to their own server, locking them out (and taking assets copyrighted to dycaite, the owner, while at it), and generally being a pain until the bitter…

FFVI would be perfect for you, if they ever fixed it on Steam. If not, find it on a digital storefront elsewhere.
It’s not grindy, but it has really good story.

Plus Silent Light, the Medina Village theme is a remix of Narshe’s theme from VI, which is cool. Same for Tyrano’s Lair and the Earth Shrine in FFV, and again…

But DW can be a fun grind. Lots of emotions in that series that make it totally worth it.

So we’re clear, if you DO have your original Halo discs, they will work on the Xbox One. And I’d be more than happy to pay for a good package deal on most of these.

I’m kind of in the same boat with you. I’m not a huge fan, and buy the games when they become available, just for Nintendo systems it can be frustrating.

I actually think that Team Angel discovery is exciting, if not corny. But I like corny. I would’ve loved watching this when I was a pre-teen kid, considering how much I loved catching Hercules on syndication when my parents weren’t looking, and it’s kind of giving me the same vibes.

FWIW, tho, anime did have its small…

Once Sailor Moon went off syndication here, we managed to catch feeds going to Canada over our big ugly dish. Good times!

I had two jokes.  This is the one I chose to go with.

I mean, I’ll get Crackdown 3 when it releases, for sure. I loved the first game, it was a lot of fun. Just that when on the sequel...
