I can’t say I care much for the month. There wasn’t any games released that I really loved, although I like Metal Gear Solid 3 a fair bit. I think it’s worth noting that Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, which is a substantially better version, came out a year later, though. In any case, I’d take a month that had only…

I’m pretty hyped for the game, although I’m not sure if I’ll have played Yakuza 0 through 6 before this game comes out. That said, there’s no way I’ll buy this day one. Not buying games on the day of release is the norm for me, as I’m quite happy to wait a year or two to play a game if it means I can buy it for 50% or…

I sit for almost the entire flight, and I want to stand as soon as it lands to stretch out my legs. Standing is how I relax after the flight. I can’t say I care about other people standing after a plane lands, whether I’m standing up or sitting down. On flights, the people who bother me are those sitting in front of…

Seriously, it cannot be mentioned enough that the player’s skill is so much more important than the player’s choice of character. I just play as characters I like. It doesn’t matter if I pick a top-tier player and play against a pro using the worst character in the game--I would still be destroyed.

Cole threw a stinker in Game 1, and the voters will think that Cole wasn’t that essential in Game 5 since his teammates supported him 7 runs. Cole will need to appear in Game 7 on short rest and pitch lights-out in order to win the MVP at this point (and the Astros could very well win tomorrow night to make this…

I meant that everyone picking the Astros as favourites for this year’s World Series made me remember the 2012 World Series, although I’m hoping you understood as much and are just messing with me.

I’m okay with David Bowie for number one and basically disagree strongly with everything else about this list. I’m guessing that Bowie might have benefited from a staff list, since he may not be everybody’s first pick (he’s probably two or three for me) but is generally likeable.

I remembered the 2012 World Series, when my Giants swept the favoured Tigers, after everybody was predicting an overwhelming Astros victory. And that World Series is far from the only one where the underdog team defeated a superior team. My takeaway about MLB’s postseason is that a team only has to make the playoffs,…

I don’t think it’s that hard to imagine the Nationals winning three more games. All they need is some long outings from their starters or to score so many runs that not even their bullpen can blow it. Or, it’s not like it’s that crazy for weak relief pitchers to throw a scoreless inning, as that happens regularly in…

Just play the Witcher 3. I didn’t play the first two games and got by fine.

If you mean 80 hours each, sure. I wouldn’t say the Crossbell games are anywhere near the shortest in the series.

That’s neat, but I wish modern developers would stop making such absurdly small text in the first place!

No, the Giants are the dynasty of the decade because they have three championships, more than any other team, and no other team is going to have more than two this decade. Nobody calls Atlanta the dynasty of the 90s even though Atlanta arguably had a better team than the New York Yankees, because the latter team…

Even if the Mets were doomed to lose, I’m surprised they didn’t push the series to a Game 6 or 7.

Still, those 2015 Mets blew a lot of late leads in the World Series. I’m still kind of surprised that they lost to Kansas City.

Not just the Tigers but every team that has swept a League Championship Series and played an opponent who went the full seven games has lost in the World Series.

The 2019 game did at least have multiple stolen bases, whereas the 1976 ALCS game only had one caught stealing. Stolen bases are fun.

Otherwise, I think the comparison here helps point out why older games could be more exciting. The biggest issues are the high number of walks and strikeouts in the most recent game.…

There are basically two extremes of censorship. On one end is games like Xenosaga 3, where the English version removes blood; this censorship is problematic since Xenosaga 3 features a scene of someone scooping up blood and her actions are nonsensical when censored (I seriously did not understand what was going on in…

It’ll probably just open up a texting window on the main screen, similar to what Persona 5 does. Honestly, I was annoyed by the use of the second screen in the original since it seemed pointless to even have that information on a different screen. It’s not like The World Ends With You which was designed to use both…

No game is for everyone. Secret of Mana came out at the perfect time for me, and I to this day think it’s a bad game since I’ve always viewed it as a combination of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Final Fantasy IV but much worse than both of those games. As for Final Fantasy VII, I played it for the first time in 2001…
