Darling, it's better down where it's wetter, take it from meeeeee. No joke here, I just wanted to write that lyric.

Pleb!

It was only directed by a LOST alum, not written.

I'm hungover still from last night, which may be a part of it, but I actually goddamn cried real tears. That never happens.

Then for conciseness just make her the physical embodiment of death that Thanos is in love with, then you got some Blanchett in your Infinity War, then you got a stew goin'.

Actually, you know what, I remember getting Street Fighter IV for the 360 and the d-pad was not up to the task of that game, so I take back my absolutely not. We must find common ground in the agreement that the Playstation d-pad, at least, has always been rad. And the SNES as well. Gamecube was rubbish, too, and…

Absolutely not.

Absolutely!

I only ever owned one game that forced you to use the d-pad: Mischief Makers. It's actually one of the worst d-pads in videogame controller history.

Kingdom Hearts is a series tailor made for me in so many respects and I haven't liked it since the first one. It's my number one series that I desperately want to love so badly, but I just can't.

Took me a moment to actually remember what the final showdown in Infinite was, so that says a lot. Eclipsed by the ending that came after it.

And now you've reminded me of them. Brrr! Actually, speaking of Jet Force Gemini, curse any game that forces you to go back through all the levels just before the end to do some arbitrary shit. Gemini was a bad offender, though Super Ghouls and Ghosts is the king of it.

Absolutely. It's been a long, long time since I paused a game and went online to see how to do a bit. But I threw my controller down and went on youtube just to see hard evidence that someone had managed to complete that fucking mini-game. Fuck it, and fuck that trick.

Replayed Donkey Kong 64 last year for the first time since it came out. Stopped playing when it forced me to have to complete those retro games. Insanely difficult and life's too short. But there's another bit I did complete, which nearly made me tear my hair out. It's a mini-game called Beaver Bother. You have to do…

Or the fuckin drums in Carnival Night Zone!? Had to stop playing that game for years because of them.

150cc, Rainbow Road, four player, with three of my friends sitting on the couch beside me. I'll take that over almost any multiplayer gaming these days.

Yeah, I probably agree. Now. But as a little kid (and I was very young playing Sonic 1 and 2) they terrified me. Remember that bit in Chemical Plant Zone where you end up in a kind of sealed chamber and you have to climb up moving blocks with the water rising faster than you can move? Probably my first trauma.

Been years since I played it, but I remember having trouble in Final Fantasy X with a Seymour boss fight up on Mt. Gagazet, and having to watch the shitty cutscene where the heroes are shocked to find him there over and over.

This has become the internet's THE most hated videogame level, hasn't it? I love it. I think it's one of the best Zelda dungeons. I have two problems with it: having to constantly take on and off the iron boots in the menu is irritating, and the secret hole you can drop down once you raise the water in the middle…

As far as Sonic levels that stressed me the hell out as a kid go, Aquatic Ruin Zone has got nothing on Labyrinth Zone. Or even Chemical Plant Zone.
