Ooof.  Really wish there had been a tag for spoilers for Jedi Survivor.  This sucks.

That Obi-Wan Xbox game was definitely fun when it came out and seems to get overlooked.  It also had a fun battle mode where if I remember right you could duel other jedi in an arena.  

I put in the Category of ‘So This Is Christmas’ where its almost trying TOO hard to be a bummer. That said, Fairytale of NY has really grown on me over the years and I do enjoy it.  

“The lights on my tree, I wish you could see..” from the Carpenters merry christmas darling absolutely wrecked me during that first covid christmas. Random fact there’s a scene in the movie Empire Records where they’re playing romeo & juliet by Dire straights as they pan through the store and there’s a woman sobbing…

Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain!  Such a great YA series - before those were really even a thing.  I devoured those books as a kid.  The Black Cauldron is actually the second book in the series but they drew the story from the movie from both books 1 and 2.  I was actually thinking about giving my daughter the…

This - one of my earliest movie theatre memories was seeing Black Cauldron. I remember really enjoying it and eventually getting into the Lloyd Alexander novels they based the movie on. Disney buried it DEEP in the vault for years - I don’t think you could even rent it. I remember everytime we went to a disney store…

drinking caf.

sounds great but when will they port n64 rogue squadron to switch?

Just recently started playing again and it seems like the game has become nearly impossible for casual players to keep up w/ current content - its been super fun just soloing old expansions so I look forward to eventually playing this at some point in the next few years.  

Still no port of Rogue Squadron... seems like a no brainer but I’m sure there are licensing or other issues I don’t understand.

I’ve gone back and forth over the years but after reading an article about the movie by Katie Baker I’m now firmly in the ‘not on purpose’ side. The movie was based on a documentary of the same name that was produced by the son / nephew of the characters that inspired Dottie and Kit. He had this to say about if the…

Would prefer Daggerfall. It’s been ages but if I remember right by the time I stopped playing I had some really cool shit in that game. A horse, a mansion in like every major town, and possibly my own pirate ship?

The only thing I ever want to see from any of these expos is for Nintendo to announce an X-Wing Rogue Squadron port to the Switch.  

Shining Force I and II

I’d also like to see X-Wing get a remaster, but I’d also want the gameplay improvements from Tie Fighter added,

SHINING FORCE! I’ve been scrolling the comments and honeslty surprised I had to go this far down to see someone bring it up. Shining Force II and the Sega Gamegear version were great as well. They did a really great port of the first one for IOS a few years back but it seems to no longer be supported.

would love to see Betrayal at Krondor - I never played the original but always felt like I was missing a piece of the story in the ‘magicians series’ so during a recent re-read of Feist’s work I downloaded the game on steam and.... yikes.  I’m sure it was amazing at the time but very hard to get into now.

This is a great point - I just recently got back into casual gaming during COVID and bought an xbox on ebay. I’ve been playing it for about 3 months now, a few times a week, and if you asked me what model I have, I honestly couldn’t tell you off the top of my head. It’s white, and doesn’t have a disk drive. That’s all…

I’ll be playing the terrible story-mode in Squadrons and fighting the urge to friendly fire on the rest of Vanguard squadron - aka the dorkiest bunch of dorks that ever dorked. They are like a highschool AV Club or particularly precocious D&D group, only in x-wings. To the extent Vanguard shares the same expanded…
