It was mostly the same game, with slight differences for each platform. Great game for either system! There was also Game Gear and NES versions that I never got to try.

I switched to Newman’s Own Sockerooni. I like spice and I can excuse any pricing quibbles because the proceeds go to charity. It’s the same excuse I use to justify buying massive quantities of Girl Scout cookies.

A very good, very underappreciated game.

AlienCubed purports to be a continuation of the storyline in the previous entry, but tears down and retcons the story.

I refer to Prometheus and Covenant as Idiots in Spaaaace 1&2. My headcanon is that they represent the space program from the future earth of Idiocracy, because there’s no other way every single character could be that monumentally stupid.

AlienCubed also had a really good, but underappreciated SNES/Genesis game tie-in. So it has that going for it.

That’s exactly what Fincher did, though. He didn’t like the ending to Aliens, so he changed it to the morbid dreck that he liked. A good sequel builds on and expands its predecessors, while AlienCubed shits all over them.

Mario has been Elmer Fudd in disguise the whole time! Maybe he had to enter witness relocation after testifying about Daffy’s terrorist use of high explosives?

Sure, you can spend more to put higher-octane gas in for absolutely no benefit if you hate money. Or you can be forced to pay more for zero benefit if 87 octane is no longer available.

Injects the passenger with poison. Much more effective than just throwing them out of the car. The downside is that you still have to dispose of the body.

If it’s pre-rendered, yes. Most cutscenes these days are in-engine and look fine, though.  

There’s... a lot more porn in the Guide than I remember.

I think the point of Inspector Spacetime is for a writer who doesn’t like Doctor Who to say “this is what you and your silly show are like.”

I can see where someone with health challenges may like automation. For me it provides no real benefit (its good for me to get my ass off the couch) and comes with the liability of exposing my home to hackers, costing much more than standard lightbulbs, thermostats, etc., and putting a microphone (I’m fine with the…

I thought Buster Keaton and Steven Wright had taken deadpan as far as it could go. Then Braugher showed up and said:

Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, and they want YOU ba... wait, damn, you headed me off on that one.

I upgraded immediately and haven’t regretted it. Once I saw that frame rates were rock solid (and potentially higher), and screen-tearing was gone on the Pro I was sold.

Movies/TV at high frame rates and games at high frame rates are just not comparable.

The Pro also pretty much eliminates screen-tearing. And it performs better with the PSVR.

That’s how I do it, too. If a game is really any good, it will still be good when I pick it up at half the price later on.
