Malcolm: This park is a stupid idea and all of you are stupid.
Chris Pratt: Don't listen to him ladies.
Raptors: Moo.

Also the main bad of Persona 3: The Answer is the manifestation of people's suicidal impulses. A mass longing for death. Persona 4's penultimate boss is drawn by a similar hostile group-think. Heavy stuff these Atlus games.

The musical Wicked has an uneven score and a terrible book. It also has a heroine who is rejected by society, develops magical powers and belts a catchy song about her independence. She's both an audience surrogate and a power fantasy. The show's been running since 2003.

The commercials made it seem like that would be the plot of the first film.

They could bring back some plot points they cut from the original Snow Queen story. Glass shards in the eyes anyone?

Ah. Memories of 1993. I had Nintendo games. My friend had Sega games. We'd switch whose house we'd visit after school.

Ah but we still don't know where or when Jason was killed after he ran away. Only where the body was found.

And by Psycho IV he talked himself out of killing his wife and agreed to have a child with her.

Her biography makes her sound like she was more aloof than anything else. Aloofness can be easily read as snobbery.

Saw a stage production of The Wiz. The score is better than I remembered and the book is worse. Once Dorothy gathers her three friends they all fade out of focus to make room for star turns from the supporting cast. Harvey Fierstein's rewritten book for the television special tried to give Dorothy more of an arc.

While LGBT+ gamers are not the target market of gaming corporations we have rallied the dollars and the voice to show that we are a sizable secondary market. Western designers have begun to take us into account.

People bashed Dragon Age 2's tactic of making all the romance options bisexual but I think it was one of the better solutions. Writing wise I prefer the romances of Dragon Age Inquisition.
Same sex romances in other Bioware games have received mixed reviews but they still make an effort that other studios have not.

The Mana games to an extent. Secret of Mana is well known but between spin offs and remakes there are about a dozen of them.

Persona Q's writing nearly tarnished my memories of the P3 and P4 casts as well. It ratchets up the "goofy" aspects of nearly every character. This makes characters who were already comic, like Teddie, nearly insufferable.

The first wave of articles were raves. The second wave of backlash articles complain that the shoddy English translation destroys the game. I'm sure the answer is somewhere in the middle. I haven't cared for the opening hours but I trust this board and know things will get better.

The first Shantae game for Gameboy Color is full of frustrations but the sequels are charming comfort food.

Ryuji: SENPAI! WHY DON'T YOU HANG OUT WITH ME ANYMORE!?
Protagonist: You got your 10 days. Besides we'll always have Mementos.
Ryuji: SCREW THAT! I DO WHAT I WANT!
Protagonist: What are you talking a…
(Ryuji runs into a wall knocking himself unconscious).

Parting thoughts on Mass Effect Andromeda

I've blasted through four RPGs in the last 4 months. I'd like to spread Persona 5 throughout the rest of the year. The opening hours were rough but I know it will get better.

I started with the NES port. It kept me from appreciating the game.
I loved the spinoff series, the Gargoyles Quest trilogy, and would play a fourth. Sadly they lacked humor beyond their shoddy translations.
