I’m just a few years younger and I basically feel the same, except for the video games. My younger brother started watching the cartoon and tried to get me to watch it but I always just felt like it was a little bit too young for me - but then we got the GameBoy games and I got into it through that, because they are…

Also, at a total of around 430 minutes, they’ve made about as much TV as they normally would for a 10 episode season, it’s just chopped up into different sized chunks, presumably for plot pacing reasons, so it probably cost the same.

Between the 3DO and the Amiga CD32, 32-bit CD-ROM-based consoles didn’t get off to the best of starts.

I thought it was pretty significant, to the point where I was expecting Jason to write this article.

By late 1996 the PlayStation had already been out for over a year (two in Japan) and was a runaway commercial and critical success - it had sold 9 million units worldwide, had games like Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Wipeout, Tekken and Crash Bandicoot and had effectively killed the Sega Saturn. Nintendo may have not…

Just play it! You’ll be done before the remake comes out.

I’ve still got my original PSX copy, and I also had the original big box PC version but I think I sold it on at some point, plus I rebought it digitally on the PS3 so that I could play it on PSP and now Vita as well, and then I got it on Steam before I had a PS4 but then rebought it on PS4 because I wanted to go for…

Yeah, but FF VII isn’t getting a physical release so it still hasn’t been released on a cartridge.

Or let’s acknowledge that there was one made and it was terrible and then stop waiting for another one and just replay the original - I mean if it’s so good, why does it need to be remade?

Why not? 

Also there was like zero piracy on the N64 at the time, whereas PSX games were relatively easy to copy and play.

Making the game “easier” is a slippery slope. Where do you stop? What is the defined standard for how easy a game is?

There are some in the US...

Kyle Katarn steals the plans for the first Death Star in Dark Forces. Dash Rendar steals the plans for the second Death Star in Shadow of the Empire.

I had the same thought when I saw Mos Eisley (that’s not Dark Forces!) and I had to decipher the article because it’s really badly written - even now that it’s been edited it’s not much clearer.

“Endgame should be about undoing what Thanos did, not about beating Thanos.”

The term pepper pot would absolutely have been in common usage in 1963 - the objects themselves have been around since at least the 1920s and 1963 is also the year Doctor Who started and the world was introduced to the Daleks, which were almost immediately likened to pepper pots.

I just said basically the same thing in another comment here - that if he wanted to kill a black person because he was racist he wouldn’t have to wait for a friend to be raped to go out looking for one. To me it sounded like he had a vague physical description of the rapist and was hoping that any black person who…

I took it to mean that he was hoping it would be the same person - as in he didn’t have any way of identifying the person other than a vague physical description so he was hoping that any random black person who picked a fight with him would also be the rapist.
