Maybe it’s that loud so participants won’t have to suffer the indignity of hearing the life leaving your body in so many exhausted, ragged gasps. I can easily imagine that being something a weird exercise cult would frown on.

As a pervert, I appreciate the article because I completely forgot about Fakku being a thing! I’m glad they’re still doing what they’re doing and making a living at it.

I just realized I missed a great opportunity to call it “the twist and shout.” Damn...

That must be Pazuzu’s nom de plume that he writes My Little Pony fanfiction under.

I don’t see the “Angrily twist controller until the plastic creaks/cracks/breaks while spitting ‘FUUUUUUCCCCKER’ through gritted teeth” move. The last time I threw a controller down cost me a broken panel on an expensive DDR pad. These days the most I’ll do is curse a couple times then sigh progressively deeper and…

At least we’re getting a new single player focused video game maybe next year possibly? Hey it’s something, potentially!

I think I need to lie down for a bit after watching that. I guess you get used to it but I understood maybe a quarter of what he was saying. It got better but still...stressful as hell.

At first I was thinking “Prison Planet?”

We’re not discussing the most important thing here...that goober with the big jug of water in the middle of the aisle like some kind of animal.

It kind of makes me think of mid ‘90s Brad Pitt

I knew I remembered seeing a sign like that! I was born in ‘82 but I still clearly remember how the site looked. It always seemed strange that no one did anything with it but I suppose there’s a reason for it. Teenage me at least used to dream about buying it and turning it into a private pocketbike track.

I hadn’t heard that but this was probably 25 years or more back that I was asking my dad about it so I’m definitely not ruling out that I’m misremembering or misinformed. I’m far more shocked that anybody here would have any idea what I’m talking about.

I struggled for a while to keep it straight in my head. Although it is kind of fun to say to friends “You know, that game where you’re a woman with a bow hunting robot dinosaurs?” It’s great and it sounds like a slightly less fantastical cutscene from Yakuza.

I would probably still play some if there were any stops within walking distance. There’s only one place nearby with a notable density of stops and it’s on the university’s campus so I seldom have reason to go out there. That’s pretty much what killed my desire to play.

Unless it’s their chicken...then it could be poison. There’s nothing like getting your first pair of contacts as a young teen, stopping by Arby’s for lunch with your mom, getting a chicken cordon bleu sandwich, and capping the adventure off by thinking that your contacts are killing you while you get progressively…

How about a ghost track that almost was outside of Tuscaloosa, AL? If I correctly remember what my dad told me when I was little it was going to be a dirt short track until the main backer got locked up for drug trafficking or something of that nature. It’s completely overgrown but you can still see the bones of a…

I’m with you. I could never hate the styling of it but it’s a shame they didn’t give it a little more character under the hood to match.

Maybe a little Fallout 4 but definitely Yakuza 5! No really, I was wavering because I completed Kiryu’s chapter and wasn’t really feeling Saejima at that moment so I put it aside. Had I known that (among many other ridiculous/awesome things) he would punch into submission a giant bear that some villagers had been…

The new opening for Super is awesome. I’m not sure any one theme is my absolute favorite but maybe the original Dragon Ball opening is my subconscious’ favorite. Every now and then I’ll find myself humming or singing the tune to it and yet I couldn’t place it until now.

Please tell me that someone laments the state of modern games and says that they used to play Pong in the after the segment banter between the news people. Bonus points if they’re 35 or younger!
