FF XII is my favorite of all time. I started back with VII, played VIII and IX, went back and played the previous ones, and then proceeded to play them all at release. And XII is still my favorite. Is good.

XII is excellent, my favorite of the playstation era by a pretty big margin, but I still think IV and VI are better games.

You consider VI as the best so maybe you should give XII a deeper dive. You said on Split Screen you weren’t a fan. I think the director was the same for 6, 9, and 12. Which may be why they were my favorites.

Seems like it’ll be a neat solution for collectors but I honestly just want these games on my Switch. SNES games are great on the 3ds. but they are a little hard to appreciate on the small screen. The Switch like the perfect device for SNES games - with the caveat that it still lacks a joypad. Hmm.

there is exactly (1) noun I recognize in that entire sentence.

One of the big problem I see in BMWs is I feel the design language is outdated (and, since all cars look the same, they ALL look outdated), and the SUVs look out of proportion. I feel Audi does a much better job at creating attractive vehicles.

“I try to stay out of politics.

I’m sad that this didn’t happen. This would have been the first Big 3 to have 6 first names, thus making it the most powerful of all Big 3s. Not sure what response the Warriors could have even had to that. Maybe find a way to trade for Kawhi or Carmelo.

“And remember, whatever you do, don’t drive like my brother...”

More car talk = less road rage. They can make driving on some of the shittier days tolerable, enjoyable even.

The day Tom died, I sent my local NPR station the biggest donation I had ever made to a charity of any kind with a note to keep airing Car Talk as long as they could. I don’t care it’s not new, I still get a big grin when I hear that banjo music on Saturday morning.

Was also floored when I saw them in Pitch Perfect 2. XD Break the mold!

know what? - i’m really glad to see names from outside traditional geekery trying something inside geekery.

this sounds apocryphal but I want to believe

Fun anecdote, I can’t find the source again but. Once read an article the pointless roll bar in the PT Cruiser convertable. Aparently the resin that was first put on the car was because when they finished mocking one up for the first time and stood back to look at it, someone said something along the lines of “my god,…

well, if nothing else, it explains why he doesn’t have kids.

Those people haven’t played Grim Fandango since the 1990s.
