Just finished Skyward Sword...loved it! I’ll probably spend a few more hours exploring and tying up loose ends. Also just replayed Remember Me.

Well, if they’re anything like me, I imagine a quite a few Americans know him mainly from a commercial a few years back that took one of the slap fights from the Trinity movies and used it to sell...something. I can’t remember what. But it did send me in search of the movies, so there’s that.

Goddamit. And here I was, with the shiny new copy I bought half an hour ago, lol.

How bad is it that I recognize that second action figure he pummels as being Jack Cadillac from “Cadillacs and Dinosaurs”?

I would have watched and maybe even enjoyed it if they at least brought Yvonne Strahovski back. Now it’ll just be a hate watch. Unless it’s good. Then it’ll just be a, um, ‘watch’...I guess.

While the Witcher 3 trailer that’s included is pretty awesome, I think this one outdoes it for pure feels:

I’ve been watching the old Zelda cartoon on YouTube recently...I remember liking it as a kid and it was the only exposure I had to Zelda until Ocarina of Time came out several years later. I can’t say that I hate the show. Sure, it’s probably not the adaptation I want to see, but there’s a lot to like. The music for…

For me, it all depends on what version of the turtles we’re talking about. 80’s show: Mikey. Movies (old and new): Raphael, with Leo a close second. Nickelodeon’s show: Donatello. As for the comics, or that second series from around 2003, I’m not really familiar with them, so I can’t say.

Pretty awesome. Makes me feel like a chump for giving up on Majora’s Mask a few days ago because I don’t want to jump through all the hoops required to get the Fierce Deity mask in order to avoid getting one-shotted by Majora.

Something similar happened with the video game Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when a Muslim prayer wound up as a vocal track on one of the game’s levels. Except in that case it was a musician cherry picking something he thought sounded cool without knowing what it was (Nintendo has since removed it, along with some…

I feel like I owe you an apology. The first thing I thought when I saw that .gif was “Holy crap, who let Kevin Smith have the keys to a zamboni?”

Nah, I liked it. I just don’t remember it. I think a lot of people are of the opinion that it was a decent, if completely unremarkable, adventure movie. Given a choice, I’d rather watch Raiders of the Lost Ark, or Curse of the Black Pearl, or The Mummy ‘99. Maybe even National Treasure. But I’d certainly choose it…

The gunplay in this one is actually pretty competent, so you can play without. The only time I really find my self using VATS is when I’m fighting flying insects like bloodbugs, or when I’m fighting something like a Deathclaw Matriarch or Sentry Bot and need to target something specific or pull off a critical hit.…

I love her commentary. Have you done the U.S.S. Constitution quest yet? Her quip at the end is pretty golden.

For me, the ‘trigger’ was an overheard conversation between two enemies in the Pickman Gallery. (Ha! Just realized, Pickman Gallery lead me to Dunwich Borers.)

This can only end in tears...

I recently played the entire series for the first time, and didn’t have a problem with the twist...but then again I had thirteen years of internet memes and top ten articles to prepare me for it. Even so, I didn’t mind Raiden as a character. Personally I felt what they did to him in 4 was an over-correction in terms…

Never expected a sequel to this, but I’m glad it’s happening. Not sure how to feel about a whole new cast, but I suppose Ollie’s story wrapped up pretty nicely in the first one. No need to draw it out.

A bit off topic, but is anyone else kind of put off by the fact that half the men in the Commonwealth sound like Garrus Vakarian? I mean, I understand that in a game this big, you have to recycle some recordings. But when you have a guy with such a distinctive voice as Brandon Keener, maybe make him a primary NPC?

Are the GBA ones on the estore? I’d like to check them out, Awakenings is my first one and I’m hooked (and I just pre-ordered Fates...I know, ‘Don’t Pre-Order Games’, but that SE looks pretty cool). I’m also admittedly still pretty early, I think (the whole thing with Emmeryn just went down) so I’m guessing things…
