Did you plug in another and keep at it? Having a backup controller just for Zeus might be worth it as well. 

I’m pretty shocked not to see God of War (II and III) on the list! You spend so much of time beating the absolute piss out of Zeus that at the end of III it gives the opportunity to beat on him for an infinite amount of time haha. Maybe with Hades you only afforded room for one Greek mythology entry haha. 

Another brilliant Street Fighter music piece! I was such a SF nerd growing up that I wanted a 3DO solely because it was the only way I could play SSFIIT at home haha. Of course I never got one because it was a crappy, prohibitively expensive console and my family wasn’t rolling like that. These are the songs that I…

Shake harder, boy! 

I’ve been doing most of these things in my efforts to get through my backlog, and overall I’d say it helps. Another adjustment I made was to have multiple games in progress that I play depending on my mood. I’ve historically been a one-or-two-game-at-a-time person, and now I have two minimum that I’m playing; usually…

You’re doing the lord’s work.

The “nuts in brownies” analogy for the modern day sections of Assassin’s Creed is pretty apt with me personally as well. In both cases I don’t hate them...but I’d rather not. 

I’d be utterly shocked if it didn’t

Yup, this was my initial impression as well. Graphically it looks good, but the style is a muddled, inconsistent mess. The original generally kept the same level of detail in it’s cel shading through and through for a more cohesive look. You just look at a screenshot of the remake and you see elements that look…

Aubrey is a damn treasure

Wrestling can be all those things and still be inherently ridiculous; distilled to it’s simplest parts you could say it’s a bunch of actors in skimpy costumes fake fighting. I think part of why wrestling fans get so lambasted is because so many just can’t accept that and at times just seem so desperate for legitimacy…

Well...he is the cleaner.

I’m cautiously optimistic and it sounds like they might be on the right track, but it doesn’t even matter if the games are any good because that mock Apple press conference made it all worth it.

Yup, I think it’s just the pun. It’s a dog wearing a bunch of watches...a watch dog. Only the trench coat brings up any allusion to McGruff, but a gray trench coat is also a Watch Dogs reference in and of itself.

True, true. I wouldn’t say I dislike the Third Strike OST but it’s not my favorite. You nailed it though, I can’t stand Chun’s theme and Beats In My Head did in fact enter my head without an invite and refused to leave for a while. Most of the other stuff for me ranges from inoffensive to pretty damn good though.

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, I totally dig the intro on Strange Sunset in a vacuum; overall the track probably gets knocked down a peg just based on my own notions of fighting game tracks matching the action. If I divorce it from that I have less issue with a lengthy, easy-listening stretch of tunes. I like how a lot…

The Street Fighter III series are the franchise’s best when it comes to music in my opinion (Ibuki’s ‘Twilight’ might be my gun-to-the-head), but I’ve always thought EX’s music was pretty underrated. Strange Sunset is definitely my favorite of the bunch, but I just wish it took sooner to pick up; in a very one-sided…

This has always been my knock against the song. Once it picks up it’s one of my favorite SF themes (not that I don’t love the jazzy piano early on; it’s just not “fighting game” enough), but it takes so damn long to get there haha. You could probably use Strange Sunset in the “Guile’s theme goes with everything” meme…

Nice, I’ve never even seen anyone win from those contests. How much Taco Bell did you have to put in you to get it? 

I’d say it being Iwata is probably the least likely haha. But honestly, all of them are pretty unlikely. Kodera is pretty close to the drawing but doesn’t wear glasses (and I was wrong, he does still work at Sony PS, but just isn’t CEO anymore), and your suggestion really doesn’t look anything like the comic other…
