The DS remake of Trigger also included a post-game bonus dungeon that ties Trigger a bit more strongly into Cross, and also has one final fight against Dalton, from Zeal. When you beat him, he announces that he’s going to Porre and use it to take over Guardia. Since Porre has become a much more militaristic nation by…

Those different-looking Stormtroopers on the speeder in the city we see...I half wonder if those are actually repurposed Clone Troopers. I know Rebels said the Empire stood them all down, but maybe a few of them are still serving in some capacity as glorified policemen? It’d be a nice nod if nothing else.

This will be a great opportunity for me and my older brother to restart our MUA1 team consisting of Doctor Doom, Mr. Fantastic, Doctor Strange and the Incredible Hulk, Doctors Without Mercy.

I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but he most recent fan-created contest was a choice between three new Titan-class versions of either Trypticon, Scorponok, or Omega Supreme. Trypticon won by a landslide, but I’d be very much surprised if Scorponok and, more importantly to you, Omega Supreme didn’t get made too,…

There’s actually a toy of that body right now, if that thing interests you. Combiner Wars Leader-class Starscream, it’s a retool of the earlier Generations Jetfire toy that works surprisingly well. There are also versions of Thundercracker and Skywarp (Thundercracker actually came first), but they lack Starscream’s G1…

Man, I hope if this takes off, they’ll give More Than Meets The Eye the same treatment. The comics are already very much in the vein of a TV show and it’s definitely not one they could air for kids without completely gutting it. But I live in hope.

Just after Christmas 1996, I was planning to use my stack of Christmas money that my grandparents used to give me to buy an N64, since a friend of mine at the time had one, and I had been absolutely enthralled by his copy of Super Mario 64, which I had never seen anything like at the time. But the night before we were…

So, Cammy’s ass is basically just hanging completely out at this stage. Right? That tiny strip of cloth that looks uncomfortably wedged between her cheeks barely covers anything. I know she’s always worn the green leotard, but I seem to recall it being just a tiny bit more modest in previous games.

I’m looking forward to Mankind Divided. I just finished the HR Director’s Cut a few weeks ago, though I had already played through the original version awhile back. I got the original Human Revolution for my birthday a few years ago, on my birthday. It’s a funny story, actually, it was a birthday present from my now…

That game had a lot of good, funny moments, now that I’m remembering it. There were two fights that ended up being particularly hilarious; the first was, for reasons I no longer remember, against a creature called The Skeleton Thing. The Skeleton Thing had actually been pulled from the Palladium Fantasy Roleplaying…

Okay, this goes back a ways to my very first roleplaying experience, with my older brother and his high school buddies in the late 90s. We were playing a game of RIFTS and my brother had finally relented to let me play with his group (he was the GM). So I rolled an alien psychic character from the South America 2…

I’m sure this isn’t who he’s playing, but I could buy Jeremy Irons as Warren Vidic.

I’m replaying the Director’s Cut right now and even with the new options, I found it easiest to just run up and Typhoon ‘em to death. A fully-upgraded Typhoon aug will kill Barret and Fedorova dead in two shots. Dead easy to do if you stunlock ‘em with HR’s greatest weapon, the stun gun. Don’t know about Namir, but…

Boba Fett MAY have survived the Sarlacc in the new continuity too. Aftermath by Chuck Wendig sort of hints at it in one of its interlude chapters, showing snippets of the galaxy post-Battle of Endor. One of them, as I recall, takes place on Tatooine where some discarded Mandalorian battle-armour that may be-probably…

I got to see Amazing Spider-Man 2 at a theater in Utrecht whilst visiting my brother during his year-long stay in the Netherlands two years back. It was a delightful experience, I totally understand your enthusiasm! Also, the Netherlands in general was just a delightful experience.

I’m not going to lie, this soccer promo is like one of my favourite Simpsons gags ever. So thank you for posting this, I haven’t seen it in years. XD

The Mad Max video game also has a very satisfying shotgun to use, I felt. Because it’s Max’s only real weapon aside from his fists and one-use shivs, and ammo for it is relatively scarce, it always feels like a big deal when you use it. And the way it tears through most enemies when you do? Perfection. Not to mention…

I mean, I understand the corporate thinking that led to its inclusion. “Awakening had kids and was popular, therefore Fates needs kids to be popular as well”. But Awakening was able to weave them organically into the plot and make their inclusion significant, and as a mechanic from a previous FE game was part of…

Uh, what my understanding is, is that the kids are shipped off to an alternate dimension after they’re born because of the war, and time flows differently in this other dimension so they age quicker (and are cared for somehow with the parents occasionally visiting) until they come of age (in some cases actually older…

I pre-ordered Conquest as a Valentine’s Day gift for my wife and I’ll pick up Birthright for myself at some point too. So we’ll each have one copy for ourselves. Works out for the best that way, I think.
