You’re most welcome. And yeah, it’s strange—I double checked Google before posting the vids because, given the quality of the parodies, I figured they’d been hosted somewhere else before. But nope, nothing outside of YouTube. I concur—I really hope Penny Pixels gets more views.

Salutations~!

Cedric: oooo watch out, RBatty024: a POI-SONOUS snake!

Yeah, Carbuncle still freaks me out, but I’ll wholeheartedly admit the Baby Chocobo’s spike hairdo has some Super Saiyan appeal to it. So this definitely means I’ll be pre-ordering the normal version (where you get Baby Chocobo) but not the Digital Deluxe version (where you get Carbie & Cactuar). I suppose this’ll be…

Agreed. The companions in Pillars of Eternity aren’t bad or anything, but their rep as “tour guides with supped up personalities and backstories” isn’t far off either. As you note, their major personal journeys resolve in very much a “Choose Your Companion’s Own Adventure” kind of way. You’re not interacting in a…

Aww, thanks! I really appreciate that! ^^

AhhhhhhhhhhhhHHhhhHhhhhhhhhhhh~!!! What happened to Carbuncle and Baby Chocobo? Is this some secret, strange plot to ruin prominent animal character models from the ‘90s? Was the Sonic film actually a harbinger of doom? Is Yoshi next? Will Yoshi somehow get hot pants and a Mohawk?

That’s good to hear. And a great sign for the potential quality of the upcoming sequel, too. 

Glad you’re having a blast with Baldur’s Gate II. It’s a real classic.

Salutations~!

I agree with everyone else. Officer Debbie was a highlight and hilarious.

Yeah that’s true. There was very much a certain mystique and intrigue about the 8-bit to 16-bit age, especially due to the monthly and bi-monthly nature of magazine coverage available in the gaming industry. As you say, every new title featured AT BEST had ONE photo and accompanying text blurb (that more often times…

/cheer to your enduring support for underdog Yamcha, and for the TurboGrafx-16. I also had that blessed system. I concur. It definitely couldn’t hold a candle to the best of SEGA and Nintendo in the same age, but not for lack of trying.

Wow, I didn’t even know Theme Park got ported to the Jaguar. I recall it being one of PC Gamer’s first free demo disks, and then I poured dozens of hours into the PC version back in the day as a result. It’s really fascinating that the devs were able to get an abbreviated version to run on other systems (and agreed,…

I hope you have a great time with the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC. I heard a lot of people were disappointed with the main game so hopefully the DLC adds much more texture, personality, and charm into the mix. 

Oh wow, that’s pretty cool. That makes me realize this game really could have used some Munster star power or Corey Feldman ordering a pizza.

I bet once they get around to a game focusing on the Saga of Yamcha, then the franchise will have reached the appropriate stopping point.

Oh wow, did they alter the Imperial Agent storyline? I didn’t know you could SIDE with Janus. That’s pretty awesome. Maybe it’s because my Light Side points were so high. Nifty. I bluffed him and avoided a fight altogether by Spock Logic-ing him about the futility of a conflict.

Oh, Tongue of the Fatman is absolute garbage as a game. It controls terribly and it has a poor fighting roster. But there’s a weird, memorable insanity on display to its proceedings, I’ll give it that.
