Sounds similar to my adolescence lol....I fought through Ninja Turtles back in the day but Battletoads would piss me off glad the controllers were connected to the NES can’t throw them. That damn hoverbike board the bane of my existence.

Regarding that first NES game: I personally never found the dam level that hard (though I admit the swimming controls are really finicky).

It moves kinda like the aliens in Mac & Me.

The backlash wasn’t really because of what she was saying; it was because she was saying anything at all.

The ideas where *so incredibly* basic, 100 course level, surface-skimming concepts that the fact The Gamers(tm) reacted the way they did still dumbfounds me when I think about it. I cannot think of a single thought experiment more harmless than any concept she discussed.

It really says a lot about the world we’re living in that a woman doing a basic, surface-level feminist reading of video games became such a lightning rod.

To not like them, find them boring, or subjectively his “very worst” is fine, but…

Easily the second-funniest Rom-Com Moment Of The 90s...

I’d add Conker’s Bad Fur Day onto the list. It’s such an incredibly depressing ending. Not even trying to be funny. At the end of the day, he’s left a traumatized alcoholic who’s king of the heap purely by accident, surrounded by people he hates, totally unable to get his old life back.

Mine would have to be StarTropics. Knowing that you saved that last seven children of an alien race from extinction still gets me verklempt, even 30+ years later.

I loved TLoU2, but I think the reason why the whole “you should sympathize with Abby too!” angle didn’t work is because the game first showed her brutally…

Whenever someone asks me if Tenet is too complicated, I tell them that it’s basically Thunderball, except with time travel instead of scuba diving.

A real fan would take the card and cast it into the fire.

the ads on this site are ugly and the user interface is awful. i’m gonna buy re2 though how about u
