Herzog Zwei. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. You are absolutely right, Peter. This is the best RTS almost no one has played. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s THE gold standard for how to execute an RTS for consoles. Such a good game, and an extremely unique experience to boot!

Never played? I played this shit out of this as a kid. Pronounced on the other hand... I’m not sure that the child me ever said it the same way twice. 

This game was the tipping point into me getting the Nintendo Switch Online Service.

Using this neat little party trick in photoshop reveals even more!

This is so fucked up and funny. I loved this.

This was a joy to read, Peter.  

My boys are years away from driving, but if I ever got a call from the cops late at night about one of them playing Speed Racer in my car I’d politely ask them to keep the kid until morning. 

Let the Audi go.  Impound the kid.

Obviously a white driver or the outcome would have been different and faster

They say it’s not the destination that matters. But it turns out, it’s not the journey either.

Someone needs to tell that baller that reliability doesn’t transfer with the badge.

Yeah I don’t much know if it was smarts (but thanks!) as persistence. I completely fell in love with the idea of the game right from the jump, and I’ve always been the type to just hack away/obsess at something til I figured it out if it’s something I’m interested in, something my mom encouraged with that game strongly…

I beat the game when I was 7.

“Hey guys, just do crime, okay?”

Oh, this is some fishy shit.

At risk of sounding like a snob, I just kinda don’t see what the big fuss was. At a minimum I don’t find them as interesting as the stuff on my list or these honorable mentions. Which isn’t to say they’re bad (I thought GoW and Spider- Man in particular were really fun when I was playing them) but they didn’t stick…

Curious, did you deeply dislike the more mainstream juggernauts like RDR2, Spiderman, GOW, or did you just not play them?

I was one of the people whose debt was forgiven with the help of this organization! I got a letter in the mail about two weeks ago, and thought it was total bullshit at first. Very grateful for this. I’m in North Carolina, though, and the debt was incurred in Phoenix, so I don’t think this organization works…

My apologies for the length of this. I wanted to e-mail it to you but since I can’t find your e-mail address:
