I think the most common complaint is that MGS2 is went off the rails compared to MGS1. But I think it'd just been so long since most people played MGS1 that they forgot. Because man does that game do some crazy shit.

I wouldn't qualify creeps as trash mobs, as the reward you get for killing them is very useful and important. I'd define a trash mob as something that only exists to waste your time. A kobold in WoW that drops a couple copper as opposed to a boss in a dungeon that drops a brand new weapon that you can use. Creeps, on the other hand, always reward gold if you get the killing blow, which is your only renewable resource in a game like that.

I had, but then I realized they'd never do it. ): We can dream, though. King of Pain for life!

Dark Souls does this amazingly well. The first hard boss is the taurus demon on the bridge and it tends to wreck people new to the game like nobody's business. But then later, they're a regular enemy, but it doesn't feel hard because you've gotten so much better at the game. It's a really great moment.

Whenever Yoshi's Wooly World is released, I assume, which I think is October? I only want one Yoshi you crazy people getting three are crazy. Seems like NA is getting every Amiibo later than everyone else, these days. Australia already has Ganondorf and Zero Suit Samus and whatnot, but we have yet to get Dark Pit and Palutena (coming July 31). Shit's weird, but eh whatever.

I've never played beyond MGS2, but I bought the legacy collection for my new PS3, so I'm-a do 'em all. I also have Ground Zeroes from PS Plus. I'm sure I'll buy MGS5 at some point (well, assuming I actually like 3, 4, and 5-prologue). This is good times.

I thought I was the only person in the world who actually liked MGS2. Anyway I played through MGS1 over the past few days. That game is really good until it becomes frustratingly fucked up in the last three sequences. Rex, Liquid, Liquid-in-a-car. Especially Liquid. Fuck. I do not remember the game being that ridiculously difficult.

Oh so that's what my friend was talking about.I guess he did it. ...I'm kind of tempted but I know I shouldn't. I can't.I won't. I might? I can't.

And unfortunately it's really boring. ):

They're officially announced. I dunno when they're coming out, though. This says "Holiday 2015" http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo/line-up

Yeah he gets real big for some reason.

Except for the part where I basically rant to myself about a shitty Dragon Ball Z movie. Well, I mean, I like that part, but listening to it, I'm like who in their right mind wants to hear me talk about this! Also honestly I could just add a new domain to my webhost and start throwing the episodes up there. We don't really need anything more than an RSS feed (for now), right? I mean if we make it big (haha), my current hosting plan won't be able to keep up with bandwidth costs, buuuuut until that point?

You're missing that AMD cards have terrible drivers and are terrible. i'm not biased i just have a history

Being a Hunter in L4D is pretty great. And also feels significantly different from being a Boomer in L4D! Or even just survivor.

Quake vs. Red Orchestra is a pretty huge divide.

Mirror's Edge! Except I guess there's no shooting there. EDIT: Okay well osmo beat me to it! Dishonored does feel great, too.

Nah!

Also it's technically not a Dragon Ball Z movie, so my original claim that I've watched every DBZ movie except the latest one was actually correct! Also maybe not even a Dragon Ball movie, since it's two words and that movie has it as one. Tsk tsk tsk.

If only, then maybe I could convince people who are bad at video games that they're actually the best games.

Lots of people bad at platformers in this thread geez!

I don't have opinions, just observations!

Okay except that one I'm not watching that one.

I have now watched every Dragon Ball Z movie (barring the very newest one, Fukkatsu no F/Revival of F/Resurrection of F), as well as all the OVAs. I DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER DOING THIS There were a few movies that were fun, I'll admit, but by and large it's really bad. The one shining quality was that the people making these movies must've had like a long-running joke to stick in these things: Piccolo coming out of nowhere to save Gohan from getting beaten down, Krillin getting knocked away and saying something along the lines of "Why is it always me?!", and Vegeta coming out of nowhere to save Goku before muttering "I didn't do this to save YOU!" and/or "If anyone's going to kill Kakarott, it's going to be ME!" Also my friend says, although I didn't catch it myself, that there was a recurring stock "what is that crazy thing flying through the sky" lady wearing sunglasses in at least two of the movies. --- In other news, I finished Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, and here's what I wrote on my big ol' anime spreadsheet as far as impressions go: "at first a ridiculous parody of the magical girl genre, humorous and pandering to the male-love gaze (??), turned into a pretty good, if still silly, story of friendship and, well, LOVE". I think that sums up my feelings pretty well. --- Last season ended. Punch Line was I don't know. Middling? More story than I expected. Less humor than I expected. Fanservice throughout, although, I dunno, it didn't feel pandering? Even though it obviously was. Not worth watching, IMO. Maybe someone can convince me to hate it. (Or love it???) Sound! Euphonium was great. Oh man oh geez. I will fight you, NS! I got right emotional for that last episode! (Although, admittedly, although I liked the character arcs, it's mostly because of the concert band angle.) Kumiko is me, except she realized she loved playing her instrument far before I did, and I realized far too late. ): JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders we already talked about on the podcast we do, but it was good. Good ending. Hope they keep doing it. --- New season has started. Rokka is fucking beautiful. Still skeptical of the shitty sexy costumes on all the ladies, but goddamn if that wasn't an amazing first episode. It's clearly drawing from Aztec and other cultures in that region/time as far as aesthetics go. Durarara continues to follow way too many characters in exactly the right way. I'm into it. GATE was dumb, I watched it on a whim. But I think I'll keep watching it. It'll be my fallback shitty anime for the season. You always gotta have one, right? Dragon Ball Super!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
