I don't listen to a lot of straight Metal, Hardcore, or Punk, but I listen to a lot of the sub-genres that came out of those scenes. Emo, pop punk, post punk, new wave, post hardcore.

I have a Hisense from a year and a half ago. It's great. Basically the equivalent of a mid to high end range of a Samsung, but half the price. OLED was off the table because my main room is way too bright, and the TV would be practically useless during the day. It does 4k/120hz. Minimal input lag. Every HDR standard. I imagine I'll keep this one for a few years.

The first one on N64, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, was like a mix between a 3D platformer and OOT (though it came out a whole year before this). It's a great game with a lot of charm, though the translation is terrible and a lot of it makes no sense, but it's still funny. The emulation is notoriously tricky for this game, and considering the issues Nintendo has had with their 1st party titles, not sure how well this game would fare. The sequel, Goemon's Great Adventure, is a 2.5D sidescroller closer to the SNES games. Another great game that is really well polished.

Love the Goemon games. Would love to see Konami do anything with this franchise, even if it's just a collection. Most of the games never left Japan, and some of those PS1 games are even hard to find ROMs of. Doubt they would bother translating them though. I'm really surprised the DS game never came over here considering the install base for quirky titles. This game looks cool though.

I think that 100% will be a launch title.

It's even funnier that there's a freakin' new Mario game. Like how wrong can you possibly be?

Yoko Shimomura is back doing the arrangement too!

I really love all of the little flourishes to everything you do. The text, the sound effects, visual cues, animation touches... it's all a very slick and a creative take on Mario. Love the direction they're taking this, and not just playing it safe with the "New" series. I think they realize they can't just make straight platforming 2D Mario games anymore, since Mario Maker more or less makes them irrelevant, so they're really playing with lots of twists and unique spins and items. Looks awesome.

So excited for this and honestly never thought this would happen. I always got the impression Nintendo wanted to distance the Mario IP from this game because of how different it is. Love the arranged music, and the FMV cutscenes are a great throwback to that era.

Mitsuda is only a guest composer doing a handful of tracks. Still, the game has a lot of potential.

I haven't played a single Souls-like, not even the good ones like Nioh. Most of them just seem like they're missing a crucial element in one way or another that the From games have. I watched some streamers play this one, and the gameplay looks pretty good, but the world just felt uninspired. It just seems too ambitious for their budget and it feels lifeless. I should just give the demo a try though. If they can nail the gameplay, it could be at least fun to play.

I've played about 20 hours of Fallout 3 and 20 hours of Skyrim, and that's it for Bethesda RPGs. I like the idea of them, but just get bored with the execution. And honestly, those games would be better off without any combat. I think I'd rather just explore and do menial tasks rather than deal with a half-assed combat system. Starfield looks different though, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

If it's a visual only remake that takes the same artsyle and puts it in the HD 2D diaroma-style, that could be fine, but I just can't see what else they could do to "remake" the game. It's literally the perfect game. I can't think of anything to change. Even the music is perfect as it is.

Probably RE1. The others I don't care enough about or don't feel like they need a remake (like RE5).

What do you think being anti-woke means? From their bullet points: How many dog whistles do you need? These are crotchety white men upset with the changing landscape in America. And it's not just the diversity, it's the push for equality and equity that really gets their blood boiling.
