Now I'm just imaging his chauffeur in a Rolls, parked outside a skeezy strip mall, waiting for his boss to come back from his "massage".

The fast travel system gets better with a warping ability you pick up later in the game, but it doesn't help that much. I don't think the fast travel system is what makes the game feel tedious at times. Now, I love the game, but I can see the fault here. The bigger issue is the last of benches. You look at Super Metroid and there are save rooms leading up to boss battles. It makes retrying a boss a simple task. Face someone like the Traitor Lord in Hollow Knight and the closest bench is behind a series of spiked room platforming segments. Also, since there's no real health indication on bosses, you never know how close you are to beating them. Right now I'm facing the Watcher Knights and I haven't a clue on how many times I need to go through these guys before they're down. Then again, I can probably look it up, but I've been trying to avoid FAQs for this game.

Hollow Knight definitely veers into annoyingly difficult territory every once and a while. I had no issue with Celeste's difficulty. It ramped up nicely and there was no real penalty for retries. Hollow Knight needed more benches in more strategic places. Since boss battles could often pop up out of nowhere, it could make backtracking annoying.

For the executive, I can see the idea of moving military money to cover "emergency" costs. I don't see how that would work moving other federal dollars into the military. That said, if this passes muster, I see no reason a future Democratic president couldn't declare a climate change emergency and reappropriate military dollars to green initiatives.

If Platinum is busy with Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain, this seems like the perfect game to have Monolith Soft colab on. We don't even know what they're working on right now.

I'd categorize him as a serial killer, not a mass shooter. That, however, leaves him just as much a outlier.

I shouldn't have rushed that one. Either way, point stands. The state looks to be growing about an average rate when compared to the rest of the country. Looks like expensive col states and states with a weak job market suffer the most, but it's probably not something the state really notices since California has a pretty young population compared to the rest of the nation.

Who is leaving California?

You just described like every Final Fantasy.

He's going to shocked when he realizes there are actually minorities that post on these boards.

This sucks for kids shoes. They're the only retail store that carries toddler shoes in wide and half sizes that isn't unreasonably expensive for a shoe that's only going to fit for like three weeks. That said, they have WAY too many stores. I can think of three or four stores a short drive away.

Pulling Nike products hurt, but selling $320k worth of Nike stuff half off out of spite is ridiculous.

Ah, yes. The empowering power ballad about throwing away your home and family to live as a hermit that doesn't care about the wintery death you've laid upon the innocent citizens of the country you just promised to shepherd like two hours earlier.

Wasn't that purely for marketing reasons? Like, her song was too good for a villain, so let's switch things up. That's how you tell a good story, right there. The movie is just so unevenly paced, but it never becomes truly bad. It just slinks away into forgettable territory. I just rewatched the movie like three times, so the mess is very fresh in my head. Kids. I'm so happy my kids like Moana and Coco a lot more than either Tangled or Frozen.

How are there this many people that enjoyed Frozen? The movie is just a mess. Characters don't act in ways that make any in-universe logic nor does the story make a lick of sense. The movie flows like a film that was rewritten in the lead up to post under a new director that had nothing but contempt for film's original direction. None of Frozen's problems are ones that Moana or even Tangled has. Moana is just neat and tidy all the way through. It's also the closest, I believe, Disney had ever gotten to recreating the magic Studio Ghibli has been cranking out for decades; only they also managed to throw in a ton of great music on top of it.

Tetris 99 is pretty great. It's wildly simple, but just works. The game really picks up one you get into the top 50. I think it keeps speeding up from there, but I haven't really noticed it until I get into the top 10. That's when it goes crazy followed by the top 5 where everything is just an instant drop.

You should fix that. They're both so very good with some incredible soundtracks.

Biggest surprise for me, outside of Link's Awakening had to be Rune Factory 5. I was positive that franchise was dead. I wonder if they'll go top down 2D like the handheld titles or full 3D old the console ones.

I'm fully ok with a Frozen sequel if it's better than the first one. I'll be extra ok with it if the soundtrack is actually good. The two most recent Disney music-heavy animated films are Moana and Coco and those both have phenomenal soundtracks. Cars 3 was a good, earnest effort. It wasn't great, but at least Pixar was trying. Let's see if Disney can pull off the same effort.

Trump is totally going to take it with him when he leaves the White House. I actually have zero issue with this. Presidents need downtime and if that downtime can be had on the White House grounds, then all the better. That said, Trump has a whole lot of executive time, so I'm not all that sure he really does need any more down time.

Yeah, but a boat killed her parents.

Yeah, this has been a pretty solid season so far. If the worst we get is that pickup episode, then we'd be in pretty good shape.

I hate to admit that it was. I really did not care for Frozen. The movie was forgettable and the music, doubly so. Moana is leagues better. Even Tangled was. I really hope Disney is actually going for something good here other than a cash grab. I know with Frozen, it's really tempting to just go the cash grab, route, but still.
