CastlevaniaNut18

Final Fantasy went to shit after IX. 

You weak mofos keep comparing TMNT in the arcade vs. NES, bitches I own both. The NES port is perfectly competent, though brutal and I much prefer the arcade version based on that alone.

RE4 was a fantastic and revolutionary game for its time and I think it still holds up today, though it's been surpassed by newer and better games.

I can't imagine how anyone could find The Witcher 3 bloated. It was some of the best side content I've ever seen in a game. Nothing really felt wasted. 

Just a few thoughts after reading the last couple pages.

Got this in today

I'm just ready to go to Wrigley at next month.

Fenway is awesome, I definitely plan to go back.

My husband modified some Saturn and SNES controllers to use with our PCBs.

Plus, a lot of insurance fully covers the cost of a yearly. It's a no brainer. 

I'm 30 and I have high cholesterol, which I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't gone for a checkup.

If things are fine, I'd agree you don't have to go every year, but as a guy in his mid-late 30s, like Def, it's not a bad idea to go and get a baseline on your labs, especially if you can afford it. 

I'd easily put Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI on the list of best RPGs of all time. Along with Witcher 3. Those games have held up incredibly well. 

Newer doesn't always mean better.

My hair is really oily, so I have no choice but to wash it daily. And I shower when I get up. If I got particularly dirty, I'll do a quick one before bed, but normally I just do a wash at the sink. 

My hair is so bad, it gets really oily if I wash it, then sleep on it for a while.

I’d probably have to choose DS lite because of all the Igavania’s that released on it. 

One of the saddest things about the 3DS was it didn't have a proper Castlevania title.  

Finished It Can't Happen Here. Yeah, it was a good read, all  the way. It's satire, but it's very relatable to the current political climate. 

Now reading Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic, by David Frum. I enjoy reading his articles in the Atlantic.  Also reading Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz, by Omer Bartov. It's a look at how the Holocaust affected this border town(at the time)between Poland And Ukraine. 

Love pepperoni, tomato, mushroom, green pepper, onion

Hate pineapple, olives

I'm indifferent to anything else. 

I love pineapple, but it doesn't belong on pizza. At all. 

I probably played PS2 more than any other console I've owned. Yet I don't feel much nostalgia for it. It was amazing at the time, but most of the games haven't really held up well, they've had improved sequels or remasters/remakes. 

It's actually one of the smaller subsets in my game collection.

From the article:

 

 

It sounds like taking it off the guy's head while he was wearing it is what bumped it up to a felony.

The guy is a douchebag, but that really seems to be stretching it. 

How does stealing a cheap hat qualify as a felony? 

You basically agreed with what I just said. :P 

Yeah, JRPGs got their start on NES, with Dragon Quest, then Final Fantasy. But the golden age is generally attributed to the SNES. Those series hit their peak in the 16-bit era, not to mention the genre really expanded then. 

It took off and became pretty mainstream with the PS1 and the release of FF7. 

Eh, there's not really much in the way of JRPGs on NES that appeal to me. Yeah, it started the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series, but those didn't get awesome til SNES. Other than those games, I don't even think I own any JRPGs on NES and my collection spans nearly 200 NES/Famicom/FDS games. 

SNES. I never had one as a kid, but that thing is just golden. I love the 16-bit graphics and it has some of the best games of all time. So much quality with that system.

Runner up would be the PS1. It was the system where I really started getting into games and it's got a ton of stellar titles. SNES began the greatness of JRPGs and the PS1 took it to the next level. 

I'll also just add that my world wouldn't end if Retro were collapsed in with everything else. It just more annoys me that people who have never been part of that little sub-community want to make suggestions on what to do with it, when those of us who do enjoy it there like it the way we have it. 

I guess it's just weird to me that people can't click on a link to a forum when it's right in front of them. If it's an area I have interest in, I'm gonna click on it from time to time.

I'd almost forgotten that Japan still had capital punishment. 

Actually, I'd love to see black people step up and do something like this. For a minority that has been so persecuted for centuries in this nation, blacks are generally quite unsupportive of the gay community and religion is 100% to blame for that.

I am actually leaning towards the Vita on this one... the available PSP library is fantastic on top of a lot of solid high budget titles and some amazing indie ports. I find the 3DS to be very weak and extremely reliant on ports of OLD games. For most people I feel the 3DS is a better choice because of DS BC (which had a much stronger library) but the Vita just has a strong amount of games I go back to not just one and done experiences. 

See, I feel the Vita relies too heavily on ports and BC, probably more so than the 3DS. Don't get me wrong, it's a great system to hold in your hands and look at and I love having my PSP library all in one place. But the thing has hardly any true exclusives. I hardly have any Vita games these days, as I've sold most of them because they're on other systems or I just didn't care enough to keep them. Meanwhile, I've still got 59 DS games on my shelf(not counting digital stuff), most of which are original titles for the system. 

Sony just dropped the ball with the Vita and it's a damn shame. 

Edit: I actually only have 7 physical Vita games, none of which are exclusive. They were either console ports or were ported to other platforms later on.

Jurassic World 7/10

It was a fun popcorn flick, without much depth. About what I expected. I'll probably see Fallen Kingdom when it comes to home release.

Obviously. I’m talking about this specific thing. 

Maybe Filipinos have a monopoly on this?

Seems like a pretty small thing. Gotta get other asians, black people, latinx people, etc.

Is for me, but I generally like playing these games on my own, with a little local MP on the side.
