I had the VHS copy of this and the little kitten softly "meow"ing for help as he was about to be eaten by the rats was very disturbing. Especially when he was trapped in his own home and his mom and aunt couldn't find them.

EDIT: Here it is in full! God what a throwback. As messed up as this story is, I loved it as a kid and would watch it all the time.

Kind of mixed on this one for me. On one hand it's a win against microtransactions, since a big name like Marvel isn't enough for people to buy it, so much that it has to be delisted. I think that's a huge win and I think it's worth mentioning.

On the other, preservation is a thing and I'm wondering if this game could somehow still be played if it's taken off the store. Granted I'm not familiar with this game so I don't know if physical copies work, or if they're just codes with a plastic shell. Or even if this game would be playable once the servers go down. I know it's not the best game to keep around, but history deserves preservation, etc

Half Life 2 still looks and plays fantastic even nearly decades later

This one actually made me laugh pretty hard

I disagree. I think games are definitely worth preserving, even if they aren't that fun. Regardless, this game has historical significance and should at the very least be playable after it's delisted.

Ice cream! Ice cream! I'm aaalll out of ice cream!

It's the Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster. You can buy it on Steam, mobile, Switch, and PS4. As a vet, I definitely recommend it because they try to keep the gameplay and visuals similar to what it used to while making it less frustrating and more modern. 1-6 have all been remastered in this way and they're all very good.

My personal picks are V because of the multiclassing job system and VI for the incredible story. Despite its simplicity, FF I is a classic and I highly recommend it too.

I don't get it. Why are they at a Halloween party? Who burned the place down? Why is that guy wearing suspenders? No no no, this doesn't make sense at all. I'm off to read some high-brow Marmaduke, some actual humor I can understand.

SNES - Act Raiser - It's quite literally a mix of RTS and 2d action platforming. You build and manage your villiage while protecting it from monsters. Highly recommend!

N64 - Kirby 64 - Kirby is a game series that lets you eat enemies and gain their power. This one lets you combine powers! You can make fun combos, like rock + fire to make yourself a volcano, or electricity + bombs to make yourself into fireworks. Really fun and easygoing game! Worth playing through at least once.

PS2 - Parappa the Rapper 2 - A fun and weird game, Parappa 2 is a rhythm game where you have to repeat the raps your opponent dishes out using the face and L&R buttons. The setting and story make this game more than worth it, as you'll be saving the town against shrink rays, a mad hairstylist, and a noodle-hungry maniac. It's another fairly short game, you can beat it in two sittings if you're good. There's also a fun vs multiplayer mode.

As someone who tried them in order, I would say NO. The only real benefit you'd be getting is seeing how they evolve gameplaywise, but that could honestly be summed up in some article or video essay.

The games do not follow a single story. Each game takes place on a different world with different characters but use similar assets, like chocobos and moogles. Even characters named the same like Cid change drastically through each game. The main reason they still keep them numbered is to get you excited. They can always do Chocobo Kart or Theatrhythm or whatever spinoff, but when a mainline numbered Final Fantasy comes out, it's an event, like a step in FF's evolution. That roman numeral is like a stamp in history. It's very exciting.

I'd say the best one to start with is the one that interests YOU the most. Do some minor research beforehand and pick which one you'd like to play best. Even if you want to just play the new one, go for it! There's no tied story to the old games, so there's nothing you're really missing out on if you play XVI.

Nice job! If you love this one, I would definitely recommend Final Fantasy III, which gives you a ton of further class customization options via the Job System.

I swear if there's one comment saying "I don't get it" on this one...

I think they said they took it as a challenge to make it work, and on its own it's pretty good, but yeah the message would obviously get lost on kids who have no idea what sex is.

That, and it always bugged me that King George/David was told he shouldn't steal the ducky because he had "many duckies". Bearing in mind the original was a woman he lusted after.

Oh and fun fact, that was where the "what you did has made God very unhappy" meme comes from

Two extra panels of Scrapedo walking in, bonking his head on the overhang and going OWWCH-a!

"And, James Watt invented the steam engine!" That's a misconception. You're lying to everyone! Quit lying to everyone!

Jeff Porcaro was definitely one of the greatest drummers in the industry. That drum pattern is called the Rosanna Shuffle, and it's notoriously difficult to pull off.

Didn't know FF:TA was an Isekai the first time I played it and that somehow added to the experience lol

Honestly, it's not nearly as disturbing as those. Watership Down sticks with you for life.

of fucking course this is posted on my birthday
