People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Random game #11! Grandia 3!
I knew eventually we'd hit a game I couldnt safely remove the tags from... sigh. Thats one of those things as a collector that always hurts. Should buy a bulk of PS2 cases or something. Oh, the game, haven't played any Grandia game yet... and I think I have them all 🤷♂️

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

Random game 10# FF4:Advance!
Gotta be totally honest I don't have much connection to mainline FF games, and this might be one of the LEAST connected-to of the FF main titles for me. So I don't have much to say here, though its def a cool game from everything I've seen of it.

Cool fact: you can like a game that I don't & thats awesome! Glad you found joy in something that I couldn't
The inverse is also true in that I can like a game that you don't & by that metric you shouldn't crawl up my ass about how it sucks actually
my enjoyment (or lack of) shouldn't affect you!

Random game #9! REZ!
What a delightfully trippy game, REZ. I haven't finished it yet but I also get the feeling that just like... vegging out while playing through stages is kind of the peak of the games' vibe and experience... not really about grinding to credits y'know? I'ts... mellow.

Random game #8! Rodea the Sky Soldier!
Hoo boy anyone remember this guy? I actually have the 3DS release too. Its a neat game but maybe a bit undercooked. Shame about the weirdness surrounding the releases though. Would love to hear if anyone else has actually played this.

Random game #7! Contra!
JP Contra for the GameBoy to be specific but still. This was part of an amazingly weird pair of JP GB games I found at HPB while thrifting one day. And I chose the Command Gundam on purpose here (the other game wouldve fit too), but I doubt anyone will get the reference XD

Random game #6! Einhander!
There's plenty that can be said about this PS1 shmup gem. But I'm gonna tell you about how I was planning on recreating it in KH3 when I started then found it in the game as a constellation and also the secret boss. So like, thanks Squenix for that for me specifically.

Random game #5! MDK2 : Armageddon!
A game in the collection I have not yet played! I never had any real connection to MDK1 or 2, but their style really sticks out which I appreciate, and hey, you can just see the tag in this shot, I got this for 2 bucks at the Goodwill so like... why not y'know?

JAM Project doing Alex's new theme is awesome. But its funny to me that the character is now playing wrestling heel big time, but the theme is literally called "Go! Alex! Hope is Born!" and its noticeably very classic hero super robot sounding. I love it but it feels like a weird dissonance.

Oh yah here we go, this is a weird one! So this is a port of a PS2 game with the same name but you might not believe it cuz they changed the MC to this silver haired anime boy on the Wii for reasons! Also budget DMC combat. I love this wierdo game.

It's only three posts so far but theyve all been big name or beloved games, none of my weird stuff yet. But hey Tooie! This game was lots of fun and a great extension of BK1, but I do agree it feels a bit too long. Not the worst thing to be tho, oh no more good game!
