Just another stowaway from the bird dumpster fire. Go Philly sports teams. I’m so tired, guys.
I’m so sorry, man.

The fans and pundits, you expect to talk about that stuff. But when it’s being advertised by some tech dork who has never even heard of LeBron James, that’s when you know it’s over.

Once I heard podcast hosts reading ads for FanDuel, sounding like they had never even heard of Michael Jordan, (as in, didn’t know a guy named Michael Jordan used to play basketball, nevermind the Fly Game and all) I knew that the law was the only hurdle keeping that shit from getting everywhere.

I’m old enough to remember listening to sports betting ads on podcasts, read by hosts who sounded like they didn’t know the difference between a first down and a firstborn. I’m not surprised, but I’m also horrified, at how insidious this stuff has gotten since.

Yeah, I am an unapologetic Kojima fanboy but he really does love trying to explain things in as neat a package as possible. Sometimes keeping the mystery is a good thing.

A Kojima Soulslike would have you know everything about every boss like ten minutes into the game.

I need it.

Yeah Kojima really had his work cut out for him tying up as many of his own loose ends as possible with the way he basically made his canon explode

Yeah but they kiiiiiiiinda cheapened her by having her get cozy with a high-ranking Navy officer to become a captain.

Fuck the haters.

~ Best opening in the franchise
~ Best FF girl (Quistis)
~ Best world map theme
~ Incredibly fun to break the game wide open once you figure out the system’s nuances
~ This game and the Dreamcast had the country in a DEATHLOCK in 1999.

Indeed.

Twin Snakes isn’t as good as the original, and the cutscenes, in the words of Peter Griffin, “insist upon themselves,” but hearing Mei Ling speak like a natural human without a forced accent was a relief.

Also, the way she asks Snake to catch her a Pikachu in Brawl is so, so adorable.

VIDEO GAME: THE MOVIE.

There are a lot of aspects that did not age well (Mei Ling’s dodgy Chinese accent, I’m looking at you), but the rest of it is great. Truly the first game I ever played that tried to be something deeper.

Shame about everything it inspired, though.
