Super old, but young at heart - used to write about games (GameFan / EGM), now I get to help make them (Destiny / CoD / unannounced cool stuffs)!
I caught last week’s P1P super late, but the Q&A at the end was awesome - proud of you mans!

Watched through S1 again last weekend, and am half way through S2. I was an idiot and didn’t fully apprecaite this series as a teen, but man I’ve made up for it since then.

Talk about a picture you can hear, this just fired me back like 25 years.

I love everything about this

Let’s just say a friendship was ruined, the next holiday was _very awkward_, and I never saw the tape again. I did grab a DVD copy years later, and yup, super understood why. Hah.

Now, if I knew the drama that would errupt from this, I would have burned the tape before letting that happen, but I had _zero idea_ what contents were.

Holy crap, ok, get this. I bought Urotsukidoji on a school art trip in London, because it was the #1 selling Anime at the Virgin Megastore. Naturually I didn’t have a tape player that would work, but my _old german grandmother_ said her _best friend_ would be able to transfer the movie.

I was at Spark when this was going down - not on that project, but lol it was never great. Can’t believe they hired the creator of Tomb Raider to be the lead? Like, it will confuse me to the end of my days.

I still legit miss it :(

Yeah, the closest mall is in Montclair (which is where I worked at Babbages, hah). Trust me, living in that area during the B&T days was a bit of a constant letdown.

THAT said, the church across the street from my high school was the one in The Graduate. So, uh, yay?

Hah - so I lived in LaVerne, the city right next to San Dimas for most of my “living with the parents” life. That SD Station had a pretty rocking game shop for years, but it likely moved by 2003? Did you hit Raging Waters?

If I had even an ounce of coffee left in my mouth it would have been all over my screen

Yupppp - damn kids today have it so good, _except_ when it comes to late 90s through mid 2000s Akihabara shopping.

The drinks have already clearly stared.

How long has this been going on? I found out I have full on Meniere's after those symptoms. GET TO A DOC (well, a ENT), I waited far too long and lost a ton of hearing because of it. 😬

I want to say some of the d/n cycles are based on story beats, but it's been a while.

Like I think I pretty much hated that mode until I loved it and then suddenly was sad I had it maxed out, hah.

Uh, I think this was the guide I used. Like @whimsicalphil.bsky.social said, it makes no sense until it does - super easy way to make loads of money super quick.
