Kojima's already made like four decades of good games, so even if Death Stranding and all his future projects are potatoes, he's still got a better track record than Lucas.

Punished "Venom" Snake is one of the most aesthetically-pleasing names in all of video game history.

Punished as both a strange descriptor and vaguely sounding like a given name, and "Venom" always in quotation marks, also descriptive but doubles as a nickname as opposed to the more formal title-like Punished

And it's portable enough that you can add "Punished" to anyone with an eyepatch and/or a horn and it works as a reference

The guy hired to do the cutscenes for Twin Snakes originally did a 1 to 1 remake of the game but Kojima told him "I hired you because you make The Matrix look like High Noon" and we got back flipping rockets instead.

Twin Snakes was flashy but felt wrong. It wasn't until they organically added nanomachines, AI, and cyborgs in 2, laid the backstory in 3, and blew things wide open with 4 that it became totally justified for this to happen in Revengeance

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!




This has been, by far, the hardest thing I've had to do in this game so far. I'd love an individual screen death counter because I'd love to see how many lives I've lost to this godforsaken part of the level. And this is only the second B-side, and I haven't even started the fifth stage yet. I am terrified of what comes later

edit: wow ya know what no, the room right after that is far more irritating

edit: Oh that was the end. I feel exhausted :toot:

I didn't find that room too bad but other ones certainly kicked my rear end.

I think I say this everyone but I still feel bad for not just doing everything but thinking about some of those stages ramping up their mechanics just made me want to move on to other things. As tight as that game is, almost every mechanic was slightly wonky enough to make me shudder at the thought of having to do it over and over again reliably.

The only mechanic I was really not a fan of was the bumpers in chapter six. Those just felt so much more finicky than everything else up to that point

Conversely I loooove the dream blocks from chapter two, pump that mechanic into my veins

I always liked the fan theory that twin snakes was just the version of the events as published in the nastasha romanenko book.

I wasn't really a fan of snake just doing random backflips on his own, especially when it seemed like it was his answer to literally every problem.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Can't wait for SWERY's Cat Game? Well, good news, he has another one coming in 2018 called The Missing, of which we know...nothing

"A missing person, someone who's lost, or even something lost. Maybe it's your loved one… or a place you belong. Do you ever feel lost in your everyday life? The Missing is for someone like you."

Im like one colossus away from beating sotc and i have mixed feelings about the optional hints being both condescending and not helpful enough on a first play through and the puzzles relying on extremely slow enemies doing a finicky thing when they feel like it.

Those were pretty terrible. The clouds were a little finicky too.

I think my plan to use the poison greatsword to keep damage going in between big hits was foolish since the proc rate seems too poor even with maxed poison skills. But I probably also need to just get more familiar with the weapon and good ways to land hits more often.

The guy who leaked that Sonic Forces was going to be OC customization based has now said that Sumo isn't working on Sega All-stars 3, but a straight Sonic kart racer instead. That seems like a really dumb regression of the series so it's probably true.

We were so close, but the idea of Yakuza characters, Bayonetta and Billy Hatcher racing together will still be just a dream for a while longer.
