GoutPatrol posted:I played endless weekends of Teras Kasi with my brother and friends and that was a terrible loving game. Worse than the Episode 1 beat em up one. I don't really know if I can ever bring myself to consider it "terrible" because my friends and I had fun with it, but I won't claim it's a great game. Though it did have its moments, like one time winning a fight as Luke in the Dagobah stage, he does his post-win pose and quote, then falls into the swamp because he got positioned to ring-out after the fight. Or stuff like Darth Vader being able to dodge projectile weapons (because The Force), but if you used Han's seeker shot attack Vader just shuffles back and forth to dodge shots going over his head...which then turn right around and smack him in the back. Or debates whether Luke's pallette swap that puts him in ROTJ attire makes him more powerful than his default (because nerds). And also a Tusken Raider named "Hoar" because what the gently caress are we even doing.

I know Xizor is allegedly supposed to be a reptilian alien but he looks more like someone saw The Mandarin from the Iron Man cartoons that were on at the time and was like "what if that, but in space". So he's more like a Date Rapist Yellow Peril Man. Getting super turbomurdered by Luke + Friends and also Vader is barely good enough for him.

Plenty of forestry, swampland, beautiful waters (if you're in BC), and the people have a democratic government but also a queen for some reason. Also environmentally conscious (unless you're from Alberta) and nominally peaceful. "I wonder if there's beer in the core?"

It is hilarious how many times one of the main characters takes a moment to be amazed at how much Dash Rendar reminds them of Han Solo in Shadows of the Empire.

Soup du Jour posted:The Expounded Universe series on Shadows is definitely worth a listen and very Gleep-Glossaryesque. Yeah, that was a fantastic series. I'm currently working through their Crystal Star episodes, but it's not quite as good because Crystal Star isn't as insanely bad as Shadows, it's just a boring book.

I enjoyed the PSX demo disk talk. I had the exact same one. It also had a mech game and Cart World Series that never ended unless you passed the finish line. So, I would just drive backwards and crash into everyone.

GoutPatrol posted:Does the gleep glossary say that Dugs have more fast twitch muscle fibers so that's why their natural podracers? Episode I could have been saved if Obi-Wan had just confronted Sebulba and said "a dug? hey, I you a hole once, snrrrrk" and jetpacked away. Shadows is one of those games that was rad as gently caress in 1997 but is loving unplayable now. If they ever make "Dash Rendar: A Star Wars Story" (lol Dash Rendarrrrrrr) he should be played by Shia Lebeouf.

SotE definitely hasn’t aged well beyond that first stage. Early 3D platforming basically sucks rear end outside of Super Mario 64

That one stage that took like an hour didn't age well by the second time you played it.

Also, on Cabin and Eric's recommendation that the newest Tomb Raider is a solid fun-for-dumb-babies hangover movie, I checked it out. They're not entirely right, but I was actually surprised at how cohesive and mostly-not-stupid it was. (Also, If you've played the Tomb Raider reboot from 2013, you have absolutely no need to watch the movie.)

It was basically a perfect plane movie but be warned that the first like 30 minutes are utterly worthless. Should've just done what the game did and just start with her getting shipwrecked. We could've had more Walton Goggins!
