Handing out a new mandate for the chat thread. From now on, if your planned and submitted post is going to consist of a single word, optionally with a period at the end, and that word is the name of a form of entertainment that is confusing to leave on its own outside the structure of a sentence, you are requested to follow it up with "To understand this meaning, first I must explain the premise of the 1987 movie, and later TV show, Harry and the Hendersons." Please also provide an appropriate description of the cast and plot of Harry and the Hendersons. I hope we can all adhere to this new guideline, and ensure thoughtful and productive posting in the future.

I assume BOF2 is Breath of Fire 2. I've never gotten into the BOF games... I think the last entry for the console market was in the Playstation 2 era?

They should have released the Sega Ages remake of Phantasy Star 1 and 2 for the non-japanese market, they look incredible.

Technically there was another BOF, titled BOF6 but umm...ehhhh..well..

The Ages remakes are a bit weird because they uh, kinda don't fix either game's problems? PSGen1 still has samey dungeon walls, no minimap, PSGen2 is still balls difficult in combat, grindy and the dungeon maps are still teleporter hell mazes and for some reason they decided to keep the stupid pipe overlay that makes it extremely hard to see. In a way it's neat that they're that faithful? But..yeaaaah.

I guess the solution is to play just phantasy star 4

You don't actually play PSO2, you spend money to get outfits and then sit in the salon making new looks.

PSO has always had the best fashion design in video games imo so this sits well with me.

To understand this meaning, first I must explain the premise of the 1987 movie, and later TV show, Harry and the Hendersons.

In the series, George and Nancy were an upwardly mobile two-career couple, with the former working for a sporting goods company. George eventually launched his own magazine, The Better Life, late in the second season. Initially helping the Hendersons with Harry's care, and Sasquatch research, was Walter Potter, a biologist working for the Department of Animal Control. Also seen early on were the Glicks, neighbors of the Hendersons; Samantha was a pretty, young single mother and reporter, and Tiffany was her precocious little girl, a classmate of Ernie's who had an obvious crush on him. Samantha, Tiffany, and Walter were all written out after the first season, but the aspect of having a girl next door who chased after Ernie was retained through a new character, Darcy Payne, for the 1991–92 season. Darcy was more annoying than her predecessor, and spent all her waking hours trying to make the Hendersons' young son hers. However, she did catch on to the fact that the family was hiding a bigfoot, and had several close encounters with Harry; fortunately, Darcy disappeared from the show before she could have exposed the secret about him. Nancy's younger brother Brett, a photographer, moved in with the Hendersons in the second season, and was also sworn to secrecy about Harry. When George began The Better Life in the spring of 1992, Brett was hired as the publication's chief photographer and a financial beneficiary.

The following year brought many changes, as in the season premiere Harry's existence was accidentally exposed. Just as the Hendersons feared he would be captured by the government and possibly killed, he was rather embraced by the public and received overnight regional fame. For a while, Harry had to adjust to a high-profile life full of exhibition and additional scientific studies, but at the same time the entire family got used to resting more comfortably now that they did not have to hide the big creature from view anymore. Hilton, a friend of Ernie's and the son of a local police chief, joined the cast in the third season.
