Speaking of anime, I started watching Stranger Things. It's an okay show but man it is the most fangless thing I may have ever seen.
lets keep this derail going and I'll say I also tried to watch it over my winter break and found it fine but yeah i felt no hook to keep going once i fell off the wagon

i should get back to twin peaks but Effort

I switch to Japanese voices in every fighting game where it's an option because someone literally saying "taste my blade" is the nerdiest thing ever.
the only thing nerdier than getting paid to say Taste My Blade in English in an anime fighting game, is actually playing an anime fighting game.

I love anime fighting games

Same. In third grade, I once helped dub a Japanese film because a friend's dad was on the project and they needed little kid voices. Not really related to anime, but getting to yell into a microphone about anything, totally rules.

Greg Kasavin gave Parasite Eve a 7 for being less than 15 hours and then went on to make several less than 15 hour games and I think about that more than I should.

his score is actually way too high that game is like a 6/10 if review scores werent fake. its a very average iteration on ocarina of time with a couple of decent dungeons but some annoying presentational issues.
twilight princess is a 7.5/10 at an absolute best, midna is the best thing about that game

e: i have amended my review, 3/5 stars. so i guess a 6 if we must translate it

My mom can absolutely gently caress up a game of Ms. Pac Man. She has memorized the patterns. We were once late to a movie cause my local theatre had a Ms. Pac Man machine. Now all she plays is Bejewled or Sudoku on her phone but I have seen the beast that lurks within.

I'm proud to have inherited my gamer skills from her

because it's cool to have more tangible artful and layered depictions of your own anxieties and fears rather than keep them inside your head

as a millennial, i felt genuinely healed after playing because of the commentary it makes on how to deal with those issues. it feels good to have another touchstone encouraging me through these dark parts of my life. the new life is strange did this for me as well.

it's a story about a lonely, depressed 18 year old with levitation powers and a teenage girl with super strength meeting a group of weirdos and fighting supreme evil while secretly conspiring together to punch the world and how their conspiring together to punch the world and the guy's frequent loving up at attempting to be a good evil henchman ultimately leads to them growing as people with each other's support

firewatch's ending is def a swerve and I get being bummed out by it but it absolutely fits the theme of the game. if you didn't like the message tho, i get that. gone home is probably pretty simplistic now, but idk, I like rummaging through poo poo. i'll rummage through whatever house you got, i'll read all the notes, i love it. i played through gone home in the dark on a stormy night, and i tell ya, it sucked me in

i want to play tacoma, but it's not on anything i got.
