Re: Our next podcast recording (20.2.22) - 507: Kingdom Hearts / Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 ReMIX

Three Word Review: Sora, Dinner's Ready! So interestingly, it seems some have found the platforming lacking, and the story bad. I would have to disagree on both parts.  I don't think the platforming is bad because...it's not a platformer. That combined with the fact that Sora can grip edges(usually)...

Re: 507: Kingdom Hearts / Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 ReMIX

Some quick, spoiler free tips for those who are new: Your allies suck, don't expect them to live and/or help you. This appears to still be the case in 1.5 remix. Don't give your allies items unless you want them to use them haphazardly! Set your allies to 'manual' in the customize menu - you'll want...

Algebra 2 resources?

I know this is an odd ask, but as the saying goes, sh*t happens. I didn't really plan to go this route, but here I am: I’m prepping to take the Praxis for Math: Content Knowledge(5161), and I’ve been able to use Khan Academy so far to successfully pass 4 praxis exams. However, with Algebra 2, it see...

Re: 494 - Final Fantasy VII Remake / Intergrade

Making Shinra responsible for the bombings of reactor number 1 does not make any sense from story perspective. I'm a bit fuzzy on all the details, but I believe it's said they wanted to blame avalanche and restart the war w/ the (wutai?). You're still right in that they could've killed them and don...

Re: All things Resident Evil (Biohazard)

I haven't played Resident Evil 8, but I watched Matt McMuscles playthrough, and it seemed really weird. I admit I'm not the biggest Resident Evil head, and my experience with the series is limited to MVC2/3. Some thoughts: While it RE8 reviewed well, it seems to be more of an action game than a horr...

Re: Do you binge play video games or take your time?

This is an interesting question for me, because I play so many games that can't be 'binged' in terms of finishing them(mobile crapola/fighting games). I do tend to fall in love with games on first play, and end up obsessing over them. That being said, most recently I did mainline Guilty Gear Strive ...

Re: 482 - The King of Fighters series

I started with KOF 2002 Unlimited Match: So this is my first time playing KOF, and as per usual with fighting games I had to do a bit of searching on what exactly to do. I kind of felt like a kid in a candy shop seeing so many characters I’ve never played, and many I’ve never seen before. The combo ...

Re: Self-imposed rules on buying games?

I don't really have any strict 'rules', but even back when we got our first real humble bundles, I realized games were so cheap, and I was gonna have more than I could ever play. That combined with the fact I've basically always played games that can't be finished(mmos, fighting games, mobas), I rea...

Re: Guilty Gear series

The only downside is the weird 'Connecting to Server' loading screen at the start of the game which goes on a bit too long for my liking. That is because the game was very very hot out of the oven. It apparently tries to connect to japan's servers a whopping 127 times(https://www.reddit.com/r/Guilt...

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog

My big takeaway from this one is apparently there's a yuzo koshiro sonic soundtrack I need to listen to? But on the subject, as much as sonic games have faltered, they've been pretty solid musically. I probably don't need to go into too much detail w/ the sound of play special out there, but even co...
