Alright, acquired a gamerip from the GameCube version. Thank you Shusaku Uchiyama & Makoto Tomozawa - those are some sick tracks.

Turns out those are recycled P.N.03 tracks. Fuck it, I'm in.

Honestly all of these Mercenaries tracks from RE4 are bangers. I need to go back and play that mode.

I even deleted an application off of my phone to try and instal Shazam for the first time in like 10 years to try and find it. Of course it fucking didn't. So then I had to remove it to get my program back. Complete waste of time. Ended up figuring it out on my own, using my own brain. Take that!

Resident evil 4 Mercenaries OST ~ Menu

I heard this track in the back of a video and god help me, I couldn't figure out where I'd heard it. I thought it was from Half Life 2 because of the sounds it used, but I knew it was bullshit. I really like it and just wanted to listen to it.

I've been rewatching 2005's Lost, which starts off rather slow and boring, but by the end of that first season, when it finally gets going - that's some fucking television right there.

My favourite recurring track in any video game has to be The Heavies from Bayonetta. The way it progressed from "The Heavies" into "The Heavies (2nd Climax Ver.)" to "The Heavies (SC Climax Ver.)" makes me rock hard. Those songs are all three to four minutes of someone attacking a detuned piano.

This was my last attempt (embarrassing), and you can tell the exact point I quit at two years ago.

Obviously, they put it near the bottom of the Valstrax for the game covers, but please note they're either square or tall. That and they have to scale the key image quite a lot, so that the logo can even fit between the two hunters - clashing colours and all.

For reference, this is the MHGU/XX key art. I've also provided how they style the logo on the main splash screen for the menu (i.e. having given up). Try placing it anywhere on that key image without losing anything you yourself deem important.

In today's minor graphic design victory, I tried to redo the MHGU/XX key art I had. For anyone who has tried to do this, you'll know what a pain it is working with the available boxart. Ended up layering a bunch of profile backgrounds, some renders and inverse colour overlays to make it pop more.

Really proud of the design I cobbled together for the new Nioh series. So many little things just all falling into place.

Not to mention, now I have to fucking worry about running any software of that kind on any of my machines, because god knows what kind of internet syphilis it's carrying. Literally poisoning the well every opportunity they get, because of "engagement" and "increased CPM". Fuck you, you daft cunts.

"Look I ported Bloodborne to PC!" Dude, you ported my dick up your ass. I've seen how long it takes to decomp something without any symbols. I've seen how few of those projects get completed over the years and how much manpower and time it takes. Fuck this done in an afternoon shit.

I love that in the span of like two month, the terms "native PC port", "static recompilation", and "decomp" have been completely stripped of their meaning. Instead, it's all some kind of made up LLM bullshit, which people are cashing in for a quick 15 minutes in the spotlight.

I have this theory (fear?) that I might secretly be a lolcow in Japan, because of this one Riichi Mahjong stream I did in January. It's one of my most viewed things ever and it consistently gets more and more attention over time. It is otherwise unremarkable, but I must have done something wrong.

I think Nagoshi ending up whacked by either the triads or the yakuza would be some kind of hilarious divine irony.

Forget everything I said, YouTube has given me something intrinsically better than any design.

And look at how well the logo fits into the composition. How the colours match what's in-game. How the blonde hair works with the highlights. The gold glow! I guess they really didn't want Ashley on the cover, as to not scare the g*mers that there's a girl in this game and they might get cooties.

Like, it *looks* like someone took a bunch of 3D renders and slapped them on top of one another and then hoped it would work. This, in a game that has this for it's main title's backdrop:

The GC one is the most iconic, but it's also the most bodged together. Leon is given an outer glow to pop, the crowd behind him kinda loses definition and has its shadows bumped to pure black. The logo is both drop shadow'd, outer glow'd and motion blur'd because it needs all the help it can get.

100 0

I think it's either the NTSC Wii version or the PC cover, which finally gets somewhere that's a good compromise. They settle on the blues and blacks, even though the game doesn't really look like that, and the logo has a place to go for the most part.

100 0

Even on mine, you can see part of it covers up the chainsaw guy. The primary colour is either cool blues, pinks, 255 red, or white void. The logo is gray, so they need a drop shadow and that iconic (to me) Capcom motion blur'd outer glow. The PAL version looks best to me, but isn't seen as iconic.

In trying to make a good thumbnail for RE4, I have come to the opinion that all official box-art for that game is flawed on one way or another. Like, it works, in terms of the renders being cool compositions, but that logo is so difficult to place anywhere on that image without fucking it up.

I think I need a setting that lets me filter reviews by word count, at this point. I'm all for quips and jokes, but at some point, I find myself scrolling down a list of reviews and it's all one-liners and boot licking. Hot takes and impulse opinions. Fucking exhausting.

FFXI FREE TRIAL TIME RESTRICTION HAS BEEN REMOVED!! HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MMO FINAL FANTASY XI, WITH ITS UNLIMITED TIME FREE TRIAL, AND YOU CAN PLAY UP TO LEVEL 75?

Two adevnturers from FFXI with a dragon silhoutte in the background. Text reads "The free trial just got even freer!"

Sorry, man. That sucks. Silver lining is, they spent no time on this, so their interest is just about as fleeting as it gets. Putting in the effort to polish that and sell it is way more hassle than the initial "I wonder if..." question. You on the other hand have the resolve to get it done.

This comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me, but if given the choice between the two, I am pouncing on that delicious melty cheese any opportunity I get.

Eventually I did violate my own principles a little bit and looked up how people do it. The answer varies between sick precision movement and last-moment dodges, and "walk into this room, get him stuck on this corner, and shoot him 60 times" and "if he breaks free, just go in and out and reset".

Now, you'd think by that image that I am the shit for beating those first two Nemesis encounters, but I'll have you know, I took some nerve damage having to reload a save twenty times per encounter, because of how much shit I was eating. Hold to skip cutscene. Fail a dodge. Die. Reload.

I kind of know some things about this game. How, I can't rightly tell. I know that Hard Mode is the Normal Mode that isn't piss easy. I know that if I stand my ground and beat Nemesis I get cool gun parts. And I know it finally has quick turn. Other than those broad strokes - nada.

I was only going to do some setup and check out some control things, but it turned from a "try" into a "play". Anyway, to no one's surprise - next on the block is Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

The two-slot weapons are interesting, seeing as they're both gun and ammo container. I had the SMG because I left it in Leon-A, but I would have benefited from the Side Pack too, it seems. I used a lot of the Spark Shot, but seemingly not for its intended purpose.
