Ok, this group has Vincent Valentine, Prompto Argentum, and Serah Farron in it. They should be allowed to play the chocobo theme whenever they hit the Miller's Road. #CriticalRoleSpoilers

Critical Role C4 episode 35 around the 3:07:00 mark. Robbie sings, to the tune of the Final Fantasy chocobo theme, "I want to ride my chocobo" in his Prompto voice from Final Fantasy XV.

You think they draw straws for seating arrangements? "Liam.... S-Sam... he's... he's doing another gross food bit. I-I-I can't do this. You gotta' sit by him today." (I'm not doing anymore screenshots of this ad because I may have to actually put a warning lol.) #CriticalRoleSpoilers

Laura Bailey, Liam O'Brien, and Sam Riegel sit together on one side of the table during the ad intro to C4E35 of Critical Role. Liam is saying, "It is so hard loving you." to Sam as Sam has a huge.... "spread" of gross foods in front of him.

As a gamer I have to do the pointing meme at Liam O'Brien's Castlevania shirt. #CriticalRoleSpoilers

I've come to find a lot of games, even if retro and obscure, will get noticed by gamers that like to analyze relationships under a queer lens. However I've never seen anything about Magnus and Yumil from Ogre Battle 64, which is maybe one of the most explicitly gay coded relationships ever.

#AgeofUmbraSpoilers #CriticalRoleSpoilers Idk if Zach has played Soulsborne games but he felt really in-tune with Matt this series and understood the assignment well. I had to laugh at the absurdity of the rest of the group saying, "Let's hear them out :)" when the final boss looks like this.

#21 - Valkyrie Profile Like a true hidden gem, it has brilliant art, gameplay, and music buried under unforgiving mechanics with a spotty translation and some of the most macabre scenes voiced by actors from 4Kids. Honestly the vibes are just on here. If you're a JRPG freak then you must play this.

#20 - Picross NP Vol. 6 Lol this one has Mario, as made evident by the changed cover saying "BUY THIS IT HAS MARIO." Sadly this might have more original Mario puzzles than the whole ass game titled "Mario Picross."

Picross NP Vol. 6. It is a book with a picture of a Picross grid and also Mario beaming for the camera.

#19 - Stardew Valley Women want me, men want me, fish fear me. This took Harvest Moon's title to become the modern day king of "cozy gaming." A debatable term considering how min-max heavy the end game is, but this does have a super engaging gameplay cycle that keeps you wanting to do one more day.

Cover for Stardew Valley. The words "Stardew Valley" are made out of yellow wooden boards nailed together over the backdrop of a lush green mountain range hugging a calming blue sky transitioning to stars above.

#18 - Picross NP Vol. 5 This one has Zelda puzzles. I've developed a recent vibes based test for games I call the "brain worms test." I don't try to analyze anything. I simply ask, "does my mind still go back to this long after putting it down?" (Picross NP Vol. 5 did not give me brain worms.)

#16 - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake Kojima's blueprint becomes apparent here. Nominative determinism, history lessons, speeches about the nature of war, and constant twists. The dialogue takes a step up from the first game, as do some of the sneaking mechanics. Many beats are verrrry similar to MGS1.

#15 - Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions A bunch of MGS 1 dev test levels with no story or dialogue. The levels were funny and goofy but also pushes the mechanics to the point where their jank starts to show. I bought this for $10, and at that price point it was fun. Wouldn't pay much more than that.

#14 - Final Fantasy XIII-2 The exploration-heavy structure and removal of level caps imbalanced the air-tight combat of the 1st game. I still liked it, though. Cutscenes had bad slowdown. Switching to random battles was a downgrade, imo. Story was nonsense but had some campy charm. Music was godly.

#13 - Etrian Odyssey II Most of what I said about EO1 still applies here. Still strangely addicting to make incremental progress and draw maps. Still brutally lethal and full of troll elements. Meta setups will be required for full completion. Boss farming makes money & exp easy to get, thankfully.

#10 - Octopath Traveler The intro to the HD-2D era. I like the graphics. Chill, old-school turn-based RPG with 8 different stories to play. Don't expect any of them to be very interesting or intersect much. The characters rarely interact. Battle system is good. Polished, but a bit unremarkable.

#9 - Picross NP Vol. 1 It's picross. You make pictures with mathematical logic. You either like it or you don't. It's cute, it has some Pokemon puzzles, it has a pretty even difficulty except for one very tough to solve puzzles near the end. I still have 50 characters? Uh, I've never played Sonic.
