Finally played through the original Luigi’s Mansion for the first time. I get why people like it but I gotta say I think both the sequels are miles better. The puzzles have far better design and variety and Next Level comes with so many fun and interesting ways to use a vacuum.

Saw some friends doing this so I figured I'd do the same. To be clear I'm focusing on the whole "Games that shaped me" angle rather than just my favourites. Only two of these would even probably be in my top 9 games of all time.

There’s discourse about “how to get into (video game series)” on the timeline again. I’m here to say: play whatever you want. Don’t let other people set rules for you. Just play the games you think look good.

Went to my 20 year high school reunion. You can tell we graduated in the 2000s - no younger and no older - because everyone was taking pictures/videos in landscape. Before Insta/Snapchat/TikTok, shooting everything in portrait was a marker of old tech-illiterate people. Alas.

My sister was at a used game store and got me this as a gift. For some baffling reason it’s rated T when the other versions on consoles and GBA are E 10+. The ESRB website only lists “Fantasy violence” so I’m interested in looking up what makes this game more violent than the other versions.

Saw this and decided it would be fun to fill out. Did one for heroes and another for villains (except the final square). I'm against using the term "overrated" so I made those squares be characters I don't typically enjoy seeing, so their stories have to work extra hard to make me care about them.

Full disclosure I've only played a few hours of Xenoblade DE so it automatically wins by default.

Most Action RPGs (Xenoblade, Witcher, Kingdom Hearts). If you want to make an action game then just make an action game. What makes an RPGs fun is the ability to customize and strategize, having a level up mechanic is meaningless when increased stats never make any meaningful impact on the gameplay.

Showed the first two Bionicle films to a friend of mine who had never seen them before for 810NICLE DAY. It is crazy how many similarities there are between Bionicle 2 and Transformers One. I knew there was a reason I really liked it.

The two titles that will make me not want to watch your media review. [THING TITLE] is almost perfect [THING TITLE] is a flawed masterpiece Both become so cliché at this point, and I don’t like the promise of a positive review that is going to bait and switch me.

Worst in terms of theatre experience has to be Fantastic Beasts and Where Do They Come From. There was a kid seated behind me who clearly had never been to a theatre before and spent the whole time talking. Not a good movie but he made it far worse to sit through.

The backlash to the Odyssey is so funny because it seems to only be made by the people who somehow haven’t seen a Christopher Nolan movie and just make weird assumptions about what they’re like.

First of these studio closures to effect a studio I actually care about and man this one hurts. DOOM 2016 was really my gateway into learning to appreciate M-rated game franchises and Doom Eternal is still one of my all time favourite games.

I think a lot of people's problems with discourse are solved with the simple advice of stop using X. It's a terrible platform with algorithm designed to just show you the same things with people posting for engagement with sometimes monetary value and a degraded user base infested with bots. Leave.

Biggest issue with Star Fox multiplayer is that they expect you to use the Wolfen II when the original Wolfen is the far superior ship design.

Me playing Star Fox: UGH it's the Landmaster levels. Knew I should've taken the warp to Sector Z. My girlfriend playing Star Fox for the first time: Yo I get to use a tank?! This is the best level of the game!

Best example of the harm getting rid of physical games causes is that it makes finding games on discount a lot harder. I really wanted to play that new Indiana Jones game, but it was really expensive so I decided to wait for a sale, but because it was only released digitally, it was never available.

It’s funny seeing film fans try and spread the narrative that Iron Lung, Obsession and Backrooms were successful because people want “original ideas” even though two of those are based on pre-existing media and the only reason people care about any of them is because a YouTuber they liked made them.

Still amazes me that anyone thought Scary Movie as a concept was a good idea. Like it’s a parody of Scream, a movie that is already a satire of slasher movies. It’s like making “Cop Movie” and then parodying The Other Guys.

Unironically one of the funniest jokes in Star Wars history is literally that bit from Empire where an asteroid smacks into the bridge of a Star Destroyer and just flat-out kills a guy in the middle of a call with Vader, and everyone just ignores him

I remember getting the Wii U for Christmas 2012 and being so excited for Rayman 2 months later. A demo of that game at a store kiosk was the first experience I had with the Wii U and it sold me on the system. Then Ubisoft abruptly decided to delay releasing the game by 7 months. I was pissed.

Lego DC Super Villains was on sale for $5 so I picked it up to play with my girlfriend. I didn’t know anything about this game going in (I haven’t played a Lego game in probably over a decade) but my gosh this is one of the most stacked cast of DC Comics voice actors I’ve ever seen.

I was in French immersion until fourth grade. For the longest time I assumed I dropped out because I couldn’t crack it, as an adult my mother revealed it was because my grade four French teacher was so awful to me she could tell I never wanted to take French again.

Decided to watch the final season of The Boys because I was curious how it’d end and that finale was a wet fart. There’s nothing that bad but it lacks bite and feels cheap which is not something I thought I would ever say about this show. Barely even feels like a finale minus the main villain dying.

The ability for YouTube videos to tag multiple channels is one of my least favourite developments on the site. Just serves to clog up my subscription feed with a bunch of videos I have zero interest in watching because I subscribed to one of the featured channels for totally different content.

I normally try not to get hung up on young people slang but man “LARP” is really getting on my nerves. Like not only does the term LARP already mean something completely different but its new use seems to only exist for gatekeeping fan spaces.

For whoever needs to hear this: You don't have to have a strong opinion on everything. You are allowed to like or dislike things a little bit but not feel strongly about it. You're even allowed to be ambivalent. It's a freeing feeling, not having to have a strong, measured opinion on everything.

The one funny part about seeing all the Star Fox reactions is I think everyone just forgot that Star Fox 64 is like one of the best games ever.

There’s never been any evidence of this, but knowing how Nintendo operates I wouldn’t be surprised if someday someone from Universal revealed that Nintendo tried pitching the idea of the Mario Movies only be available to watch on a dedicated Nintendo Switch app.

Man it really sucks to find out a video game remix channel that seemed cool from the outside is just all AI slop. Thankfully these channels are so shameless that they’re really easy to spot if you’re careful about it.
