  1. Jotun is free on GoG right now.
  2. When the Wind Blows I basically watched this because someone dared me to. It's well made but god damn, it's hard to watch. It's about an elderly British couple named James and Hilda who live in Cold War times and manage to survive a nuclear strike from Russia by using a lean-to shelter James built by following the instructions in a government pamphlet. However, they are ignorant to the true dangers of radioactive fallout and it comes back to bite them in the ass hard for the entire second half of the film. Even while they're both deteriorating from the radiation, James insists that the government will be sending rescue any day now and Hilda keeps worrying about trivial things like the errands she needs to run. Watching it made me glad that I'm too young to remember the Cold War. Having to live with the fear of being nuked every day must have been hell.
  3. Crash Bandicoot 2. Got 100% on this one too, which was considerably easier to do than in the first game. I never actually played Crash 2 and 3 before but I hear they get progressively easier, so getting 100% on Crash 3 shouldn't be too hard if I was able to do it on the first one. I'm really liking this collection but I have one major complaint. In order to get full completion for a lot of levels, you have to play them perfectly. If you mess up, however, there is no restart level option. You have to quit the level, sit through a loading screen, pick the level again from the world map/hub, sit through another loading screen, and only then can you try the level over from the beginning. For some dumb reason, the restart option is only available in the time trial runs, which doesn't help me because those change the level's items into time related items rather than the fruits and Aku Aku masks I so desperately need.
  4. Yeah, Spiderman was pretty good. The villain was great, which is funny because I've always hated Vulture in the comics. Here, however, he's a great character and Michael Keaton brings a ton of charisma to the role. It's also funny, perhaps too funny for its own good. It almost felt like I was watching a comedy at some points. My one major complaint is that the side characters kind of fall flat. Ned at least has a reason to be there and he does something useful, but Michelle serves no purpose in the movie and I just flat out cannot buy Flash Thompson being a mathlete bully. I mean come on. I'm pretty sure I could bully him if I wanted to and I am not a big guy by any stretch. Aunt May is okay but it kinda feels like she's only there because she has to be. Definitely the best Spiderman movie since Spiderman 2 though, despite my nitpicks.
  5. Is anybody else finding that they have to sign into the forum a lot more than usual?  I have it set to remember me, but I had to sign back in twice in one day.

      Over the last several days I was having to sign in every time I closed my browser (even though I haven't changed settings and other sites still let me stay signed in), but it seems to have stopped now.

      I spoke too soon, it's doing it again.

      Yeah I've had to sign in four times today.  This is definitely not normal.

  6. Crash Bandicoot. The first one. AND I got all the gems, which I was never able to do as a kid. It's easier in the remake because checkpoints actually save how many boxes you've broken now like they should have all along, but there are still levels where you have to do the entire thing without dying once to get the colored gems, which is still a bitch because they're some of the hardest levels in the game. But I did it. Time to move on to Crash 2!
  7. There are two kinds of people. Those who prefer Marina and those with shit taste. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
  8. No remaster, and I wouldn't hold my breath for one, but the PC version of the original works alright. Better than the PC version of FFVII, anyway.
  9. Persona 5. It's not even close. The gameplay is the best it's ever been, the characters are great, I really got into the story, and it has by far the best soundtrack I've heard in a game so far this year. Even though we're only halfway through the year, it would take a lot for me to change my mind on this one.
  10. My Hero Academia has a new OVA out. I enjoyed it a lot. I don't know if it's on Crunchyroll since I didn't watch it there, but if you can find it, I recommend checking it out.
  11. It's free to play up to level 35. I don't know if you can switch to other classes and level them up to the cap too before getting a subscription. A word of warning. If you download the free trial, be aware that the steam version and regular PC version are mutually exclusive, meaning that if you make an account with the steam version and decide later you want to buy it, you can ONLY buy the steam version. Any sales or discounts from other sites or retailers, including Square-Enix itself, will NOT be compatible. If you want the non-steam version, which is compatible with every retailer except steam, download it from Square's site.
  12. Vento Aureo has finally been colorized and retranslated in its entirety, meaning it can finally be read in English the way it should be.
  13. As someone who reads the manga, rest assured that turning point you're looking for will come.
  14. Who is your favorite student in class 1-A and why is it Tsuyu?

  16. Why is anybody here acting like they'll actually be able to get their hands on one of these things? Everyone should know the drill by now. They'll all get snatched up by bots and scalpers and then instead of making more to meet the demand Nintendo will just stop making them altogether. Every. Fucking. Time.

  18. So my friend bought me the PC version of GTA V because he wants me to play it again online with him so bad.  I get back in to rejoin the old crew and I realize something awful.  Back in the day, he named our old crew Tactical Hotpockets.  Kind of a goofy name but whatever.  The problem is our tag...THOT.

  19. That's debatable. There are people see such games as the western interpretation of the genre since adventure games back in the day were known primarily for their puzzles and these newer games prioritize narrative over puzzles. Still, whether you think it's a VN or an adventure game, my gripe remains unchanged. Walking around in a confusing environment trying to find a bottle is boring no matter what the genre is.
