This is really bad if you like fighting game competition stuff, but it is probably great if you are a top fighting game competitor in full on grifter mode looking for a payday and you don't care where the money comes from and are probably going to pivot into right wing podcasting soon.

Reminder that boycotting Xbox means also boycotting Gamepass, as well as Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard, GamePass and the many other studios Microsoft owns. It means not buying their games on Steam sale, too.

This week's episode of the HG101 Podcast is a very special episode. That's right, it's the YOKO TARO GACHA MEMORIAL SPECIAL! Quite possibly the most brute forced theme episode in the podcast's history! Learn about Elevators and Bonanzas and maybe about Yoko Taro's vision for Sega's doomed gacha?

WCW and TNT/TBS allowed Konnan on a live microphone to tell his opponents to "toss my salad and peel my potatoes" without reprecussion; meanwhile, they had a censor at the ready specifically for whenever Scott Steiner had a live microphone. Really makes you think.

Game design discourse is something I'm kind of interested in looking at from the outside, but I see something like that and I'm like, you know what, I'll just stick to reading these old Beep! Mega Drive magazines for contemporary opinions of an ancient ass game. It's fine, I'm satisfied here.

Coincidentally, I have similar-ish feelings about The Terminator. In retrospect, I like the first more than the second because it's basically a horror movie disguised as a sci-fi film. Though I enjoyed T2 being a fun action movie, it just lead to more Lore and more Sci-Fi that I don't care for.

Yeah, that's why I found this statement to be really funny. I'd say it was pretty obvious why they worded it like that.

I remember back on old message boards and maybe even Reddit you'd see somebody asking if Justin Credible was in the Kliq or not. You'd get some responses like yeah he was totally in the Kliq, he used his Kliq politic powers to be a top ECW guy.
MercuryCDX (@mercurycdx.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, it's a joke because I think Scott Hall was friends with Justin Credible and there was a photo with the Kliq and Credible was just there lol
MercuryCDX (@mercurycdx.bsky.social) reply parent
It's really funny to think about how X-Factor as a faction didn't last that long because it was very important that Justin Credible join the WCW/ECW Alliance. He didn't have to do that, he could've just gone back to his Aldo Montoya gimmick.
MercuryCDX (@mercurycdx.bsky.social)
Statistically, somebody has to have seen this as their first professional wrestling match. And I'm trying to imagine what was going through their head when they saw two members of The Kliq entering the ring to an Uncle Kracker song with Paul Heyman yelling "MY BOY, UNCLE KRACKER"

Tried a bit more of the Sonic kart game after hearing about the steering sensitivity option maybe being too low by default and now it feels better. Also tried Joker despite not really caring about Joker/Persona. Joker being silent is funny. They remember to put a little Persona 5 music in there.

Some of the character growth and plot elements are sped up quite a bit that can be kind of jarring for some folks. There are even a few characters that play a major role who basically get a lot of time trimmed off (Slegger Law in particular)

Anyone figure out who decided that one side of a conflict should never raise a hand because they would be demonized and it is more noble to be a punching bag in hopes that enough people will have just enough empathy, while another side can use all the resources on earth to murder the other side?

Those that refuse to play a "classic" because it looks old or whatever are too cowardly. They will never delve into the most ramshackle ports on a platform that was never designed to run any game let alone this specific one.

I'm a game history sicko, so I more often that not don't really feel that strongly about remakes/remasters outside of what they actually contribute and does it "matter" in the grand game history narrative. This is also why I don't really, I guess "get along" with game critics or reviewers or whatev.

There are theoretical cool, transformative things that can be done with remakes, but the thing people actually want is to say they played something without actually having to play it and engage with the things that make them historic. 🫠
