    Predator: Badlands

    Was pretty excited for a new Predator movie until I got more information about this pile of dogshit. So the Predator has a quirky female sidekick who talks like a Marvel character with lots of expletives thrown in to be more relatable to the fat, antifa-glazing, nose-ring crowd? Excuse me while...

    The Thing (1982)

    Oh hey, look what I bought. The expanded version of the original novella that The Thing was based on. This is well-worth your time, unlike the game and the comics (and probably the upcoming movie)

    I might actually make a go at establishing a Twitter account for the sole purpose of tweeting at Richard Garriott. Every time he starts popping off about something political I'll respond with a meme banner that says "GET OFF TWITTER AND MAKE A NEW ULTIMA GAME, DORK" I'll also tweet at Trump and...

    What are you playing?

    I'd probably just play the remakes as they come out, since from the sound of things they're gonna be doing remakes of all 9 (10?) games. I think the overall story is pretty much done in another game or two, and the Chapter Two remake is already well into development. Easier to just play the...

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    I'm guessing this whole saga never got resolved.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    @elidib already said almost everything you need to know. If you want God Ramza soloing the game, you go with: -Monk Ramza -Squire secondary to use Focus/Tailwind (and later Scream or w/e it's called now) -First Strike for a counter ability -Dual Wield for a support ability -Teleport for a...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Sounds like Mime is simultaneously the best and worst class. If you had 3 Dancers and 2 Mimes, would that be like 9 Dancers? Or is 4/1 the play? Considering doing a replay with Ramza going Mime plus four Dancers and seeing how quick I can chew through the game with that...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    So wait, a Mime will keep taking turns between your other characters? And will typically launch useless moves, but with all Dancers it'll launch their AOEs?

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Dancer and Bard are two classes I've basically never done anything with (along with Calculator and Mime) so I'm particularly curious about all of those and how good they are. Sounds like Dancer and Calc are two of the top tier classes, with Mime as one of the worst aside from specific...

    He needs to chill with the politics on twitter? That's unfortunate to hear. I don't know what side he's on, but going all-in with blasting your politics on social media is how you alienate 50-75% of your fanbase. Ask Eminem about that. Him getting out an old computer and making some stuff...

    Playstation 5

    Yep, Sony was actually in third place for the first few years of the PS3/360/Wii era. Wii got the kids/families/dweebs, 360 got the adults. PS3 was priced higher than the others but it had blu-ray player support which was still novel at the time and I don't think 360 had that. It wasn't until...

    You met Richard Garriott, eh? That's awesome. The guy is still lurking around, which is why I wish he'd run a Gofundme to make an Ultima 10. He's get a big response and he'd be able to get the band back together. Hopefully it'd be a reset to the gameplay style of the most popular installments...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    What would you guys say are the two or three best and worst classes (of the normal classes, not uniques)? And which ones have the best/worst stat growths? This is something I didn't pay any attention to on the recent run, and went through about half the game with Ramza as a Ninja. No wonder he...

    There are some great Pokemon games and Z-A isn't one of them. On Switch you've got a few options. Let's Go Pikachu is a remake of Gen 1, which would seem like a no-brainer on a good first Pokemon to play, but it has some really tedious game mechanics. Pokemon Legends Arceus is full of empty...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Noticed that too. JP gain seems higher. Like I recall getting about 40 points per action with a decent class level and JP Up in the PS1 version, now it tops out at like 90 JP per action. Class has to be leveled though, so it won't be anywhere near that fast when first switching to a class. "Big...

    Ultima 9 was enough to kill the series forever apparently. (Well, besides UO) For a while in 2000, gaming magazines were publishing screenshots and info on "Ultima Online 2" but it got cancelled at some point in 2001. They realized how dumb it was to release a sequel to an ongoing MMORPG and...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Didn't know Reis was that good as a Monk. I just keep her in her default class and she's still really good. Breath attacks and Jump are decent, and her big attack (Holy Breath) functions like the twins random magic except it's much stronger. I saw that do like 1200 damage (400/400/400...with two...

    "Everything old is...still old, but we expect you to pay for it again lol" I haven't used my Switch 2 since July. Been trying to figure out if there's anything upcoming that would make sense to play on it, like something retro-style, just to get some sort of use out of it again.

    Terminator 2D: No Fate got delayed from Oct 31 to Nov 26. Bummer for us Terminator fans that were eagerly awaiting it. I think this is the third time it's gotten delayed. What is it with Terminator games and constant delays? Usually leading to a rough finished product, too. This one should be...

    Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 are the 3D first-person Everquest style ones. I think Ultima 8 and 9 are 3D third-person, after 1-7 being top-down. But it might just be 9 that's 3D. I'm the last person to ask, cause I'm only familiar with what Majuular has covered (everything except 8 and 9 at this...

    There's one story fight where they can appear. It's either chapter 2 or 3. It's key to recruit the pig then, so that you have a bunch of pigs (of all 3 varieties) by the time you need them for poaching. If you don't get that one pig, then you pretty much have to get them from either Deep...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Cloud is actually good in this version of the game, which was a very welcome change. I still couldn't really hit anything with his slowest moves, but with the turn order list and him not starting at fooking level 1 anymore, I was able to get some good use out of him. One of his attacks...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Zaland Fort City has probably my favorite music track in the game (and that's saying a LOT, with this OST). It's so good. It only plays 2 other times in the whole game. One is the cutscene where Zalbag chases off the Corpse Brigade in Chapter 1, and the last time is when you fight Wiegraf in the...

    When I D2, it'll be the original version, not Resurrected. I think there might even be an HD port of the original now, not sure. I still have the guide: Soured on remakes a bit after some of the debacles we've gotten so I'm more inclined to go with the original versions of things whenever...

    They say the universe rhymes... n' shit. Had a similar thing happen the other day where I was about to link an old drum and bass song to a friend, and he linked it to me first.

    Necromancer is the main thing I know about with Diablo 2. When it came out I was playing a Necro in EQ, and a lot of people were saying Diablo 2 was going to be an "EQ killer" (for some reason). So once EQ inevitably started annoying me, I nearly "jumped ship" to Diablo 2. I remember spending a...

    I grew up in the 90's so I'm no stranger to extremely poor translations of RPGs (usually by accident, lawl). The last US JRPG I have left to play is Breath of Fire 2 and I have to choose between the re-translation patch or playing it in its original stupendously bad SNES translation. Not...
