There probably would have been a lot more anger ten years ago, back when this place was a bigger part of our lives, and we were much more excited about new contests.Personally I also feel like he's done a lot better as an admin in the last 10 years. I don't really have any complaints for the 2014-2023 time period, but I can think of several for 2013 alone. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Still working on that itch.io backlog. Honestly I almost dropped this one a couple levels in because it wasn't hooking me, but I managed to stick with it. At first, this game looks like a Doki Doki Panic-like, mostly because of the HUD and the fact that you primarily interact with enemies by standing on their heads and picking them up and throwing them. Play a few levels though and you'll get the ability to ride enemies and this is the game's actual mechanic, and the rest of the game is a puzzle platformer using enemies' unique abilities to traverse the game's levels. Honestly it's a good effort but kinda mid. There are only a few enemies with meaningful mechanics and all the bosses are complete nothing fights except the final one. I beat the full game in about 80 minutes though I'm sure you could spend longer if you were trying to collect the giant coin on each screen. It's also glitchy, especially when enemies try to interact with each other in cramped spaces. By far the best levels are the ones that feel like they were ripped straight out of --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 10/21/23 1:04:08 AM #66 | Wario Land 3 (GBC)
What a weird, weird game. Aesthetically it's not even really Mario-adjacent, all the enemies are weird and there's a plot about an ancient god whose power was sealed in 5 music boxes. There's a All the power-ups with maybe one exception are stupid anti-powerups that exist to annoy you and waste your time, but they can be coerced into being useful in very specific situations, which you need to do to solve the game's puzzles. Wario starts as an absolute useless piece of shit and it takes so, so long to get your first upgrade, and way longer to feel even marginally competent. You can't die but enemies hitting you either gives you anti-powerups (which waste your time), gives you huge knockback (to waste your time), or sends you to the previous screen (which wastes your time). I guess dying is ultimately just a time waster too but this feels more deliberately malevolent. There's only four worlds with a few stages each but every time you get a treasure in one stage it affects the world, either by opening a new stage or changing something in one or more previous stages. This whole system is so insanely elaborate that it feels very modern. But the game constantly disrespects your time in a way that feels not modern at all. Did I even like this game? I'm glad I finally finished it, at least. I've had this game since I was about 10 years old and I definitely got nowhere in it as a kid, which makes sense because some of the puzzles are extremely obtuse and the game's mechanics are not very intuitive at all. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Say a bunch of people are praising Donald Trump or Rush Limbaugh or whoever else was a bad influence on whatever. When can we say "no gratitude is the wrong feeling here" and not be condemned for it.it's much closer to your favorite restaurant shutting down and people wishing the owner the best instead of saying "if you'd done better my favorite restaurant would be flourishing right now. you fool. you absolute dunce." except in this case the restaurant isn't even shutting down. the owner is just retiring. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

I just know this website had a lot more going for it than "fast death" sites. 2007 should have been a huge deal-- people were actually talking about L-Block. Like, non Internet people. I had multiple life friends from multiple circles who I never talked to GameFAQs about mention it. For all the crap I gave Allen about Draven and Undertale I never once said L-Block cheated, because it felt as big as the vote totals (and had completely different vote trends at that). And it was squandered.I don't think L-Block moves the needle at all tbh, stuff like that was a dime a dozen in 2007. Anyway it seems to me that the big problem was that they actually did try lots of stuff but nobody really wanted to be an early adopter of it or make free, high quality content for it. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Hopefully it's more than nsmb with more color, because you can't really tell from trailers.Yeah this is where I'm at. If they wanted to convey that it was either a major departure from NSMB or a return to SMB3/SMW I definitely didn't get that impression from just the trailers.

Klonoa was one of my first PS1 games. Dat infamous ending still makes me cry. But people getting this duology might feel weird about seeing Klonoa again in a 2nd game without knowing that both games are about a decade apart.Even weirder for me because my first Klonoa game was Empire of Dreams for the GBA and I played that about 15 years ago. Can't remember anything about it though so this is practically like coming into the series fresh.
