Yeah, from Origins to II there is. Its not as major as in Mass Effect since you're a different character in a different region though.

From II to Inquisition they set up a website that lets you set up a worldstate rather than directly import.

I haven't heard anything about MVC, while I've heard "physical copies" of Fallout 76 just come with cardboard discs with download codes so...

that can't be true

yes, pc games ship with codes you redeem on steam (or in this case, the bethesda launcher). that's how it's been for most of the decade.

My sons copy of Overwatch came with a disc. He never used it, of course, since it also came with a code and he still had the game installed from one of the free weekends, but the disc does exist.

It sounds like he got both of the same version (Moon and Ultra Moon or Sun and Ultra Sun) rather than switching when Ultra came out, so getting two codes would result in two of the same Pokmon.

Yes. Like, recalled the original VHS got rid of.

Yeah but apparently the 1999 release accidentally brought it back.

(I hadnt actually heard about this one so I googled it.)


according to what I'm reading it wasnt found until 1999.

The two topless woman frames had reputedly been present in the film ever since its original theatrical release in 1977 (a fact apparently confirmed by Disney, whose spokesperson said that the tampering was done more than 20 years ago), although Disney claimed that they were not included in the 1992 home video release because that version was made from a different print.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-rescuers/

Which I guess doesnt preclude it not being found until 1999.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rescuers

On January 8, 1999, three days after the film's second release on home video, The Walt Disney Company announced a recall of about 3.4 million copies of the videotapes because there was an objectionable image in one of the film's backgrounds.[30][31][32][33]

Yes thats the same one Im talking about. My assumption is that the 1992 release was made from a different print (per Disneys words) for reasons unrelated to the topless woman (which Disney obviously didnt know about or they wouldve prevented its appearance in the 1999 release), and that other print happened to not have her in it.

Isn't the 3DS version of VII supposed to have cut out a lot of filler? I'm fairly sure I remember reading that the super-lengthy intro/prologue sequence is shorter on 3DS, and there's a few other added features to cut down on the amount of backtracking and searching required.

The intro is definitely shorter (which is a downgrade to me personally, but probably better to the average person that isn't willing to wait 2 hours until the first battle). Iirc there are also features that help you find the shards you're missing, and they made it easier to master at least the basic classes.

I think they also changed up cross-class skills and using skills as other classes? Not sure, I never finished either version despite loving the hell out of both.

Nice.

I attempted FFXI several years ago, getting decently far in main story, but ultimately stopping because of school.

I keep meaning to get back to it, but here we are.

You should! Its a LOT easier to solo now; Im leveling my Monk subjob and havent had any problems except once accidentally attacking a NM that looked just like the normal enemies. If you played after the migration to Square-Enix accounts or do that migration they seem to do free playtime a couple times a year too, so you could get in and try to get back into the swing of things before paying the sub again.

The original main Nations story through rank 5, that is. Right now Im trying to decide whether I want to continue through ranks 6-10 of my starting nation, start doing the first expansions stuff (Zilart), or change nations and level a different class through their missions.

Its a fun game. Admittedly Im playing it with a ton of conveniences that werent there originally - teleports for getting pretty much everywhere, summoned NPCs to fill out my party, and exp gain thats lightyears ahead of what it used to be, but I had a good time. Playtime after beating Shadow Lord was a couple hours shy of three days, in which I got my Warrior class to level 65 with a sub Monk up to 22. Did very little in the way of sidequests, opting instead to focus almost exclusively on my Nation missions and my warriors Artifact Armor.

Superman does have multiple different writers, but they all seem to be really passionate and come up with all sorts of numerical feats while DBs writer cant even remember transformations in the series or what hair color some of the characters have. Theres no reason Cell couldnt have just instantly obliterated Earth by firing a blast at it over slowly inflating himself to self destruct. Super just makes all the writing even worse too by making up the most random reasons for people who were dwarfed in power ages ago suddenly being super strong again out of nowhere. I mean all of this is silly anyways since theres a guy who just sat on the ground while an old man danced and snoozed around him and made him super strong because....I cant even remember if it had a good excuse or not


Yes there is....

There was LITERALLY nothing he could have done fast enough that Gohan doesnt kill him. Nothing. The MICROSECOND he so much as angled his hands to the ground, Gohan would have eviscerated every cell of him. The reason Cell did what he did was so Gohan couldnt kill him without him taking everyone else with him.

So he shoots it out of his feet instead. Problem solved.
