I don't think the Eagles are going to be good, but I wouldn't trust the Falcons, either, so that game is too much of a crapshoot.

Anagram has to leave off an obvious choice in favor of one that will get zero votes.

The only zero remaining is cheep-cheep, which isn't a ridiculous inclusion. I doubt anyone will come along and vote for it other than to be a contrarian, but nobody's going to be happy with ten poll options here.

Also, as a Mario Kart 64 aficionado, I freaking hate Thwomps. Bowser Castle is the most obnoxious level in the game. I'm not a big fan of Bob-ombs, either.

I'm not going to rate the story because I honestly didn't get far enough to feel like I know enough about it, but the writing in the first hour of the game was so atrocious I didn't go any farther. The voice acting probably didn't help.

Gold and gil were my first reaction. Gems are often a secondary currency, too. Plus real world money like dollars or the all-generic "credits."

I had to look up what zenny was. Only game I've ever played that used it was MH:W, and I didn't play that for long.

Other currencies I thought of: Meseta, munny, caps, rupees, meat, platinum, and oddly, kim. Who the hell is going to name the currency to Sword of Vermilion?

Oh hey, this is a thing. Little early to make a pick, so I hope I don't forget, but nobody's got a spread of more than a score, and I've learned not to mess around with week 1.

I saw it last night. It was good.

The fact that I saw it is evidence that whatever press they were doing had to have reached me, because I haven't seen a movie since Avengers Endgame and tend to average about one movie a year without considering the pandemic. It feels like I've been inundated with exposure to it over the last few weeks, ranging from youtube ads to articles spammed across yahoo to word of mouth.

GT has better music. Which is to say that I can actually name one GT track. And I suck at "real" racing games, so that's all that matters here for me.

that's a roguelike, not a rhythm game

I was about to argue that it can be both, but honestly, given that the extent of your rhythm-ing is staying on the beat, that barely qualifies if at all.

What a weird match. resurrectedreplayer feels like a song that people are voting by default more than anything else - I rarely see enthusiasm for it, and it didn't get a single vote in the 'favorite zts song' poll. Paradise is a fairly uninteresting (if pleasant to listen to) song that would have been out in Round 2 in prior contests, but I guess style preferences have changed. Doesn't at all feel like this is a semifinal matchup.

I feel like this is a pretty accurate assessment. There's nothing in this final four I'm opposed to, but nothing I'm crazy about, either.

The fitting answer would be to give it a 9.99, however that's not reality.

999, after playing Danganronpa and then the PW trilogy, felt like a mediocre third option at best. I was going through all the side endings and thinking this game was pretty freaking meh, and had a lot of random exposition in it for nothing. And then I got to the true ending and was amazed at how it all came together at the end. Definitely pulled the game up out of a nosedive toward mediocrity-at-best.

It's still a really slow burn to get there and the actual ending is a smidge baffling.

7/10

I, Garland, will knock you all down!

With help from a complete nonsense time loop where I send the four fiends back in time and then they send me forward in time and somehow that means we both live forever and are invincible.

Like, okay, credit for it being an NES game from 1987 with moderately little text and a horrible lowercase G in the font they chose, but there's still some pretty seriously inane garbage packaged in here. You don't play FF1 for the story. Giving it basically the lowest marks I can for something that doesn't actively make me angry.
