Fourteen, which included six twelve hour shifts. The things you have to do when you're down two people on a five-man team in a 24/7 business.

That sucked.

That Final Fantasy Monster Hunter wannabe game from a year or so back. They could've done so much with this but it was terribly boring.

Runner up: Diablo 3 when it first came out. Maybe it'd be impossible to live up to the high bar D2 set but it's like they didn't try too much. Years later and after many changes it's a much better game (RoS UEE)

Principle is going to make me not buy one of these for hundreds over cost, yet I can afford one regardless and kind of want to play this with my wife and kids.

Yet if we refuse to buy from scalpers they (eventually) will stop buying everything up. I guess. In 500 years.

What a conundrum..

Reboot?
Pretty sure they said that Discovery is set in the Prime timeline, not the rebooted one...

Maybe, but the aesthetics smack of more JJ crap, as another prequel because that worked so well with ENT.

It has almost nothing to do with Star Trek other than setting.

I know this? Maybe that's why I like it.

And to erik, if that were the case, you'd be the one loving it. It's far from generic. There's an insane amount of heart and love put into these movies.

@FrozenBananas to the part I bolded.



Thank you for the laugh.

Massive Trekkie here. I have been watching Star Trek for 29 years and I DO NOT acknowledge the existence of these fucking shit "reboot" movies.

"Oh look lets change over 40 years of established canon. Oh we'd better put it in an "Alternate Universe" to stop the hardcore fans coming at us with torches and pitchforks"!

The original cast is the crew of The Enterprise NCC - 1701 not these fucking joke nobodies.

J.J Abrams went to a convention once and was jeered and booed of the stage as the hardcore fans didn't want him there.

Wasn't it Into Darkness that was panned by everyone?

For me Star Trek ended with "These Are The Voyages" the final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

I would much rather be tied to chair, have my eyelids taped open and made to watch the freaking horrendous jokes that were Star Trek Insurrection and Star Trek Nemesis until I am doing a great impression of Captain Picard from "Chain Of Command" than ever watch those "reboot" movies.

THERE. ARE. FOUR... LIGHTS!!

I always liked Insurrection. They said it was like a two part TNG episode. There's worse things out there. Nemesis was pretty bad. Why was Picard at the academy in that picture bald? B-4. Dune buggies. What a terrible send off to a great crew.

Ive loved every minute of all 3 movies

I'm a giant Trek fan and though the JJ verse movies get a lot of poop flung on them I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy them all at least a bit.

But

Into Darkness should have never tried to flip flop Wrath of Khan. "John Harrison" should have been someone else. Alice Eve in her panties was pointless (looked good, but pointless). Spock all "KHAAAAAAANNN!!!" was not only laughable it somehow cheapened the movie it was trying to pay homage to. Magic blood? Transporters that can beam from Earth to "CHRONOS" because that makes sense now and let's just rename the Klingon home world just because....

The only good thing about Into Darkness was namedropping Section 31 from DS9.

People saying Nintendo will win because they can announce a new Metroid.

You remember the last time they announced a new Metroid? It was Other M. And that's only if we ignore Federation Force.

This would be after the fallout of both Federation Farce and the AM2R debacle and backlash. Could make a difference.

Is it weird knowing the industry you work in is bound to die eventually? Not being rude, that was something they mentioned in the article about the Blockbusters in Alaska too.

Every industry is bound to die, humans aren't gonna be around forever

Same thing with record stores. From 1995-1998 I worked in three huge chains and now they're all gone. The only one I can think of that's still around is Newbury Comics and then only because half of what they sell are shirts, posters, movies and etc.

Sure, they were more expensive and late fees were ridiculous, but it was always fun to go in there and just look around for a good movie or game for your weekend. Much more fun than Netflix or Redbox.

What about you, PotD?

Yeah me too.

It was a fun family event, going in and seeing everything up on the wall like that. As a bonus, one of the ones near me doubled as a pizza joint. I'll bet they never thought back in the 80s making loads of $$$ they'd soon be obsolete :(

If you want to go TNG, here are some random episodes off the top of my head that will give you a good idea on how great it was:


Who Watches the Watchers?
Cause and Effect
The Pegasus
The Survivors
Darmok
Q Who?
Yesterday's Enterprise
The Wounded
Clues
The Offspring
Deja Q
Matter of Honor
Frame of Mind
Chain of Command 1&2
The Most Toys
Preemptive Strike
The Inner Light

There are also a great couple episodes featuring Worf and his discommodation within the Klingon home world with the Duras family. I can't remember the names though.

And these but they are spolierific:

Best of Both Worlds 1&2
All Good Things

Interesting, thank you for the suggestion. I thought after III was when the series went downhill but didn't realize V was well received. Pricing on eBay and Amazon doesn't seem too crazy.

I didn't like 5 at all.

I think it gets a lot of praise for bringing back the 6-man teams but honestly many battles are too easy and it's kind of boring.

Probably the third or fourth time I've beat it. Will actually go for the 108 stars this time. Normally I let Pahn die... Because fuck him. so I never got the 108 stars.

And I'll likely just move right into replaying Suikoden 2 after I finish it. I'm about halfway through Suikoden, give or take.

Oh yeah man if you like the first game you will LOVE part 2. It's way better and as a bonus you can import your hero McDohl over from the save of the original.

Try to get the five squirrel team!

Super spoiler about a S2 character that's super B.S:

During a late cutscene somebody shoots your sister with an arrow, and if you don't press the button fast enough when you see it she will die from the wound. I GUESS this is supposed to represent the player reacting fast in a bad situation but it's complete crap and totally unexpected.

I told my girlfriend that the people on the internet don't like Voyager and Janeway, and she's saying: *warning: offensive, read at your own risk* "It's because internet nerds are sexist. They only like Deep Space 9 because of the sexual characters and the sexual scenes."

Tell her that Seven of Nine is the biggest example of "sexism" in the Star Trek universe, and she was on Voyager.

Seven backfired on Berman and co and turned out to be a good character. But yeah it was a total T&A ratings move all the way.

My girlfriend got me into Voyager, and it's freaken awesome. Love the Emergency Medical Hologram, episodes revolving around him are the best(especially the day dream episode, that was amazing). She told me the original sucks because of Shatner's acting, so which ones are worth checking out and which ones are duds?

Speaking of great doctor episodes try Living Witness and Doctor Tinker Tenor Spy.

Hi TC!

Finally a topic I can get behind haha. I am a huge huge Trek fan and can point you in the right direction:

Deep Space Nine: All 7 seasons are great. Worf from TNG joins the cast in S4. There is a prolonged war with the Dominion over many years, and the show's secondary cast is the best of all Trek. This show has the Defiant. Pulse phasers, ablative armor, cloaking device. 'Nuff said. There are many religious overtones but you're not really beat over the head with it. This is my favorite Trek series and probably the one that has aged the best.

Next Generation: Seasons 3-6 are excellent, with the series peaking in season 4. Captain Picard and Data steal the show but everybody not named Troi or Crusher is good too. Miles O'Brien started on TNG before he went to DS9 as a main cast member. TNG is hard to watch from the beginning (unlike DS9) because the first season is abysmal. S1 and S3 are like night and day. When I rewatched TNG with my daughter we started with S3 (barring 'Q Who' from S2 which is... very important later in the show).

Voyager: Had the best premise BY FAR however never really did much with it. Overall the writing quality is all over the place with a few standout episodes and a ton of turds. This show had the weakest first officer in Chakotay and that hurt the series. The best characters are the Doctor, Tuvok, and Seven of Nine later. Voyager also has the 'distinction' of watering down and overusing the Borg.

Enterprise: Sort of sucked. I could never get into it though I tried a lot. Trip is the only good character though T'Pol and Hoshi are good to look at (I guess?) lol

The Original Series: The holy triumvirate of Kirk, Spock, and Bones is unmatched. Kirk famously overacts in every scene but he's still awesome. Spock is probably the best character of all Trek overall. Bones is definitely the best doctor, he's a badass. Some of the best episodes are in season 1, which is strange since it's usually the weakest season for future Trek shows (especially TNG, yuck).

Look, if I can basically lock myself in my room for three solid weeks before ye olde Internet and win so can you haha.

But seriously it's one of those games like Zelda 1 where you have to try everything everywhere. The sheer amount of secret walls / bricks in LotW is nuts. Everything's this complicated maze with puzzles designed for (mostly) one particular character- and hopefully you brought that character down there to it.

Guardian Legend is a lot easier to pick up and play but aside from getting some of the corridor entrances to open up it's not too hard to figure out. Some of the corridors themselves are really hard though!

Marble Madness is not a co-op game, it's just regular simultaneous multiplayer... that'd be like calling Mario Kart a co-op game.

Ah because both people are competing against each other and not trying to achieve the same goal together.

If that's the case you could almost say the same about Bubble Bobble since you can screw with the other guy and you're trying to get a higher score than Bob.

But... but... true ending...

Oh I know about the pause / bring Bob back to stand there like a dummy while you kill the giant wizard thing haha. It stinks to play this game solo as it's meant to be played with two.

Faxanadu is a fantastic game.

It was pretty fun back in the day but upon a semi-recent playthrough I forgot how finicky the jumping mechanics are. There's a spot not too far out from the first town where you have to jump across these 3 or 4 little platforms and you'll really notice it there.

What?!? There are plenty of co-op games. Chip 'N Dale. Bubble Bobble. Snake, Rattle, 'N Roll. Lifeforce. Contra. Mario Bros kinda. This is just off the top of my head.

Marble Madness and Jackal too.
