Oh, Aces is actually good? I feel like that one came and went. I'm with you. I loved Mario Tennis on the N64. I put a lot of hours into Power Tennis, but it wasn't as good. Haven't touched a Mario Tennis game since.

I'd honestly be down for another Mario baseball game. Golf works, too! Just bring back mini-golf!

Eh, with movies that have remakes, I think you'd have to specify which version(s) you've seen just to make sure you're on the same page with whoever you're talking about it with. It's not quite the same.

Mario Kart is another one of those franchises that I used to absolutely love. I spent so much time as a kid playing Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash with my mom, and every new entry in the series would have me hooked for a minimum of 50 hours or so. At some point though I've sort of started getting bored of it. Don't really play it as much as I used to, it just isn't as exciting as it used to be. To say I "outgrew" Mario Kart wouldn't be quite right, but maybe I kinda did?

yeah this is me too, not just with Mario Kart but with Smash too

I think part of it is that I'm not huge into online play and I don't really have anyone to play locally with, so it's hard for me to stay hooked on it for long.

so I was randomly browsing Netflix for something to watch and I decided to check out the first episode of Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated

as a modernized satire of the original cartoon it's pretty solid so if you grew up watching Scooby-Doo cartoons as I did it might be worth your while!

Also, when I was a kid, I was playing Michael Jordan's Chaos in the Windy City (yeah, yeah, I know), and I was messing around with the password system just for fun one time. By complete chance, I entered a password that put me at the next to last level. If I beat the game from there, does that count as "beating" the game?

seriously I want someone to answer this

(the password is all zeroes except for the last number which is a 9 in case anyone wants to confirm lawl)

This is getting sad. For a group of people who say "Who cares?" you sure need a ton of validation from every single fringe case and example.

it's more pointing out that there's some inherent inconsistency in trying to strictly say "if you cheat at all you didn't beat the game"

I'm not asking you to "validate" me by asking any of these questions. I'm honestly curious.

and nobody has bothered to ever answer my original question

I decided to introduce my fiancee to Scrubs, and we watched the first four episodes. I insisted we at least get through the first four because "My Old Lady" is the episode I realized this show was something special. She already seemed to really be enjoying it before we got there though! Based on her reactions to the characters from when we were watching, she seems to really like Dr. Cox and the Janitor the most so far.

Insisting that you beat the game even with save states is legit does come off as seeking validation, otherwise why not accept you really didn't?

I'm not "insisting" upon anything. The other side of the argument is the one attempting to force their standards across the board. I mean, if they want to assert I didn't beat the game, whatever. I seldom "brag" about beating a game anyway.

no one has been that aggressive about saying they'll play however they want

lordjers posted...
He wasn't telling you how to play the game. There doesn't seem to be any way of saying you don't really beat the game if you cheat without coming off as condescending apparently

well when he says "you have by no stretch of the imagination beaten the game" there's little room to argue it's not coming across as a condescending gatekeeper mentality

he may not be telling you "how to play the game" but he's basically saying he doesn't accept your terms if you don't beat it his way

it might be too morose for your tastes. one thing I've learned about you over the years is that you need a hero to latch onto.

edit: oh, and life is strange is in that style too, in case that wasn't clear. (I know you didn't love it)

Yeah, I definitely need someone to root for. They don't necessarily have to be a paragon, but they at least have to be likable and give me a reason to want them to succeed. Max was fine enough in Life is Strange, but she wasn't anything special in my eyes.

#5. Episode VII: The Force Awakens

The Good: People knock Episode VII for being too "safe" and just repeating a lot of the story beats of Episode IV, but I honestly think that's what the series needed to restore faith from the fanbase after the prequels were largely considered to be a disappointment. transience wrote something similar about how Dual Destinies righted the Ace Attorney ship by largely playing it safe after Apollo Justice nearly killed the series, and he was totally right (read transience's game ranking topic if you haven't yet. His stuff is always good). I think Force Awakens served a similar purpose. Just like Dual Destinies brought back Phoenix Wright to get things back on course, Episode VII brought back a lot of the original cast to do the same thing and they did their job well. Han Solo in particular was fantastic here. He might have had the best role of any of the returning characters in the sequel trilogy. It's kinda strange that he essentially plays the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi here, but he somehow nailed it!

The Bad: The raid on Starkiller Base really feels kinda half-baked. Approaching at lightspeed and somehow disengaging before ramming through the planet feels even more implausible than Episode VIII's lightspeed ram, but no one ever comments on that...! But they essentially just dumb luck their way through lowering the shields with no plan whatsoever and it somehow works! Also, this is more a critique of the sequel trilogy as a whole moreso than Episode VII itself, but I really loved Finn here and it felt like they didn't know what to do with him in the next two movies. They sort of teased something in Episode IX but never really confirmed anything or capitalized on it. Hopefully Finn gets some sort of Disney+ show or something to flesh him out!

The Best: Han Solo's death scene was really powerful here and one of the more emotionally charged moments in the series. I think part of why it's so powerful is because you know Han Solo ain't coming back because it's not like he's going to have some sort of Force Ghost, which kinda "cheapens" death in the Star Wars universe for some of the characters. Also, good on Chewie for landing that crossbow shot to Kylo Ren in the wake of Han's death. I also enjoyed the final lightsaber duel between Kylo and Finn/Rey. It was really fun and I loved the snow setting for it.
