Now here's a question for you: FF8 came out on steam before the 7 and 9 "graphical upgrade" versions, yet both of those have been released on PS4. Why wasn't 8?

why is this a question for me

No good Chinese or Japanese food, no Italian to speak of. Not sure how you define "greatness" in a restaurant, but it's certainly lacking in culinary diversity.

Once again, you are objectively wrong. I can name a BUNCH of good Chinese and Japanese places. There are some good Italian places, too. Some of them relatively new. And "good" doesn't necessarily mean "outrageously expensive food." It means a delicious meal.

You very clearly have never been here. Your friend clearly knows nothing and is just thinking every place should be New York. That's laughable.

Have you ever had real food or are these "good" Asian restaurants in comparison to those in Podunk, WI?

1. Great restaurants. Anyone who has been here can vouch for how good the food is. Burgers, fish fry, pizza, all kinds of ethnic food... and almost all of it is good. The restaurant scene here is always lively and you'll definitely enjoy it. Just ignore SephyG - he hasn't even been here, so how the hell can he base it on something he 'heard" from an idiot?

The idiot I know who moved there has family in the restaurant business in New York and Taiwan, so I don't take her opinion mildly.

Madison does not have good food from what I hear, which should automatically knock it out of contention.

This is one of the most objectively wrong things I've ever heard.

Madison has GREAT restaurants. Also has good public transit and enough things to do to keep you occupied.

I almost said I don't like being outside but my experience is Florida. Yeah outside is alright whrn it isn't 95 with death humidity. Nerds are alright with me for obvious reasons. I worked on the back end for a travel company (dealing with vendors) but ibthink it is time for s career change. I want to get into technical writing/editing because I am good at it despite no formal experience.

I might want to take you up on that SE.

If you're into technical writing then maybe look for entry level stuff at a gaming company? That would probably mean LA, Seattle, or NY maybe?

honestly, Lebron doesn't need stars around him. he needs guys that can run and defend and give effort and make hustle plays and hit 3s.

he needs both. every title team needs both. he doesn't beat GSW without kyrie and love as well as TT/JR/shumpert/delly balling out; he doesn't beat OKC or SAS without wade and bosh in addition to miller/battier/allen/chalmers.

Has any alpha dog player willed himself to a title... like ever? I can't think of anyone in my lifetime, honestly.

I'm wondering if my scoring system is weighing the "importance" factor a little too much.

I really need something that will grip me if I manage to have a night where I can relax and play a game for 5+ hours. JRPGs used to be the easiest for me to do because I could either mindlessly grind or get hooked by advancing the story.

Which one has received the most points?







I'm asking this question a little differently, since I have several parameters that I know will factor into my overall enjoyment of the game/series. I'd like you to assign point values to each of the ones listed above based on the following factors:

0-5 points: How easy is it to pick up and play? I have long stretches in work/life where I will be too busy to commit any time to gaming, so I need something that I can come back to a month later and still be able to pick up where I left off.

0-5 points: How addictive/compelling is it? I want something that, if I have an entire night to myself, will be able to keep me glued to the controller. This can be through very addictive gameplay and/or a compelling storyline that keeps me wanting more. Anything that can get stale or cause fatigue after awhile should get less points.

0-5 points: How necessary is it to the "video game canon"? For example, I would award 5 points to someone who has never played the Mega Man because it is such an iconic franchise in gaming.

0-5 points: How does it stand the test of time? If you see a game or series will forever be clouded by nostalgia but may not be so revolutionary for someone playing it for the first time in 2018, give less points. Give more for something that still looks/feels great in the modern era. Please note: out of this list, I grew up playing Mario and Sonic, but never formally beat the series. Everything else will virtually be an initial playthrough.

0-10 points: What is your overall rating of this game if I asked you this question without any context whatsoever?

Please post the point totals of your winner for discussion.
