Should've offered some of my leftover noms for great escape noms!

Ah, that's good.

Makes this kind of a nothing event then, lol.

Not really. A lot of games are backwards compatible, but more aren't.

I do think it's a minority of good games that isn't backwards compatible however. But at that point you're still in the 'video game preservation' argument; even if it's not good, it is disappearing (and forever if this now gives Sony the incentive to try to shut down their PS3/PSP/Vita store again).

OP 14 - Fight Together - Namie Amuro - One Piece
OP 6 - Brand New World - D-51 - One Piece
OP 11 - Share the World - TVXQ - One Piece
OP 2 - Rhythm Emotion (with beeps!) - Two-Mix - Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
ED 2 - great escape - Cinema Staff - Attack on Titan
OP 1 - Hit in the USA - Beat Crusaders - Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad
OP 13 - Ranbu no Melody - SID - Bleach
OP 1 - Tank! - Seatbelts - Cowboy Bebop
OP 2 (5) - World's End - Flow - Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

Considering Fight Together has already seen two bolded noms I am considering dropping it for ED 2 of One Piece but Fight Together is sooooo good.

Nice to meet you, mister Gump, I'm a big fan.

Xbox One reveal will be an easy top 5.

Having never played anything past Gen VI, it's easily DPPt for me. I've also never played Platinum, but man, Diamond and Pearl are easily the worst of the mainline games. Annoying characters, a sluggish chore to play through, not a great Dex, bad spread of Pokemon, all the annoying terrain gimmicks, dweeby Team Galactic except for primal edgelord Cyrus...

Very difficult to rank, almost feels like it diminishes the album to look at tracks separately.

But one of those is about calling out attacks, which sure sounds like being ashamed of being a battle shonen to me.

But it's not really a battle shonen anymore. I have mixed feelings about the trailer, but it is good that they're actually making an adaptation, rather than trying to go 1:1 which would probably have worked out way worse.

Also yeah, Zoro definitely calls out his attacks.

I think the problem is that Zoro's attacks are all Japanese (and food puns iirc) and if you literally translate them, most of them sound really dumb. It's no problem for Luffy to sound really dumb, because that's Luffy, but for Zoro it would take away some edge I think. And keeping them Japanese would just be weird if the live-action is more Anglo-centric.

One problem, the One Piece anime is not great. At least pacing-wise, it's very daunting. It's hard to recommend it to people, unlike something like Cowboy Bebop. So if this show is decent enough, it could encourage anime/manga likes who are put off by the anime to read the manga!

One Piece has few, if any, pacing issues until like episode 300 at which point you should be invested enough to stick with it until like 500-600 when it becomes actually bad and you can then just go to the manga.

Anyway, I have mixed feelings but overall it didn't look as bad as I thought it would. I think my main issue was the bad cinematography and Nami's wig. Who would've thought that with Zoro and Sanji, she'd come out looking the worst? It looked better in the 'not a crew' scene, but still.

QOTSA is a band that has multiple iconic albums, though; like, Rated R is big enough to also be listed in the top 1000 albums of all time on Acclaimed Music, and is just on the edge of the top 1000 on RYM. I don't think Stifled is picking 'less popular' albums, as there are plenty of QOTSA fans who legitimately think Rated R is their best album.

Nah, I kinda get the point. Rated R is great, but give someone the QOTSA discography for the first time and they'll probably play Songs for the Deaf the most; I think it's the easiest to listen to (together with maybe Era Vulgaris).

You're kidding yourself if you think the first two games are before 2025.

The only revealed release dates will be 2024.

Anyway I was wrong because Payday is coming this year.

CG trailers only, release dates only 2024. Otherwise Spencer would not have been so apologetic in the KF interview about Redfall.

This is what people in the biz call Poop with capital P. Man, COVID really did a number on gaming didn't it?

I beat this game but was bored out of my skull with it. Combat is so boring as the characters are all just basic warriors or mages with a few different spells, and dungeons are just 'find whichever path isn't a dead end while fighting random encounters'.

I did hear the DS version had the problem where your characters don't chat, which I think was a big shame as it completely zapped any personality out of the game.

I don't know! Good question. Let's say no for now, but willing to revisit if need be.

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas then.

If live albums would be allowed; Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

No Greatest Hits, so also no live albums I'm guessing?

Aahhh, Eurodance classics. My personal favourite will always be Crying At the Discoteque.

I don't really see corporate meddling here; Microsoft is pretty well known for being (almost too) hands-off with this stuff.
