And I didn't expect them to announce a Knuckles series! We're in uncharted territory here!

And Metal Sonic's neat, but he's hardly a major character. He's a cool thing to gush over at the end of the movie who gets wrecked by the power of teamwork and friendship.

I reckon a giant egg robot would do it

So, he's saying he's got all the money and fame he'd ever need and would just retire instead? Well, ok then.

He was pretty driven by having the most slams before. This is a strange hill to die on.

Wonder if we'll have somebody in this topic defending him again

A fair few

Outer Wilds - the DLC has the ending where his hand comes out of the shadow, and the first time I put down the fucking lantern

The main game has the first time I warped to the sun station, the ending, and Solanum.

The recent AA Spirit of Justice topic reminds me of Dhurke being dead. I absolutely did not see it coming at all.

Speaking of Ace Attorney, the first game has the metal detector.

Pokemon Legends Arceus gave me one when Giratina changed form, the amazing Giratina theme kicked in, and you basically had an 8-on-6 fight. Terrific boss

Agree with Evan Peters appearing in Wandavision and Harry in Silent Hill 3

I was amazingly unspoiled on the famous Sixth Sense twist, that got me big time

Breaking Bad had Hank and Gus' deaths

GoT had the sept blowing up

BoJack had Sara Lynn's death, that one cut me deep

Also yeah taking Dread out of the equation, "Metroidvania" seems a bit antiquated anyway. They'd need to be producing games of that ilk on a regular basis. Otherwise what the term means becomes lost and requires explaining

Except it's completely unclear what it is by itself and you end up referring back to the original term in some way to define it.

Like if the term can't stand on its own and people don't immediately know what kind of game it is, it's a crap term.

Imo that makes some sense when the term is new

Though my point is more that it's better to move away from terms like "Metroidvania" and "Soulsborne", so even if Search Action isn't perfect, it's still better

I mean if GTA keeps continuing forever and they never do a female protagonist it would be weird as hell. You've got to do one sooner or later. No reason it can't be the next one

Same idea as Doctor Who. There's no reason why it can't be, so if you refuse that's a way worse position to take than never doing it.

People have to hold developers to some kind of fucking standard. One day they're going to slack on something you actually care about and suddenly you're going to care.

Which Pokemon have done repeatedly for years, especially with Sword and Shield. Is your argument really that Pokemon fans, particularly on this board, have been these complacent, content zombies that never "hold Game Freak to some kind of standard"?

I thought it looked ok. Sometimes I even thought to myself "wow, that looks awesome".

Obviously there were some issues, like the water being that kind of copy-pasted water when you get high enough, or the way Pokemon look at a distance. Those both took me out of it a bit. But mostly fine. By no means enough to be a serious issue

Thanks man. I ultimately enjoy these, especially at the end. I'll definitely start it at a more active time next year. Starting in the dead hours worked before to give early entrants a chance but I think now it's a bit less necessary.

That said, Scare is also the second-earliest contestant to win the Rumble apart from Shad (#8) so maybe the way I did it this time was right.

Also, I have to admit that about 24 hours ago I was thinking of making this Rumble the last one, because it was so tedious early and literally everyone entered before we got any elims due to how dead it was... and the 20m entrances were really stressful (hence why many were a few minutes late). I'm a bad timekeeper at the best of times so it started getting to me.

However, as always, the second half really helped me remember how good these things can be. I guess I should either change the start time, stop giving the early entrants so many extra points, or both. But there needs to be a way to get through that tedious first bit faster.

KCF will almost certainly take the Iron Man, which is remarkable given that he won it last year. Another stellar performance (though still short of Apollo_Phoenix's 31-hour record. But that was with half-hour voting windows, so there's an argument for KCF being the best).

Losing Emerald and KCF like that marks probably the first time in history that the previous two Rumble winners were eliminated back-to-back.
