The end of disc 1 pops off so hard lol. The whole assassination plot line with its twists and turns is wild tbh

Forgot disc 2 started with torture holy shit lol

Just going for it huh ff8

Such a phenomenal stretch. Disc 2 also has that great moment where Squall flies in from nowhere to save Zell at the prison.

God, I love that game.

Game is much more about character dynamics and chemistry than whatever else is going on. As a result it doesn't have a top tier moment like most other FF but I find it enjoyable the whole way through. They're all decent at worst.

Opening cinematic is a top tier moment, without question.

Squall/Rinoa in space and Squall breaking Rinoa out of the Sorceress Memorial are standout moments as well.

Everyone likes them. The better question is, what is your favorite song, because they have at least 20 songs that could easily be in contention for best.

I vote For Whom the Bell Tolls

Managed to not use a guide, although I got stuck for a while at a place where you need a fire arrow, and I never got the fire arrow in my playthrough. Fortunately, there's a torch nearby that you can shoot a normal arrow through and pass that way, even if it was a bit difficult to do.

Wait... You can beat OoT without Fire Arrows? This is news to me.

Why remake Persona 3 instead of one of the earlier games no one has played?

Because P3 is the first "modern" Persona, and there is no true "definitive" version yet.

I wonder if they'll keep in the part about shooting yourself to summon your persona.

I sure hope so. First time it happened was the moment that drew me into the Persona games.

Your FIRST Playthrough: Did you need a guide/walkthrough to beat OoT?


Playing the 3DS remake right now, and I'm wondering if anyone beat OoT back in the late '90s without a guide or outside hints.

As a kid, I couldn't navigate the Lost Woods to unlock Saria's Song (the in-game "follow the music" hint didn't click with me). After struggling with that for a day, I caved and went to Toys R Us to buy the official Nintendo player's guide.

Not gonna lie, I kept that player's guide handy at all times--which is a bummer, because I wish I had experienced OoT without checking a walkthrough every five minutes.

Going into this watchthrough, Airplane! was probably the biggest-name film I hadnt seen before. And this is the kind of movie that makes me really glad for these projects, because I never wouldve found the time to watch this otherwise, and it was great.

I echo this. Thanks so much for running this project, Tangy. Probably never would've watched my #1, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 without it.

Sorry everyone, I ruined it. If I were to rerank Galaxy Quest now I would have it a little higher though

Honestly thought Galaxy Quest was the favorite from the start. It's the only movie on the list that manages to be funny, clever, heartwarming, dramatic, meta, and generally well-written. AND the cast is an absolute treat.
