FF VIII won 5 rounds, doesn't it get a rest now?


@TheOrangeMisfit


Read the op. Since there's only one game left, it really doesn't matter if it rests or not since it has to face it regardless.

Not if OoT is eliminated before it gets through 5 PS1 games.

This is bs, just giving OoT a cheap easy win against a game that's now hated b/c of "number confusion" and facing the staleness of being in the contest for so long.

So apparently assaulting a black kid is "political" now.

Here I just thought it was universally thought of as a tremendously fucking shitty thing to do. My mistake, I guess some people support that sort of behaviour...


A South Carolina woman has been charged with assault after she was recorded hitting a teenager at a neighboorhood pool and then assaulting deputies when they tried to arrest her.

Not just a kid, also police. so yeah.
shouldn't it be assault and battery, btw?

I never enjoyed the 2D ones. The only platformer I ever enjoyed was Spyro.

Didn't like Mario, Crash, Bubsy, Gex or any other other platformers I played.

I liked Mario 2D games as a kid. And Mega Man, if that counts (it should).

Wild 9 was fun during PS1 era.

More recently, Shantae and Guacamelee were really good.

But I generally don't like them, and in the games above aside from Mario (which was pretty much a pure platformer), the platforming is pretty much always the worst part of the game play.

It's an odd example, but yet another example of why I never feel comfortable taking the conventional advice and "peacefully engaging with the other person and asking them to be quieter" before resorting to police.

Most people being loud and obnoxious don't give a shit about the people around them, they have no consideration. If they did, they wouldn't be making so much noise in the first place.
Some small % might legit not realize that they're annoying their neighbors, but it's not worth the personal risk to see if the people annoying you are that small %.

I try to endure a noise situation and 95% of the time it's over soon and I get on w/ my life, but if it goes on for a long time.... No scene, no confrontation. Just a private call to the police for a noise complaint. I don't want those inconsiderate fucks to know who called the police on them.

It's just usually...the fear is the person you call the police on will try to retaliate against you. Not call you a racist. I guess the end result is the same: fearing for your life just b/c you wanted quiet.

Sure. There is. Someone literally said FFVII, though. And it even looked like VII to me when I saw it at first. Its likely it got a lot of votes due to that...

AND ff8 only beat Majora's mask by 1 vote last round. Surely at least 2 people voted for ff7 and note ff8

If it helps, I voted for MM just because I figured N64 deserved a mercy win, and I don't care about either game.

It's the worst Nintendo home console vs. a top 3 all time console. Frankly, it should be an even bigger blow out, and that overrated mediocrity of a game, OoT, is probably going to take out like 8 games before finally dying.

Shocked FF8 is doing so well, though. It's giving Suikoden 2 a serious challenge for contest MVP.


Woah man, times have changed if people are calling 64 the worst.


If anything, people seem to praise it a lot more now. In the early 2000s, it seemed everyone agreed that the PSX was far superior, and even GameCube had surpassed it.

The PSX was far superior. Generally speaking the best consoles are the PS2, SNES, and PSX with nothing else really coming terribly close.

Never really understood the love for the GC. That was when I truly realized Nintendo had given up on anything but first party games.

Yeah, PS2, SNES, and PS1 are by far and away the best systems, because of their games libraries.

I like GC a lot more than you though, apparently. It's Nintendo's 3rd best home console after SNES and NES for me.

I've always considered N64 the worst Nintendo console. I really liked Gamecube, and it's a shame it's looked at as a failure. On this site at least, N64 seems to be oddly beloved by the majority, which I don't understand.

Then again RPGs are my favorite genre.

Wii U was great, Nintendo just abandoned it really quickly / ported out many of its exclusives. Bayonetta 2, Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade X, Smash Bros, Guacamelee, Shantae & The Pirate's Curse...I got plenty of enjoyable gaming out of my Wii U, if it didn't have (effectively) only a 3 year lifespan, it really could've been an amazing library

It's how Chinese laws work, if the victim is still alive then you get punished more harshly, that's why it's a legitimate tactic to set your vehicle on reverse if you hit someone to make sure they're dead.

This happened in Canada, the judge was probably bribed or something

Sounds like Stand Your Ground laws here, where you have a much better chance of getting off scott free if you make sure the other witness(es) are dead, so it's harder to prove the killing wasn't "in self defense."
If the person you shot lives, you're in trouble. Better to unload all your rounds when you fire, to make sure he doesn't.
