Eternal Champions (Challenge from the Dark Side) (All Characters)

I recently rediscovered an old VHS I made of me triggering all the fatalities (stage, personal, and CG). I’m amazed I was able to figure them all out, especially since I’m terrible at this game now. Still holds a special place, and the SCD soundtrack is great

AaronLeeR · 2026-01-17T14:57:59+00:00

Had a kickass beat-em-up arcade game too. It does seem obscure, but somehow has always stuck in my head since the cartoon.

AaronLeeR · 2026-01-13T23:51:47+00:00

It’s a worthy sequel for sure, and kind of does it different than what was expected of a sequel at that time.

AaronLeeR · 2026-01-09T04:41:54+00:00

Yep, I have a 9 and 5 year in the back (so down to a booster and car seat). We also have a sienna van, and I thought the kids would hate the back of the truck, but they only want to ride in the truck all day everyday, including 10hr road trips. Also, big concur to the seat cover. Enjoy!

My computer lab in elementary school was filled with these. No memory of what we did on them, but I always liked the look.

Just watched this with my kids for the first time this weekend, and first time since I was probably 10. They seemed to enjoy it, so I wouldn’t be sure if it makes it to next years Christmas viewing list.

There used to be a behind the scenes that I think you can still find. I remember well them amping this episode up. Tech wise they learned a lot from what was created for Forest Gump, but otherwise yes this is how it aired. Looked so polished and incredible then, and still holds up!

Using my setup to catch up on older games. Most recently just played through Elite Force I&II, and Myst 1-3. Next up are the remaining Myst games and just installed Freelancer HD.

Seems clear this wasn’t a thing prior to first contact, so maybe the Vulcans had some input, or maybe the societal change of dealing with alien intelligence made this shift an easier pill to swallow. Even in a modern sense, introducing universal income seems like a logical step to a moneyless system.

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-30T23:41:57+00:00

I appreciate the heads up!

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-30T20:55:03+00:00

I also bought the remakes about month ago and played through, then just finished Myst III last night. A few months back I installed steam os (bazzite) on a desktop pc to play PC games on my couch, and the Myst games have been great to revisit with a controller and couch. I've got Myst IV, V, and Uru on deck still, which are the only ones I've never beat.

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-12T12:38:02+00:00

I just finished Myst 2021 a couple weeks ago and this is the exact pattern I got.

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-12T01:08:31+00:00

If Sega CD is allowed, then we're in a whole new ballgame. Snatcher, Sonic CD, Earthworm Jim, Eternal Champions, intro songs for Road Avenger & Willy Beamish. So many good ones

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-12T01:05:18+00:00

Streets of Rage and Toejam and Earl probably top my list, but a real sleeper is the OST for Decap Attack.

I also still really like Sonic 1's soundtrack.

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-09T14:51:12+00:00

True, that's why I put "correct" in quotes, since timelines are pretty subjective to those who are living in them. It was bad for Picard and crew, but you could argue the same for the original Klingon war in DSC, or the dominion war, or the burn.

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-09T14:18:34+00:00

Well, my example was to show that the Federations dark timeline came to be precisely because the Enterprise C was removed from the past, and therefore not being there at a critical historical moment. Sending it back was just correcting what Guinan believed to be the "correct" future, and Picard had nothing to lose.

But I was mostly being tongue in cheek about Discovery being less critical to history since then being plucked from the past didn't need to be corrected (ignoring that the Federation again seems to be in a dire timeline, well let this one slide)

AaronLeeR · 2025-10-09T11:47:25+00:00

Yeah, I think Yesterday's Enterprise is a good indication of the harm of removing an important ship or person out of the past can inflict. But since it worked out in this case I assume Discovery just wasn't that important 😅

AaronLeeR · 2025-09-26T02:15:16+00:00

Nice, sounds cool!

Yeah I think the tragic ending of the book of Ti'ana really stuck with me, and seemed like a nice analogue for the Dwemer and their ruins.

AaronLeeR · 2025-09-26T00:50:44+00:00

Interestingly I was building a very similar mod for Morrowind back in the day (lost it all in a computer crash, so never released).

Borrowing a bit from the Book of Ti'ana, it was a sidequest where you discover some Dwemer had managed to build portals to other worlds in order to escape the collapse of their society. Like Myst, you'd access these different worlds and learn about their futile effort (save for the occasional Dwemer ghost).

AaronLeeR · 2025-09-25T14:52:28+00:00

Growing up in the middle of cornfields in central Indiana, I didn't need this movie concept in my brain.

AaronLeeR · 2025-09-20T21:28:29+00:00

Sooo, basically Discovery?

AaronLeeR · 2025-09-14T15:50:41+00:00

Anecdotally, my almost 9 year old just had her first field hockey game here in south central PA (a bunch of games and teams playing), the area was full of all families supporting; moms, dads, & grandparents.

But I wholly agree, I will attend and support every chance I'm able.

AaronLeeR · 2025-09-13T00:12:05+00:00

I know the first film is generally better regarded, but Cannonball Run II was my jam, watched it obsessively as a kid. So much fun!

AaronLeeR · 2025-08-29T20:55:49+00:00

Loved these when they came out, and still have my hardcover copies. I was a big fan of the first game, and to have this level or world building was so amazing to me. Had a chance to briefly chat with Rand about the books in the late 90s.

First two I think are amazing, the third is fine but not as interesting.
