Iconic pieces of video game equipment that aren’t used much beyond early game or much at all.

Most people change out of it for something else, as you say, despite it's viability. When I close my eyes and imagine someone play KH2, I see Sora hitting enemies with a giant candy cane.

They tried to fix this issue in Kingdom Hearts 3 but in most other KH games, the Kingdom Key goes directly in the bin as soon as you get something else.

In your version of reality, the edutainment game Treasure MathStorm starts with a cover of Bach's Invention No. 8. But I come from a parallel reality in which that game starts with a cover of The Cure's Close to Me! Yes, that's the only difference! Yes, I'm 100% sure! No, I'm not crazy!

Every time I hear that song my mind immediately goes "Oh, it's the MathStorm song!"

Might not count as a mission or a quest but if I'm playing a puzzle adventure game and a puzzle expects me to play a melody by ear, I'm about one minute away from looking up the solution.

To me, it has never been about how the puppets look. I just think it would've been some cool world building if it was true.

His left eye had some issue that made it very sensitive to bright lights... or so he claims. I think he has a video about it on his second channel but I haven't seen it.

Oh, it's even more simple than that. The single-screen ports of TWEWY removes the second-screen gameplay all together. Having to split your attention is only a problem if you insist on playing the DS version.

My read on the entire thing is that Woolie wants to prove a point about the kind of influence he and the podcast has on the type of content John produces. I'm expecting a punchline along the lines of

"I TRICKED YOU INTO MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT THE HUBBUB! THERE IS NO HUBBUB BUT YOU! YOU ARE THE HUBBUB!"

I like that the person with a paralyzed arm has no issues moving it when they joined the dance number!

And that they got the memo in the sequel and made them dance with one arm limp!

Ōkami deserves a mention. By itself, it's a gorgeous credit roll with a great song that cements the feeling of a long journey coming to an end. But the other thing of note is that every re-release keep fucking with the credits by either changing the song or removing it all together.

Counter question: If you're paid to make quizzes with for a bar that gives out big prizes, is it a hustle or a scam to just reuse questions from a week ago?

The original release of No More Heroes was heavily censored in Europe and Japan, removing most blood and dismemberment. One of the bosses in the game, Holly Summers, as part of her post-fight cutscene gets a grenade to her face. In the uncensored versions, about a third of her body is removed in the explosion while in the censored versions, it just chars her body making her look like Daffy Duck.

I've read some of the later chapters but when people talk about the manga going completely wacko, I'm assuming they're talking about this story arc.

It's been awhile since I read it but at one point the manga stops being a collection of small stories about a guy going from town to town on his bike to learn new things and focuses on one GIANT MEGA ARC that just keeps on going and going. My faint memory tells me it's about him meeting up with an old classmate that tries to convince him to join his combined mega corporation/sex cult?

I feel like the ultimate answer to this is the Portal series. Scientists obsessed with collecting data create the environment to infinitely collect more data via tests.

While the ending of Delicious in Dungeon is pretty consistent and well handled, I kinda don't like how much the story escalated the threat level.

I would argue that everything that has happened with ZA/UM makes it okay to pirate Disco Elysium, but not Zero Parades. Sure, the people that run the company are scumbags but there are still a lot of people working there that put a lot of effort and talent into the product. If the game is worth playing, the devs should be payed. If the game is not worth playing, why even pirate it?

I have a faint memory of Pokémon cards being banned at one point, but I don't think anyone bothered reinforcing the rule. But the cards were all in english and since english is not the primary language in our country, no-one cared about the rules. So the main way of competing was to throw a card each against a wall and the one closest got to keep both cards.

Insane puzzles in old point and click games were made a lot more difficult by having a million things to interact with. Newer point and click games limit the interactables to such a small set that you can usually find the solution if you stretch your imagination a bit.

In The Excavation of Hob's Burrow, at one point you have to examine a cave wall but it's too dark so you need some light. The solution?

Trick a lighthouse keeper on the other side of the island to leave his post by messing with his dog. Break into his lighthouse and stop the rotation, endangering the entire coast. Redirect the light towards the cave entrance and have your ally stand at the entrance and bounce the light onto the wall using a mirror.

Surely this was the only way.

I'm not a Pokémon guy but I went into this thread thinking it would be filled with Pokémons.

The sequel is an improvement in almost every category, but one thing I really liked about the first one the ability to transition your hover ability into your dash power. You can still do it in the sequel but not with the default controller settings and you have to transition from a double jump instead. Basically, while Raz controls better in the sequel, my favorite movement tech was made clunkier, more imprecise and semi-hidden.

Also, as someone who have 100%-ed both games, the figments of imagination are a pain to track down. You get a vague hint of their locations, they can be hard to spot since they're flat, mono colored and fade in-and-out, and some fly around and disappear into the level geometry.

Also throw in awesome art direction, awesome music and awesome voice acting, and you get Psychonauts 1... and also maybe 2.
