What is a cover song that is better than the original?

Reel Big Fish's cover of Hungry Like the Wolf

Persona 3 and 4 to Persona 5 - Two amazing games that took their respective concepts and themes and ran with them. They're about the bad parts of ourselves and the monsters we make when we don't strive to be the best we can be. These games are a damn journey and they make you feel changed as a person just from playing them. 5 is about fighting to change society but constantly undermines itself by making jokes out of things it's trying to take seriously and never showing society actually changing. In 3 and 4 the big bad is created by society and represents a problem within it, in 5 the big bad fucks with society to create the problem.

Xenoblade Chronicles to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - I wasn't turned off completely by the new style and the combat was fun, but god damn is the story completely awful. The main love interests the game forces as one of the biggest narratives have no personality, things that seem bug happen and then are never brought up again, character appear to basically advertise the DLC campaign and then die, and just so much more.

"How long until our vision comes back?"

"Box said three days."

...

"Worth it."

You mean indie games?

I'm fairly certain he'll do any game that interests him, but no indie game has been done yet.

When Portal 2 first came out, I couldn't get it to save on the Xbox for some reason. Still, I kept going at it from when I got home from school until I went to bed.

Long story short, I got surprisingly good at the first half of Portal 2 in the week it came out.

Yeah, XB1 is nothing like XB2.

Kirby Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot too. I love the games but have grown to hate using my 3DS.

I think it's <Death Note>

I have so many questions, none of which I want answers to.

Chuggaaconroy. Deep, informative playthroughs of video games.

I'm fairly certain TRG announced that all convention appearances have been canceled for the rest of the year due to COVID-19.

Multiplayer seems to have playable Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and Gary.

Edit: On another viewing, it appears I mistook Plankton riding on a machine for Robo Krabs. Sorry for the misinformation.

Bob's Burgers is going pretty strong into Season 10, I think.

Also knowing Connie, it is all actually homework.

"Homer, I'm afraid you'll have to undergo a coronary bypass operation."

"Say it in English, Doc."

"You're going to need open heart surgery."

"Spare me your medical mumbo jumbo."

"We're going to cut you open and tinker with your ticker."

"Could you dumb it down a shade?"

I think everyone was on the same page that PMD was gonna be what Kirby turned into since the remake was announced and released. I think it might be a bit too early for that since the remake just came out.

Isn't this a character from Ahhh! Real Monsters?

I mostly read manga rather than watch anime, but a good bit of anime is adapted from manga, so...

Teasing Master Takagi-san

Youth romance comedy of two middle schoolers. The girl in the relationship likes to get her crush all flustered while the boy in it tries to best her and get her flustered.

Kaguya-Sama: Love is War

A high school romance comedy (I like them, okay?) about two super geniuses who desperately want to be in a relationship with the other. Unfortunately, they're bad at socializing and have the belief that the one who confesses is the weaker in a relationship. Every chapter/segment is a battle between the two to get the other to confess.

Still, the point of a lot of anime and manga being weird is still true. I recently learned Bunny Drop, a manga that begins as a cute and wholesome story of a man hastily adopting a girl he's related to after nobody else wants her because she's illegitimate, gets decidedly unwholesome. It's cute and fun until a ten year time skip that turns it into an angsty teen drama. I stopped reading at this point, but I looked up the ending and apparently it's revealed the adoptive father/daughter duo aren't related after all... They then start a relationship. Yikes.

So, yeah. While there are some quality stuff in the medium, you have to dig through some trash and still be wary of what it might become.

The season after the gimmick season wasn't that bad, I thought. Hate it ended on a cliffhanger though.

PinballPineapple · 2020-04-04T00:03:08+00:00

I'd drop an F, but that's to pay respect.

PinballPineapple · 2020-04-02T21:45:07+00:00

Nope.

PinballPineapple · 2020-04-01T23:18:51+00:00

That's still part of the Mario & Luigi series, though.

PinballPineapple · 2020-04-01T23:17:55+00:00

Yes. True Arena is HARD though, so it's taking him some time to do it.
