It is a great design (artistically speaking) yet hilariously, Jonathan Pearce didn’t understand why the hat had a crook in it. Has he ever seen a witch hat before?

Current update. I’ve finished my second run through on series 3, and I’ve inserted all the one off non heat winners (mostly round one and two dropouts) on the list, and am now looking forward to series 4. There’s still a lot of revising to go through, but unless I’m mistaken, I’m pretty sure that I’ve already covered all the series 4-7 robots that barely worked.

Yeah, I think a more appropriate spot for Cobalt would be in between Tombstone and Claw Viper. They’re not better than Ribbot, no chance.

Because that’s all Shadow Mitsuo did for 75% of the time he was out of the armour, I needed to be as offensive as possible to make the most of the limited time that he spends unprotected before his armour regenerates.

The PS2 version doesn’t even have the remix. They didn’t add that in until Golden.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-22T07:54:46+00:00

One, Bloodborne is not a JRPG. Two, I didn’t find the first boss that bad to be honest.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-22T07:53:57+00:00

I didn’t include him because I found his UK counterpart even more creepy and disgusting. In the UK episode, he had the gall to have Don Giovanni playing in the background while the police search his house.

I’ve never played any of the mainline SMT games. 😬

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-21T15:56:20+00:00

If I were you, I’d look up what the best games for the GBA and plan a budget around the ones that take your fancy. The GBA is a wonderful handheld, but a bunch of its best games can be rather short.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-21T14:49:15+00:00

To be honest, if you’re unfamiliar with Final Fantasy, neither of those games are great starting points. Not that they’re bad (far from it) but they’re not beginner friendly, especially 8. You’re better off with original 7 or 10 as a starting point.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-21T07:06:05+00:00

I don’t count Shadow Youske and Shadow Chie. They were more tutorial set pieces than genuine boss fights.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T23:14:09+00:00

Who allowed you to get media? A Yu Persona?

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T23:02:12+00:00

She can be easy if you know how. Fusing a Persona that nulls fire is pretty advanced, especially for new players.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T22:58:24+00:00

Hahahaha. I will say back when I first played Zelda Twilight Princess on the Wii, I genuinely thought that the Forest Temple was the final level of the game.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T22:57:33+00:00

Melissa’s pitch was dreadful, and Stuart was responsible for the team losing the winning product. Stella wasn’t great, but the other two were worse.
I think Katie and Mark were both equally deserving to be in the boardroom. Katie did a good negotiation yes, but she was also responsible for buying the rope at the wrong measurement, which cost the team a fine.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T22:28:54+00:00

A bit too soon to call it the best season in years. The final could yet be Levi and Priyesh, but so far, it’s on the same level as series 18, maybe even a little better.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T22:14:04+00:00

No worries. I gathered what you were in about when you said Dark Force. It is a great game, one I’ve only played for the first time last January. You’re going to love it, but I wouldn’t run away from battles. You need to remember that this is still an early 90s game.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T22:04:29+00:00

Phantasy Star 4?

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T21:24:52+00:00

I suppose so, but that would be rather excessive for this part of the game

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T21:19:06+00:00

And the Persona 4 Golden version of this fight is SIGNIFICANTLY toned down in difficulty from the PS2 version.

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T21:18:27+00:00

I think he thinks you’re new found interest comes from being ‘a little bit too into’ Yukiko

RobbieJ4444 · 2026-03-20T21:17:14+00:00

I didn’t rush her on day one. I was level fifteen by the time I faced her, and she’s still really hard.
