Also check out this very funky arrangement of Benny and the Jets by the Fearless Flyers:

Been listening to the latest GoGo Penguin album this weekend, they're a really great trio:

I played that demo a long time ago, it made me want to buy the game too. Can't remember if I actually did though

Some of it is hilarious, but yes it is a terrible translation overall. Also it feels like the slowest version of the game. You'll get a nice boost enough the addition of Bio, Break, and Comet in Rugor. Plus with that grinding you did, most of Galuf's world will be a breeze. You have a good team for taking on Exdeath at the end of Galuf's world too. That can be a tough battle for some jobs.

Judging by the other games included in the poll, he is looking to play some of the classic Sega games rather than the latest entry in the series.

Huh. I saw that pop up on Crunchyroll this morning and figured I'd give it a go tonight. Sounds like it could be funny. Still gonna watch it anyway, but I will keep your not-so-good first impression in mind!

Truly groundbreaking box art

Win #5 is in the books. Black Mage -> Red Mage -> Bard -> Samurai. The stretch as a solo Bard was a bit painful, but my final job was Samurai so that made the rest of the game easy peasy. It was actually quite useful having the Equip Harps ability from the Bard for the final boss. Apollo's Harp does mega damage against Dragon type monsters (ie, the part of NeoExdeath that casts Grand Cross)

I've done this "low and slow" wings recipe a couple times with good results: https://www.macheesmo.com/slow-roasted-chicken-wings/ Definitely not a summertime recipe if you don't have air conditioning though! We are trying to avoid using our oven at all costs right now, much too hot in the apartment.

It reminded me of Attack on Titan in quite a few ways. In any case, I thought the first episode was great.

Deca-Dence is off to a strong start

Deca-Dence premieres today. Just checked and episode #1 it's already there on Funimation. I'm looking forward to watching it tonight.

Have fun with Contra!

How many $$$ are you short to get Ikaruga + Contra?

Puyo Puyo Champions is on sale on the PS Store right now, that would be my pick for a puzzle game

I thought the bike chase was great, I'll watch more. Should be fun. I just hope the story isn't too dumb and/or convoluted. Keep it simple plz.

You've gotta play Contra and Super C, they're classics. Though once you get good at them, they aren't very long games. If you're not crazy about them then perhaps there is not much replay value there. I also think Golden Axe is one of those "you've gotta play it before you die" kinda games as well. It was even featured a bit in Hi Score Girl IIRC. Do it for Akira! Second look at the first list, and I actually would back Ikaruga and Neo Geo Puzzle Bobble. Probably should have given a vote to one of them. I guess it comes down to what genre you think you're going to get the most out of (puzzle, run'n'gun, shmup, beat 'em up)

If you manage to learn Catch with all your characters then you can hit NeoExdeath with four Breath Wings for major damage, that's always fun Requires a bit of ABP grinding though.

Yep, it was trash

@Eizan @Rulkster where you guys at? #4 is in the books. I nearly blew it at the end because I was not keeping track of HP totals carefully enough. I narrowly avoided get destroyed and got off one last attack for the win (PHEW)

Nothing really grabs me in the first list. I voted for Streets of Rage 2 and the Contra Collection. You haven't played the NES Contra games??? And Streets of Rage games are fantastic. I also back Gunstar Heroes and Golden Axe big time. Surely you've played Golden Axe before though..?

Lots of jazz. Really been enjoying some of the tunes from Oscar Peterson's Canadiana Suite. Also some Turboprop:

Still going strong in Final Fantasy V Just about to wrap up my fourth run.

I haven't checked out anything new yet, maybe I'll watching something tonight. Really happy that Digimon is back, anyway. It's been great so far.

I like this short and sweet take on it: A mask is not a political statement; it's an IQ test.
