    Spring Anime 2021

    TWEWY Ep 3 I forgot about that plot twist. Also: This anime exists to get you hyped to play the Neo: TWEWY sequel that's coming out in the summer, and it's totally working

    I kind of liken it to something like Donkey Kong Country 3 or Assassin's Creed Revelations or the later NES Mega Man games where it's maybe too well-refined and people were over it by then, but I just loved how easy it felt to play compared to God of War III, and the puzzle solving got pretty clever too. Not as good of QTE set-pieces with Titans like in God of War 3, though. And yeah, the story and setting had overstayed its welcome, easily the weakest non-multiplayer part of the game. Speaking of 18) God of War III (Platinum) I had three trophies left, beating the Challenge of the Gods (easier than I thought it would be), beating the Labyrinth without dying and beating Titan Mode. I cheated for the last two, there was a glitch that gave you infinite health and all your weapons maxed out at the start of the game (still died a few times on the Labyrinth anyways). Would've hated trying to do this legit. Some of those battles seemed like quite a bit of bullshit heaped on you. Still would be my least favourite God of War if it wasn't for the second PSP game.

    17) God of War: Ascension (Platinum) Just had to beat it once on Hard Mode to get the Platinum. Still my favourite God of War game. Only annoyances was the camera zooming out a bit too much at times and the QTEs (especially in combat, where you're frantically mashing one button and suddenly you have to press another to counter an attack and there's really no way to do it)

    2021 NHL Season

    Fucking weird, before the Canucks had 4-5 more games played than everyone else in the division, now because of the rona it's 4-5 games less. Probably won't be able to make the playoffs unless Montreal goes on a significant losing streak and the Canucks do the opposite (and even then, the Canucks don't play them any more this year so they're not in control of their own destiny) in the last games of the season.

Though, one thing that always annoys me about street racing games is that the computer AI is tuned to make the right moves to quickly recover from any contact with anything whereas if you slightly nudge a street sign or a wall, you're liable to backflip your car right off a cliff. I popped all the available non-DLC single player trophies and hopefully I'll eventually find a boosting partner to pop the Platinum but if not it's fine, I'm over 50% trophies even counting the DLC (which I'm not going to get).

    TBH I'd actually spin it that they hindsight screwed themselves in the PS3 generation. The Cell Processor being such a bitch to do backwards compat with whereas Microsoft's had a much more uniform hardware development style throughout their console life laid the groundwork for Microsoft skating out of this looking good no matter what. You can almost guarantee Sony at some point was hoping to utilize PS3 port or remake collections to make extra money (TLOU1 remake, wtf?) and then Microsoft dragged them kicking and screaming into a pro-consumer thing instead.

    Thanks Sony, RIP my wallet (Acks kinda nice because I probs never would've gotten around to buying most of that stuff otherwise)
  8. I heard it was the police who more or less said "Yeah, we're not doing that" and Ford had to walk it all back to save what little face he had left from it.

    >tfw might get Samoa Joe back I think Mojo Rawley might be a sleeper pickup. Wasn't great in the ring from what I saw but his unscripted promos were really great

    I had an okay time with 86/Eighty Six but there's also nothing special about it. I might drop it if there's too many other things piling up. Tokyo Revengers Ep 1 seems like it'll be fun

Not possible to Platinum anymore (the online was locked behind a pass which was no longer for sale after the game got de-listed), but I wouldn't have been able to anyways, not skilled enough at drifting and don't know enough about cars to figure out good set-ups to accomplish some of said stunt/trick modes. Luckily there was enough to do that I hit 52% trophy completion (65% in the base game/not counting DLC trophies) so I could at least maintain the goal of 50% trophies on my profile (acks TLOU1 on my profile is below that because of the multiplayer).

    MAN, Mania Night 1 was good as fuck. Splitting Mania into two nights is definitely the way to go, a 3 hour show is compact and the fan buzz doesn't die halfway through (goddamn were those fans jazzed to be there even after the storm delay)

This one can go next to Yakuza Kiwami as a video game achievement I'm actually proud of.

    UPDATE: I still haven't done it, but I've gotten close to the point where I know it's do-able. I've gotten so used to pause-restarting that I've even done it on a few successful jumps on accident

    The World Ends With You has the music intact (Or at least some of it, which is what I wanted. Still no Three Minutes Clapping tho)

    Apparently in the PS4 version, there's a glitch where you can just pop the Hard Time Attack trophy (actually the item rewards that in turn pop the trophy) without actually doing it, and it was never patched out

    Beat Colossus 15 in Hard Mode Time Attack. 15 and 3 are the ones who seem to stop people from beating them all, so if I can knock off 3 then I'll feel better about the chance to Platinum the game (though there was still 2 or 3 other Colossi that I remember having problems with)

    Gokushufudou is funny as fuck. Watched the first ep and I'll space out the others to be weekly (Netflix batch-released) Ep 2 of Shaman King didn't really grab me either, I'll give it one more.

    Jumping back and forth between Shadow of the Colossus Hard Mode Time Attack (makes me mega-mad) and Dirt 3 (very relaxing). Haven't really played a rally racer before but it's p. fun

    I was interested in Super Cub because I had a lot of fun with "cute girls on motorbikes" thing with Bakuon a few years back, but then like 30 seconds in and it already hit the "I WANT TO LIVE IN ANIME JAPAN" switch so it's a winner

    Can't wait for the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup so I can say "Yeah, but it wasn't a real season" every time it comes up

Used a youtube speed run and still just barely got it (the Graveyard encounter in particular I could never figure out how to do, so I ended up burning probably 5 minutes just clearing the enemies out). Surprisingly I don't hate this game after doing this, but there were a few spots that were pull-your-hair-out aggravating even without speedrunning.
