I have enough money to buy all of'em but I'm holding onto it for fall/winter because I don't believe for a second Nintendo's gonna release Mario 64, Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy all together in one too-good-to-be-true package

Aight, gonna exclude Psycho's dupe votes and include votes for the second list that got mentioned in-thread but weren't actually voted on. Center + OSF 4 Ikaruga (1 Mention, Birdy also said "or Puzzle Bobble" but this one's closer) 2 Daytona USA 2 Ogre Battle 64 4 Contra Anniversary 3 Streets of Rage 2 3 Gunstar Heroes (2 Mentions) 2 Comix Zone 2 Virtua Fighter 2 (1 Mention) 1 Doom 64 1 Golden Axe (1 Mention) Contra's got the tiebreaker right now because it'll let me get one more gaemu (probs give that tiebreaker to SoR2 because it was actually voted on in polls), 24 hours remain

I plan on playing them all at some point or another, this is more of an "inject your personal tastes into the last purchase this gift card can make" deal. It can only buy one from the first list or two from the second list, so whichever everyone likes best is whatever I'll play next when the Switch isn't available (after Detroit)

Should I count double dips and/or verbal support (which is weird because all the verbal support is mostly for the second list which you can pick more than one thing on) (Also tie-breakers will go to the second list because that's more games) ?

Combined with the Center vote so far, Contra Anniversary is winning and then a bunch of others have 2

Five minutes into Detroit and the game's already got me hard

Ohoooo, finally some corroboration on the Jay Lethal one.

God of High School had me at using a Stone Cold Stunner in a kung-fu battle royale

I think I've played the NES Contra game on emulator for like 10 minutes before shutting it off because I died too much, but I was only counting games that I've either beaten or played pretty extensively as "played before" I think I played Golden Axe a little bit for a trophy in the Xbox 360 Genesis collection, but I never owned a Genesis so I never played it all that much

NOOOOO ENNIO MORRICONE RIP ;_;

The Japanese language Galar Farfetch'd (fighting type) in Pokemon 2019 sounds like it's saying "Come On" in English every time it speaks

Season 1 of Fire Force was pretty cool. The pyrokinesis and how it's applied can be awesome as fuck (especially one specific battle later in the season), the animation also gets pretty good, the style goes out of its way to present as different, it can be deliciously lewd, the characters are likeable. I would say the weak point is that the plot is pretty generic shonen, so if the style doesn't grab you, there's no point in going on with it.

And Super Hxeroes

Definitely gonna keep up with The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Felt like Fire Force's Season 2 first ep was a throwaway just to get people back in the swing of things, but it was also still enjoyable as fuck

Trophies were a little challenge-heavy (the bane of my Infamous 1 Platinum existence) but the challenges also weren't too bad. I liked how Fetch could temporarily take over some enemies. I can see why people thought this was better than Second Son, it was hard to go back to Delsin (I tried for extra points in the challenge mode), and it felt like it was just getting going when it ended. I'm impressed that Sucker Punch figured out how to make a Flash game and kinda sad they never will because they're working with Marvel now (I will get to Spider-Man eventually and I assume it'll be great).

I definitely appreciated it more this time, I liked Delsin and Reggie both representing the opposite side of the old "X-Men" argument, I used the other powersets more than I did the first time, actually 100%ed it again even though I didn't really need to. It's a nice, fun easy game. Badass evil ending too

A few songs or albums you've been listening to lately. I'm not gonna post any links but: 1) I listened to NBA Young Bay's last album and part of his last mixtape. It's weird because it's the same song and the same sound to me every single time, but his delivery (especially when he's angry) is really raw so I also like it. I don't think I've outright loved a single song of his but I can easily listen to any of his music at the same time. 2) A Boogie's deluxe version of Artist 2.0 came out and half the songs are better than a lot of what was on the album in the first place (no, not the cumstain song). I guess it's a thing in hip-hop now to juice the numbers by releasing a deluxe not long after (I think one guy did it a few days later to finesse the numbers and get him a #1). I really needa listen to more of it but haven't been on it lately

What you're playing, why you're playing it and any goals you have playing it Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive. 62ish hours now, about to enter Valak Mountain, I think Chapter 10 or 11ish. Peak Metal Face just happened. I don't remember too much of what happens beyond this point. Fire Emblem Awakening: I've beaten the main missions and every in-game and spotpass paralogue except for three, two mutant kid recuitments and then the "50 Enemies and a Great Lord Descendant" mission. I'm gonna mate the last few characters to create the mutant kids, beat all the spotpass challenges with characters from previous games, and level up 30ish units so I can bring them into that last paralogue battle. After that it'll just be "getting every Support conversation." Infamous Second Son: Popped the two stunt trophies I had left (beating an enemy after having used all three powersets on him, and dashing through two vents and comet dropping on an enemy), just have to beat the game on Expert while playing Evil to get the Platinum. Been awhile since I played it, but it's still fun and easy to play. There's something I love about that Assassin's Creed style gameplay, liberating districts and doing mini-missions on a medium sized sandbox maps. I recognize it's 7/10 structure but I play it like it's 10/10 structure

Dorohedoro was great. Ultra-violent slice-of-life, funny as shit, interesting mystery, p. funny Doom parody in the second outro

They replayed the Boneyard in full on SDL this week to cover for the lack of content because "Oops we infected our roster", so we had The Good Brothers on TV weeks after they'd been fired Not the original one, but reddit's been going Garfield Minus Garfield with Adam Cole matches, clipping out his opponents and making it look like he's wrestling himself and/or having a nervous breakdown by himself in the ring

@Garlic Junior The New Beginning vs Kenta (Double Title) We were on the cusp of a Hiromu vs Naito non title challenge between the Heavy and Jr Heavy Champions but that's when covid cancelled the universe. The currently ongoing New Japan Cup is to set up a double title match at Dominion on July 12th

The fucking ending of Yano vs Hiromu

There's a thread on reddit with video of David Starr asking a girl to bring friends etc and the first comment is people parodying his entrance. "Your favorite predator's favorite predator." "He's REALLY gross on twitter" "The Bill Cosby of Professional Wrestling" "The 104 Allegations Man" God dammit
