I like the aesthetics and how fast the gameplay is. The bad voice acting and character looks sorta reminded me of older 3D Sanic games.

    (Yeah, I'm almost certain I'll try for GZ's 100% and TPP's Platinum when it comes down to it and I'm just talking out of my ass. Revengeance may not be do-able just because my reflexes aren't that good)

    Do you still buy games as much as you used to?

    >Do you buy as many new (or new-to-you) games as you used to? More? Less? I buy more games than I used to, but far less new games since I learned my lesson in 2010 with No More Heroes 2 on Wii. Bought that new, beat it by the next day, looked at No More Heroes 1, which I got out of the bargain bin for $20, and recognized which was better value. Mostly the only games I buy for full price are Nintendo's mainline games, because those never drop in price or it takes until the console's dying to get Selects out >Do you play games as much as you used to? Off and on. >Do you now buy more digital compared to in the past when it was more or all physical? Way more digital than I used to because the sales are better. I used to worry about servers shutting down and leaving me without the ability to redownload games I bought, but a) except for Nintendo we seem to be functioning okay with that and b) every game these days has some kind of Day 1 patch or download that goes along with it so buying physical doesn't guard against that anymore. I'll go out of my way to buy physical for games that there's enjoyment in owning, but otherwise the Wal-Mart bargain bin and digital sales are whoever-gets-to-me-first, and more of the digital sales are getting to me first these days >Do you stream games? (Did Google Stadia ever become a thing? I'm out of the loop ) No, and I worry about the world going this way, because our data caps in Canada won't be able to handle it. I have to specifically plan when to get patches and digital downloads, unless data compression gets significantly better and/or data caps raise (it has happened before, but they're gonna do it kicking and screaming), I'm out if games go full streaming

    1) One Piece - Pirate Warriors 3 1a) Journey 2) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD (Platinum) 3) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD (Platinum) 4) Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum) 5) Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD (Platinum) I popped the last 7 trophies just off of finishing one mission, that was fun. I still like the gameplay and set-up of Peace Walker more than all the other MGS games I've played so far (I fucking LOVE base building and mini-missions), but the grindiness of the game was wearing me down towards the end. There's way too many vehicle combat Side Ops (just over 40ish, not counting the main story, AI battles or Monster Hunter missions). Also this probably ended up being easier than it should've because I found a dude who needed the online trophies too and he helped me S-Rank the Monster Hunter Missions, AI Boss missions, and helped me beat the Tank level to acquire the Fulton Launcher while we were grinding those out. Never thought I'd have the skill/patience to Platinum the MGS games (acks not true, MGS3's Platinum is easy, I just never looked at it before I started playing it), proud of having these. I'm going to play Revengeance and TPP but I'm not sure I'm gonna end up trying to Platinum those ones. Revengeance seems more like a twitch action game and I'm not as good at those, and TPP seems more like a Far Cry game than a "true" MGS game, so I won't hold myself to the same standards that I started to with these four... probably

    Promos were a lot better on SDL and then again on Raw. Making eye contact with the camera, not having to awkwardly pause for crowd reactions, not getting "What"ed or random chants. I'm not sure if they're less scripted than normal or it's just the good promo guys talking but it feels like they are less scripted. Mebs just keep doing this

    Looks like they shut down Mania in Tampa, it'll be broadcast from the PC with essential personnel only God damn, this is going to be weird

    Arguably one of the most important for the next few years too, Xbox Series X was probably gonna do the full reveal there and then Sony was probably going to adjust their pricing and strategy depending on what they did. I assume we'll just be getting a lot of DIrects instead... and that would probably better <_<

    1) One Piece - Pirate Warriors 3 1a) Journey 2) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD (Platinum) 3) Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD (Platinum) 4) Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum) Technically I beat it 8 times. Seven of those times were just easy but grind-y. The one difficult playthrough was pretty tough to get from place-to-place in the map, and parts of the Bike Chase were rough, but none of the boss fights were unfair like in MGS2. The MGS4 Platinum is slightly rarer than the MGS2 one, but I would say the MGS2 one is harder. Also unlike MGS2, even though it was a grind, I didn't get the feeling of "Fuck, I kinda hate this" by the end of it. Things I Liked Things I Didn't Like So Much

    My sister was watching Smackdown and Dynamite from last week back to back and I figured out why I hate legends in WWE and like them in AEW. AEW: The legends are there to back up the guys of now and add to it. They're managers, talkers, posse-members, there to be an extra set of fists if and when shit goes down. Or they're guys like Jericho and Dustin, who can still go. WWE: The legends are there to remind you that WWE used to be good, the wrestlers there are to act like marks and mega-fans for them, and if they can still wrestle, they're mostly there to beat everyone despite being past their prime. Fuck

    General Things To Know: PSN Profiles Trophy Guide Playstation Trophies Collectibles Guide (including Flashbacks, one thing they don't mention, in Act 4 you can only collect one of Old LA 2040 or Policenauts End Title iPod tunes per playthrough, you have to get the other in another playthrough) Playstation Trophies Emblem Guide (useful for grinding out Emblems on your Chicken Run especially) Boss Extreme Non-Lethal Ammo Locations Vash12349's Naked Run on Boss Extreme with Commentary (sorta Speedrunny, really useful commentary) Jaguar King's Naked Speedrun on Boss Extreme with no saves A New Game+ Run on Boss Extreme (This is useful for slow-and-steady tactics, easier ways to take down bosses with New Game + equipment, and for when you find you just can't do frame-perfect speedrun bullshit) I didn't find this nearly as frustrating as MGS2's. The bosses that fucked me up mostly did so because I hadn't learned the patterns yet or I had made it through a previous encounter with shit damage, whereas some of MGS2's had One Hit Kills and you had to survive for 10ish minutes against them, really only the third part of the Bike Chase is that hard and that's only if you try to do it Naked. Every area felt like if I just figured out the trick, I'd eventually make it through and the checkpoints are generally forgiving (there's a few in Act 2 that are the worst, and one of the tailing areas). You do have to beat the game 8 times to get the Platinum (I'm on #3 right now), but after the Chicken Run and Boss Extreme run, it mostly just takes between two and three hours to beat
