I've defeated Psycho Mantis and completed the first Sniper Wolf boss fight.

This section contained the first serious amount of backtracking in the game. It's still a bit tedious, but not as bad as I remembered. A silver lining of it is that it gives me plenty of time to restock on rations and other items.

The controls are still the main problem with this game. Sometimes when sneaking up on enemies to choke them out, the game alerts the guard without giving you a chance. Also, the aiming controls, especially the first person aiming in the Sniper Wolf boss fight are horrible.

The voice acting and general story telling is pretty great, though. This is as enjoyable to replay as ever.

The gen 1 pokemon games. The people who made them had little to no game design experience and so the mechanics are held together with duct tape and prayers, and a ton of things straight up do not work as intended.

It is a literal miracle that Pokemon has become the most successful media franchise in world history. The quality of the games has always been very questionable, although the GBA era was reasonably decent. I don't think there's a wider example of something that was such a great idea that was done so poorly and yet still was so successful as Pokemon.

From the absolutely broken mechanics of the first generation, combined with the missing content and extremely poor level progression of the second generation, along with the tedious map designs of the third and fourth generations, as well as the complete refusal to embrace decent online functionality in the fourth and fifth generations, and lastly the low development effort and gimmicky gameplay options of every generation since the sixth generation, Pokemon as a game franchise has been run in such a careless way (while still very much holding its appeal with its target audience).

I've just defeated the third boss, Grey Fox. It's really nice how fast paced the game is, it never seems to get dull. I know that the next boss has always caused me trouble, we'll see if that happens this time.

The throwback references to Metal Gear 1 and 2 are interesting, given that very few people ever played them when this came out. I get that Hideo Kojima was continuing a story he already established, but it's just funny how Metal Gear Solid is considered by almost everyone to be the first real installment in the series. The Zelda series is obviously not even close to being as plot driven, so it was rare for even a subtle reference to be made to previous series, never mind expanding on direct events from previous entries.

One thing that does have me confused is the repeated use of the phrase "currently existing technology". I've never known what they're even talking about with that phrase, and searching it online shows I'm not alone. The best explanation is that it's a poorly worded translation for "civilian market technology", rather than advanced tech not available on the market.

I'm not sure I'll play the VR missions, I'll probably just head straight through each game.

I don't think I've ever done a Foxhound run either, but I did do everything needed to get a Platinum trophy for MGS3 back in 2011.

I've just defeated the first boss of MGS1. So far, I'm very impressed with the quality of the voice acting and the very cinematic characteristics of the cutscenes. None of the other MGS games leaned into being as movie-like as this one did.

The concept that Solid Snake is being purposely misled by his superiors is made a lot more obvious than I remembered. I always thought it was a huge revelation, but this time it's so clear that it's hard to see it as a spoiler at all.

The graphics leave a lot to be desired. I get that this is a hardware complaint more than anything, the fact Sony was able to make a console capable of 3D gaming in like 1995 is actually a big accomplishment, but PS1 games are really tough to look back on, even more so than N64 games (which the N64 was clearly the console with far better graphics). Still, character models are good enough, as are their animations. Also, the Switch version looks a bit better than I remember the PS3 digital version looking.

Aiming is a huge pain. The first boss fight feels a big silly when you can't even see where you're aiming. Again, an issue with the hardware more than anything. I'm kind of glad I'm not playing them in timeline order, since this would be really tough to play right after enjoying the great controls of MGSV.

That's why I opted for the gamecube version of TP. I knew I wasn't getting a Wii anytime soon.

The gamecube version didn't come out until almost a month after the Wii version too...

I got that version many years later. Made me laugh because it's clearly better than the Wii version. I should have just done that and got a Wii later in 2007.

I preordered my Wii (with a money deposit) and arrived at the store less than 10 minutes after they opened on launch day, and they sold my preorder to someone else anyway. I've never preordered anything ever since.

I ended up getting one over a month later right after New Years by waiting outside an EB Games in -15 weather for 3 hours. All this just to get Twilight Princess on the Wii.

Anyway there doesnt seem to be any reason beyond she just wants to slow down. Asking her why just makes her say its all happening too fast, and pushing the subject just makes her cry.

This is going to sound harsh TC, but there really are only a few likely explanations for this.

The most likely is that she has someone else in mind and she is hoping they're going to choose her. She doesn't want to lock you down when she has one or more other options she's not done entertaining.

Another possibility is that you've perceived this relationship as being more than it really is. It even sounds like she lives in a different city than you. You refer to her as your girlfriend, but did you ever have that exclusivity talk? It's possible she saw you just as a fling and is upset that you've caught heavier feelings than she expected you to.

People (men and women) that actually like you will make it very easy for you to spend time with them and become closer. I think this is completely over, sorry man.

Starting fresh tonight, lads.

My PS3 has unfortunately stopped working, so I'm only currently able to play the Metal Gear Solid games available on modern systems. I wanted to play them in timeline order, but the broken PS3 has stopped that plan. I've purchased the Master Collection Volume 1 for Switch, which will let me play MGS 1, 2, and 3. I have Twin Snakes on GameCube, but I think I'd rather play the original MGS instead.

I'll stop with those three games for now. The only two main MGS games unavailable to me are MGS4 and Peace Walker. I have MGSV on my PS4, but I won't skip those other two games just to get there. I'm hoping they announce Master Collection Volume 2 at the Tokyo Game Show later this month...but I doubt they will.

It's been years since I've played this series, so here we go.

needing to include mgs4 is specifically the reason it'll never come out

Yeah, I can imagine that'll be a very tough game for them to port.

I just ordered the Master Collection for Switch (it was only $30 on Amazon compared to $80 on the eShop). I've also ordered a new micro SD card for my Switch since the 128GB one I have used since launch is nearly full, and I know that despite this being a physical copy it still requires over 30GB of space. That's extremely frustrating.

This will take a week to arrive, so maybe I'll revise my plans to replay the series. I guess I could skip Peace Walker and MGS4 for now. Here's to hoping we get a Master Collection Volume 2 sometime soon (and that they launch it for Switch, can't see why they wouldn't).

Well, I went to start MGS3 this evening, and found out that my old PS3 is toast. I'm not sure what the exact issue is, but I'm getting a blinking red light. Hmm.

I'll put my plan to go through the MGS series on pause. I could get the Master Collection for Switch, but the second game in the series is Peace Walker, which isn't available on Switch.

At this time, the only Metal Gear games available for me to play are MGS1 Twin Snakes and MGSV (both Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain). I'll come back to this plan another time.

I'm not sure why they're taking so long to release Master Collection Volume 2, which at very least should contain Peace Walker and MGS4.

That would probably be fun. I've only played the third one and watched the first and second.

The third one is possibly my favourite, it's a toss up between it and MGSV. The third one absolutely has the best story. I'd love to play the remake but I have no interest in getting a PS5.

I played some Skyrim yesterday. I finished the Dawnguard quest, and amazingly the Civil War quest is now no longer bugged. The College of Winterhold quest is still completely broken though.

I think I've decided to play the Metal Gear Solid series through. It's been YEARS since I've played through any of them.

To change it up from this Zelda playthrough, I'd play them in chronological timeline order. I wouldn't bother with the old original Metal Gear MSX games, nor would I play the questionable Ghost Babel on GBC or Portable Ops on PSP, which both aren't considered canon.

That only leaves six entries. MGSV is the only one that would take a long time, although there's a single cutscene in MGS4 that lasts nearly an hour and a half (still a world record I'm pretty sure).

It's officially out later this week, but there's a lot of full video walkthroughs already on YouTube.

I won't be getting it since I don't have a current gen console but I'm a huge fan of the original so I've been interested in seeing how much of an improvement the remake is. It seems like the graphics and controls have been updated to match MGSV, but aside from that it looks like perhaps the most faithful remake I've ever seen. It's clearly not just an enhanced port like the 3DS version but they've done an incredible job of matching the original game, cheesiness and all.

I've watched a fair bit of gameplay from it and I can't understand how anyone could possibly think the new graphics are bad, never mind worse than the original.

If there's anything to clown on, it's that they might have been TOO faithful to the original, there are a few very awkward animations in some cutscenes that they redid pretty much one to one.

I upgraded my C drive a few months ago. It was only a 128GB SSD and Windows refused to do updates anymore because there wasn't enough space despite the C drive almost exclusively being used for operating system.

There's great tutorials on YouTube on how to clone your C drive to a new SSD. I cloned my old C drive to a new 1TB SSD. The whole thing took like 30 minutes and wasn't too expensive.

Today's kicked my ass, ended a 14 day streak.

The double nature of the word "entrance" was mean and absolutely not worthy of putting it as the supposed easy yellow category. I thought I had the "captivate" category figured out but I abandoned it after "struck" didn't work. My last guess was charm, board, struck, and rivet, thinking he category maybe was "words that sound like both an object and an emotion".

A Link Between Worlds is a high tier Zelda game and is unquestionably the best original 3DS game. Ocarina of Time 3D is also outstanding of course, but it hardly was more than an enhanced port of the original. Majora's Mask 3D made several incredibly bad and unnecessary choices that make it absolutely worse than the N64 version.

Apart from that, there weren't really any 3DS games that have remained solid for me. Animal Crossing New Leaf was excellent but New Horizons on Switch is thoroughly better. Smash 4 on 3DS was better than the Wii U version for me (I think the accessibility of the online is what made the difference) but SSBU on Switch also absolutely mops the floor with it (although its online is pretty bad).

The Pokemon main series games were mediocre and began the start of the downfall of that series, but they are what they are. There's a ton of JRPGs on that system which really aren't my thing, but somebody that likes those kinds of games would probably have a lot to suggest.

I always liked Moosh but all three really weren't that useful.

I put my number on the national do not call registry. Give it a couple months and then there's a feature on their website to report unsolicited calls.

I remember seeing on the news years ago that the Canadian one ended up being counterproductive because the numbers on the list were somehow made available and overseas scammers purposely called those numbers.

I figured out the yellow and green categories within the first 30 seconds, but I didn't consider in the green category that swimming pools have lanes and Brooklyn bridge apparently doesn't. I've also never heard of bowling green.

It's really weird how a game as extremely popular as Skyrim with such a long time spent being relevant and having a community that has documented known bugs with mainline story quests so thoroughly hasn't been more fully patched by Bethesda.

I feel like many game development companies have a weird public facade of professionalism and yet even just slightly under the surface they are borderline dysfunctional. It's like a real world version of The Krusty the Clown Show.

I feel like there's a reasonable middle ground between a mini, designed for literally anyone to be able to consume, and a large, designed for a family of four.
