Looney Tunes

These might end up being my final two noms, but I'm putting up Hob and Paradise Killer

KCF has beaten The Legend of Zelda

Having never used a randomizer before, it took some time to get everything right to begin. Then I quickly regretted the options I chose because choosing to shuffle bosses and dungeons meant I was essentially never able to enter a dungeon and finish it on my first try due to not having a necessary item or needing to have much higher defense.

I have beaten this game once or maybe even twice before, so maybe I couldn't fully appreciate what the randomizer offers. I should really do this for Link to the Past instead.

Animaniacs

KCF has beaten Sonic 3 + Knuckles

I have beaten this before, but it has probably been around 20 years. I'm not a fan of the series/franchise and am a little baffled that it has lasted and became as big as it died, but this is among the ones I look at in a favorable light, mostly due to its competition mode if I'm being honest.

It felt like I had a bit of an input delay, so I shelved trying to do all the bonus stages I came across after awhile. I still managed to nab four of the emeralds.

F-Zero X

Katamari
GTA

That's true. I guess that I interpreted the rereleases as meaning they would be remastered or remade and not simply ported in essentially their original form.

Max Payne is getting remakes soon!

I thought it was just the first two? I'm talking about all three, though I am guessing that due to different developers/right holders, the possibility of that is basically nonexistent.

Weird choices, lack of variety too.

My personal choices are Snowboard Kids and The Darkness. In terms of something that would have wider appeal, Max Payne, Peggle, and Fable come to mind.

I downloaded OFF and the LoZ randomizer, so we'll see when I get around to them.

I played some more of Sonic 3. I've been taking advantage of the rewind feature in the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics (luckily I bought this well before the Sonic games were delisted from it), so I have like 15 lives heading into Ice Cap Zone.

After all the hype I've heard about Xenoblade here for the past decade, I have found the first hour or so very underwhelming. Plenty of systems I don't care about, a battle system/structure that seems like an awkward amalgamation of FFXII, Dragon Age: Origins, and Tales of/Okami, and the "Definitive Edition" graphical update/overhaul only seems to extend to primary character models because everything else looks very rough.

I'm just going to eat lunch and dinner at Costco every day and spend $1.50 for a hotdog and a soda. $3 a day for 365 days is barely $1100 for the entire year.

This reminds me of a story I came across or was told about regarding someone who was saving up for something getting an all-encompassing annual pass to some theme park that included free meals and going there every day for lunch or dinner. It saved them quite a bit on food money apparently.

I will do my first two noms of the month in DEATHLOOP and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom

Sonic Origins is apparently not on iOS, or any mobile device, so I guess that is why they kept the individual games on it. Curious about Sonic 3 + Knuckles, but I looked into it, and I guess that the game's composer/co-composer did not want their work to be used, creating a legal situation forcing Sega to re-do all of the music.

Yeah, I think that I heard that all of the games contained in Origins were pulled from digital marketplaces, forcing you to buy Origins if you didn't already own it.

Sands of Time
Burnout

As much as I have been happy with the fruits of that trade, I'm still waiting for a playoff win for the first time since I was in elementary school.

I already started Sonic 3 last night, but I of course first began by doing time trials for all the multiplayer maps. I think that I am up to Hydrocity Zone Act 2.

I will finally begin Xenoblade today. Not doing so in October will hurt my chances of beating it this year, but maybe I still can.

I am strongly considering trying out a randomizer for Zelda. It's that or bust out my Gamecube or pay for a service I don't want in Nintendo Switch Online, assuming it is on their NES list.

Obra Dinn is the replay topic game, and I'm definitely doing that.

I figured Crispy would have mentioned the official English translation download site for OFF, but I guess not and if I feel like playing it after the other non-Xenoblade games, then I will search for it.
