I've noticed that he will encounter the same issue in different games, ding some of them for having it but not others. Mario 2 was interesting.

Dr Mario

Sometimes he confuses me lol

First he said it was released late in the NES cycle in 1990. I don't know why he keeps saying 1990 is late as most NES games were released in the 90s lol. There are two puzzle games that were pushed at the end of the NES but Dr. Mario isn't one like he claims.

Then he said "If they made a sequel". It did get a sequel. A couple actually! And they did have other modes. He should know that lol

Lets also talk about Pin-Bot getting done dirty!
It seemed that he was kind of harsh on a few of the games this week TBH

I sometimes try these games and I thought Kid Klown in Night Mayor World was actually kind of a decent game. Certainly not 72 spots lower then Rockin' Kats, that's for sure. (45 v 118)

this sort of outside context just isnt the sort of thing that factors into his rankings
I get that, just found it weird that he talked about the grandmaster tetris being the ultimate form and how people go crazy with it, the vr tetris being super cool, the multiplayer tetris having layers to the games not like single player. But didn't talk about how the game he is playing had that kind of history too.

I think he did the game that has consistently found new way of play and only has very recently been beaten/kill screened, kinda dirty. I get his angle on it though, but still seems a bit low.

Also kinda weird that he didn't talk about any of that stuff. Just said that "It's been on the news"

Eff it, I am including

GANBARE NEO POKE-KUN (Switch) - Some time in the Summer

I played this for probably 20-30 hours. It was an endless grind. I was at the final form of the final boss on the final mini game of the entire game. This involves mashing a single button as fast as you can. I barely made it this far without cheating by rewinding a whole lot. I was on this boss for hours and hours. Screw this thing. I can't mash that fast.

I beat this game darn it, everything else was unlocked and. Blah.

The rest of the game had fun little mini games along side of a kinda virtual pet landscape where he really just does funny things. You gotta keep him happy to get him to 'build' new games. They unlock slowly. If he gets sad, nothing ever progresses.

If the switch version did not have rewind, I am officially declaring that this game is impossible to beat for about many different reasons. Keeping him happy is RANDOM. Things do random stuff and change his mood. Also several games are nearly impossible without rewind cheating. It's fun but kinda terrible lol. It would take 100's of hours and maybe years off your life if you were to beat it on an actual Neo Geo Pocket.

Him putting Cobra Triangle ahead of Temco Bowl kinda made my blood pressure rise lol
I can't in my head rationalize that.

Also, he never saw the rest of Kid Icarus. That game drastically changes into a dungeon crawler, a side scroller, and a horizontal shump. Wonder how he would rank it if he knew.

Eff this awesomely terrible game.

2469 Hours Played since the last week of December in 2015

I made my goal, I beat the game. Nobody can make me think otherwise.
I am quitting now. The never-ending grind at least.
I ain't making it to whatever the next reward level is. GC2 is probably achievable but screw that. Said I would like 2 years ago "Once I make GC, I am done"

Heck yeah baby!!!!!

After being so close so many times. (Heck even this time lol ... Last day of the season and all)

but good lord it is depressing just how inevitable it was that penn state would win every game but lose to ohio state and michigan

Here are some fun facts about PSU over the last 2 years.

  • PPG v Not Michigan // Ohio - 40.4 (19 games)
  • PPG v Michigan // Ohio - 18.7 (4 games)
  • The 18.75 is skewed by one game where we put up 31 last year but still lost by 13.
  • Outside of Michigan or Ohio only one team held us to under 30 points, that was Northwestern last year (17). Still won by 2 scores.
  • 18 of the 19 games have been won by more then 8 points. (16 over 2 TD, 13 over 3)
  • The last time PSU finished a game scoring in the 20-29 point range was in 2021.
It's literally all blowouts or insufferable games lol.

Penn State will never win an important game as long as James Franklin is the coach

I said this back in 2015 but nobody wanted to listen lol
Then he went and beat Ohio State the following year with a stacked offensive team (With some luck thrown in)....and I kinda then knew we would be in it for the long haul.

These days, it's either a blowout win or lose to Michigan and Ohio State. Nothing in between (Outside of the bowl game). It's comical I almost don't want to watch the games because you just know what will happen.
