which made me think, actually, do they even use the Donkey Kong franchise any more since Nintendo and Rare split up?

...really? You serious?

yes and no

the only games I can think of since then have been handheld or that bongo game

There's the Donkey Kong Country Returns series, which has been pretty well received.

Pannenkoek's videos are actually really neat

What the fuck is this shit? Why does a video on blinking in video game characters have hundreds of thousands of views?

Because this is pannenkoek, the guy who was responsible for this other video that gave birth to the parallel universe meme.



Plus just the absurdity of watching an 8 minute video about the mechanics of blinking in a video game is part of the draw I imagine.

Almost all of his videos are very interesting and give a good deal of insight into how Super Mario 64 works.

Fun fact: Despite all the hype about how much of a badass you are, literally anyone in the game can kill a dragon. I think the townspeople fights are more entertaining than fighting the dragon directly.

I always liked getting them involved in battles out in the wild with Mammoths and Giants and the occasional random wolf or something.

For a while I thought EA was a little better than what they once were. But they haven't done anything with the Star Wars license. There's no excuse for that. Battlefront 2 actually seems like an okay game too, but it has all the garbage weighing it down.

This past year I've been attempting to complete every Halo campaign on Legendary. I started with Halo 5 and sort of worked backwards. Now all I have left is Halo: CE.

Halo 2 I completed on Legendary with my friend earlier last year and it was brutal. This time I was extremely surprised because all the parts we had major issues with weren't too bad despite now being alone. I fully expected to die 50 or so times at the beginning of Gravemind because that's what happened to us in our co-op playthrough. But nope, it was less than five deaths just doing it solo.

I'd still definitely rank Halo 2 as the hardest campaign just because of all its bullshit. It just somehow ended up being a lot easier than I was expecting.

That's because they're still in the middle of doing shit for Halo 5 and MCC. I don't really know if Halo 6 will be any more popular than Halo 5 is though.

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

This. I think because it was my first Sonic game I just look at as the Sonic game. All the memes and bad voice acting feel like staple parts of the series because of SA2.

I feel like some of the stuff in the Appendices could be interesting if expanded upon. Like the entire history of Gondor in the Third Age was pretty neat in my opinion.

Never read the books and wasn't a huge fan of the movies because they were just kind of bland IMO. I think like most books, a TV show would be much better. I don't know why everyone is talking shit. I thought the fans of the books hated the movies?

Nah I think most fans of the books still do like the films. I just read the books for the first time recently and also rewatched the movies these past couple days. The books are obviously better, but the movies are still great. Particularly for the battle scenes. Helm's Deep was not the most interesting battle in the books.

I don't see how a TV series can top the movies.

I mean they could make the show more true to the books. But yes, it will still be hard to capture the feel of the films.

It has to be Keese Id imagine, specifically the regular variety since the fire/ice/electric ones have the benefit of being able to burn/freeze/shock you.

Yeah I thought Keese as well, but they're so common and annoying that players have probably died to them more than most enemies despite how little damage they actually deal.

wave dashing was never intended to be part of the game. melee players are just taking advantage of glitches.

2000 election

I was going to say 9/11, but this one is probably it. Definitely remember that even if I didn't really fully grasp what was happening at the time.

9/11 on the other hand is a day I vividly remember, considering I had a direct view of the Manhattan skyline from my classroom.

The problem with the Regret fight is that your only means of hurting him is very slow and leaves you very exposed. Plus it comes at the end of an already difficult level. I imagine it's even more difficult to do alone.

The beginning of Gravemind is definitely the toughest spot in the game though just because you're given pretty much nothing to work with in terms of weapons. Even when the Brutes with Carbines show up, you actually have to find a way to pick up the weapon without getting melted.

Well they couldn't give the role to Mario because they wouldn't want him to have to talk. So who else could they have used?

Toad or Daisy would've worked I think >_>

Yeah Toad would be the perfect choice, but then his presence might have conflicted with Captain Toad and the Toad Brigade.

And Daisy will forever be stuck in the same rut that Waluigi is in.

I think it's fair aside from the Jackal snipers, the Regret fight, and the beginning of Gravemind. Maybe I'll change my mind when I go through it solo. Co-op was already very difficult.

But we just got Breath of the Wild, which is open world done right. The genre still has plenty of juice. And it's much better than shooters that dominated last gen.

There are many people who think Breath of the Wild is just as bad as every other open world game these days.

Most of them hate Nintendo on principle though

I don't know about that. There are even tons of Zelda fans that just dislike the game just because it's so different.

I watched General Hospital for about a year not too long ago. I understand why it's so appealing. It's a stupid show, but it's pretty entertaining. Still, there are 5 episodes a week, and new storylines keep getting pumped out. So I eventually lost interest.
