I've watched her trilogy of videos reviewing the Hobbit movies and trip to New Zealand about a dozen times since they came out. Probably one of the best internet reviews, up there with RLM's Phantom Menace video.

Congrats to gmom! Mario Party with my sis is something I miss doing. My mom's game of preference is Fortune Street.

I still really enjoy Civil War the most.

I don't know why, but lots of times when I see Tales of, my first thought is Exzodia.

Just Final Fantasy X.

Hope I gave it a 10!

I have no idea what games I've already rated, unfortunately.

Nominate Starcraft & Starcraft: Brood War
Nominate Fallout: New Vegas

I remember Kingpin in the weight yard of, I think, DD S2 (when Jon Bernthal upends his trial and goes to prison) and I can imagine Kingpin ripping off a car door.

I need Disney+, I need to watch Hawkeye

Right! I wish I could do nails like that

I never got the impression Dafoe's Green Goblin was underrated, although that could be solely due to hearing so much hype for Spider-Man 1 & 2.

People don't like the power rangers mask.

Which... look at Dafoe in this movie. Fuck that mask.

Also, the fact that we only got the two Spider-Men. The fun thing about Spider-Verse was that all the Spider-People were so different from each other, whereas the three Peters were so similar that, once the initial excitement of seeing them all together wore off, it got a bit tepid. Would have been cool for some more to show up, even if just during the finale before Strange cast the new spell.

I'm very happy it just stuck to the movies we've had. It didn't need to be anything more than that for this movie, especially BECAUSE Spider-Verse exists. There's another Spider-Verse on the way and I wouldn't want to take anything away from that franchise by doing something even more similar here. Let Spider-Verse be experimental and go through the comics' catalogue and ideascape for things to do; let No Way Home enjoy taking twenty years' worth of movies and letting them wrap things up and enjoy waaaay more story and moments than I'd ever anticipated going in.

Edit: If the MCU does want to go forward with this, though, I'd rather see it in Doctor Strange or more What If.

Edit Edit: One of the biggest problems with the Clone Wars was how it just kept adding more and more and more diluting what the original identity crisis was more about, just adding things because they could and it was cool.

Like... I think this might be my favorite Spider-Man movie and one of my favorite MCU movies.

There is a toooonnn in here to like, and it also brings out some of the best parts of the Raimi/Garfield movies without having to deal with a lot of the stuff that hasn't aged well at all. Willem Dafoe is at the absolute peak, doing Green Goblin stronger and scarier than his original outing somehow. There's no Topher Grace, no montage of Peter Parker celebrating his powers being gone, no James Franco ham, no Kirsten Dunst, the cameos were MCU related and not hosts from The Soup.

Also, also, also... I loved that Happy Hogan was in the scene with Matt Murdock, and that he needs a really good lawyer. I really really hope there's a short made with Jon Favreau and Elden Henson just for the sheer silliness of Foggy Nelson representing Foggy Nelson.

I loved it. There was so much to love that I loved so much of it. I had only minor quibbles that my brain is focusing on for some dumb reason (Alfred Molina's ever-changing wig, Lizard and Sandman felt very ancillary but that's also fair as their characters felt ancillary, Ned doing magic and opening portals reminded me of The Flash's Cisco going from tech best friend to best friend who also has latent portal powers, not getting Spider-Man 2's landlord for an insane final cameo), but like... there's 99% more things my brain just got sheer joy from that it's all... it's all just a giant tornado of moments I can't latch onto long without jumping to something else I loved.

Favorite sweetest moments OTTOMH:

• Andrew Garfield saving MJ
• "The power of the sun... in the palm of my hand." Just... ugh, with Happy Hogan at the end, too, it's insane that with all the Spider-Man history in here, like, how crazy different a universe this is because of Stark and his arc reactor. And fixing the chip and bringing back Otto? Loved.
• Pretty much everything with the three Peters, especially talking about Uncle Ben.

Favorite hardest moments OTTOMH:

• Giving us, the audience,an Uncle Ben moment. Like, that's the first time ever we had an attachment to one of the most important people in Peter's life and can feel that rawness more than a guy set up to introduce the mantra and pass away in the first thirty minutes.
• The heaviness of that Spider-Sense before Dafoe's turn. We knew things would go to shit soon, but just the way that was portrayed and all that followed... oh man.
• The freaking bandage. Such a small thing, but so important to Peter.
• The backstab.
• Did I mention Garfield saving MJ?

Favorite funniest moments:

• Pretty much everything with the three Peters, especially how Peter shot web
• Sandman and Electro comparing notes
• Spider-Man overriding Doc Ock's arms the first time
• Pretty much anytime the villains interacted in the cells

Favorite nostalgia/fanservice moments:

• Lizard and Spider-Man fighting in the lab after going through the portal felt quickly reminiscent of the Stan Lee Amazing Spider-Man cameo, just enough of a familiarity without a direct homage.
• Just the cast itself, Molina/Dafoe/Garfield/McGuire kiiiilled it. That goblin laugh.
• C'mon. I don't care that it was a simple cameo. CHARLIE COX

Two silly things of note while they're on my mind:

1. Doctor Strange never asks to be called doctor for good reason (unlike Osborn and Octavius): he is still a shitty-ass arrogant doctor. This whole thing could've been avoided if he told Spider-Man the risks and potential side-effects of the procedure before he started a live operation on his patient.
2. Flash Thompson helped MJ and Ned get into MIT, and Spider-Man didn't even come swing him to school for two weeks or call him his best friend. After seeing his terrible blonde hair, I wouldn't be surprised if Venom Flash Thompson became a thing... especially with the jokes about Peter's best friend trying to kill him and dying in his arms...

Yeah, Bacon lifted the restrictions on the contest board existing without a contest going on!

Morning, friends! In this holiday season full of remembering past times, traditions, families, and gifts, I felt like making a conversation topic to just chat about games you've been nostalgic for recently or that come to mind to share with others or search out others who may have played some obscure titles.

While I initially got to making this topic thinking about older shareware titles, like Gladiator and Exile; or defunct browser games, like Dragon Court and Marvel Avengers Alliance, writing the intro got me super nostalgic for the earliest Christmas video game memories I have.

When I was six or seven, I unwrapped the big box housing the gray and purple Super NES. The colors were incredibly new and vibrant compared to the drab grays of the NES and Game Boy, and the controller... going from the two-button rectangle to the smooth and rounded light and dark purple four button, SHOULDER buttons, controller was mind-blowing in simple design change.

The games were great, too, with Super Mario World, Illusion of Gaia, and two others I can no longer determine (ALttP? DKC? Mario Paint? Something I returned to Funcoland and have no memory of?). Illusion of Gaia gets my full nostalgia. The boxart was different than anything I'd seen, the gameplay was frenetic, the music stellar, simple animations like wind ruffling through hair or clothes rippling from jumping off a ledge... the game has had a larger hold on me for almost three decades and moreso than any NES game I played before or since.

The nostalgia's been so much from this game lately that I've even considered DMing my first ever D&D campaign for my friends homebrewing something with this world. Not from the perspective of Will and his friends, mind you, but on the outskirts of their journey like Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Must Die. There are more than enough happenings just outside of Will's journey yet informing it (you can't leave the town in the beginning of the game because demons have been sighted; the king has hired an assassin to trail the hero; Riverson; and even more ways the coming end of the world affects those around), and there's plenty of extra room (and illegible notations in certain places) to develop more dungeons, towns, and areas for the players to venture and stray from an established point-to-point journey. Hell, why not just hop a ship and go to Freejia right off? You've got a princess kidnapped by a dark paladin, a missing flute-playing child popping up in unexpected places, tons of lore about the comet and the history of global-changing events, rumors of great lost ruins and the Tower of Babel... Illusion of Gaia is just such a good setting.

Just checking in with Board 8 friends, to chill and remember, with maybe months or years worth of posting at length
