by the way, how is Layton vs. Ace Attorney? is that worthwhile?

Above average Layton game, below average Ace Attorney game (but definitely better than AJ)
---

I enjoyed it. It's got one case that I'd rank highly on a case list, and the others are at least enjoyable.

It also has a really good OST! I'd probably have AAI1, SoJ, and Layton/AA as my top three for the series in terms of soundtracks.
---

whew good thing I turned down that Lynch trade because it looks like he's going to miss an extended period of time and might get put on IR!
---

Started NG+ on FF Type-0. Also got the Platinum when I beat it the first time... which feels a bit weird considering there's still a lot of content on NG+ that is significant.

That Final Chapter sure was something! Awesome final dungeon battle theme though.

poor Tidus

poor Narukami

Joker is so boned

actually I do see a silver lining for Joker here

Victor Sullivan is listed as "Sully" on the front page voting so I think his chances of being listed as "Joker" are good
---

This Leon performance obviously means joker is DEAD
---

also my word it didn't take long for this contest to attract a couple of bottom tier users in the Stats Topics
---

some might say there have been bottom tier users in the stats topic all along
---

whens season 5 of the genius

Bad news: Donkey Kong is beating Tidus

Good news: PotD features the return of "game-fah-kwahs"

I'm calling this a net win for my GameFAQ's experience today.

that option had zero votes when I voted

(for Game F-A-Qs of course)
---

I am currently one out of four votes for that option.

(I actually pronounce it Game F-A-Q's, but game-fah-kwahs is too funny not to vote for it)
---

ok kleenex we'll just have to have our own version of the genius

everyone in this topic we need to meet up once a week to play thanks
---

what is the genius
---

I should have barged into tVN HQ while I was in Korea and demanded a new season.
---

Korean reality game show
---

Yikes it was already 28-0 by the time I got home from work

oh well at least we just scored whoo
---

well we played really hard in the second quarter and so we played Alabama to a stalemate

meaning it's now 42-14
---

aw yeah pick-six

still losing by 30
---

man it really doesn't feel like new matches are only an hour away

this new start time is still messing with me

Go Knux and go Noctis
---

a friggin' GLOVE

oh well yay Knuckles
---

This is my first bracket I've ever done and wow I suck at this.
---

I have Zidane, Noctis and Monika in my bracket today so lol me

At least I switched to the glove for the crew
---

I was never gonna pick Monika. I don't make bracket picks based on rallies, for better or for worse.

somehow going 2/4 might actually be better than most people do today
---

a goddamn glove keeping me from having a perfect day again (god how did i become so bad at contests)

told you all that knux would be fine

he's hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
---

yeah I wanted to bank on a Sonic Mania boost

but then that would undermine my Squall > Sonic pick so I was stuck at an impasse
---

I still remain unconvinced of this supposed sonic mania boost
---

well it's just one match so of course it's inconclusive

it's possible Square just sucks this year and/or it's just random variance since it's been so long since the last Character Battle

I'd like to BELIEVE in a Sonic Mania boost if it wouldn't kill my bracket though (Drake is so boned) because I still love Sonic.
---

Looks like I'll go 3/4, which is better than I did yesterday...
---

I'll take a sonic boost just for shadow > ness

too bad Shadow isn't in Sonic Mania so you gotta hope for the Sonic Forces DLC boost instead...!

(and of course this is the one Sonic Team character I picked to win LOL)
---

comedy option: shadow is stronger than ness right now, but Mother 3 gets announced tomorrow and ness boosts past him.
---

Earthbound doing well is never the comedy option

(Earthbound sucks)
---

I still haven't hit my first ending in Virtue's Last Reward. I've hit a few dead ends though! I'm doing what I did the first time, which is going down every path I can while choosing Ally every round, and then going back over them again but picking Betray instead.

I hate picking Betray because it just makes everyone mad at me, and I can't even stick it to Dio because he never picks Ally...! Man, I am not looking forward to betraying Luna, even if it does lead to the best ending, because it's gonna hurt.
---

LOL Ohio State

blown out by Purdue
---

Apparently all of my teams won today (Michigan, UVA, Cal)

Combine that with Ohio State and Duke losing, and it would be a very good day if I really cared about football all that much
---

Ohio State losing is always a good thing
---

well my team got blown out by the best team in college football today so all I've got is schadenfreude at other teams' expense
---

K riding the Zero Jr. ride is a top tier VLR moment

it's kind of a shame that K is a relatively rare puzzle room partner
---

speaking of K, first bad ending get!

he's not quite as sleazy as Dio but he's close sometimes!
---

AoT S3E9 beated

That was pretty anticlimactic for a boss fight! Kenny at the end though might step it up but I think it's a red herring. I don't think he'll actually titanize himself, it doesn't seem to fit with the goals and ideals he has alluded to so far. Although maybe he's gone full despair after finding out his plan to backstab Reiss was doomed to fail from the start and his team is dead now.

Hunter x Hunter 2011 Episode 116 (I think?)

I wouldn't mention this but damn, this was one of the most powerful episodes of any show I've seen. And it was all dialogue too. Goddamn I don't know what I expected whgen I first started watching this show way back when but tbqh even if I wasn't really, really loving it already this episode alone may have made the whole thing worthwhile. It was so intense and emotionally charged that as it ended and the tension that was building up in me from watching it started to release tears started coming out. Not like crying or sad tears or anything it was just that tense.

Incredible episode/anime. Can't wait to see where this goes. Like wow.
---

bleh, Gronk looking doubtful to play today, and waivers are completely devoid of any viable TE. guess Im probably just down a player this week
---

yeah Jared Cook is on bye this week so I just picked up O.J. Howard for the Bucs to plug in and play
---

the closer we got to the contest the more I felt like Knuckles had a good chance to win

augh why didn't I fanboy pick my bracket on the rare occasion it would've worked out
---

I knew in principle that Zidane/Knuckles could be close, but I just picked Zidane the first time I looked at it and then never really questioned the pick. Whoops.
---

Man, that's the third time this season Peterson has gone over 90 yards without breaking 100 overall.

Also, holy crap Pikachu

Pokefear is back
---

pokefear never left
