Djungelurban 01/01/21 10:24:52 AM #10:	I'll try to participate this year actually. Always thought about doing it but never did... Usually cause I had that thought in like July or something. This was my TV Tropes page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiscountLesbians Looking through the list I'm leaning towards either Iji or Mass Effect. Also, for favorite game... My favorite game is already selected as someone's favorite but I can see that every game is mentioned only once as someone's favorite. So should I select a different game as my favorite or should I just break the trend and mention a game someone's already mentioned? <cite>Djungelurban posted [p:948986183] in The Great ...

HBJDubs 01/07/21 4:29:22 PM #40:	9. Beat a remake or enhanced port Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. 100% run like the FFs I played last year. Out of all those games though, this is the one where I missed out on the most sidequests. Hell, there were a few that I never even knew existed until now. Never played Triple Triad back in the day, this time it was a huge part of my playthrough. With the three main PSX games, my rankings as a kid went IX > VII > VIII, but now I probably go VIII > VII > IX.
