It's gotta take a hell of a lot of man hours to make a game where the voice acting isn't repetitive after you play it for that much time.

Do I need to play BL1 and how long is BL2's single player?

I wonder if you got to the point where they had to re-play it like 27 times on AVGN to finally beat it. I remember bats being involved. 

It's up there for sure. I was definitely one who hated those first screenshots, cause I expected more realistic visuals and thought the art style just looked goofy. I changed my mind when the actual game came out and blew me away by looking like a well-done, playable Disney film.

Ironically, I remember becoming obsessed with cel-shaded graphics and looking into or renting anything I could find with a similar art style, cause I thought it looked so cool in games like XII, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, etc. Those games were distinctly different stylistically from each other, but that was part of why I liked cel-shading so much at the time: it would really bring out the personality of a game. 

This opening sounds familiar ... as does the close ... hope Patrick's ok!

I didn't realize what a hassle rafflin' could be. 

So you don't keep Game Pass games for as long as you have Game Pass, a la PS+? I didn't realize there was that much of a difference between these services. 

You going back to Borderlands 2 reminds me I should go back to my Yakuza games I haven't fully beaten (meaning haven't finished all stories; not sure I care to get the Platinums) before Judgment releases. 

It's good to have a game or franchise that's just super reliable. Sounds like both series are humorous as well, which goes a long way. I still need to start playing my Handsom Collection again. 

I seriously thought that link went to the main page of their gaming section that was just the latest joke headlines, cause that's where I ended up somehow. lol Shows how much I pay attention. 

I'll have to listen to the podcast later, but I have thoughts on viewing/reading/listening to things more than once ... in that I get where Kubrick is coming from and mostly agree, but rarely re-visit art I've finished in favor of having more new experiences. 

I wish I could have played Red Dead Redemption 2, but the GameFly discs I got stopped downloading in the middle of the "Play" disc. I deleted a bunch of stuff, turned my system off and back on a good couple times, and nothing. 

Arkham City is still my least favorite of the Arkham games. Yup. I know. I'm an outlier. lol

We had Tetris on Game Boy, but I always lost and got confused when I was real little, cause I thought the point was to stack the blocks! lol 

As an adult, I play Free Tetris online all the time, and it actually comes in handy to get my brain working, to calm me down, etc. Miracle game as far as I am concerned! Not surprised you consider it such a great gift.

The startup GameBoy screen in the video takes me back, as does the music and just everything about the presentation.
