1) Damn. In my defense, MC and Doom guy look similar. Still need to get 2016 Doom on PC. 

3) Wouldn'ta got that

6) Son of a bitch, I knew I recognized that character! That one I shoulda known ... even though I've yet to play a Silent Hill.

9) Not even familiar with that franchise/game, but I've heard of it

Yeah, Katamari looked like* it used the most original assets. What was painful about Doom reflection? I may* or may not* be able to help

*I taught this program, but not really for stuff like this (pretty much used it for photography or ad/mag cover designs), so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

Let me see if I can get this:

1) Halo

2)Katamari Damacy

3) Hmm ... who has a chainsaw? Friday the 13th? If you pick up a chainsaw?

4) Kingdom Hearts

5) Bloodborne

6) Alice in Wonderland? Shit, I recognize that character, but bunnies have me confused. I know it's not actually AiC ... but ... is it???

7) Mario of some variety

8) Horizon Zero Dawn

9) Nioh?

Katamari Damacy is my favorite, because it looks the most varied in terms of what's in it and I tend to like the lighter ones here. 

At least one thing in that article is a bit outdated, as PS Now actually does offer dowbloads now (FINALLY). And the article seems to be talking about NES, SNES, N64 era stuff, but when I said lots of ports were coming I meant from last gen; at least, I've seen lots of folks get excited for those. 

I don't disagree with the article, but I think we might be talking about different things. I'm not really sure, since I'm pretty ignorant of Nintendo these days. 

Should be out this Wednesday if on schedule. Hopefully the yakuza one has enough to get someone unfamiliar interested in the series or at least not bore them to death. I worry about that when it's all one topic, but I was supposed to be on a regular episode that had to be pushed back and suggested doing a yakuza special to Julian, since we're both fans and that way he'd have something to post for NWP. 

When I watched it I thought for sure they were dramatizing just how bad Billy really was. Years later, it turns out the ref for the Mavs v. Heat finals in 2006 was illegally betting on games he officiated, which explains a LOT. 

I forgot what we were talking about, but now I'm mad. 

I'm proabably less informed on this than you are, I was just saying a lot of big announcements for the Switch are ports. 

Really? They seem to be porting everything to the Switch. But I guess if it's not the games you want, then how many there are kinda doesn't matter. 

I've actually been getting through the level fine without any gears, but there was a falling block near what I think is the end of the level where I'm ashamed to admit I couldn't figure out how to exit the thing before getting sawed to death. 

Initially I thought, "what, does Mega Man have a morph ball mode I'm unaware of?" but it turns out (after watching a YouTube video of it) it's just that you have to jump and do a slide to fir through that hole. 

Ya ever spend way too long trying to figure something out in a video game, only to see someone else take a second and treat it like it's not even meant to be a challenge? I guess in my defense, the person playing it said they'd played the demo a bunch, but still. Not proud of myself. 

And before this happened I was told you could press down to make the long jumps in F-Zero. FML 

Not sure if 2010 to 2014 is what I'd consider retro, since we're in the same decade; but I guess going by exact definition it works. lol 

Yeah, there's some stuff I'd love to have on Wii U, but I think I'd wait until it's ported to Switch. Remembered the other day Bayonetta is on PC now and I think I may play it that way. 

Eh, I dunno. Every time it "evolves past" on-rails, I end up disliking the sections that are not on-rails. Except in the case of Adventure, where the dog fights were meh and the adventuring was actually pretty good.
