A personal retrospective of the Tales series.


Posted on 02/10/2019 at 08:42 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I first remember reading about Tales games in NIntendo Power.  They did an article about the first Tales game on the Super Famicom in Japan, and that was when I was really big into RPGs so I was mad it never came out over here.  I did get the GBA port, I have to say it's not very good.

I do have all the PSOne Tales games.  I enjoyed Symphonia a lot but I think I only liked it because I played it in two player mode with my brother Jeff.  I don't remember if we beat it but we got pretty far.

Tales of Legendia is my favorite Tales game.  I know, I'm weird.  I just love the characters (especially Grune) and my favorite video game composer, Go Shiina, did the music.  And it's wonderful.  Way better than the usual Tales music.

I do have Abyss and Vesperia, but nothing about them sticks out to me.  I know one character fought with a giant stuffed animal, and another was a purple dog.  And there was someone named Judith I think.

After Tales of Graces I kind of fell off the Tales bandwagon.  The games just got too long and meandering for me.  I did get Zestiria for Christmas one year.  i wanted it because I heard Go Shiinia did the music, but it turns out he only did a few songs.  

One thing I like about the older Tales games is all the classic Namco references they had.  A lot of enemies were from classic Namco games, some even had whole islands dedicated to Namco, and Tales of Destiny even had a 60 floor Tower of Druaga bonus dungeon.

BaD Weekend Parody: Netflix Sucks

Right now on Netflix I'm watching the new season (if you count six episodes as a season) of the new Mystery Science Theater 3000.  I love that show.

Nothing wrong with putting games on easy mode.  I hate to admit it, but I do it all the time.  I just don't have time to be stumped by games anymore.

My addiction to Animal Crossing Pocket Camp is BaD


Posted on 02/10/2019 at 08:26 AM | Filed Under Blogs

Oh I think I'm just as bad as you on Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, if not worse.  The AC series one of my favorites and the GameCube version is one of my top five favorite games of all time, so I really like the series.

What's so Bad about Ant-Man and the Wasp?

It just seemed like they pulled stuff out of their ass for the sequel.  "Oh, I spent so much time in the quantum world that I now have glowy fingers and can heal stuff...somehow."  Okay?

BaDicopter - Choplifter


Posted on 02/08/2019 at 06:38 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Yes!  I had Choplifter on the Apple II as well!  Although since I was just a little kid, I couldn't figure out the controls at first.  The Apple II was kind of my first gaming system, and I have a lot of memeories playing games like Choplifter, Spare Change, Aquatron, and many versions of Pac-Man.  The first game I ever completed was a proto-point and click text adventure game called Mickey's Space Adventure on the Apple II, and I felt such a sense of accomplishment as a kid when I did that, and that's one of the reasons why I like to review kids games now at GamerDad.com.  

I think I remember reviewing a Choplifter update/remake on the 360.  I remember it being very hard.

I've never used Twitter.  Not much of a desire to do so either.

I liked the first Ant-Man but the sequel got a little weird.

BaD Move - Final Fantasy Tactics

I played this game in college on the PSOne.  I learned something from playing this game.  I learned I don't like tactical RPGs. :)
