Yeah, Game Pass sounds like an amazing service, but I'm just generally more attracted to Sony exclusives. Stupid console wars. 

Looked up that New Radicals album and am already a huge fan of "Someday We'll Know." Why did no one tell me?!

I think only movie theaters like I mentioned that serve food and IMAX will be left. I don't know that they'll all just die off completely by next year or anything, but I do think they'll be forced to adapt again. I think plain old regular-sized screen movie theaters will die completely within a handful of years though. 

I'm not surprised Cage Match was close, cause when I Googled the games I got a lot of results comparing them in ways that suggested both could be the #1 SNES game ... though a lot of people who prefer one can find a LOT of issues with the other.

Yes, Guilty Gear Strive. 

I hope you get a copy! I've seen some gameplay of it on YouTube, so there might be a beta version or some such already out. 

I-No has a lot going on ... that whole series does, which is why the "Story mode" in Xrd is an eight-hour anime whackamole epic. lol

Wishing your mom a speedy recovery and my Christmas gift to you is a date with Jam from Guilty Gear at her restaurant for Chinese New Year. I hear she's got a gold Pac-Man arcade cabinet in there, too. 

I prefer it. 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH 

REMAKE THE DINOSAUR GAME LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

LET'S MAKE IT A WHOLE BIG THING

WITH A T-REX AS THE BIG SHAPPOZZLE! wOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAHHHH 

GET THAT DINO ACTION

ALL UP IN THAT RESIDENT PARK! WOOO YEEEAAAHHHH 

SNAP INTO A RAPTOR JIIIIIIIIIIMMMM

I've seen enough interviews with Toshihiro Nagoshi that there wasn't too much in there I didn't know about, but I did love the aside about the lack of planning in the series. lol I guess that's why it helps for them to have kind of a template for each game. Glad things worked out for him and his team the way they did. 

Thanks for the link! It was a good watch. 

I would love to play a Panzer game just so I know what all the hype is about. At least it's not Shenmue, where the storytelling is pretty bland and that's ... kinda all the game wants you focused on. And yet, I loved Shenmue anyway. Weird. 

I'm stoked to play Hollow Knight for free. That's one of those indie games I've kept on wishlists for a while but never jumped on. 

I dig Blood of Zeus so far, but it's pretty early on. My TV this year was Tiger King and The Boys, basically. lol Oh, and Schitt's Creek. I'm sure there are others, but those pop in my head. 

I watched The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind with family over Thanksgiving and found it interesting and emotionally gripping. 

Journey to the Savage Planet sounds right up my alley. 

I take it your music 2020 section means you're not a big WAP fan? lol I can ... literally not think of any other song to come out this year and that is ... oof. I mean, I'll listen to it but that's not great. NPR does have a list of best music from this year though and it turned out to be much more interesting than I thought. 

I need to finish The Long Halloween and a couple of my Vonnegut books, but I'm also excited to read A Proimised Land. I put a bar over that last one cause I don't want to start any arguments, but I think that's going to be an interesting memoir. 

Here's to 2021 and beyond.
