I have found the opposite to be true, at least with the older games. When I was a kid, I used to die all the time because I was impatient and didn't take my time through levels. But as an adult, I understood the importance of timing. The last time I played through Megaman 2 I did so without using a continue, which was unheard of for little me.

I'll agree that the modern platformers seem to put a premium on speed, likely to appeal to the speed running community. I seem to do better on Rogue Legacy when I'm being as twitchy as possible.

That video was hilarious, even to someone who has avoided all of that stuff like the plague.

I have lost 30 pounds since my diagnosis, and that puts me at 60 pounds down from my largest back in 2013. I am very hopeful that I will beat this, and once I do I am not going back!

I learned a lot. It still hurts, and I still miss her. I keep thinking to myself that if I could go back 9 months with the knowledge I have things would have been great. Or if she had just waited a little longer before moving on. But this had to happen for me to learn. It wasn't just us breaking up; it was her moving on so completely and quickly, and me taking a lot of time to really evaluate myself and realize that there were changes that I needed to make.

Since recording this episode I have come to the realization that it is too late for us. Oh, she could eventually want to take me back, but that could take years. I can't sit around moping and feeling sorry for myself. I can take the lessons I learned and analyze them and make myself a better person, and that's what I choose to do. If she could see the man I have become already I think it would shock her, and if she ever meets the man that I plan to be at the end of this journey she may end up wishing that things had gone a different way.

The friend that I cried to gave me a great bit of wisdom. My girlfriend changed me for the better, and I get to keep that. She doesn't take it away along with her love. It is mine, and I will take that and expand on it until I feel like the person she always knew I could be. Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot.

I've been walking a lot lately, and losing weight has been a super positive thing, both for my diabetes and my mental health. I am down to 229 pounds. I have never been 229 pounds as an adult, and I feel like I could totally reach my goal of 205.

You get to see a little more behind the scenes since you are on my facebook page. But yeah, I think if you go back and listen to episode from about summer til now you can get a sense of the turmoil going on. Probably a big reason why Dragon Age was such a bummer for me. Things were getting really bad between us during that time. Then they got really great. Then they ended.

I definitely think the way you talk about Spelunky is the way I have felt about Diablo 3. Even today, I was thinking that I need to jump back in. But I really haven't been in much of a gaming mood lately. Too busy trying to work on me.

This comment means a lot, sir. Especially knowing that you have followed us from the beginning. Thank you.

Yay, I'm glad someone out there played Hybrid Heaven! I didn't play a ton of it, but I remember really enjoying what I did play.

I think we would have mentioned Smash Bros. for sure if we were talking more of the mainstream games, but Patrick took us in an interesting direction that I wasn't expecting. Hope you enjoy our PlayStation episode in September.

I would be bedlam, Nick. Bedlam! I don't think I say one word in the next part for at least 45 minutes because Liana is a force of conversational nature.

I would love for us to do more of this. Sorry it took so long to get it published!

I put you on the same page with me on purpose. It just felt right, since we go so far back with our blogging.

It makes me happy that someone listened to this surprise episode on day one. Liana is very cool, and I hope we can have her on again. She was certainly not what I was expecting, in the best way possible.

Fifty Shades is a terrible representation of BDSM for a multitude of reasons. I saw the movie yesterday and didn't hate it as much as the book, but that is faint praise. One of the main issues is his lack of aftercare: meaning that after the scene is concluded there should be a rather lengthy period of comforting, soothing, and most importantly, talking.

I doubt they will be doing the other two books as films because the actors apparantly despise each other.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the next episode! It is unlike anything we have ever done.

What is this?! Someone outdid Michael117's Wall 'o Text (tm)?! Egad!

To be fair, I played Mario 64 for the first time since the game's launch in 2009 when I bought an N64 off of a coworker and played it for about half an hour. I still feel like I didn't have any problems with the camera or getting Mario to do what I want to do, but playing Sunshine or Galaxy I always feel like I'm fighting him a little bit. It might be a control thing for me...not sure.

You proved you listened to the outtake thingy! You are my favorite listener. I don't know when Punk's first match is, but if he ever actually fights Jason David Frank I am totally there. CM Punk vs. the Green Ranger? Hell yeah!
