Soon as I saw bicycle bicycle, all I could think of was "meat bicycle", a phrase used often in the Borderlands games.
I held the Zelda Breath of the Wild cart in my hand the other day. So small. How'd they crunch so much digital real estate in that thing? I had rented it thinking I'd have a Switch by now but I don't. Boy are people raving about how good it is. I guess I missed the Nintendo boat yet again.
I was trying to find release dates for old arcade games and had to dig quite a bit to find them. I guess I could've used the Killer List of Video Games site for that. It's a bit better with arcade games.
I used to use Allgame.com all the time, obsessively, but it shut down a few years ago now. I saved all the pages but I can't sort the database anymore, so I've used wiki instead. It's not perfect, especially for older games, but I'm making do.
It's a small galaxy, everyone's related. Like a small town in middle America.
I'm still super impressed with the visuals of Phantom Menace. Amazing looking film, just lacks in the story and acting department. I liked Attack of the Clones for it's variety of locations and the battle with Grevious. I've largely forgotten about Revenge of the Sith. FA was great but derivative to the point it made me groan, but I still liked it. RO was better but who were those characters again? Pretty forgettable except that last scene with Vader. Much better screenplay though.
Yea, I'll be excited for the next one. For sure.
I have even stronger memories of the Battletanx sequel Battletanx: Global Assault because you could play the campaign co-op, which was a rare feature in 1999. Mark and I played that one a lot.
I think that was my problem with B2. When I beat the main game, I felt compelled to up the difficulty but then the DLC was really hard. It's like they want you to go to the beginning of the main game after switching difficulty.
I didn't do anything.
Weapon Crusher is cool but I got most of my best stuff from drops or the gold key chest. Still, it was fun to chuck stuff in there and see what would come out.
I looked at the cartridge for Zelda and boy was it small. Smaller than a 3DS cart. Kind of weird they could stuff so much code into such a small cart.
Also, everybody seems to be crazy excited and glowing about the new Zelda. People are calling it the best game they've ever played and going on and on about it like it was some kind of spiritual awakening. I imagine they'll cool off eventually. I mean, it's just Zelda embrasing open world gameplay. You'd think Nintendo just invented it or these people are experiencing it for the first time. Anyway, I'm sure it's great. I wish I could play it.
I got Spartan Assault on 360 and then got it free on XBO through Games with Gold. Thing is, I didn't really like it. I don't like the U.I. for it. I'm going to try it again, though. in my journey through the series. Too bad they didn't port Spartan Strike to XBO. I want to try that.
