ReplyDeleteJust listened to the show. Several points:
ReplyDelete- Jesus! Do you fucks play anything other than first person shooters?! Seriously the entire first segment was like FPS Hour.
- Rock's dismissal of Pat know the animator of Clone Wars made my blood boil.
- I hope you assholes have cooled a bit on the Ouya. It's a scam, and will be under-powered, throwaway techie junk in 6 months.
- The joke's on Rock, cuz he had to buy those Creed and Nickelback songs.
- Maybe I'll play Silent Hill 2. I've never played those games and it's so far out of my comfort zone, it'd be interesting to talk with Dan Smith about it.
- MOAR prolapsed rectum talk. Less Final Fantasy X-II talk.
Haha! I actually think it was three animators I was confusing, as I threw Craig McCracken in there too. Oh well, this is what happens when I try to remember a thing from ten years ago while drinking. Good thing I copped to it.
DeleteIn fact, as I went to edit the show, when we got to that part of the show, I thought, "Wait What? What in the hell was I talking about?" Ah well. Sure it's a bit embarrassing, but at least I was able to get straightened out and admit I was wrong.
DeleteI think I zoned out during the Final Fantasy stuff... haha, I don't remember that at all.
DeleteOh I had totally forgotten about that. Haha!
DeleteAt least Dan Smith still hates everything.
DeleteFor favorite video game endings, I believe I have a three-way tie.
ReplyDeleteIn chronological order, I have to commend Chrono Trigger for being the first high profile game (for console gamers) to allow for a variety of endings depending how one plays the game, and the endings were different enough to be worth the multiple playthroughs.
Next, the first Metal Gear Solid blew my mind. I remember sitting through the whole ending sequence (credits included) and saying aloud, to myself, "I just played the greatest game ever made." Despite the pathos-based hyperbole, it was a truly astounding game, whose ending really brought the game events to a close as well as addressing the higher themes of the game. It felt like I'd just played a good book, and I gained a level as a person that day.
However, the best game ending I've seen is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake-Eater. It does all that the original MGS does but does it bigger. I've never gotten emotional with a video game ending, but this thing shook me to my core. Hideo Kojima may be a crazy mother fucker, but the dude knows how to tell a story and, more importantly, how to end a story (unlike most Japanese storytellers...seriously, go watch nearly any anime and tell me that the ending is anything but crap).
I also remember the ending to MGS 3 fondly. However, i played and beat that game on release day like...10? years ago and haven't gone back to it much since. I'll say the fight with Big Boss in the wildflowers was a magical moment, though.
