  1. Don’t blame me, blame Reed’s evil rules.
  2. It feels impossible to strip it from the historical context. In vacuum, the screens are way too samey remixes of the same few elements and it's not exciting to map a straight line to find all the treasures. Maybe it's challenging to do a run with no damage but I've never tried that. 5/10?
  3. Pssht you've only been playing since what, last summer?
  4. There's some wonkiness with the display. They originally claimed it was 1600x1200, people couldn't get it to work properly, and now for this product they're claiming 1440x1080 (so a different panel?). It looks cool but I'd wait for reviews to make sure they don't half-ass the finish line the display because you won't find a 4:3 replacement as big.
  5. They confirmed on Discord you can literally submit HD-DVDs. Zing denied.
  6. Maybe I'd pick Runescape. After another few decades maybe I'll have time to learn how to actually PVP.
  7. Gotta be a series with impossible lifelong grinds like Ultima Online/Runescape/Path of Exile or something endlessly creative like Minecraft. Even the longest RPGs and most replayable action games get boring after 100s of hours. Mario would get you Mario Maker 2, which has essentially endless content and creative aspects, so that wouldn't be a bad choice.
  8. I remember seeing those, potentially on Dealextreme. It's just a cheap as heck novelty Chinese controller. Dealextreme was a direct to consumer Chinese marketplace like Aliexpress before that was big in the US. I got a bunch of PS2 mod chips and stuff there.
  9. 15 years ago: A boy finds a forum with a bunch of Nintendo nerds who like the same rare obsolete games 2024: The Dark Knight blu-ray 9.2 A+ To be clear this is a real tweet. I know there were memes about this when Wata launched @OptOut for good measure.
  10. Maybe not that much better than Diablo II, but I feel like ARPGs have advanced past D2 and because RTSs are totally dead, SC2 might just be the best one ever.
  11. Starcraft II is by far the best Blizzard game
  12. Super Mario Kart runs at 60fps. How embarrassing that a next gen kart racer plays like Microsoft Powerpoint. It’s better than MK64 though, I love this game. There’s so much to explore and do and I remember some of it being pretty challenging like the bosses or Greenwood Village silver coins, but it’s possible I was just a dumb kid at the time. 8/10
  13. Sub-Terrania Shatter Hotline Miami I could say “better” soundtracks but these are the ones I keep listening to.
  14. Got a nice Wizardry upgrade. The earliest prints have a copyright typo and errata notice stamped on the inside.
  15. I love Sonic CD and its stupid level design. I liked it even more before I played S3&K and Sonic Mania! But still one of the few Sonic games I actually think is great. It's also probably the least enjoyable Sonic game to play through just once? It's less of a spin dash to the right and jump sometimes game than most Sonics. 8/10.
  16. Next episode (well, next next episode because we've already recorded the next episode)
  17. Pinball Wizard is is the worst if you play pinball. Every time someone learns you play pinball, they single half a lyric from the song. It's like if you told someone like you video games and they consistently went "Duh duh duh do duh duh do" from SMB. Every single time.
  18. I would say Poke-uh-mon in polite company but my brain does enjoy a good Poke-ay-mon due to this 90s classic.
  19. Opty let me know when you want to start the bad game club. Next month’s game can be Bubsy 3D.
  20. Holy moly, you don't see those a lot Did you track that down or just happen to find one?
  21. By waiting until S&K's 30th anniversary so we can play the whole game
  22. 1-10 scales are too granular. Everything ends up between 7-10 because games in general are entertainment, so how can you rate even a sub-par game a 3/10? It was still kinda fun after all. This will be evidenced when Superman gets a 7/10 from OptOut. I think either the numbers or descriptions are fine and no one takes them too seriously Opinions are like SMB/DH, everyone has one.
  23. Collectors are so dumb. The consoles version of this game shot up 3x in price because of this. Was anyone buying digital versions of Spec Ops: The Line on PS3? Are those digital stores even still up? The PC version, the version that was actually just delisted, is still available for $15 brand new physically. Insanity. This is the perfect situation to not panic. A game was delisted... and physical copies were already available for low prices on every platform! It's like buying up a DVD because it got removed from Netflix.
