That sounds like a wonderful thing to play for a few

I've actually never played the first golden sun, but the sequel is so so so good

Agreed, I don't even understand why it's not. Over all it feels like a better game than the first one was. Except for the main character being a mr "I don't have time for anyone else" tough guy.

I'll admit I took a little bit of a break from ZoE2 need to pick it back up but I've been playing kingdom hearts for the first time. Not sure how I feel about it other than a general "meh"

This explains so much

I have a feeling I'm right behind you. It's the guy in the container right? Yeah his whole "we can't help you" come on dude. At least hear the sos out geez.

Not my picture, but I'm enjoying some Margarita Gose from Cigar City brewing. Very enjoyable sour, I'd say it's a bit less sour than SeaQuench, but not alot. scale of 1-10 SeaQuench is a 6 and this is a 5.

Baller! I just started ZOE2 last night. It's already so much better than ZOE in terms of gameplay. Main Character can be a bit "extra" but much better than Leo.

Very nice!!! I was surprised how quick the game is. I feel like it was much longer when I was a kid.

I ended up beating Zone of Enders wootwoot! I think I'll play Zone of Enders 2 next.

Join me in playing them friend! We can play them and then discuss them like some kind of game club or something! I think I beat the first one once and remember the ending being a bit sad but I'm replaying and I'll see what happens.

Had a very tasty lager yesterday at killarney house in Maryland. If anyone finds themself in Maryland near Annapolis and wants a wonderful pub experience, I strongly recommend it. The beer is good, the food is great and the atmosphere is quite cozy on a ugly rainy day.

I've been game hopping lately, but I seem to be stuck on replaying Zone of Enders for the first time in a long while. I forgot how much I love this game but greatly dislike it's control scheme. Mostly the fact the the O and X are function switched compared for a larger amount of the ps2 titles. That being said, it's such a beautiful game and feels so good even several years later. I've been told that Zone of Enders 2 is also great so I'll likely throw that one in next.

Which Mario is that?

Have you played yars revenge on the Gameboy? Any similarities?

INB4 they just link to this thread...

I feel like I've had the black hearted before, if it's the one I'm thinking of it was amazing.

I'm a firm believer in helping others achieve their goals. So I'm glad I was able to help you in some way

I'm a little late to this thread, but I'm proud of the dedication you've shown to staying sober. You took what (maybe?) was a problem, and made a commitment to stay away from it. Almost 7 years of that commitment no less. That's a true accomplishment right there, good work!

Could it be a labradoodle? Looks kinda like the one a coworker has.

That's one I've never played actually but I'm getting something in the mail today that'll let me play it on my gamecube so I'm very excited. I should probably finish Windwaker first though.

Now I feel inspired to finally finish Link's Awakening on the switch. Don't know why I haven't yet, it's really enjoyable.

Looks like I'm not too late to this party, I wanted to say thank you to @DefaultGen@Johnny and Stefan but since Stefan is on twitter I'll just stick with the cool guys instead. Jokes aside, I really appreciate the three of you taking the time to put together the podcast. I'm not sure if I would say there is a direct correlation between me getting into videogame collecting and listening to the collector's quest but I can say that when I was ready to start collecting I already had a wealth of great tips and tricks thanks to you three. Johnny was actually true to his word and super responsive on instagram about a gamecube collecting question I had and that speaks volumes to me. I also would not have of found this wonderful community as easily as I did had it not been for the three of you that and I'd probably be collecting disc only (ew). So thanks guys, keep up the excellent work! (Also gimme those deets on the patreon if you're being serious, you guys I'd gladly contribute financially towards if it helps you out.)

I'll give you credit for the "opportunity cost" point. Then again, I'm not sure when I decide to consider that in my "do I continue playing or not" decisions. For example, I mentioned it elsewhere (possibly in this thread I forgot) but I recently beat scooby doo mystery mayhem on the gamecube. Let me tell you, that game is pretty garbage. There were definitely individual things I liked but the game design and controls felt like hot ass. Not to mention the often confusing level layout. That all being said, I still beat the game. I could even see my self replaying it. So while I'd give it a horrible review, I definitely had fun and yes me being a scooby doo fanatic likely has something to do with the fun I had but beyond that I still feel like I enjoyed the game. Could I have been doing something more productive or profitable with my time? Yeah. Did I really care? Nah, I was off the clock and just wanted to play and enjoy something. Before I lose sight of my point, I suppose what I'm saying is if you need to consider "opportunity cost" when you're playing a game, you probably need to stop playing it and do something else instead.

That would be super cool if true. That much closer to digitalization of the brain
