It has its moments but is a huge step down from the original. 6

Castle of Illusion is one of those right place at the right time situations, since it was an early genesis release for what is a very run of the mill platformer.  Rather overrated.

Land of Illusion, while not great, feels a bit underrated.  I guess it is a sequel, but plays a lot different.  Being able to play different levels as Mickey and Donald, in addition to the co op mode, gave it a bit of replay value.

Never played Land. I did play World of Illusion which I remember looking great but being less challenging than Castle of Illusion.

It's a PC game, or rather, it's taken from the PC version of a game.

Man, I enjoyed that game too.  I could see this being at the beginning.  Another game featuring crates is is Final Fantasy Tactics, but I don't think there's any form of that game on PC.

FFT was one of my first thoughts but I didn't guess it.

I like it a lot. Nice graphics for Genesis and a decent amount of fun. I gave it an 8.

Note that I've reached the final boss but never beat her.

Okay, I think it's Super Mario RPG.

Vagrant Story?

I don't know how you guys are so good at this. I can't even reach level 11 or get 20k.

Wait this is an actual game and not an april fools joke lmaoooo

The original Untitled Goose Game.

It looks so familiar.

There's a lot of tough shooters and tedious sports games left at this point.

As an adult male your life should only consist of work, alcohol, sex and sports. Don't forget sports.

You shouldn't be getting hacked this much. Do you use insecure passwords or the same password for every site? You should also look into 2 factor authentication.

Pretty much this, debate over  

Season 1-2 are not seasons I watch very often but I recently re watched them and there were way more 8-10/10 episodes than I thought. I think my perspective on these episodes has changed the older I get. 

I always find it funny that every few years I read an article saying that the old Simpsons are back and they describe the episodes and they sound awful. 

Someone must be watching it though because it’s still going after all these years.

It must be getting harder for the actors to do the voices. Especially Julie Kavner, she sounds awful now. When one of the main actors dies or can't do it anymore they should just call it quits.

Seasons 3-8 = 10/10
Seasons 1,2,9 = 7-9/10, depending on the episode
Seasons 10+ = fuck that shit/10

Trilogy of Error is a great episode from season 12.

I actually find myself watching post season 10 more because I've seen the classic era episodes so many times.

this, as a movie on its own, is pretty mediocre.

that being said, if you're just watching it as a movie, you're doing it wrong. This was made as a social commentary for the counter culture. it's about taking taboo subjects and flaying them wide open for all to see. for exposing the undercurrent of weird that flows through life, generally unseen. 

you have to remember, most movies that came out before this one were very traditional.

 

It came out in 1975 not 1955. WR The Mysteries of the Organism and Pink Flamingos make Rocky Horror look like It's A Wonderful Life.

Congrats, man.

I've 1cc'd it multiple times and beaten it deathless once with Hot Flash. Deathless is a tall order but I think it's worth going for a 1cc.

The original point of copyright is to compensate the creators. When a book is out of print and isn't even available digitally it can only be purchased used and the creator (or their estate) isn't being compensated either way. The law makes no sense in this case.

Maybe old books that aren't even in print anymore should be free. It's not like the original author will get paid when someone buys it used.

Looks like The Best of How To Win At Nintendo, How To Win At Nintendo Games #2 and How To Win At Nintendo Sports Games are fully available while the others require that you borrow or purchase to view.

Just put in 'how to win at' in the search, they're all up there NOT on his account fully viewable.  Seems like a dumb move on his part unless he's hoping to catch those too lazy or dim to see the magnifying glass in the corner with the word search in the box.

I've picked up a few of these locally in recent years, but the Gameboy and SNES ones are the most fun since they're less obviously found than the small stack of NES books.  All are fairly useless as help but make an amusing read.

Nice. Thanks.

There might be some good strats, but they would've been more useful back before the internet and there were fewer options. Now I'm skimming through them primarily for nostalgia reasons.

For 6-2, I think it's best to quickly get through those jumps rather than taking your time with them. Figure out how to do them all in one go. It will take some trial and error but you should get the hang of it.

Fortunately the last boss isn't that difficult at all. Sometimes he does a really big jump and you have to connect with a jump kick as soon as he lands. If you're a hair too late you'll get hit. Also try to get him with your three specials. Be careful because he can stun lock you for a lot of damage.

Since You've Been Gone is a cover and it's decent enough. Sounds good on the radio. 6/10

Rainbow in the Dark is over the top fun and has the benefit of Dio's pipes. 8/10

Is it SNES Wing Commander?

Score update. Still trailing a bit behind Gaia but at least I broke 300k. Nailed the bonus levels.
