2D Mario Series Retrospective | Part I - Humble Beginnings
So... it's been a minute, huh? I was hoping for this year to be huge for the channel, but so far, I haven't really done anything. Well, that changes today! Last year, I redid my videos on the Sonic "Dreamcast era" as a part of an ongoing retrospective about that series that's currently on indefinite hiatus, because back in 2021... well, I'll be frank, I was horrible at making videos and did a really bad job. I mean I'm still not a master at doing it these days by any means but uh just ignore that part
Doing that gave me the idea to revisit the other topics from that year and make them way better than my 19-year-old self ever could, and nowhere else do I think that was needed more than in t...

Channel Update 2024
Просмотров 1386 месяцев назад
A quick update video explaining where I've been, and my plans going forward. Also, I know I said I wanted to do SM64 before the other games in the video, but after thinking about it I might do the 2D games first, which would admittedly make more sense. Point is, I want to do something Mario-related next.

Donkey Kong Country 3 | A Polarizing Finale
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
Back in the 1990s, Rare was on a roll. Following a series of hits they developed on the NES, the company's purchase of a few advanced SGI workstations gave them the ability to create high-tech 3D visuals for the time. This tech landed them a spot as a second party developer for Nintendo, namely in how they were allowed to make games using Donkey Kong, a series that had previously been dormant f...
What Made Donkey Kong Country 2 So Awesome

What does it mean for a game to be one of your favorites of all time? Now that is sure a loaded question. You may cite any number of reasons, but truth be told, it can sometimes be hard or outright impossible to explain, especially in a convincing way, why you like certain games over others, let alone why one stuck out to you as a favorite. That being said, you sometimes encounter those cases w...

So, the 1990s then, huh? They sure do come up in my videos a lot, because the stuff I talk about tends to be from around that time. Sure, while many of you may know my favorite era of the industry is the early 2000s, or in other words, the sixth generation, I have an undeniable appreciation for the old but gold sidescrollers from before the dawn of 3D the industry has to offer. Mario, Sonic, Me...

A Look at the GBA Sonic Platformers
Просмотров 280Год назад
Sonic has had an interesting history with handheld games. Back on the Game Gear, he starred in several platforming games that served as a side dish to the main home console course. Despite the change and evolution the series would go through in the late part of the 1990s going into the 2000s, this trend stayed mostly the same. In my opinion, despite the somewhat rocky circumstances surrounding ...
Why I Love Sonic Heroes
Просмотров 689Год назад
The late 1990s early 2000s were a very transitional era for the Sonic series. Years of mistakes from Sega had left their console business in shambles, and that of course included Sonic. The series was somewhat refreshed by the release of the Dreamcast and its first true 3D game, Sonic Adventure, but the console would ultimately not be able to outrun the company's previous mistakes. That, and th...

What is the best Sonic game ever made? A loaded question, to be sure. If you ask it, you're bound to get a different answer from every person. The series has been around for so long and has seen so much change over the years that it attracts an unbelievable amount of preferences and opinions. Born in the 1990s as an answer to Mario's dominance, Sonic was a big deal, especially after he was revi...
Does Sonic Adventure Still Hold Up?
Просмотров 660Год назад
Throughout the 1990s, Sonic the Hedgehog was established as one of the most iconic game series. Sega wanted a mascot that could compete with the likes of Mario and Mega Man, and managed to put up quite a fight. While their console, the Genesis, was initially met with lukewarm sales, things eventually turned around when Sonic arrived on the scene. He managed to stick out in the minds of many peo...
A Look at the Other 1990s Sonic Platformers
Просмотров 352Год назад
In the 1990s, Sonic the Hedgehog was on top of the world. Starring in four of the most beloved sidescrollers of the era, he burst onto the scene and made a strong impression with his no-nonsense attitude, engaging characters and world, and unique physics-based platformer gameplay. In other words, there really wasn't anything else like Sonic, and while there were many imitators, none could beat ...

By the time 1993 arrived, Sonic the Hedgehog had been firmly established in the collective mind of the games industry. Born out of Sega's desire to overtake Nintendo as the world's leading console manufacturer, Sonic sped onto the scene and made a name for himself, especially here in the West. As the series went on, though, it would gradually evolve into so much more than just an answer to Mari...

I'm pretty sure it's clear why I love Sonic so much by now. I mean, I've only spent, I don't know, over a collective hour talking about his games recently? This series came out swinging, and in many ways sought to leave an impact on those who played it with aggressive marketing, a cool cast of characters with an engaging world to go along with it, and a continuous escalation of the stakes and s...

Following the release of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis in 1991, Sega, along with the newly-formed Sonic Team, experienced a lot of success. The game sold millions, and managed to ship truckloads of Genesis units. While the console, also known as the Mega Drive overseas, initially seemed it would end in lukewarm market performance as Sega's other home console ventures had, Sonic arrived on t...

    The hoverboard has aeroplane control when you boost in the air, if you hold up you'll go down. If you hold down, you'll go up. Don't hold anything if you wanna go straight. I thought these hoverboards were terrible until I realised if you just keep the stick neutral and focus on turning it's way better. Edit: The "undodgeable" hit on the magnets in Clank's body is a puzzle, you've got to go around those beams.

    I love how this series maybe unintentionally has really really good neurodivergent representation. The way you described Osaka basically hit all of the cornerstones for an autism diagnosis as well as attention deficit disorder. Tomo’s entire personality aligns with ADHD and sakaki’s personality quirks, hyperfixations and social difficulties are enough to suggest that she may be on the autism spectrum too. Usually characters exhibiting these qualities are shunned or made into the butt of jokes in other movies and TV series but in azumanga daioh they are treated with respect and included in the group just as much if not more so than the “normal” characters. As someone with autism, ADD and ADHD this show really made me feel seen and accepted.

Jojo is my all time favorite series and azumanga daioh is in my top 5… it’s weird, there are some bits of jojo that literally are slice of life, especially in parts 4 and 8. Smh my head I’d think people who like shit like jjk would be slice of life haters instead. I am disappointed in my community

    I just finished this game via ps5 with pspremium, and i have to say, i personally didnt like it, it felt like no matter what weapon i would use, the enemys didnt really care, the hit points make really little sense the way they are, would have been better if it was the nanotech bubbles like in the first game, because almost all ememys make half of your healthbar demage. But i liked the amore feature. Maybe its because of the bad port to the ps5, but to me the handling was pretty wonky. I will stick with the main games. I can understand, if you like the game, its just not a game a would play again.

    Size Matters on PS2 is superior in pretty much every way than on PSP. But Secret Agent Clank on the other hand has numerous glitches, worse textures, no progressive scan, the screen fades to black for like half a second every time you enter the quick select & the cutscenes are in worse quality than on PSP. The only better thing in the PS2 port of SAC is that you get more bolts

    I was always into Azumanga comedy and clips and stuff but just recently watched, and God Damn was it good.. instantly one of the best (if not the best) Slice of Life anime I've ever watched, their story was so endearing and I even cried during their graduation. With that "sadness that is over but glad that it happened" type of feeling. That's how good this anime is.

    Ironically, if some of the variables like for weapon damage values, armor damage reduction, bolt economy, and how physics work in the racing parts, the game could have been mid with a bad story at best. The sound effects may be excused for being on PSP; however, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep was originally a PSP game and had great sound effects and was able to properly work around the compromise of not being on PS2. So, I will not be giving Size Matters nor Secret Agent Clank a pass on the sound effects.

    OH MY GOD THE INTRO ALREADY KILLED ME BAHAHA I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE ACTUAL VID ESSAY YET but I have faith one of my favorite anime of all time is in good hands call it a gut feeling lmfao I saw this show for the first time when I was around 4 or 5 because my family was also weeb trash like me (it is precisely BECAUSE they are weeb trash that I turned out to be as well funny how that all works out sometimes) and owned the series boxset ahaha and it's always stayed close to my heart through the years for its sense of safe childish whimsy and innocence (except Kimura I have no idea why the fuck he had to be there at all to be honest with you, taints an otherwise perfect show for me lol) so I've been loving stumbling across these dissections of it here on RUclips lately. It's so awesome to see that other people still love this show as much as I do 🥰🥰🥰 EDIT: BAHAHA OH MY GOD YOU HOOKED ME LESS THAN 10 MINUTES IN I'M SUBBING I LIKE THE CUT OF YOUR JIB MAN AHAHA

    You definitely had some emulator issues or controller problems in combo with sucking really bad at the game. After tweaking settings on ppsspp and my controls it was actually easy to 100%. You had a few decent points but other than that it was just 30 minutes of yapping
