I just learned (a few days late...) that SaGa Frontier is getting a remaster! The original game had quite a bit of content cut for release that is now going to be included! It's actually sweet because there was an interview with the director back in 2017 where he said he'd like to re-release the game with the cut features but was not sure if god would keep (him) alive until the day it can be realized," and now it's coming!
I've loved the other SaGa games I've played so this is very exciting for me.
You know, if Pokémon had ended at gen 2 like a lot of people thought, it would probably be getting it's nostalgia sequel/reboot right about now, based off the number of other 90s properties doing so.
In the past I've been annoyed at Pokémon always removing good features going forward, but at the moment I'm looking at the bright side:
Gen 9 won't have me doing 10,000 max raid battles for it's post-game content.
Becoming a vampire sounds cool--eternal unlife, turning into a bat--but it really isn't. Here's what you need to keep in mind:
*It turns out being repulsed by religious iconography isn't a mild inconvenience the hero uses in the final moment but deeply inconvenient at all times.
*You may or may not be killed by the sunlight. If possible please ask the vampire who bit you if your the type that dies by sun, is weakened by sun, sparkles in sunlight, or whatever. If your vampire dad or mom is deadbeat you're in trouble and--I know, this is shocking--records show that 47% of new vampire parents don't stick around for when their child raises from the grave thirsty for blood.
*At a certain point every one of your tax returns is audited.
*Turns out a bunch of other supernatural entities exist and you're pretty low on the pecking order. You can lord it over zombies, ghouls, and goblins, sure. But ghosts don't really care, and demons, sorcerers, and the Unseelie think you're a joke. Werewolves are sort of an even match but they instinctively hate you. Stock up on silverware.
*You do not get a complementary cape. You must find a cape and purchase it yourself, with your own money.
*Your Transylvanian castle is actually annoying to have. It's dusty, in a terrible state of disrepair, the architecture changes every year or so, and frankly? The flea men are making fun of you behind your back. But if you don't spend at least 180 days a year with it as your primary residence it stops being tax deductible.
*Being unable to enter a private dwelling without invitation is a pretty big problem if you're not suave and charismatic. Dracula had a much easier time feasting on beautiful youth than Count Orlock is what I'm saying.
So have a happy Halloween and remember; if a stranger asks if you'd like them to bite you and turn you into a vampire, be mindful and say no!
I'm sure some people here remember when the Simpsons did the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" two parter. It was a big event at the time and they held a contest to guess who did it. Apparently no one eligible for the prize got it right so they chose a random entrant who had guessed Smithers to win.
Apparently the Mirage Hotel in Vegas put odds on various suspects:
A Fansite dedicated to our favourite family, The Simpsons
babysimpson.co.uk
Seen a few things suggesting the odds were faked as part of the contest, though?
No money was involved but my family put guesses down when we watched the episode. I put mine on Snake but I don't recall who anyone else thought.
Krusty is bizarrely high considering he had a great alibi in part 1 that he'd been out of town for most of it and had no motive.
Also Hans Moleman for some reason.
When I was six or seven I rented Breath of Fire and got killed by the first boss. Today I started it on the Switch Subscription and finally got revenge.
Who's laughing now, Frog? Who's laughing now?!
One of those silly gen 1 things; a lot of Pokémon that appeared in the wild overly late (like Koffing) had really screwy level up sets, like Slowpoke learning Watergun at level 33. When G/S/C introduced breeding (and more reasonable capture times for a lot of gen 1 Pokémon, though sadly not so much for some of the new gen 2 ones) these got extensive learn set overhauls.
Many that were previously available early got much more minimal changes, like Pidgey or Rattata.
I'm replaying Heartgold and during my battle with rival in Azalea town my Pokémon hurt themselves while confused seven turns in a row.
Never thought I'd see a Zubat consecutively beat an Onix and a Mareep.
Would be interesting if there was a new topic that works to identify Ash's (and maybe his friend's) Pokemon as various RPG classes. A little game for everyone.
