I learned about MODOK from Marvel vs. Capcom 3. That game series is where most of my Marvel knowledge comes from. He's a playable fighter in that one. In that same game I also learned about She-Hulk. I decided she would be my favorite Marvel character even though I don't have a good reason why.
I played the original SaGa Frontier on PSOne. That game was a hot mess.
I signed up for the vaccine in my county at the first of this month. I got an email a few days ago that said I'm around 464,000 on the list. Sooooo...it may be a while before I can get mine. Would be nice to get it sooner, since I work in retail and all.
Like I said earlier, I only know about Dark Void Zero, a DSiWare game that was used to promote the main title. It looked, sounded, and played like a NES game, which wasn't as commonplace back then. Capcom even made some joke mock videos that this was a long lost PlayChoice 10 game, since it used both screens. But I didn't buy that because there was never any dedicated PlayChoice 10 games, they were all NES games and the second screen was just used for menus and instructions. Anyway, Dark Void Zero really feels like a Capcom NES game. It's really hard, too. I couldn't get past the second level. Granted, there are only three levels but they are huge. If this were a NES game, I definitely would've at least rented it back in the day. I actually have better memories playing Capcom NES gamse than Nintendo made ones.
Ys 8 is a good choice. My brother called it "Jurassic Park: The JRPG."
In that Star Renegades game, the "valkyrie heavy fighting woman with swords and armor" sounds cool!
I loved Phogs! It came out late last year, and had I had a chance to play it then, it would've gotten on my GOTY list. I did review it earlier this year. Anyway, a couple of things. First, to stretch your dog abomination out longer, hold down the R trigger button, at least on the PS4. And two, this is actually NOT a Japanese game, even though it looks like it. The game was actually made in the UK! Anyway, here's my review:

Dark Void was flop for Capcom, but they made a 2-D 8-bit version on DSiWare that was actually pretty good called Dark Void Zero.
I remember reading about this game a lot and seeing ads and such, but I never played it. I would've liked to have rented it or something, but it fell through the cracks.
In March I beat Ys 9! Yay! So now I'm working on Balan Wonderworld in my spare time when I'm not playing games for review or other things. I also just downloaded Pac-Man 99. Very fun game and a nice surprise! I got to number 2 once! So close! I'm really excited for New Pokemon Snap at the end of the month.
I've always been curious about those Digimon Cyber Sleuth games. The old Digimon anime was actually surprisingly good.
Yeah Nintendo drives me crazy sometimes. They do so much good stuff, but they also pull stunts like creating artificial scarcity, JoyCon drift, etc.
Yeah I don't think people realize how difficult things can be when you can't drive. And my mom is doing fine. She'll have her reconstruction surgery sometime in June or July.
Your one year old nephew is in school? Wow!
I went to Vegas a long time ago. Like, more than ten years ago. It's an interesting place. Not a good family vacation spot, no matter what they try to tell you.
Quick bits about what I remember in Vegas: slot machines are boring, I went to an M&Ms store, pictures don't do the Grand Canyon justice, Circus Circus has a cool arcade but the hotel itself is really run down, and neon lights are cool. We stayed at the Excalibur and was only there for like 3 days, not near enough time to see everything. Not sure if I'll ever go back. I'd like to, but you know, money.
Like I said eariler, my brother Jeff LOVED classic arcade Spy Hunter when he was little, so we had to get this one. We liked the 3-D one pretty well, but I remember it getting too hard later on. There was a sequel to this game, and did you know at one point they were planning on making a Spy Hunter movie? Can't believe they went with a Rampage movie instead.
Did you know that back when I was writing for The Dallas Morning News, I reviewed the original Legacy of Kain game? I didn't like it because vampires are gross. I was more willing to review any type of game back then, though, because I was getting paid for every article I wrote.
