videogame things you think about a lot lot lot

I still don’t understand why Mario’s overall and shirt colors were switched and at this point I don’t care to look for the answer. What would the universe have been like if that hadn’t happened?

HAL was named as such because each letter put us one step ahead of IBM!

Isn’t that the exact same rationale for the naming of HAL 9000 in 2001?

Oh hey that’s one of several theories, yeah! That one has the distinction of having been specifically denied by Clarke.

Every so often I think about how A) Virtual Hydlide exists, B) Zophar from Zophar’s Domain has the speedrun world record in it https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1757147086?t=0h0m1s

I feel like, having played the shit out of Hydlides the First and Third, I should play The Virtual at some point.

Virtual rules so much. It’s unironically one of my favorite Saturn games

Routinely think about how old I am compared to game release dates

Today I realise Uncharted 1 and the dawn of the PS3 happened in the year that is the exact midpoint of my entire life. This somehow makes me feel relatively young but also very old.

I’ve posted about it before and I’ll post about it again how the first 9 credits of Razing’s shooters when you turn on the board are more difficult. Now extrapolate that out and think about it every time you play any arcade game.

Saw online that MGSV is 9 years old, ergo the whole “It’s been 9 years” at the beginning lining up.

I still think that one is one of the best MGS games…“the story is incomplete and Kiefer barely talks” OK yes true but also the game is fun, and good, and I enjoyed playing it. Can’t say that about MGS4.

MGS5’s only flaw, and I mean that sincerely, is that they didn’t get Hayter for the real Big Boss reveal at the end. Everything else about it is choice.

That guy being on cameo means fans have made it real.

Edit: nevermind this is AI shit. The Patriots were right.
