For Dragon Quest 2, its absurd and infamously untested elements that created such a challenging game precedes itself. I hope in the remake that this is taken into consideration in particular when it comes to difficulty

since the 1+2 remakes are soon here are these really cool pieces, I love how the bosses and enemies look and the caricatures in the circles are awesome.

Having the monsters use palettes similar to the main antagonist is SO cool

art for dragon quest 2 featuring the three heroes in a wreath. above them is the main antagonist hargon surrounded by a variety of monsters

Teemo is my 2nd most played champion in League and Combofiend is one of my favorite fighting game players of all time and designed Warwick

When I shoot you with darts and rip you to shreds with warwick know I wasn't a band wagoner, I'm a day 1er

Vi Blitzcrank really was landing any sort of hit and EXPLODING you in 2XKO

I started playing Silksong finally and as soon as I hit forward I was mad as hell. The world this game inhabits, the smooth and fluid feeling motions and animations, it feels like your control over Hornet is 1:1

When you give talented and skilled people time to make what they want it shows

Teemo in a fighting game... time to become a monster for real

I remember playing DQ5 for the first time and not being able to stop playing it. I thought about it between play sessions and after I completed it, it is truly remarkable

As you can imagine, I'm pretty excited for the remake of Dragon Quest 2.

My favorite type of fighting game is the one where I come up with an idea in my head and after chipping away at it, finally it comes together

Today I turn 32 and I actually share my birthday with two videogames that I care about a lot, that being Undertale and Spelunky 2. Getting older has a lot of looking back at things and I try to take the time to appreciate the simpler and subtler things in media I see now and that I saw then

I see, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined has this uncanny look for the characters is because they created figures irl and scanned them in for the models

Very bizarre choice but it certainly looks... Unique

I think Marvel Tokon Storm is the coolest Storm (Design-wise AND gameplay wise) there has ever been

Fighting games transcend language, when I watch a fighting game in a foreign country with foreign players in a foreign language it doesn't matter that I speak english and watch from the US, when Guile does a longass combo in SF6 the commentators still say AY for the hits

How can you be someone that cares about music and has lots of expensive audio equipment in the videos and then throw all that into the bin with a shitty AI music outro

bought a replacement 3.5 cord for my old sony's after reading they recommend a mini stereo or something, the end is longer or the shroud or something is further back

The cord I got was not far back enough so I just cut some of the plastic off and now it works like a charm

I think nothing is better than a really obvious punchline in rap and a youtube comment quotes it like "Some of y'all might have missed that one"

This type of item is what makes The Binding of Isaac the Binding of Isaac, an item called Spindown Dice with a description of "-1" and it simply rerolls items on pedestals in the room you're in to the item 1 lower on the item list

the binding of isaac active item "Spindown Dice" It is a black colored 20 sided dice with red markings. Its description simply reads "-1"

I always liked the name "Megante" it has such a nice ring to it despite being such a destructive technique

I can't stop listening to this theme, it is legitimately one of the greatest songs composed for a fighting game (In my opinion) and is honestly just an amazing song in general www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M9-...
