Made a video on, Zone of the Enders. Much like Boktai, another overlooked Konami series despite Kojima as the producer. ZoE1 even being ignored by the fanbase on top of Konami only porting the 3rd game to modern systems. Had to see where it all started.

Made a video about choices in games. Whether narrative related or gameplay decisions the player can make. Some franchises are built around choices, while others default to a status quo in a sequel. Even small choices like just wanting a miss-able item.

I like that the Nintendo Store App lets you check way back. I'm also baffled I somehow spent less time in Xenoblade X Definitive Edition. Despite doing way more side content + the new epilogue. It somehow amounted to a shorter play time 😵‍💫.

Made a video on Alan Wake 2. Adding a dual protagonist set up between reality & The Dark Place and a shared universe with Control. The numbered sequel has a lot to live up to.

Me: I saw some people talking about The Legend of Dragoon. And they called the 2nd half "rough" because 3 boss fights that make using Dragoon forms a bad idea. Claiming it "why punish the main mechanic?".

Brother: Because the player shouldn't be overly relying on Dragoon forms?

Me: I'm playing Zone of the Enders: Fist of Mars. Throughout the game the resistance is being used as a scapegoat for propaganda. With one instance being to excuse high taxes on Earth food to Mars, with the actual goal being to starve the Martians.

Brother:😳

Made a video about Voice Acting in video games. Voice acting can breathe new life to characters and affect how players view them. I am also fully convinced people end up preferring/remembering comedically bad voice acting more than amazing voice acting.

An angry survivor said I was tunneling when I didn't. And this is whom the new major update they're testing is catering too😒. I try not to be such a downer in regards to DBD. But years of weird decisions killed the devil's advocate in me for it.

Social media: Today is the 2nd anniversary of Alan Wake 2🥳🎉.

Me: I need to stop accidentally making videos next to the anniversaries of games...

Times I've done it so far:
-Final Fantasy VIII
-Tekken 8
-Dark Sector
-Alan Wake 2 (Soon)

Me: There was a topic going around about how someone making a negative video on a series you like is "the worst things that could happen". A negative video on a game can't kill a series. Some still citing stuff like "Spoony with FF8" or "Dunkey with Xenoblade 2"

I know I've been posting a lot. Sorry. But one more thing.

I wanted to being attention to my sister's extra life campaign for Children National.

Her last milestone was going to be P3R on merciless but we might have bullied her into just one more milesstone to do that on FES.

As mentioned on stream last night. We got some new incentives for Extra Life.

We're going big! If we can get by the end of this year up to $600. We will unlock P3R on Merciless Mode challenge.

HOWEVER!

$700 bumps this up to P3FES on Hard Mode.

Let's Raise Money For Charity!

Made a video on, Control. Control has a great premise focusing on the paranormal and alternate world phenomenons. But it struggles to live up to the potential.

Made a video on handheld games, whether portable versions of console titles or fully unique titles/versions made for the hardware. But I feel like ever since the Nintendo Switch, unique handheld titles stopped being thing in favor of only portable console games.
