And as for JarJar, yeah, I think he's a bit much, but he's also only got so much screen time. If a single annoying character ruins a movie for you, I mean that's you, but are we really going to throw a whole movie out over a single character? Nevermind that this can't even apply to Ep2 and Ep3.

The only arguments I even consider entertaining here is that the acting is corny and that JarJar is annoying, but even to that, the acting is corny on purpose, so is that really a failing? And it certainly isn't BAD corny (one need only watch some Italian exploitation film dubs to see what that is).

Seriously. Is it the camera work? The camera work is gorgeous and always clear about what you are looking at. Is it the CGI? The CGI was the best of its time and literally pioneered techniques going forward. Is it the music? (There's no way its the music). Sound design? Visual language?

Now for the funny part: I've used a fax machine, phone booth and record player as late as the 2010s (2020s for the record player). My one time using a phone booth was when I missed a plane flight in Christmas 2010 and had to call to let people know I was going to be behind accordingly lol.

this game gets pretty damn hard, I only made it to the end a few times as a kid lol. I could probably have an easier time now as an adult, but still!

what the fuck is going on in that fourth screen shot

the ONLY drawback is that it doesn't have the in game map like the PC port does... which makes that Himalayan river mission a pain in the ass to navigate on N64 lol

well, yes, ideally that IS how it should be honestly...

Specifically, he vetoed it BECAUSE he wanted to use it for Crystal Skull (or rather, wanted to use it for a movie, that would go on to become Crystal Skull).
Either way this game rules and I love it. The forbidden love child of Ocarina of Time and Tomb Raider.

Level 1, Level 4, and Level 6 all have bosses iirc. Level 1 is a big crystal ship, Level 4 is a big alien, and Level 6 is the gif posted. They all appear on stage 15, the final stage of each level.

... so of course, this means that 64 has to have its own, second, actually unlockable, even more OP original ship.
Lotta fond memories of this one. Bought it with my dad one cold autumn after doing yard work for some relatives, because my dad liked the Asteroids arcade as a kid.

This is such a weird counterpart port to Asteroids on PS1. Basically the same game, but now you have no background music and the backgrounds for some of the levels (namely the first one) look different, and the OP unlockable ship is available by default...

I'd dare say even full sentences are good too! I kinda wish Dread kept the internal monologues from Fusion, they were a nice insight into how intense she is. She's not really meant to be a conversationalist, but she does get vocal when provoked.

We gotta move past Other M trauma. It came, it went, it was kinda corny, its time to heal already and move on lol. Samus talks, either aloud or to herself, in the opening of Super, in Fusion, and in Dread, its ok to let Prime Samus do the same. Like you said, small little affirmations is fine!

Not a fan of Guard? I rather liked it myself, it was a fun little puzzle defense game!

Yep, I agree! I like Crystal Skull, but like I said, I definitely think it is weaker than its predecessors on the whole. If Raiders, Temple and Crusade are all 4 or 5 out of 5s, Crystal Skull is like a 3 lol.

no i think i agree with you on this point! as cool as the jungle cutter chase is conceptually, it does feel kind of empty compared to Indy's other motorcade chases. the motorcycle chase is much better by comparison.

It makes sense when you look at Imamura's art specifically. Everyone in F-Zero is sexed up as hell too lol. I guess there was also Samus, but she's kinda regarded as an outlier among the "Nintendo ladies". Imamura's style just kinda flies under a lot of people's radar I guess lol

I'll check my blurays (they're the 2020s Skywalker Saga editions) and see for myself and let you know!

its kind of funny how the most well documented movie production in history creates some of the biggest misconceptions about itself rofl
but the fact it has been "Episode IV" for so long and every theatrical re-release is probably why so many assume its been there since 1977.
