The most perfect one is in the credits for Ocarina of Time 3D.

But my favorite has to be from the Tears of the Kingdom Trailer.

It's a bit short, but there's so much passion and soul in it. The whole trailer is a medley of iconic Zelda music, and the main theme is the crescendo of it all.

It's such a weird console. It's like a prototype of the Switch that somehow was supposed to carry the company for years, yet it was designed to look like a Fisher-Price toy. The games were generally good, but it's obvious that few took full advantage of the game pad. Later on, we started to see the trend of "this game is on every console except Wii U!" The vibes were off, as they say.

Even if I wasn't a broke bitch at the time, I probably would not have picked up a Wii U anyway. Nothing about it interested me enough to think about it, and I was truly satisfied with just sticking with the DS and 3DS.

You're right. Nothing they ever do could match the magical hypothetical sequel that people have built up in their minds. The only thing Valve can do now is make new games.

It's a bit of a lost art, right? I've always been a big fan of Descent's font.

Every day is a good day to play Rollercoaster Tycoon.

No, the title does not say it all, what the fuck are you trying to say?

I see people glazing Mass Effect 2 as the best game of the series, but it has three massive flaws.

1. The hacking minigames. Every time you have to open a door or hack a data pad, you have to play the same annoying minigames. You could also include the planet scanning here, but at least you can sometimes find side missions when scanning planets. The hacking never gets interesting.
2. "Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations." On-ship dialogue is extremely limited for every character not named Mordin Solus and Joker. Garrus is a famous example of this, saying the aforementioned quote for 90% of the goddamn game.
3. Legion shows up right before the final mission. This is FAR too late to gain a new squadmate. It absolutely shafts what is easily one of the most impressive plot twists and most interesting characters, and it ruins the pace of the story. Instead of rushing off to the endgame, you suddenly have one more loyalty quest to do. I cannot stress enough how much Legion got fucked over by showing up at the end of the game. You spend the entirety of Mass Effect 2 building a team at your own pace: two waves of dossiers and two waves of loyalty missions, completed at your own pace. Then, when you've recruited all of the characters and made all of them loyal, you suddenly have a completely new surprise character recruitment and loyalty mission.

It's pretty easy to forgive the first two points as 2010s video game design flaws, but the third is a complete narrative failure. Arguably the coolest character gets almost no screen time before the endgame. Who the fuck writes a story like this? I hear people talk about Mass Effect 3's flaws (Kai Leng and the ending) but then completely overlook how much bullshit Legion's late recruitment is.

oh right. we lost.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how good the show was this year. All of the celebrity appearances made sense and were relevant, except the Muppets. Why are the Muppets still here?

It was cool to see Helldivers actually win a couple of awards. They also shadow dropped their next big update during the show, so I spent the whole night afterward itching to get home and play it.

I don't care much about the Game of the Year choices. I didn't really play any of the nominees this year, so I don't have a dog in the race.

Here are some absolute classics. Every single soundtrack I will mention is full of great music, and the links will be my favorites.

Fire Emblem Three Houses

Halo 3

Mass Effect 3

Deltarune

Pokemon

DOOM

Portal 2

Killing Floor

They're pretty bland as single boss fights, but the mech battle is pretty cool. As far as Mario bosses go, they're bog standard.

GTA6 has at least had a trailer. Half-Life 3 has been a myth for over a decade now.

It is weird that the preseason overlaps with the regular season just a little bit.

What a special day. Lots of cool entries, and an official Madness movie to go with it all!

You ought to learn to like waiting cuz those GTAV Shark Cards keep sellin'

Cow Chop had a weekly series called Amazon Prime Time, where they bought the weirdest shit that they could find off of Amazon Dot Com. It was one of their best series, and produced some truly classic episodes. This is my favorite.

Koffing is the best friend of Rocket grunts and no one else. Good luck finding in time to put it on your team.

Gen 2 was playing Whack-A-Mole with bad game design. Sure, they balanced the types, but the level scaling in Johto is a little off, gym leaders have lame teams, and too many new Pokemon show up super late. You're going to put Misdreavus and Larvitar in Mount Silver? That's the postgame's postgame!

I hope this turns into a Gentleman's Sweep.

Yep, the Stanley Cup Final matchup this year kicks ass. You have:

1. Edmonton, who has been falling short in the playoffs every year for a while, and they might just pull this off finally

2. Florida, who are tough as nails, and got there last year but got rekt by Vegas in the final

Great storylines for either team. I think we're in for a really good show.

The Second Round has been absolutely fantastic so far. Nothing but pure entertainment.

Let me guess, you were taking your time choosing and being indecisive? Because that's how I got the bad end my first time playing in 2014. Good times. I love Katawa Shoujo.

It seems to me that we're in an era where companies think they can get away with ugly-looking art styles and animation. Recent examples being Big Mouth (the ugliest art style I have ever seen) and Invincible (why even bother shading, right?), but Invincible at least can get away with it because they were allowed to draw blood.

And then there are cartoons where the writers actively want to insult the viewer, like Velma. I can't recall an era of the past where the showrunners were so keen on creating such loathsome material as Velma.

There has also been an onslaught of early cancellations, but I don't think good shows getting cancelled before their time is anything new.

There have been some good shows, like uh... Owl House, I guess. But even they had to shorten their final season down to a mere montage.

I don't feel anything. "Retro" is just an adjective to me. The games I grew up with had simple graphics compared to today. It's fun to look back and see how technology developed by comparing my retro games to today's games.

Switch kinda fuckin' rules

they call them gacha games because the minute you download them, they gotcha

It's one of those games where the modding community does a million times more work than the devs, and they carry the community.

I have 78% of the achievements in Killing Floor, and I solo'd Gold difficulty in Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. These are my proudest achievements.

My god. It's beautiful. The Red Wings are in the playoff chase. It feels so fucking good.

Every time an octopus hits the ice, an angel gets their wings.

I thought Skibidi Toilet was some tik tok bullshit, but it turns out it has a story and lore. I was so surprised.
