chat were those squares on the ceiling always there?

people were picking the wrong teams on the character select screen because even that had like 80 frames of lag

i hope whoever had the idea to let tri-ace to make a tri-ace ass final fantasy game is having a phenomenal day

The original release of this game, Battle On The Edge, had one of the coolest first stages ever. It was a biodome with a really high glass dome with a jungle section with waterfalls and stuff behind it. It was beautiful, like one of those fantasy tracks from SCUD Race. They completely removed it from the updated Power Edition from the game, I guess to make it look more like Daytona 1. It is a huge downgrade. And that's the version that made it into Yakuza! No one's getting to see the Biodome!

Bring back the Biodome you cowards.

i've been listening to the same mp3 of "keep it coming" by nate dogg for 20 years.

imagine being the programmer who had to design the pass plays for this game. i wouldn't even show up to work.

EA wanted to take the series in a new direction, but only made bad decisions. all the personality and dialogue from the original characters have been removed. the game runs at half the framerate of SSX3 and Tricky. the monster tricks break the flow of gameplay by introducing slowmo and turning the camera so that you can't see the ground beneath you. there's like 2 diplo songs on it. every aspect of the game is a downgrade from the masterpiece that immediately preceded it, and yet it's still an arcade snowboarding game that came out after everyone else had abandoned the genre, and that in itself is a damn triumph.

chat, he thinks the "coin flip" is real. he thinks it's real. chat, he doesn't know.

Dual Wield + RapidFire is so good they just made it Bartz's canon special attack in Dissidia.

No rushdown allowed. Only poke into sidestep.
Never put a meterless "kill all the momentum of the match so both players can watch a cutscene" button in a fighting game.

looks like we got ourselves an old fashioned Sega Rally Championship

the group Canary Club did a live version of Fan Club at a concert, where they sang the song and the audience did the "hey hey hey hey" monkey claps. they were performing the first mix, but if you watch the video and turn the volume up, you can just make out the handful of people in the crowd doing the "ooohhhh hey hey" from Fan Club 2.

the perch goes here. the clam goes there.
