What the hell is up with Steam? It keeps on spitting out bogus play times for me. I certainly did NOT play 30 hours of SA 1 as I uninstalled that shit after about 4 hours (fuck that port) and I certainly did not put 29 hours into KOTOR as I only have a single save file saying I've played 3 hours.
Edit: And now its back to normal. WTF?

Schala's is of a Suikoden character.
Took me a while to find his name, but I believe it's Tir McDohl.

That was my reaction, too, when I found that out last year or so.

Well to be fair, for some reason Schala found the most effeminate picture she could of the guy.

Went to Best Buy and got to play the Lost World demo; still pretty "eh" about it.
Sonic's default running speed is great, but turning at that speed is kinda janky, and hella loose when going off a spindash. Jumping is kinda eh, too, but at least the double jump I'd better here than in Colours. Only real problem with it is that Sonic kinda uncurls at times after double jumping. The Homing Attack has WAY too much range, though. There were times that I targeted a bunch of enemies and then another one would pop far off screen and Sonic would automatically zoom towards it... and who's bright idea was it to make the kick attack the same button as the bounce? Using Wisps on the GamePad sucks, too, but that seems to be common knowledge by now. I honestly don't think the game looks that great either. Aesthetic-differences aside, the game dues run smoothly, but not as smoothly as I thought it would have. I was playing Sly Cooper 4 again and thought it ran much smoother, though that may be because the game was cel-shaded or because of the TV that was used for the demo, I dunno.
What I took from the demo was this: They decided in the change of style in order to give the players more control over Sonic, but I don't see anything in Sonic's new moveset or control that couldn't be done with Generations' style of level design, so why did they change that?

SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #32
Song: Tails' House
Game: Tails Adventures
Composer: Kojiro Mikusa
Short and sweet today. This one reminds me an awful lot of the saccharine, lullaby-like quality you hear in the early music in Pokémon Red/Blue, particularly Pallet Town and the Pokécenters. Perfect for taking a little R&R between levels.

This was always my favorite song in the game because I like the harmonization in the main melody.

One of my favorite games of the series' lesser-known titles, but the track, while good, is kinda eh. It's there. It's great for its purpose, but it's nothing I'd go out of my way to listen to.
Yeah, a lullaby is a pretty good way to describe it.
It's cute, not much more. Kinda sounds like the pokemon center theme slowed down though.
That Sonic Lost World First Play charity stream is happening, with Ian Flynn and David Oxford of Nintendo Force. They're on Silent Forest Zone 2 right now.

Haha, it does. It's good, and it doesn't really stand out (which is its intent). There aren't a lot of Game Gear bgms I like, but usually the Sonic ones are good.
You all know how I feel about Triple Trouble.
u shut ur face
For the most part, if I ever were interested dudes in video games, I generally keep it to myself cuz no one wants to hear that.
I would change my avatar, but it seems as though if I changed it, people would be weirded out. It's like the time I took the fall for qq more and took a new avatar, yet not a lot of people were taking me seriously on the basis that the avatar looked super-saccharine or they didn't recognize me without the avatar.
I swear we had this conversation a year ago and you found out that I wasn't a guy at the same time.

He did. And then he asked how many members of SonicGAF were female because he couldn't believe it.
As for Pokemon X, I'm still playing it. I just have other games to attend to. Plus I've traded with some people already. The online in Pokemon X/Y is pretty good, but it sucks that whenever you close your clamshell, online gets disconnected. Booooo.

Welp, just wrapped up that Top 100 Video Games list ya'll niggas were waiting on(in my head)
I learned a lot about myself, namely that the PSX/N64 era is my least favorite, or at least the one I revisit the least
also, pls tell me I'm not the only one who played and loved Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

Um, guys, I think I

like Sonic Lost World less than Sonic 06
But which one is the actual better game?
Box of Bunnies

It's a zero sum game to me, really.
My stance on Sonic 06 has always been that it's a busted, technical mess of a game but that there's some okay-ish Sonic Adventure style design buried deep, deep in there if you can deal with everything (though even then, stuff like the story, big empy Adventure Fields and Mach Speed Zones are bad on a fundamental design level so even if the game was well made they'd still be bad).
What it basically comes down to is that Sonic 06 is what could have been an okay game made very poorly, while Lost World is a blah game made very well. So it's not a "Sonic 06 is more entertaining through ironic appreciation" thing.
I think it's a matter of expectations, too. Pokecapn's LP hadn't be done when I played Sonic 06 but I knew it was meant to be a bad game going into it and had tempered expectations after Heroes and Shadow whereas I had high expectations for Lost World after the Unleashed->Generations run.
I also beat a video game.JC can't remember shit

Man the end of that game is weird.

Shaolin Monks is legit one of the greatest games I have ever played, and is in my Top 3 PS2 games of all-time.
EDIT: No, there's no "lol that beef" here. I'm dead-serious. Play it if you haven't and you enjoy fun. Hell, it's even bish-approved.

Rock/Dragon is a pretty baller type.
If I'd have known you can get wild Bagons early on, I would gone with that instead, but as I didn't know that Tyrunt felt like the best choice. Axew? Goomy? Trapinch? Please.
If there was any wild Dratini, things might have been different.
