You know friends, if a person dines on meat so exquisite that so many willingly deprive themselves of, then he really is a member of the exclusive elite.

I hope I get Monday off.
Probably won't happen, but it's nice to dream.

The filler right before it.
Must...make...joke....but SPOILERS! Nooooooo!
The roads are closed across the city, as are the buses and parts of the subway. I couldn't go somewhere if I wanted to :lol
You could walk in the snow like a true shonen anime protagonist to go rescue the weak
On a side note Renegade Cut just did a great breakdown of Satoshi Kon, one of my favorite directors, and his work on Paprika. Makes me yearn for the days Adult Swim would air shows like Paranoia Agent.
I have also finished Virtue's Last Reward, my thoughts:

I liked Virtue's Last Reward, but not as much as the first game.
It was good, and in some ways really improved over the original game, but the story didn't grab me as much as the first did.

Oh man, I remember playing 999 and being convinced I missed a tutorial or something telling me "Press this to skip ahead."

I just started playing VLR but also started playing Life is Strange so its on hold.
VLR is probably better.

I'm gonna prepare you for something Metroid.
Life is Strange has an ending that will probably either make you say "Eh, that's alright" or "Wow that was a terrible ass ending right there."
I don't think very many people love the ending of Life is Strange. They apparently had to alter the story a bit towards the end, cut some scenes out entirely.

I pulled out the old GBA and, after I don't know how many years of being stuck in Metroid Fusion, finally beat what I believe is the 2nd to last boss.
So yay....?

The ending suffers from ME's issue, except it doesn't ignore certain aspects like ME3 did, it simply
invalidates your decisions through the entire game, making it the most pointless thing on earth to play.
I don't get why this type of story screw-up keeps happening.
Because you have a giant story written and then you have a clear ending
People need to realize- don't give players very high levels of agency in every regard and sell it as a reason to play the game if you're going to take it all away in the end.
The problem is that writing endings is hard and when you give players too much choice they expect a different ending for each set of choices. The more choices you give the more endings you need to write. It's just easier to have everything branch out from the beginning and then come together again for the end.

There's a lot of stuff wrong with Fallout 4, not just its story.
But fuck bringing back Liberty Prime. Jesus that's lazy.
Well, its story is still better than Fallout 3's...
I think this makes me laugh every time I see it.

Fallout 4 is worse in a lot of ways writing-wise though.

A valley, a mountain peak, and then the Mariana Trench.
Did it pull a Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and a kid survived a nuke hiding in a fridge?
Or is it something worse?
1 is also better than 2, which is better than 3, which isn't as good as New Vegas, but that's basically a Non-Canon expansion that doesn't count, but 3 despite its massive flaws is apparently still a better story than 4.
Wow, that is the laziest thing I have ever heard of. There's 4 factions and they couldn't be bothered to write more than 2 endings? Thank god I didn't bother with that game.

I'm sad that Fallout New Vegas is basically not canon.
It's not perfect. But it felt competently written, and it actually had DLC that was worth buying.
Also Arcade is better than all of the companions in Fallout 4. All of them.
Especially fucking

New Vegas is totally canon, theres just hardly any relation between the NCR and the Commonwealth, but the NCR and NV stuff are mentioned in 4.
But I guess it wouldn't be unlike Bethesda to finagle it around like when its revealed in F4 Jet is a pre war drug, despite the inventor of Jet being a party member in F2.

Is this real? I cant tell if it is. It feels like a joke or something.

Yes
have it come together as something that affects your endings lead up if you're going that route
Not the actual ending ignores every sense of agency because your lead up implied you'd have a variety of them.
Blargh.
