Yes just to be clear, I am referring to the trope of Early Installment Weirdness where the first entry of a gaming franchise feels s bit peculiar because the gameplay aspects the franchise would become known for are not present yet.

Like one game that I was observing was the first Megaman game ever made as the game is interesting because for starters, there is a scoring system as it’s not really used that much in the game as it would become dropped in later games.

Sorry if this was asked here before because I just wanted to have a fun conversation on the topic here since I noticed how some film directors have a habit of doing how do I say it? Certain traits in their works.

Like one trait about Quentin Tarantino that is easily noticeable is how he likes to do violent scenes in his films, but also closeups of women’s bare legs as I know that is obvious, but I just find that trait of his fascinating.

Lately, I don’t know why as for some strange reason, the CloverWay dub was sticking out to me as I suppose it was because of how much edits there were that I wanted to basically see what was changed in the show.

I cannot remember what seasons of Sailor Moon were dubbed by them specifically since it’s been so long that I saw the English language version on Toonami as while I know that there was the “cousin” edits to hide the lesbian romance between Hotaru and Michiru, I don’t know what else was edited out of the aforementioned English dub for again the CloverWay dubbed version.

I mean, no offense because I know he sadly passed away a few months ago as lately I was wondering what a new installment of PPG would be like without Tom Kane around to voice the Professor.

It just breaks my heart knowing Kane is no longer around since he came back to voice his character in the 2016 series as lately I was wondering who could do the voice acting for the characters if the show comes back anytime soon.

So sorry if such a topic was done here before because I was really interested in getting into the comic book series to see what it was like as I have been wondering how far the North American release was to getting the series in English.

But I also want to start purchasing the series as again I would like to know how hard it will be to purchase the first few volumes since I am new to the series.

For those who don't know what I am referring to, there was a particular episode of TLH where Lori attempts to save up money for a new car as the job goes well at first for her because she is driving passengers to their destinations, but then she eventually loses her job after getting burdened with too much tasks.

It's been such a while since I have seen that episode as I did see it, but I cannot remember the name of the exact episode it happened again since it's been a while since I saw it, but for some weird reason, it just stuck out out to me as I was trying to picture a scenario where she did get the car she wanted she I wonder if she could handled all that work she took in the episode.

So sorry if it was asked here before because I was noticing how divisive the gane became among Disgaea fans that I couldn’t help but wonder about the redeeming qualities it has.

For me personally, based on what I have seen in the trailers is that it was kind of cool how the game had free roaming aspects in that players could move freely in combat as don’t get me wrong in that Disgaea being turn based is nice, but I always wanted a game where I could grind like crazy while being able to move around wherever I wanted.

Just curious as I know she lost the presidential election a good while ago as I was trying to picture a scenario where she won instead of a certain Donald.

However, what I don’t understand is what the USA would have been like if she did actually win the election back then because I was curious about her flaws as a candidate besides supporting Zionism.

Lately, something that stuck out to me were the kind of missions that have a high difficulty factor where even if the player is good at evading enemy guards, the game still punishes the player anyway through cheap design aspects.

For instance, I have heard from somewhere how the Xbox 360 version of Double Agent has nasty puzzle level where the player must solve a complicated puzzle in the JBA headquarters without blowing their cover as I don’t know how anyone got through the mission without using a guide.

Something that I was interested in seeing was what could be done with a video game adaptation as yes I know that some were made on the SNES, but I couldn’t help but wonder how a new one could work in gameplay design.

It could be a point and click adventure game like Beavis and Butthead (The Virtual Idiocy one) where players take turns switching between Ren and Stimpy to solve puzzles as that is just my idea.

I don’t know how to explain it as basically I am looking for a quirky JRPG that feels like something out of a Tokusatsu show where a group of superheroes want to be heroes, but have certain weaknesses that scare them from taking the role.

Like one example would be a character that wants to be a fearless leader in the group as he cowers at seeing creatures such as snakes and scorpions as his phobia of them scares him from wanting to be a successful superhero. Then another character in the group wants to be a respected member, but his arrogance gives him a bad reputation.

Then for gameplay aspects, I would like it to be a turn based game where the team takes turn fighting their opponents during battle as gameplay would be a lot leveling up in typical RPG fashion as the systems I am looking to get such a game on are Vita, 3DS, PS3, and PC as I just want an RPG that is basically like an outlandish superhero show, but with good writing aspects.

Yes I am referring to frozen yogurt as I apologize if such a topic was done here before recently since I was in the mood for some rich tasting yogurt.

I would like to use Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn as an example because I was just walking around Manhattan Beach doing power walks as I suddenly became interested in looking for places in the area that have good frozen yogurt available because I am looking for places that have a variety of flavors available to choose from.

Just really curious because lately I have had the first season’s theme song stuck in my head as I was trying to figure out what the song meant regarding its main character Lina.

It’s just something that I find interesting regarding the song as I know it’s performed by Megumi Hayashibara, but I have no idea what the song is about since I don’t speak Japanese too well.

So I have been reading the second installment of Bakemonogatari as I mean the second part of the first story as her presence is terrifying.

Although I am a bit confused about Kanbaru’s true motives with Araragi regarding what she wants with him, one thing that sticks out to me the most in the Bakemonogatari story arc is how Senjougahara acts because in the middle of Bakemonogatari Part 2, she attempts to stab him with a steel pencil as I have to question why he would still be interested in a romantic relationship with her again after she almost killed him.

Lately, I have been looking back at how some of Konami’s older games have had the most over the top performances in their voice acting as I was reminiscing about how wonderful Symphony of the Night was.

I know it’s been such a long time since the game came out on PS1 and the XBLA ports that I can’t help but miss it anyway because I have been interested in playing another RPG like game for having hammy voice acting.

First of all, if such a request like this one was done here before recently, then I am so sorry because lately I was interested in exploring strange fantasy where the premise is that the main character ends up on a strange alien world where the aliens have their own culture as the whole world doesn't operate on normal logic.

So far, my experience with the strange fantasy genre was the SoothSayer series by Mike D Resnick as I hope I got his name right as I really enjoyed the worldbuilding aspects of the novels such as how the eponymous female character had learned to use her psychic powers to foretell the fates of others around her as it's hard to explain, but I just really miss that series since while I did read it a couple of years ago, I was interested in exploring another fantasy saga like it.

So the backstory is that I was looking for a place online to discuss the series since I recently found a sale for a good deal on the audiobook version.

But basically I was wondering what to expect for the series since it's my first time reading it as I have no idea what the series is like since again I never read it before, but I was wondering if anyone was into the saga.

So lately, something that I found to be quite interesting was the subject of classic games that were given a harsh review as the critic was a bit too rough on the game.

Like what I am getting at is some of the games reviewed by AVGN such as Simon's Quest as I get that he wanted to be bit over the top with how he did his review of the game, but I do have a soft spot for the game, in spite of its design flaws.

Just curious to see if there is a term for when a third installment of a gaming franchise takes such as drastic approach by having a different storyline as it’s hard to explain, but it’s when a sequel feels so different in tone it barely feels anything like the last entry.

Some examples are Max Payne 3 and Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday as fans of both franchises have said that the third installment of both series felt so different that it was hard to tell they were connected to their respective franchises as Max Payne 3 for instance has such a different feel in atmosphere that it doesn’t feel it’s a Max Payne game.

If such a topic was done here before recently, I am so sorry because lately I was reading an article on a wiki about boomer shooters that didn’t get good remasters.

Some examples are Kingpin: Life of Crime and the Fresh Supply Edition of Blood 1 as basically what I was looking for was to get a better understanding of why some boomer shooters have such a hard time getting good HD ports since I want to be careful when buying remastered versions of older games.
