Re-watching Season 2 and I can't believe I ever thought it was "boring" compared to S1.

I think I was maybe a little too stupid when S2 originally aired to really, properly appreciate it. I remember wishing they'd just leave the farm and get back to all the cool stuff I felt like S1 had.

But upon Re-watching it for the first time in over 15 years I realized its definately one of my all-time favorite seasons specifically because of the character drama. Its really the last vestiges of the "early outbreak" when people are still trying to hold onto the values and ideals of the old world and work out how feasible that really is.

Dale's death in particular I feel is the final nail for that. Its the domino that really sets off everything else that goes drastically wrong in the final few episodes (though I think the other side is both the reveal of what happened to Sophia earlier and Shane's increasingly violent and unhinged behaviour that'd been building since S1).

I regret past me being so narrow-minded and not seeing the season for what it is so much sooner.

I think Halo: Campaign Evolved has the series best version of The Flood.

The noises they make, how they look and the active advancement of the infestation are all fantastic. They took all of the best parts of the main series Flood and rolled them into one.

Also I really like the >!Gravemind head you can see growing out of Keyes' biomass!<.

Will Teo air each episode on Youtube when they release?

Hey folks! New-ish Ultraman fan, excited to finally catch a season live and be able to follow along! Really enjoyed the first episode of Teo.

As the title says, will they go up on Youtube each time or will you need to rely on streaming sites?

Thanks!

What happened to the Akerbeltz in the LA?

I read some stuff online that said those that weren't driven out of the Pyrene's territory were forcibly bred with Mouflon to use as mounts by the Cambrions (with the implication they are still sapient enough to understand what has been done to them), but I can't find where in-game this is stated?

Does Haunted Castle fit into the timeline at all? Theoretically?

I just finished playing Haunted Castle: Revisited for the first time and think its up there as one of my favorites of the Classicvanias, despite how short it was. I especially loved the implied storytelling in The Creature's bossfight.

And while I understand you play as Simon again, obviously the whole thing centers around rescuing his wife - which as far as I know isn't a thing we see from him in any other games. Is it a "what-if" of his first fight against Dracula? A sequel?

So, during No Rest For The Living...

When do you officially end up in Hell, map wise? I've always thought it was by Hell Mountain (Map 4) but I can't really pinpoint a level transition that's an obvious "you're there now!" the way other maps do it.

With some retro designs still appearing in the TCG, are they still "canonical" to the setting?

Perhaps a niche question, but I got thinking while looking at stuff like the DW1 Machinedramon full art cards with the all-silver design and flippable cannons.

I know most of those designs show up very specifically in the set revolving around the Digimon World games, but the fact they're acknowledged still by the powers-that-be probably means they still have some relevance somewhere, no?
