Hot damn, Mario Odyssey looks like the Mario game I've wanted for years.

Kirby game looks rad.

Xenoblade 2 looks like just about everything I hate about anime.

The gameplay looks way more in depth and interesting than I anticipated. Not wild about the Rabbids, but I'll deal with it.

Also, Cuphead looks like it's going to be a great game as well

At this point, if it's rushed, it is entirely the fault of Square Enix, not the fans.

I'm... deeply underwhelmed by the new Chaos and Cosmos design. Compared to the more inventive depictions of them in the previous game, they look like someones deviantart OC here. Other than that, game looks good. I'm happy to see that Terra is carrying her sword this time.

In my first town of Beatlevil, waaaay back in 2003, there was a bear named Poncho who lived next to my house. As one does, I was running errands for my neighbors, and Poncho asked me to get a tape for him from Olivia (a cat). After doing that, I asked to do him another favor, and he asked me to pick up a tape for him from Kiki (another cat). And then another tape from Tabby, yet another cat. Apparently, there's nothing Poncho loved more than cat videos.

We allow attacking Mongol hordes.

Can we admit that The Miz is probably one of the best bad guys in wrestling? In an age where people like to cheer for heels, he manages to up the bar and stay genuinely villainous.

I'm tempted to make Andrew Ryan.

100% Melemele Pokedex. Sun/Moon probably has the most polished trading system yet.

One of the main reasons that I've become increasingly impatient with Square is their distant, aloof behavior towards their fan base. The constant stream of "Please be excited," messages is a signal that they expect us to be in a constant state of eager expectation without any effort on their part to make us want to actually buy their product. They seem content to have an almost complete stagnant PR and marketing towards Kingdom Hearts, and making what little information that does come out exclusive to a very slim minority of fans can only serve to alienate all of the others who would probably like to be excited, but aren't given any reason to do so. Square and Nomura need to pull up their socks if they want people to buy the game when it comes out.

I like the one where they ate ice cream. That one spoke to me as a unique and memorable scene.

Farmers and seniors If you happen to drive by Blink and you'll miss it

Keep calm, convfefe on.

Good! The shade will stop us from getting sun burn.

A bad way. Very, very bad way.

Finally watched Back Cover. Words can't even describe.

As much as I love Lord of the Rings, I don't think I'd want to live there. Pokemon sounds like fun, as wandering through the wilderness and not having a job seems to be a viable life choice there.

Huh. Both have FF VI at number 2. That's actually what I went in with to decide which list I liked better. And both kind of trade placings on Bloodborne and Dark Souls, with one being in the teens and the next being in the twenties. I'm going to have to give it to IGN for getting Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door in there.

Moore will always be my favorite, followed by Dalton.

Everyone should have a calf exercise buddy.

The ending of the 100 Acre Wood in KH2 still gets to me. Pooh trying to find a way to stop Sora from leaving again is a message that kind of becomes more poignant as I get older; a lot of the friends I've had I don't keep in contact with, and unfortunately some of them I forget. Not out of a selfish dismissal, but, like Sora, your life takes you in different directions than the ones your friends might be taking, and staying close simply isn't a practical possibility. It becomes even more powerful if you consider that Christopher Robin, who was Pooh's best friend, no longer comes to visit him, and now he's trying to come to grips with possibly losing another close friend in Sora. To which Sora offers a solution that seems so simple it might almost be considered trite, yet still offers some solace and wisdom; the idea that just because you don't see your old friends all the time, doesn't mean that they're really gone. You still have your memories, the feelings that you shared towards them, and as long as you keep those in your heart, you still possess a lasting friendship. And that's a thought that I personally find very comforting.

The Twilight Princess Zelda is probably my favorite. I like her stature, her stoic nature, and her ability to stay professional in spite of knowing better than anyone the gravity of the situation. It felt like she was more a Queen and actual ruler of Hyrule than other iterations.
