My rankings of Bandai Namco's Tales of series (So far): Symphonia, Phantasia (SNES), Dawn of the New World.*
*=I know that people will hate me for saying this, but this is not a bad game.

Yeah, the PS2 version is bad. I heard it was bad when it released in ~2004 or so, but then I actually bought it in 2009 when I moved to Japan. It runs at half the framerate of the Gamecube version with additional framerate drops on top of that and super muddy textures. I think the reason that they ported the PS2 version was because of all of the extra stuff that they added in that version. I can't think of any other reason why they would choose that version.

I know that I've said this numerous times on various websites, but I find Final Fantasy VII to be pretentious, poorly-paced, convoluted, poorly-written, and boring. On the other hand, Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is still excellent to this very day.

The Genesis Port of Dragon's Lair has finally been released, and with bug fixes:

Dragon's Lair (Proto) Fixes by Master Linkuei.ips - Google Drive
Still better than the Super NES version of Space Ace.

@bent_pin Romhacking.net has a patching utility that can be used.

For those who remember The Neverhood:
and Skullmonkeys:
Memo to Electronic Farts: Maybe you should just sell the rights back to Doug TenNapel if you aren't going to use them?

Spy vs. Spy x Family:

For those who grew up with Rainbow Brite, or had friends, sisters, nieces, or cousins who did:
Hallmark just couldn't recreate the success of the '80s original. I will say this in defense of the Dynamite comic: Brittany Williams' artwork was excellent, but wasn't well received in the writing department.

Unpopular and Controversial opinions, Volume 15:
-Link's Awakening is still the best 2D Zelda.
-Outside of Stiff, inexpressive animation, the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon has aged well.
-I don't think the Intellivision Amico deserved to be cancelled.
-If Square Enix was serious about turning a profit, one of the first things they should do is stop following trends into a minefield.
-Micro Cabin was the best third-party developer for the 3DO.
-Nightmare Busters was the closest thing to a Super NES Gunstar Heroes.
-The Slayers deserved better than to be DLC for a gacha game.
-Deep Fear's US release didn't deserve to be cancelled.
-Oliver Stone peaked with Scarface, and hasn't produced worthwhile since.
-NightCry was the worst game from Team Silent's alumni. (Yeah, they went to work on that after leaving Konami.)

I agree! The game (DX on GBC in my case) just hits every note for me. Plays great, not overly convoluted, simple interface, looks/sounds great, lots of personality, and an expansive yet still somewhat compact game world. And it's honestly got one of my favorite plot arcs of *any* game I've ever played.

Don't you just hate it when your closet shelves are collapsing?
Memo to anyone who does closet installation: Listen to these two before you get to work.

@Random Terrain Superbly said. I am friends with construction workers and residential construction companies, and I'll share those with them.

Unpopular and Controversial opinions Volume 5:
-I think Joel Schumacher got a bad rap due to his Batman films.
-Kirby Super Star (SNES)> Kirby Super Star Ultra. (DS)
-SNK and Arc System Works should do more than just wash-rinse-repeat fighting games. (Just how is KoF 15 any different from KoF 12-14? There is barely any distinction between Guilty Gear Strive from Xrd and Overture.)
-Sonic 1 went downhill at Labyrinth Zone.
-Zootopia was the first good animated Disney feature since The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
-Strange Magic > Frozen
-Dave Chapelle is still funnier than the rest of Comedy Central. (Yes, this is including post-9/11 South Park, The Man Show, and The Daily Show.)
-Transformers: The Movie (1986) was underwhelming and dull. (Still better than the Bay sequels, but that isn't saying a whole lot.)
-CV: Rondo of Blood is the weakest of the 16-bit CastleVanias, including the Super NES Dracula X.
-Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert should go back to acting.
-
The original Jurassic Park has actually aged quite well. Too bad that the films that followed were crap from the cretaceous cloaca.
-
Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines are still my favorite 16-Bit titles in the series. (I have no opinion on the x68000 game, though.)

Are there any underwater levels that you guys don't hate?

Soundgarden's two best songs:
RIP Chris Cornell.

RIP Peter Mayhew from the original Star Wars trilogy.

What was the point of Children of the Corn 4: The Gathering if it doesn't have any ties to Stephen King's story and the first three films? It could have easily worked as an original title. (Ditto for CotC5.)

https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/bob-einstein-dead-76-super-dave-osborne-curb-your-enthusiasm-1203097777/ Yep, the man behind Super Dave is gone. RIP Bob Einstein.

20 Years later, Banjo-Kazooie is still awesome; 10 years later B-K: Nuts and Bolts fits the definitions of "ill-conceived" and "misbegotten."

I admit to eating octopus and calamari, and liking it.

It's a shame that most comedy these days is uninspiring, unfunny, bland, and predictable. Sure, there's Edgar Wright, but despite imposing skills, he isn't the next Robert Altman or Ivan Reitman. Luckily, I'm writing my own comedy movie.

How important is game color theory to you all?

Vintage Willys, Kaiser, & AMC Jeeps > Modern Jeeps. (To be fair, the modern Wrangler and Gladiator have more leg room.)

Am I the only person who is in the middle on the Speed Racer movie?
