You already finished the can and then you do a review? Lmao
My wife was supposed to wait but opened it and drank over half. She loved it.
We should collab
What are you thinking?
Nice vid. Cromartie was the first anime I ever saw, def shaped my sense of humor to some degree
Ngl, when I saw the thumbnail, i thought it was just another mobile game ad. Luckily i saw "Breath of Fire"! Really wish we'd get another proper BoF game
I want both a Bof 7 (six Sadly was a Japanese only mobile game) and at least a port of the first 5. Capcom, do it!
Breath of Fire IV is within my top RPG of all time as well
No ! That's waAAAY 2 KooL ! ! !
Love the series too! Personally love 3 the most then 4 and 1.
If I managed to find 3 before 4, I'd probably agree. Sadly, it was years after I played 4 that I found a copy of 3.
Controversial take, placing 4 above 3. But you love what you love.
It's probably because when I searched for three and couldn't find it. Like the debate of FF6 vs FF7, it probably comes down to which one I actually played first.
Agreed best game of the series!
Hey man, do you think you can have better audio/music balancing in your videos for the future? Finding it very hard to hear you speak with the music so loud. Thanks
Yeah, I'll try to do better. Even when I drop the music volume down and boost my audio it seems like it isn't quite enough. I'll mess around in the editing software more.
Golden Boy in Eng dub is better than original Japanese just don’t watch it wit yo kids
I've never watched Golden Boy. I'll see if it's on any of the streaming services I have after I'm done rewatching Cobra Kai.

Huh
I…
Lol
Tbf there's always been the question weather x is stronger than y
Super Mario is massive political 😂
Pong -> Asteroids -> operation wolf -> Ps3. Yep an in depth coverage of the history of video games.
Cave painting were not political either, but later art is. The primative technology's only allow a certain level of expression.
Missile Command was about the dangers of all out nuclear war and that no matter how good you were at stopping missiles, eventually you’d run out of ammo and would lose
I can't tell if this drivel of bad satire
You're missing the point. Pong may not have an explicit political message but its development and creation is imprinted in the social and political context of the time. Electronics were developed due to the cold war, specially due to the arms race. The mass production of electronic consumer products would be impossible in a different political and economic context, starting with the fact that the whole game design (and arcade games in general) is based on sucking your coins as fast as possible, something that's only logical in a capitalist mentality. There were no Pong machines in maoist China. As for the other games you mentioned, Zelda doesn't have an explicit political message either but the implicit assumptions on sex politics is and the echos of feudal ideology are crystal clear. The idea that games like Operation Wolf or Contra don't have a clear political message of Reaganite militarism and anticommunism is laughable. Do you think that's a coincidence that no NES game has you playing as the North Vietnamese or the Angolans? Even the name Contra is a reference to a real political scandal. That doesn't mean that the developers were pushing for an ideology, it's just that pop culture reflects the implicit assumptions of the political context that gives it birth, either by upoholding or subverting them. And the claim that there were no explicit politics in games before "the PS3 era" is laughable. Metal Gear was explicitely political already in the late eighties, for example. And yes the Star Wars movies are not only political, they are as explicitely and unsubtely political as October or Rome: Open City. To be honest the whole polemic about "political games" seems a knee jerk reaction from manchildren who were to deft to see the politics in what they played as kids, and get angry when those get pointed out, specially when they have reactionary views and are challenged by others.
Tbh, the backlash is not against political themes in general but progressive agendas infiltrating fantasy and developers insulting their audience. Nobody is offended by a Capitalism vs Communism game, but woke and diverse characters forced into a beloved franchise like Star Wars which was a traditional story about good vs evil.
"Deft" means skilled or quick witted. Not sure that's what you meant.
@@die1mayer Believe it or not, but gay and black people do exist. They were working in the movie industry in the 70s and they are still now. The only difference is they are asking people to not act like they don't exist. No one is forcing you to sit and watch any star wars movie. If they are too 'woke' for you then don't buy a ticket. Same with any show.
yes play space quest 3 i enjoyed the reaganomics subtext of the two half animal nrecenaries i avoided as i escapsd the trash station
Who cares what you think it was awesome 😊 lol😊
😂
Ssooo cute ❤
Your videos are sooo funny 😂
Why are japanese companies obsessed with this body type B shit
I don't know if it's in the japanese version or if it's the English translators
I think humour is always going to be super subjective so to each their own, i personally find it hilarious. Objectively though i love that you mentioned how good the world building is. To add on to that, i love how rewatchable it is - they fill every frame with so much detail and so many wacky characters that the 10 minute episodes feel like they’re 20 minutes (in a good way)
As weird as the world is, it's consistent and the call backs from season 1 are all over the place. That's part of why I wish I liked the show more.
@@the-grabbag are you aussie btw? i can’t speak for the states but the show is huge over here. season 1 feels very australian so i wonder if there’s an aussie style of absurdist humour that doesn’t translate to everyone everywhere in the world ?
@@the-grabbag you almost have to know Western Australia to appreciate how funny it is hearing Pim’s dad complain about working FIFO
New Yorker (not city).
Dude's not played Chrono Trigger or SMRPG in a minute...
I have to disagree. I have to say this was the worst, so boring slow and really other than Kirk's growth is the only thing at all that was interesting really. I think the poor story and peace is the undiscovered country was just a cliche, there was a reason it was the last 4 was so much better even 1 was better really and 1 was boring to
you really should not give your opinion about anything.
@johnnybravado7141 🤣🤣🤣🤣 well when someone is talking out of their 🫏 I sure will bud 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree. "The Undiscovered Country" is the best Star Trek movie out of the entire franchise. An additional reason (aside from the several you mentioned in your video) is the fact that in the 1990's the movie industry finally started getting significantly better with the advancements of C.G.I. special effects (such as in "Terminator 2" released the same year in 1991) and therefore were able to incorporate those effects into "The Undiscovered Country." Keep up the good videos, and "Live Long & Prosper."
Hey! In this terrible generation of Gen Alpha, I was a lucky teen to experience that website!
I'm pretty sure I started watching when I was a pre-teen. Must have driven my parents nuts trying to talk like strong bad.
i didnt watch much of video, but i will sub for suport gl bro
😂🤭😆😏🤌🏻💇🏻♀️
Damn, Blud got that profesional barber🔥

Relatable af.
Oblivion is the best.
Everyone's got that game they go back to. For me, it's Mount and Blade: Warband. I've probably played 4000+ hours of it in my life, and the sequel was released a few years ago, but I still tend to play Warband instead when I get the itch.
My dream in life is to look and become exactly like you when I grow up
Good video
Don’t play fallout 3 play new Vegas with a mod called tale of two wastelands. I just started a playthrough of oblivion as well but I’m using a mod list called the heartlands. When you finally wanna start stealth just press Q and walk into a corner while hidden and you’ll be at 100 in now time just make sure to click through those milestones
You should check out Skyblivion
I wish I had a PC. My old one broke and I don't have the money to replace it. I've been watching the videos those guys have been posting on CZcams.
I just randomly got this video in my recommended and let me just say rather than just scrolling immediately I actually was really fascinated by how similar your view on Oblivion is like my own view! I completely agree with how in its own way oblivion is better than Skyrim! There are little things, just little things that really add character to it; the nostalgic amazing atmospheric soundtrack, the world, characters, experiences, quests. All of it! I really would like to hear more about your regards of Oblivion! Cheers!
In my current run, I'm playing as a Breton. My major skills are: Armorer, Heavy Armor, Restoration, Speech, Mercantile, Aethletics, and Acrobatics. The goal was to get endurance up to 99 ASAP to max out the hp increase. 1 hp per 5 endurance. It makes it very easy to make even a mage into a tank.
I can only understand someone liking Oblivion if they played it when they were like 11. It's not a good dungeon crawler (since there are only 3 types of dungeons) and the combat can be described as less than stellar. It's a poor RPG with mostly shallow quests and characters voiced by 5 people. And it's also the perfect case of Bethesda making their setting milquetoast and boring. Cyrodill is Generic Fantasy Land. It certainly is charming with it's soundtrack and warm colours but that's not enough to carry a game. I enjoyed both Skyrim and Morrowind far more than Oblivion.
It's probably because it was the first Elder Scrolls game I've played. Sure the world is super generic, but I loved the leveling up and the magic in it better than Skyrim. I never had the chance to play morrowind. It's on my list of games to play one day.
@@the-grabbag True enough about the magic. Skyrim simplified that along with all other systems even further than oblivion. And it's not that Oblivion was wholly unenjoyable for me, it's just after a while I ended up pushing myself to finish it by force. I like to 100% games or atleast get as close as I can but the copy-pasted caves/ayleid ruins just broke me after clearing out around half the map.
I have beed hypnotised to watch this a 100 times
Thank you CZcams for this magnificent specimen
Y'know being a dickhead isn't a requirement, you can just be nice to people
makes u wonder why nobody has tried to make another masterpiece in gamebryo like oblivion
Sorry what is this? Like ur passion for it tho
It's part of a series of absurd comedies.
Well, you nailed the absurd part at least. Don't see much comedy though.
