  1. This hit me right in the "where's the green giant from the Planescape: Torment 98 promo trailer?" when I watched it.
  2. I think for the other sports titles the extra characters were free updates.
  3. Part of why I like Chrono Trigger is that game+ made it so replayable. I could pick it up and finish it in a weekend and hit some great story highlights, which I really couldn't do in FFIII or Shining Force or something.
  4. Well if it's any consolation. She may still not make it in!
  5. The doesn't necessarily mean she isn't in it, though. She could be a characteradded after launch, or a character who is still in development. 10 characters seem awfully small for a roster.
  6. Is she not in it, or is she just not in the announcement footage? Mario Tennis Aces had 16 characters at launch (ending with 30) and Mario Golf Super Rush also launched with 16 (adding 6 so far). So I'd be surprised for Strikers to launch with less than 16. From the trailer for Strikers, I only see 9-10 characters on the field (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi. Boom Boom(?) I think is the goalie, who appears to be computer controlled so may not be a player option, hence the 9-10).
  7. No I heard it before. Thankfully I'm a subscriber to 'the author is dead' line of thinking and thus what they discussed making the film or even what they intended is really irrelevant to me.
  8. I liked it. It wasn't Chrono Trigger level of good, but I enjoyed the game a lot. But it was more about the journey than the destination I guess. I'm really excited to play it again and to play the alternate reality Radical Dreamers text game that was never released officially outside of a small Japanese language platform. ****** The Search for the Developer of Aquaventure Apparently the new Atari is trying to find out who, at old Atari, created the game. **** Edit - also from the Nintendo Direct:
  9. Ghostbusters sales reel made especially for Showest:
  10. https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/athribis-0016370
  11. Its funny, until the internet, I always assumed that scene where Marion confronts Indy in the bar meant a late teen Marion (based on the actress's age) had a crush on Jones and he used her interest to get access to her dad and that's what their ultimate falling out was over, not that she was 12 and he was whatever and they had a sexual relationship. Then the internet happened.
  12. I always find it positively fascinating that parents and politicians push for requirements to become a teacher (6 years of school, plus student teaching hours, plus certification, plus background check at least) but then will turn around and immediately follow the suggestions of people (often the same parents or politicans) who have none of those things over the suggestions of the people they've certified to teach. That's not to say that there are teachers with bad ideas, but there is usually a mechanism within the educational structure to deal with that. The general wholesale "when in doubt, throw educators under the bus" strategy is positively baffling.
  13. I really liked Ex Machina and Annihilation, so I'm interested in this one greatly.
  14. Eh, that's not really a challenge. 327 episodes at ~44 minutes per episode is 14,388 minutes of programming, but 20,160 minutes in a two week period. You should be able to get 6 hours sleep a day and accomplish the mission. Wake me when they try and watch Dark Shadows in two weeks (1,225 ~25 min episodes) and its only 6 years of television!
  15. Based on the article, he isn't terribly picky and likes younger men too. Yeah, its a vast scale to think of the events he 'lived' through (even though generally speaking he wasn't actually there, its just that's a lot of history). I also thought it was fascinating (dunno if it was this article, or another I read on him) that the reason so many of these Tortoises were given as gifts is they were easy to keep alive and they were stackable. the idea of a ship's hold stacked with turtles is just wild.
  16. I thought Jimmy Carr's whole shtick was being borderline offensive and dancing around the line.
  17. Lets discuss the topic. Neither the sartorial splendor of our various outfit choices nor our decisions regarding where to post or things like that are the topic of this thread.
  18. Yeah it was an awkward capture from an awkward piece of animation. At least they didn't make it look like Sandra was ogling his crotch in the split scene. Oh...wait a minute...
  19. My niece gave us a recipe for apple-chicken curry some time ago, but my brother who is not a fan of chicken decided this time to substitute paneer for the chicken. It was an alright substitution to me. He loved it as he didn't have to eat chicken. My dad ate it and said it was okay, I'm not sure he's ever been much for curry though.
  20. Supēsu Kobura aka Space Cobra aka Space Adventure Cobra Episode XI "Suna no Wakusei Zadosu" aka "Zados, the Sand Planet" Naturally, things don't go as smoothly for Cobra & co when they get to Zados... All the pieces are in place for this story-arc's finale, a final confrontation with Sandra where Cobra doesn't dare pull out his psychogun lest the Ultimate Weapon copy and exceeds it's power.
  21. Jack Reacher is the really tall one, apparently (if the comments about the Tom Cruise Reacher films are anything to go by).
  22. Translated with an online translator, so I make no claim to accuracy, as I don't know the language personally.
