My tears still flow for Mega Man Legends 3. They may never stop.

Isn’t like half their defense on IR?

Genuinely crazy he isn’t in yet, he should be a shoo-in.

Just saw Tune was just a 2 point sneak nvm

Still have no idea how they sent McCoy back out there, even ignoring the awfulness with that concussion he was clearly so out of it he couldn’t really play.

(And yeah, I would not say the Ravens have been dirty this year either)

A DIKE? OH NO!

I just wish stuff like Madden was better. The gradual stripping of features from Franchise Mode, my favorite part of it, means I enjoy going back to Madden 07 to 11 or so instead of the new games. :(

Best voice acting

So I still don’t get why they started Tim Boyle and not Trevor Siemian.

I’m not saying Siemian is especially good. I am saying Trevor Siemian had 11 TDs in 2021 and Tim Boyle has had 15 touchdowns in 4 years of college and 5 years of the NFL combined.

It’s worth noting that at the time, they weren’t seen as a mediocre team per se. They had been one game from the Super Bowl 2 out of the last 3 years and a lot of people felt if their offense could just get together they might push over the edge. The defense fell down in 2011 but it seemed like a one year blip. So it felt more like the bottom falling out on a true “what if” team, since despite having guys like Mark Sanchez at QB they were one score from the Super Bowl. Rex Ryan was a hot commodity with a fiery personality who talked trash and beat Brady + Bill in the playoffs (which also made the butt fumble game some sweet revenge for some people). Stuff like that.

As someone who watched it, a big reason is because of the timing. The Patriots went from 7-0 to 28-0 within a span of a minute, got a touchdown early, Jets fumble right at the three yard line, two plays later Mark Sanchez runs into his own lineman’s ass and then the very next kickoff is another fumble that gets returned for a touchdown.

Sanchez had always gotten criticism (because he was Bad) but could shield it by saying he won in the playoffs. That game essentially signalled the end of an era of hope for the Jets with their strong defense as Sanchez became too much of a liability to actually win despite their amazing defense and then went on to only have one winning season and 0 playoff appearances since then.

Combine that with the fact that a player running into his own offensive lineman’s ass and fumbling is funny and you get something that both serves as a representation of a moment in time, when the Jets lost all hope, and as an inherently funny play.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 3 pls…

“Elder Millennial Gamer” sounds like a boss name.

In addition to the advice in the edit, I’d recommend sometimes just taking some time off from gaming. I find that if I get in a mire where I can’t seem to get it going, just taking a month or two to focus on other hobbies refreshes me going back to it or gives me clarity of focus.

What kind of games do you enjoy?

I REMEMBER THAT GUY! It was soooooooooooooo annoying. I feel like a Ubisoft conference had one dude also go way too hard on every reveal too IIRC

Oh GOD I remember that! And the reveal of it as a gift with the ugly art on the front. Had a friend who was memeing on it from the start, felt so exploitative:

“Hello there vagina-owners! Are you tired of being told you make less money than men every day by social media outlets? Well we have just the solution for you!” “Reskinned Monopoly!” “That game nobody plays anymore and everybody hates because it’s miserable!” “Now branded for Women™!”

Follow by a “Actually who the fuck are they marketing this toward”.

Reminds me of when they tried to say the Arkham Knight was a totally mysterious, Never Before Seen villain before release lol

Yeah Earthbound’s english advertising campaign was extremely perplexing. So much focus on Master Belch too.

This is a pretty good response for the double whammy.

A GUY OF LOYALTY!

Why does the reveal zoom in on his opponent and not the revealed guy?

IIRC Conker was supposed to be more of a traditional cute platformer and then they rebooted it halfway through development.
