When you are little, you don't exactly have much access to a lot of video games. As a result, you tend to appreciate the games you already have. When I was in first grade, all I had was a Gameboy Advance, a Nintendo Wii, a Playstation 2, and a Nintendo DS.

I still have my Nintendo DS collection, and my 3DS is able to play all of those games. My Gameboy Advance is still going strong, but my Nintendo DS broke a long time ago. So, thank god for 3DS Backwards compatibility. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Black, SoulSilver, Platinum, Chrono Trigger, Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals, New Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy IV, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks were actually all I owned for the Nintendo DS.

My Playstation 2 collection also had only a few games. The First 3 Devil May Cry games, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake eater, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts I and II, and a... Bee Movie video game.

One day my dad sold my Playstation 2 and got a non-backwards compatible PS3. This kind of upset me, but in the long run, due to HD releases of those games, and the fact that Final Fantasy IX, VII, and Metal Gear Solid were all actually Playstation 1 games, It wasn't that big a loss. Final Fantasy X was rereleased on PS3 as an HD Remaster, and this time I managed to get my hands on X-2. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3? HD Collection, which came with the Substance and Subsistence packages, and Peace Walker as a bonus. Devil May Cry's 1-3? Devil May Cry HD collection. Although 2 was nothing special, It was still a childhood favorite. Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2? Actually it was 1.5 and 2.5. The Only game that I never managed to get back was the Bee Movie game, but let's be honest: I never really cared about it in the first place. Who would?

Love Island is the show that finally destroyed my image of British People as Posh, elegant, finely dressed folks.

It's also really damn terrible. I would not rewatch this show if you paid me.

So, they say they will be having a Nintendo Direct in about 70 minutes.

It's focused mostly on Indie games, but I'm just tuning in because they might reveal a new fighter in Smash Ultimate.

Unless some game catches my interest with good cinematics and an interesting concept. Or an interesting Art Style and animation.

I tried playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky again.

Does anyone realize that Dusknoir's entire reason for being a villain is ironic? He's a ghost who's afraid of death.

Pretty clever if you ask me.

"I came to get rid of the nightmares I've been having for the past 3 years"

"The Nightmares? They never go away. Once you've been on the battlefield, tasted the exhilaration, the tension... It all becomes part of you. Once you've awakened the warrior within... It never sleeps again. You crave ever bigger tensions, ever bigger thrills. As a mercenary, I think you'd have realized that by now. You care nothing for power, or money, or even Sex. The only thing that Satisfies your cravings... is War. All I've done is give you a place for it. I've given you a reason to live."  

"I never would have made you for such a hypocrite..."

"You saw those children, didn't you? Every one is a victim of a war somewhere in the world. And they'll make fine soldiers in the next war. Start a war, fan its flames, create victims... then save them, train them... and feed them back onto the battlefield. It's a perfectly logical system. In this world of ours, conflict never ends. And neither does our purpose... our raison d'etre. 

"So there's plenty of Job opportunities... Is that what you're trying to say?"

"On the battlefield, you and I are valuable commodities. But back "home", we're nothing but dead weight. If we're lucky, we might get the attention of some two-bit journalist from a cheap tabloid. You and I are doomed to remain here until we die like dogs on the battlefield."

"I've only got one fight left. To free myself from your grip, to rid myself of these nightmares... I will defeat you!"

"It doesn't matter who wins here. Our fight will continue. The loser will be liberated from the battlefield, and the winner will remain. And the survivor will live out the rest of his days as a soldier."

"It doesn't have to be that way. I'm not like you. I love life!"

"Very well. I'll release you from your suffering. As your former commander, I'll do you one last favor, and put you out of your misery."

"I don't need anymore favors from you!"

"Really? And just how do you expect to beat me in your condition? With no Weapon?"

"Never give up. Fight until the end. Always believe you will succeed, even when the Odds are against you. Those are your words."

"Even I make mistakes from time to time. This will be our Final Battle... Let's end this once and for all!"

This Dialogue is from a video game. Guess which one.

It's surprisingly deep and philosophical for a Video game... I'll leave that as a hint. I purposefully omitted names and places to make this harder to guess.

So, lets say Square Enix gives you full creative control of Final Fantasy XVI.

How would you do it?

So, I think Fire Emblem Fates had three pretty trashy stories.

But if I were to make the next Fire Emblem, I might use the neighboring empires thing as a part of my story.

Instead of Nohr being evil and Hoshido being good, I would have tried to write the two empires to be a moral gray. That way, there would actually be a choice.

And, because I have a thing for Student and Mentor dynamics in stories, I'd have the Main character have a predecessor that had to make the same choice... 6 years before. Let me detail it: The MC always makes the opposite choice of the predecessor. The predecessor's backstory is that she made her choice, and later she offered herself up as a POW to the opposite side, in exchange for peace between the two empires, which was ultimately futile, since the peace... did not last. The MC is on the opposite side, so he will meet the predecessor due to some plot point (I really don't want to go with the whole "chosen one" thing, since its really overused in stories like this). After a quest involving using magic to return the predecessor's strength (Because being imprisoned for six years can take a toll on a person's physical and mental well-being) and freeing her from Imprisonment, the two start working together for some other cause. The Predecessor then helps to guide the MC (who barely has any combat experience) towards becoming a better soldier and teaches him how to use his tools and surroundings properly and effectively.

I also want to erode the common Anime Tropes with considering our two main characters. No Yanderes here.

I'd also put more emphasis on cinematics, because I am a huge Metal Gear Solid fan.

In my opinion, Heihachi and Raiden are the only Playstation All-Star Battle Royale characters who have any business in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Heihachi was actually briefly considered by Masahiro Sakurai himself, but was passed over in favor of Pac-Man as a representative of Bandai Namco.

And Raiden is the adoptive nephew, protege, and number one fanboy of Solid Snake, a character already in Smash Bros Ultimate.

I hate Life is Strange.

I hate the Story and I hate the characters.

The Dialogue makes George Lucas look good at writing dialogue in comparison.

I know, you don't necessarily have to have a great narrative in order to have a great game, but with a game type like this... I think you actually have to focus on the narrative, as that is what the game is mostly about. When you focus on narrative, and fail horrendously, It really hurts in these types of games.

If I ever direct and write a video game that's heavily narrative focused, then at least I know what not to do. But It will probably be action-Adventure anyway, with third person shooting mechanics and impractical overly flashy swordplay.

Truth be told, I forgot this Anime even existed. I watched it first when I was twelve.

Recently, I rewatched all Four Seasons of the Original and the Five seasons of Brotherhood over the summer.

And I remember why I liked it. This Anime had an awesome world, a cast of compelling characters, a great plot, a great english dub, and awesome animation. I don't think there is a modern anime that even comes close to this in terms of quality.

The Fourth opening of Brotherhood is the best of the Brotherhood openings. The Animation is fluid, and the song sounds great despite being Japanese and making me feel like a weeaboo. In addition, I really like it when characters stand back to back, like Alphonse and Edward in this intro.

I think this Anime deserved all the acclaim that it got.

I tried to play Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

As someone whose first RPG was Pokemon Red, I can say that Mystic Quest is not a good way to introduce people to turn based RPGs. Pokemon Red may be glitchy and broken by today's standards, but it still does the job of being an introduction to RPGs well. It's simple, and kids will get it, but the depth is there if you really care about it.

I think turn-based RPGs are an acquired taste, and not everyone is going to have as much fun as me in scrolling through a menu and choosing attacks. Mystic Quest is not a good way to gain that acquired taste.

Pokemon Red led the way for bigger things, Like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasies 1-10 (But especially 7, since I played that one as a child on a PS2, and it remains my favorite). I don't think anyone would be interested in turn-based RPGs after playing Mystic Quest. And that's a shame.

What is the worst JRPG ever made?

The most interesting exchange in Pokemon Reborn ever:

TITANIA: Are you two working together?

LIN: Aren't we?

Top ten Anime Plot Twists.

So, I downloaded a bunch of PS1 games for my PS3, as well as brought out the disks of PS1 games that I already own (which is only 2 of them: Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII).

Honestly, the PS1 control scheme is kinda outdated and archaic. Who uses "X" as the cancel button anymore? In modern times, it's usually "O".

It in no way detracts from the quality of the games I played, but muscle memory kinda means that I screw up navigating the menus sometimes.
