Ep. 265 - Starfield and Friends

Salloumi

antillese there is also the famous Monopoly Caveat (which I’m surprised nobody on the show mentioned), that the game was originally a piece of playable satire about how horrible capitalism was. Maybe we’re not meant to have fun…

yeso

I don’t remember ever encountering those made up rules. I do remember everyone always wanting to be the race car, because that was the only shred of fun possible. Moving a little race car around

pasquinelli

yeso i always wanted to be the thimble for some reason.

Thimble OP

i like the fancy hat

When you all mentioned someone being upset about you disrespecting Clockwork Knight and Bug, it was me.
You were all talking specifically to me in that moment.
I will continue listening, but I won’t be happy about it.
I will have my revenge.

antillese

mtvcribs Welcome fellow dirtbag!

I used to put the top hat on the thimble and my piece would then be called Mr. Thimble, and once he’d made enough money I would add the wheelbarrow.

For what it’s worth, the 3rd ending song for Bleach is a banger

Edit: OK fine - One Piece
has more
great ones
I guess

Edit²: based on the bottom 2 posts, I think anime OSTs of the early 2000s just filled the gap that western rock music had voided for me. Also see Hajime no Ippo, Samurai 7, FLCL and Full Metal Panic

Did One Piece get a track by Ajikan? Because Bleach got a track by Ajikan which is as good as a seal of quality if you ask me.

Syzygy

I don’t know why we’re on this subject but there are no bad Bleach OPs.

The OST ain’t no slouch either.

Syzygy Brandon in his break segment discussing the first 2 episodes of Bleach vs. One Piece said the ending theme to Bleach wasn’t great - so I took it upon myself to put in the minimal effort to post a rectification

connrrr

Syzygy The OST ain’t no slouch either.

Shirou Sagisu can make his guitar sound like anything he wants.

copySave I said it was terrible!!! And I stand by it. Of course, this means it’s terrible for me to listen to and anyone else can enjoy it and probably does.

But I find a lot of anime openings and endings extremely generic so sometimes really bad is almost better than generic.

The Bleach music is great

But One Piece still wins

DaveedNoo

im glad we all agree starfield is gonna not be good.

DaveedNoo

DaveedNoo I’m glad people are still liking this comment months later.

fivedollardare this is great!

esper Let’s predict The Game Awards

This section was like the Game Awards themselves, but in miniature. So many meaningless categories! Among awards that don’t mean anything in the first place!

treefroggy

I think the podcast has stopped showing up in my feed? will have to look into that, unless it’s been moved or somethin

Syzygy

esper

It might be prudent to include a tidy explanation of this as a show-note for a while, since it keeps coming up.

exodus

treefroggy yeah if you use apple music you have to delete the old feed and download it again. Or whatever! I don’t have apple music so it sucks that I’m the one describing this in the blind. It’s something like that!!

Syzygy it would make sense except that the people that need to hear the bumper can’t hear the show!

I would posit two as really entertaining fail states

Cave Story allows you to abandon the island and run off with Kazuma once he hatches a dragon
In AI: The Somniums Files, there’s a receptionist that your character flirts with at every opportunity he gets. You are eventually presented with one persistent dialogue option suggesting that the two of you run away with together. If you ask her 6 or 7 times, she agrees and you retire from sci fi cops in luxury.

I’ve also suggested one in the visual novel that my sister is making. The game is about working at UPS and trying to talk your coworkers into unionizing. I am trying to convince her to include a random consequence for a dialogue option where you are suddenly crushed by hundreds of boxes. The game is called Big Titty Communist GF if I can’t convince her to change it

DaveedNoo

dylanfills not sure if the name will help or hinder!
