Another collection of things that made me happy recently in gaming
I got called on GameFAQs "one articulate rasta." We have a new blog title!
I like this 999 fic for its small scope, choosing to ignore VLR to deal with the aftermath of the first game for a couple of characters in a comfortable (?) slice-of-life vignette. Seeing Snake and Clover portrayed well here makes me even more aggravated that the original creators are going to compound the mistakes of VLR and fuck up Snake as well as his sister when the third installment inevitably gets made.
I'm not familiar with whatever the "YOGSCast" is, and this is another one of the "like, comment, subscribe" LPers - he even has a song at the end of his videos about it. But I've been watching the Cook, Serve, Delicious videos from this Nilesy, and he distinguishes himself by two traits: a) he's very good at just plain talking, and b) he has a relentlessly engaging and positve outlook. Also, he chose to main soup in CSD, of all things. That is hardcore.
The Soul of Dracula is an interesting fan game that poses the question: what if the Castlevania series had descended from the lineage of its arcade incarnation Haunted Castle instead of the NES classic? Like Haunted Castle, the visual style of The Soul of Dracula is grounded in dirt and mud, but it boasts an interesting variety of obstacles and careful level design and has a sharp sense of drama in a few places. That Frankenstein entrance!
Speaking of Castlevania: an examination of Pachislot laziness in recycling old Judgment footage.
I'm not sure it scans, but I applaud the effort: someone used Vocaloid to make a song about Mystic Ark out of one of its battle themes.
I'm not the biggest fan of Lufia II - I thought its story was done way better in the first game's fifteen-minute prologue - but this thread examining a ROM of the prototype is pretty good, if infested with a bit of jerkery and periodic spats over which SFAM emulator is best.
FF5 Amano artwork takes over a train station.
Bad finally, click at your own risk: not happy, but bewildered: I cannot believe someone made a porno DVD of a Flash animation of Nei seducing Eusis/Rolf in 2006.
Good finally: "I just want to play the bowling and the tennis!"
