Hallowe'en post #7:
In Mega Man 7, if you hold down the B button when selecting Shade Man's stage (if you haven't defeated him yet), instead of the normal Shade Man stage music, you get music from another Capcom game, Ghosts 'N Goblins.

I’ve been impressed with every one of their books I’ve bought. The quality is stellar especially for the price

I really like the tension but I just think they went too overboard with the lack of resources when you have no other options once ammo is gone. Resident Evil at least had a knife and slow zombies, Cronos doesn’t mess around haha The story absolutely has me hooked even with the issues I have

I appreciate the bravery of including Mystic Quest. That game gets shit on way too much for being a beginner’s RPG like it was meant to be. Maybe not among the best in the series but it has a unique charm just like the other FF games

I’m about go through NG+ on Silent Hill and I’m ok with the combat despite its flaws. I’m halfway through Cronos but I do wish they’d patch the ammo drops because you are FUCKED if melee is all you have left. It’d less frustrating if you had better combat options once the limited ammo is gone

They shouldn’t buy any company when they regularly buy, layoff/shutdown developers, and raise prices. They made a huge bet with $70 billion (that’s an ABSURD amount of money if it’s not obvious) and it’s costing them, and worse, consumers now.

That’s so funny we took nearly the same shot. It’s a stunner on the Pro

This is the opportunity the Phantom console has been waiting for after 20+ years

They’ve run out of feet to shoot, especially after this week

I think it’s harder to remember when people weren’t raging about something

It’s definitely while supplies last and they’ll likely sell quickly with some people trying stack their subscriptions. I don’t think the price hike takes effect until November either

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters.
He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

Happy 28th Anniversary to one of my guiltiest pleasures

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero

This is an awesome game that doesn’t hide it borrowed a lot from Hades. $12-15 is a fantastic price

I don’t know what people thought, a lot of them were so focused on how they’d get CoD and other big games on GamePass that they didn’t care to think about the long term effects of an $80 billion acquisition. $20 subscriptions were not going to be around long at all, $30 is obscene

Because it’s full of shit 😀

In light of today’s Game Pass price increases, I want to remind everyone it costs $0 to sub or rate my podcast!

That’s a savings of $30 compared to Game Pass Ultimate, wow!

It’s very rare I get to see someone talk about Jade Cocoon.. that was such a cool game

Whoo, got the collectors edition! Your books are the best

Inevitable, that $80 billion they paid for Activision wasn’t going to pay itself off

This was one of my favorite box arts growing up. I only wished the game itself was anywhere near as awesome

Preliminary box art for Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge for Super Nintendo (LJN, 1992). Even though the final was done by John Romita, Sr. this prelim rendered in inks was done by comic book artists Tom Brevoort and Alex Saviuk comics.ha.com/itm/video-ga...

This year has been ridiculous already. So much to play but a 40 hour a week wrench constantly gets in the way

In Yoshi's Island, a "tongue overflow" glitch exists whereby Yoshi's tongue is able to fly away and begin gaining infinite length, overwriting the game's memory. The tongue-based corruption can have any number of effects, including skipping to the credits and ending the game.

Compelling value for already rich stockholders, layoffs for most others who are nowhere near rich. This is going to be a mess

They’re almost impossible to get because Secret Lair sells out in minutes. They used to do print to order but I guess they thought that was too reasonable. The sets usually go for around $30-40 for non-foil and I think $50 for foil sets.

Oh man, what a nightmare this will be to buy

I had a good laugh at your bolt cutter suggestion because storing it and immediately needing it is the exact same thing I did. The story and atmosphere are great, but I selfishly wish it was a little more generous with ammo. I’m halfway through and the melee is barely helpful with no options left

It’s incredible seeing how many games from my childhood you worked on. These are in fantastic condition

I hate the “game length / cost = enjoyment” trope that so many people fall on as a critical piece of their critique. Pac-Man would get the same criticism if it was a bloated game that overstayed its welcome. Turtles in Time was 45 minutes and cost $70+ in 1992.. $30 for 6 hours is reasonable.
