Nintendo Power Review #16 - Volume 55

I take a special trip to the Arc De Triomphe to cover the next exciting issue of Nintendo Power.

Final Fantasy Uberboss Rundown (Now with XIII and XV)

Final Fantasy is a series that has uberbosses in abundance. What's an uberboss? Not a German boss, but good guess. Anything that falls into the postgame and is (usually) more difficult than the actual final boss of the game is an "uberboss". In recent years more people have started referring to them as "superbosses", likely in an attempt to sound less German. The Final Fantasy series, in addition to brimming with androgynous girlboys, sports many of these uber/super bosses. In Final Fantasy, "beating the game" often means you're just getting started because there's usually a huge postgame where the real challenges are.

Highlander: The Series 3x08 - Obsession

Richie gets to be on the title screen of this one. Go Richie!

::evil rasp:: ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN.

Nintendo Power Review #15 - Volume 59

Nintendo Power Reviews return with a look at Volume 59. Stay hot with the Power!

Highlander: The Series 3x07 - The Lamb

It's the debut of Young Kenneth, the series' most wee immortal.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Finale - The New Postgame

Time for some postgame as we conclude the remake of the year.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Part 7 - Ask Your Doctor About PP Max

Actually, yes.

Today on Pokémon: According to reports, half of my Pokémon quit and are headed to new promotion AEW.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Finale - Turtle Rock, Ganon's Tower

THIS IS IT.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past #6 - Misery Mire, Ice Palace

You're reading the title right: I did Dungeon 6 before Dungeon 5. This is to have the Cane of Somaria for some of Dungeon 5's more tedious puzzles. Time to wrap up this game.

Highlander: The Series 3x06 - Courage

This is the best episode so far in S3. I mean, somebody got to write this episode and knocked it out of the damn park.

Mega Man X4/X5 Playthroughs

To go along with my X1-X3 playthroughs. X4 and X5 are both fully uploaded. And that's it, because the post-X5 games are kinda ugh. At least for now.

Highlander: The Series 3x05 - Rite of Passage

In this episode, we learn that The Heart-Break Dunc! Lays down! FOR NOBODY!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Cheat Run (2nd Half)

The second half of San Andreas, from San Fierro onward.

Highlander: The Series 3x04 - The Cross of St. Antoine

Today on Highlandah: Joe's Bar, Amanda returns, the guy from Blade Runner gets psycho, and other stuff happens. It isn't really a good standalone episode, but it's very eventful from an "overarching events" perspective and sets up the rest of the season nicely.

Highlander: The Series 3x03 - The Revolutionary

Today on Highlander: It's Charlie's last episode for a while, as we deal with something that would be relevant today...or any decade: Armed Insurrections. It'll be a blast!

Highlander: The Series 3x02 - Line of Fire

 Oh boy. This is gonna be one of those episodes.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Part 6 - Surf Ninja

Today on Pokémon: Sabrina, Articuno, and the ocean.

Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu, Part 5 - Let's Vamos, Pikachu (Now in Espanol!)

Personally, I'm more enamored with the smooth taste of Eevee. Them's good eatin'!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Cheat Run (1st Half)

"Who is that woman who called you five minutes ago?"

Using cheats to speed through San Andreas might hide my poor GTA skills, but it can't hide CJ's cheating heart.

Wild Arms 3, Finale - Radio Berlin

This is a cool game and a worthy PS2 RPG for the time, but it'd be so much better without all of the padding and tedious segments that it throws your way. Repeating bosses, lots and lots and LOTS of dungeons that are all kinda indistinguishable from one another... for a little while playing this I was considering going onward to Wild Arms 4 afterwards, but I think I'll call it a day with this series after this game. Loved the first two games.
