Ah, yes. The Spike Spiegel wing.
Edit: Where are my manners? Let's throw Vash the Stampede in there too. Not enough love for Trigun these days.
Hell. Yeah. Arthur was the greatest.
Just look at that little guy, posting up in the HUD and crackin' wise.
FINALLY! SOMEBODY ELSE!
I FINALLY FOUND SOMEBODY ELSE WHO REMEMBERS AND CELEBRATES THE JOURNEYMAN PROJECT TRILOGY!
I'm sorry, I'm just...I'm very happy for this moment.
Legacy of Time was far and away my favorite, but the entire collection is a fun and satisfying playthrough. Great atmosphere, clever puzzles, and loads of 90s PC gaming cheese and charm.
Long live Gage Blackwood.
As a lefty and a lifelong Zelda fanboy, I will never forgive Nintendo for taking away our best representative.
After "fear of getting ridiculed or mocked" I'd also add "or told you're going to go to hell."
Ugh.
"Sweet deal."
The near-blinding kaleidoscope of lights and color faded to blackness as my virtual reality headset powered down. Pulling the headset away, I yawned and blinked, my eyes adjusting to the LED lighting that bathed my gaming space in neon. I fumbled to turn off the lights. Many colleagues of mine had taken to configuring such devices with voice recognition and control, but truthfully, I was too uneasy to do so myself, fearing who might be listening on the other end.
I checked the device in my pocket for the current time. Damn. Later than I hoped.
I walked sluggishly away to bed, punching buttons on the slab in my hand until alarms were set, calendars were reviewed, and quiet again took the space.
Crypto-whatsit? Is that something from one of Bobby's vid'ya games?
It's a new form of money, Hank. VIRTUAL MONEY.
Well, excuse me, Dale, but here where I live, in the REAL WORLD, we already have a perfectly fine money. It's called AMERICAN DOLLARS and it works just fine, I tell ya h'wat.
You say that now, Hank, but wait until the cyber-swarm-uprising of 2034 comes and replaces your precious "real world" with a virtualsphere so indiscernible from what you think you know as real! Wake up and see what's coming on the horizon!
Can you see me kicking your ass on the horizon?
Elder millennial here.
"When life promises you lemons as a child and drills into your head the importance of preparing to make lemonade because the lemons are coming and you've got to be ready and get the sugar and the water and the ice ready because you're totally gunna get those lemons and have a lemonade-based future of stability and fulfillment and happiness, prepare to be blamed when the lemons don't arrive."
Oh, don't mind him. He's just going door to door, asking people to join his religion.
