i was supposed to finish this next chapter of fic (i'm over halfway done with the second draft) but I spent the weekend ...stress watching videos of people playing dinosaur survival games and narrativizing the gameplay like a nature documentary. Great for home-hunting anxiety levels, not so good for writing production.

Anyways, if I start playing Path of Titans or the Isle and become insufferable about it, you'll know why.

You know, I actually do think we’re too harsh on Kingdom of the Crystal skull as now that it’s been a while I think I enjoy it more than Dial of destiny. Its story and style, while not super on par with the original trilogy do feel more in line with the franchise.

Dial takes itself a little too seriously (as modern action tends to do) and spends a little too long exposition dumping on all the new charecters. Where I feel with adventure movies you really just need to drop a new character, have some dialogue showing history and that’s all you need. The more time you take to establish and explain them the more forced they feel upon a story/franchise. Does this make sense?

Now don’t get me wrong, I do wish there weren’t aliens (just a good old fashioned realistic curse or something lol) and it wasn’t so CGI heavy, that’s something I’ll give Dial it lessens the CGI or does it better. But the story and goofy vibes works— like it remembers adventure/exploration first - dial is more of a character drama. Not to say that’s a bad thing I just wish it was blended more with all the elements.

On September 26, 1983, after the crash of the home video game market, Atari buried over 700,000 video game cartridges and consoles in a landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Due to looting of the site, it was eventually covered in concrete. (Video Games, Event)

Ranking The MMOs I’ve Played

This is similar to the post I did ranking Call Of Duty games and this time I am going to be doing it for the MMOs I’ve played. This will be shorter since I’ve only played five of them, so I’ll talk a bit about what I like and dislike about each one. Three will be my least favorite and one is my favorite.

#5-RuneScape

A friend recommended I try this because it’s free even though he himself isn’t a fan due the game being too grindy. Myself, however, there were a few reason why I didn’t like this. One is that there are too many tutorials because there are too many systems in the game. Two is that everything is just really slow like walking and combat.

#4-Tower Of Fantasy

I still don’t believe that this game is an MMO but their official website labels it as an MMORPG so it gets to be on the list. I honestly just got bored of the game. It’s really just an okay game that I honestly never saw another player while I would be playing. It’s still more fun to me than Genshin Impact but I just got bored and stopped playing it.

#3-Lost Ark

If you’ve seen my recent post about this game, then you know my frustrations with it. It is a very fun game. I like the combat and I like a lot of the animations for the magic attacks. I had a lot of fun playing and wish I could again but I will not until the game is fixed.

#2-Star Wars: The Old Republic

I like Star Wars and MMOs and this one seemed all to perfect to try this one out. There’s a lot about SWTOR I like the standout has to be the dialogue options and interactions between my character and other NPCs. I love how I can be nice or an out right piece of shit to them and it’s great. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the combat is just a little slow for my liking.

#1-The Elder Scrolls Online

This is probably obvious especially when I have over a thousand hours in the game. There’s so much I love about ESO. There’s a ton of quests to do. Getting to explore all the various locations in Tamerial is just so awesome. Making a house that one can be proud of. I’m in guilds that are just great and helpful. Personally, the part of ESO I don’t like and will never participate in is PVP but that’s really it.

Hab gestern ScummVM auf meinem Tablet installiert, weil ich mal wieder Bock auf Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis hatte. Ist einfach eins meiner Lieblingsspiele, das ich spätestens alle 3 Jahre mal durchspiele. Diese Pixel-Art, die Musik, der Humor, die Dialoge, die Rätsel... ich finde einfach alles an dem Spiel gut und es ist in meinen Augen auch gut gealtert. Einfach ein absoluter Klassiker.

Habt ihr die Indiana Jones - Point-and-Click-Adventures auch gespielt? Oder vielleicht ein anderes Adventure-Spiel von LucasArts?

Archie Sonadow is the most unfairly underrated version of the ship

A while back, I did a poll to decide which was the most underrated version of Sonadow across different media, and since the public has had their say, I'm now going to offer my own take and explain why from Archieverse Pre-SGW version is so good and deserves much more recognition.

The beginning of their relationship is practically the same that in the video games: Shadow is accidentally awakened by Eggman and decides to carry out his creator's revenge against the world for killing Maria. Sonic is mistaken for the black hedgehog and is chased, which leads them both to have a series of confrontations until they reach the ARK Space Colony. There is a curious change here; since in the comic universe, Amy was involved in another separate story while the conflict was taking place, she was absent during these events but, according to Shadow's own words some time later, Sonic made him see the light, interpreting that he made him change her mind and since Rouge fulfilled exactly her same participation by broadcasting Gerald's video, it could be interpreted that in this universe it was Sonic who made Shadow remember Maria and finally pushed him towards the heroic side. Something like what happened years later in the third movie. (STH 98#, STH 124# & SU 2#)

After this, Shadow sacrificed himself and also lost his memory when he hit Mobius. From here the events differ from the games, in this version Shadow falls and is found by Sonic and the Freedom Fighters, showing himself hostile at first due to his confusion, although soon after he ended up allying with them to face a greater threat, the Alien race known as The Xorda who also planned to destroy the world in an act of revenge, which ends up being stopped with Sonic's sacrifice and disappearance that leaves everyone shocked, including the black hedgehog, because it was thought that the blue hedgehog had died saving the world until his eventual return issues later (STH 124 # & 125 #)

It's curious how, despite not remembering it clearly, Shadow during this stage showed a certain appreciation for Sonic, admitting that he is a being different from any other he has ever met. Of course, that didn't prevent them from continuing to have confrontations in their following encounters but over time, Shadow began to gain confidence in Sonic and was willing to collaborate when the situation required it. (STH 146-149# and STH 157-159#)

Meanwhile Sonic, despite their previous battles, never believed Shadow to be evil, even in the brief time where he was working with Eggman for the second time, and was sure that he would eventually do the right thing. And when that happened, Sonic supported him and helped him without hesitation to discover the truth behind his origins. (STH 160# &STH 170-171#)

After this point, Shadow became an increasingly notable ally, occasionally appearing and helping the heroes when needed, over time developing a respect and even appreciation for those who helped him become who he is today, obviously including Sonic between them.

Throughout this continuity, the relationship between the two hedgehogs had a long but natural and well-carried development, going from rivals and occasional allies to gradually forming a bond of companionship where, even if their ideals remain disparate, they have generated a mutual respect for each other and a great synergy in battle. Which is spectacularly represented in the last issue where the two interacted within this continuity, in the Sonic Universe 2#.

And is for all of this that I think Archie Sonadow deserves more love, because I dare say that it is one of the best and most complete versions of their relationship.
