I've never watched them before, but I think I'll give it a go for Streets of Rage. Though I only ever had the first one. I spent a lot of time playing that and Golden Axe.

You're in luck! Kimble's done a Golden Axe retrospective too!

I've played GA3 on that Genesis compilation they released a few years back and it's...not terrible. The graphics are middle of the road Genesis and it's nothing spectacular, but it's okay.

Kimble Justice did his Streets of Rage retrospective a little while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLPfL4jsZvg

Streets of Rage might be my favorite Genesis game series, I played 2 constantly and 3 a lot too. I was never a fan of 1, I guess the lack of enemy health bars kind of bugged me.

Oh man, I don't have time to watch this right now, but I didn't even own a Genesis and I looooooved Streets of Rage. Played it at a friends house.

Hey Sega, stop making GBS threads out stupid Sonic games and bring back Streets of Rage.

They apparently released some sort of recent Golden Axe. I saw the box in stores but didn't go near it because I was afraid. So it's possible...

I've only played Genesis GA1, and I'll admit that no matter how many times I've played it I never beat it. The last boss is some real bullshit.

El Presidente smiles upon this thread.

I had a blog about ten years ago in which I made a joke about Mary-Kate and Ashley movies. Some dude I’d never heard of came to my blog and explained (in ten paragraphs) why I shouldn’t joke about the Olsens, who were basically the embodiment of wicked capitalism because of Wal*Mart or something.

I wonder if that guy is still out there, still fighting.

EDIT: Oh, and this Olsen-related Plinkett video ties the thread together nicely.

This was a fun watch! I actually vaguely remember a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie being shown at my cousin's house when I was a kid (she was all excited about it, and I was visiting for her birthday I want to say). I don't remember making it through 20 minutes before I wasn't paying attention anymore, and I was like 7 at the time.

I'd like to point out how great it was that, after this treatise, Orson Welles took a role as a villain in a children's cartoon designed to sell toys. These are always great to watch, and always make me think.

SFDebris has a new episode up on Stargate Atlantis' Duet. It's interesting because I remember finding the episode fairly funny, but after watching his review I realize how it was actually pretty horrifying. Though I do disagree that just because the Goa'uld are horrible monsters worse than death that it necessarily follows that a similar but very different situation can't be funny instead.

A malevolent parasite and a vampire transporter accident can both result in the overpowering of your consciousness by another being, but the differences are still fairly large. Also nice of both Jack and Rodney to use the Stargate to overcome the situation. Though it didn't work out nearly so well for Kowalski and the Goa'uld when Jack did it.

I think people are disappointed because while random people might not be up on trans rights, people like Doug and the RLM crew are on the internet where there's been more of a push for trans rights and they're expected to know better. I don't think anyone is accusing them of being awful irredeemable people for this, it's just a criticism.

GBS functions as a 'safe haven' from 'SJW fuckers', who are trying to take over the internet. By saying incredibly stupid poo poo and being racist for a joke but don't worry it is just a joke how could you imply otherwise I've always known to treat people equally all my life you jew haha lol (dont worry thats a joke too), they're actually protecting our freedoms. By saying mean poo poo pointlessly, you are proving you're free, by spiting the people who want to take away your freedom to say it, even if you don't actually mean it. I say 'even if', but when you corner these people and ask them their actual politics, it's invariable been one of two things. Either 'I have no idea' or 'I think patriarchy works really well and was better for everyone, and Hitler really did have a few good ideas if you think about it'.

Translation: Sad people who are frustrated about the world trying depserately to be recognised by either saying something they don't believe as a joke, or saying something they do believe as a joke. It's the very-specifically 8chan -style mindset where freedom is the goal, but - how strange! - it appears to mostly be the freedom to talk to no end about how The Bad People are taking over.

I just now went to the regular politics board of 8Chan, and one of the top threads, the 'Cultural Art thread', is titled like so:
'In this thread, let us celebrate the Art of the Human race before it's turned into Communist Dykes making GBS threads and bleeding on sheets and declaring it to be art.'

It's an obvious thing to notice, but the thread is just a bunch of contextless old paintings. There's no discussion of what makes them good or the artist's names. It's the exact sort of art appreciation you'd expect from a tiny right wing website masquerading as the last bastion of community freedoms. The whole website reads like this, a miserable attempt to not look like what it is, by having threads purely designed to look more like a community and make a website of bitter weirdoes who can't justify their ideas in a straightforward manner easier to swallow. Nothing is enjoyed for its own sake and everything becomes about the SJWs. 'Now THEY can't say we don't do this, because we did! We're spiting the theoretical people who are foolish and stupid and yet somehow have completely taken over! Ironic Hitler Meme!'

It's a hilarious website. It's proof that the SJWs/'chimps'/dykes they fear have taken over the internet so completely that, even when the discussion isn't about them, it's about them.

I follow GamerGate to an unhealthy degree as a hobby, but Jesus Christ you should go and see a prostitute or something.

I don't read GBS obsessively enough to track responses to my posts, but it's the exact sort of behaviour I feel my post predicts. GBS is a place for free speech where we can say bad words for fun and there's no PC Police - but instead of using this freedom to be funny and entertaining it seems to be being used to talk about the people they were trying to be free of. Get ahead of the curb, gibblies! People have been calling my posting bad in this very thread for months!
