Best MGS cast was original MGS complete with vaguely racist Mei Ling for the James Bond appeal. poo poo was silly but fun.

I love how slapdash that entire setup was, most of the voice actors performed under pseudonyms because it was non-union gig and they were recording in somebody's apartment so when it came time for The Twin Snakes the original recordings were unusable because you could hear cars passing by in the background of the recordings.

Ah, The Order 1886, you win the award for most prettiest terrible game. Beat Bloodborne last weekend, now I need to get the true ending. Is a blood build viable? Should I bother playing through Scholar of the First Sin?

Good lord why are NES game prices going even higher? I only have around 30 NES game carts a very small number, but anything else I would be interested in seems to cost more than brand new games. To put it in perspective they cost more than Wii versions of the same series.

I guess I'll have to beat the two NES Zelda games with the Gamecube Anthology instead of getting the separate carts.

Granted the NES has a ton of real lovely games and games that have not aged well. I think people are buying them for the iconic status at this point. But there's a few things I have not yet acquired that were games that I rented from way back when that I was never able to buy when the system was somewhat current.

Yeah, 25-50 Bloodtinge builds are viable. The only trick weapon which actually scales on its melee attacks with Bloodtinge is the katana in its trick form so you'll want to do some Str or Ski too so you're not just a worthless dick until you get that and the good guns. Basically you have a choice between taking Strength to at least 30 and being able to use the cannon, or taking Skill to 25+ to make you better with the non-trick form of the katana and the melee part of the rifle spear and gunrapier (both of which have Bloodtinge scaling on their gunshot attacks and Skill on everything else).

The guns you're interested in are the pistol line (Pistol, Repeater, and Evelyn) which do non-poo poo damage when upgraded if you have Bloodtinge unlike the shotgun style weapons; the Pistol is fine early, the Repeater is better but takes 2 bullets per shot, and once you have high Bloodtinge the Evelyn will be the best damage/bullet ratio in the game. If you do 30 Str you also want to upgrade the cannon, which costs 10 bullets per shot, but does a loving ridiculous amount of damage if you use a Bone Marrow Ash before you shoot stuff and even more if you have high Bloodtinge.

how many threads do you guys read, people always say Games is an awful forum but I think most of the bad posting is in threads I do not and will never read because I rarely see anything particularly terrible but I only read like maybe four threads at a time (whatever I'm playing at the moment mostly)

currently playing: Hexcells, Pillars of Eternity, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Tower of Guns

I don't recall anyone doing that except very briefly or as a joke. It's bound to come up because Nintendo has been pretty big about it since Windwaker, but except on like offsite Zelda wikis, it's not nearly as commonly discussed or annoying as people make it out to be.

I don't actually know what I do on SA because I don't post on any of the forums about things I'm interested in. Like, I read and write a lot, but forums just don't seem like "the place" to talk about those things, so I just wander around in GBS, shitpost everywhere I see and wish I was funny enough to post in FYAD.
