It probably will because its actually feasible to 100% it.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Until you have a tasteful outfit/facepaint/focus color combination picked out for every possible climate in Horizon Zero Dawn, you are playing the game on casual mode.

Oh hey. I found my old GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, and Nintendo DS while sorting through storage.

The first two boot up and run without problem, but the poor DS is dead. RIP.

Sup, GBA buddy! I dug a box of GBA stuff out of storage and pulled out a SP-101 for work tonight because all phone games are garbage!*

The old hard case I packed it in only has space for two carts plus what's in the SP's slot. I brought Advance Wars 2, Tetris Worlds, and F-Zero Climax.

ToT: Did you choose the name “Jenova” for yourself or are your parents gamers too?

JC: Chinese parents don’t give their child English names, at least in the 80s. I chose it as my English name when I was still in High school. During our English classes, we were asked to choose English names. My desk-mate and I are both Final Fantasy VII fans. He’s always way into coolness and called himself Cloud. To beat his cockiness, I had to be something much stronger than Cloud. Jenova as the source of tragic in FFVII was chosen for this stupid boyhood reason.

You might want to know why I didn’t use my Chinese name directly. Well, my first name is “Xinghan”, meaning the milky way. However, nobody can remember it or pronounce it. Though I got other English name offers when I entered the US, I found there are simply hundreds Steve Chen and thousands Jason Chen. Instead of being jchen437862 on gmail, it was really a good idea to be the only Jenova Chen.

Hey fellow retro gamer.

Looks like the only GBC game I have left is Metroid II.

GBA games are Final Fantasy 1&2: Dawn of Souls and Final Fantasy V.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

I love when Windows updates, takes 30 minutes to boot up, and then I have to spend another 30 fixing all the settings it changed back to the default values.

Why is Windows 10 such a dumpster fire

Windows has a sixth sense for automatically installing unexpected updates when I'm about to give a PowerPoint presentation

It’s a pretty pointless sandbox in the same way noby noby boy was. I like that stuff just temper your expectation that it’s not a traditional game.
