@coolboymew@mrsaturday I would agree, I liked the Adventure games for what they were (I actually think SA1 has aged a lot better then people give it credit for), and I think if they kept with that formula and refined it in interesting ways then they could have really had something there. The problem is they didn't, because they never do, every time they have a chance for redemption they squander it by chasing some new market, or try and re-invent the wheel.
@coolboymew Sega has been doing this for years. They thought they were just hiring a bunch of internet people and Rom hackers to make a side-game to shut up the old fans while they put their money and marketing on Forces, which they *thought* was the money maker. That "side game" ended up being one of the greatest Sonic games of all time (debatably better then some of the Genesis games it takes from), generated a metric ton of goodwill from fans and critics, and instead of capitalizing on this, they pissed it away like they always do. You can't. Fix. Stupid. :sega:

The Shitposter Formerly Known as IndigoTime for a traveling edition of #Indigoswax (That's the tag I've decided on to identify these stupid self-indulgent vinyl collection posts) Went to an indie record shop in a town I may be moving to soon, and found a copy of my favorite Rolling Stones album, which is "Their Satanic Majesties Request," from 1967. It's hard to pickup on the photo, but this is the version with the lenticular cover, not the flat cover from most re-issues, which is something I've always wanted. This album is often maligned, unfairly in my opinion, as an opportunistic attempt to capitalize on the success of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's, which was released earlier the same year. I don't personally agree with that, I think there are certainly similarities; they're both psychedelic rock albums, the have a simualr aesthetic, they both were a sharp change from their respective bands' previous work, and I do give the critics that "On with the show" is very much derivative of "For the Benefit of Mr. Kite;" but I feel like the Stones' record has a very different vibe and general sound to The Beatles' record. "She's a Rainbow" is often considered the highlight of this album, and I love that song, but "2000 Man" is my favorite. I apologize by the way for the uh... less photogenic record player this time, this is my old one from when I was in high school, I'll hopefully have something a little classier to show off next time. :rolling_stones:
@verita84@RealRaul@af2@flux_the_cat Yeah, that's true. I did kinda like that her whole thing was that she followed Gene purely because she couldn't let anyone else kill him before she got the chance to. Other than that she was a little flat through. I'm glad other people remember Outlaw Star, I think about it a lot...
@af2@RealRaul@flux_the_cat@verita84 This is true. I just think there's something uniquely attractive about a woman who's beautiful, stylish, intelligent, and could realistically kill me and make it look like a suicide. Guess I'm old fashioned that way.
@hakui@augustus The first three records are genuinely great Trash Metal albums, maybe some of the best of that time period (if that's the kind of music you like), but in my opinion everything after that is middling at best and trash at worst, now they're just total corporate shills.
