Like, I think it's worth noting that for every one person who has played Doom, there are at least three, maybe four who have played Goldeneye.

Quake II didn't even ship with multiplayer maps. They were added later in a patch. I don't know how much more "afterthought" you can get. And while I don't doubt that both games were popular, it's also worth bearing that PC gaming landscape was not as large as console gaming was at that time...

Sometimes, you have a perfectly normal day in the library, and then other times, you have baby possums

The legacy of Goldeneye is twofold: (a) proving FPS could be wildly successful on home consoles, and (b) the enduring popularity of the FPS deathmatch. Multiplayer deathmatches and the like were feasible in older PC games like Doom and Quake II but they were largely afterthoughts. Two years...

With the way the Hall of Fame seems to be selecting games, it'd be hard to argue any individual game in the series had a bigger singular influence on the genre. I mean, the one exception here is of course Dragon Quest V, and the original didn't even make it out of Japan until decades later, so I...

You can find the full list of 49 here: Inducted Games - The Strong National Museum of Play Given the criteria here, which, quote: "The Strong’s World Video Game Hall of Fame recognizes individual electronic games of all types—arcade, console, computer, handheld, and mobile—that have enjoyed...

The thing to note about the Hall of Fame is that cultural impact has a much larger influence on getting in than actual game quality. Whether that's deserving of being the game that sparked the "games are art" or not is less material here than whether it was or not. That said, it was definitely...

It's a common opinion of the fan base, and it's not like I don't understand why. It's goofy and ultimately pointless. I just happened to find it entirely delightful.

It's a very fun episode, like it's very stupid but most of the cast understood the assignment

I mean the 1920's is basically where contemporary Eberron is generally set, so the aesthetic definitely works

A Guyver versus a ninja can only end in a stalemate; this has been established long ago My favorite Chuck Norris fact I've ever heard: "They say Chuck Norris has balls of steel. That's because Sigourney Weaver keeps his real ones in a jar above her fireplace."

Only a Guyver can kill a Guyver

I say the latter, but I would imagine officially it's the former

Since nobody asked, here's my top ten list of games that haven't been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame that should've been, in no particular order Wizardry (1981) - The original "Blobber" (I hate that name but apparently that's what they're calling it), Wizardry didn't have the kind of...

You're not actually supposed to say that part out loud around here, but also, yes, you are very correct.

I think it is primarily a forum-wide swear filter setting that is pre-emptively correcting other folks' swears, though I know that's a last resort and the mods generally don't like it when you do swear, even if it does end up being censored. I have, on occasion, typed out "naughty word" to...

I mean, this is only the 11th year that the Hall of Fame has been around, and with the exception of the first two years (6 games each) and last year (5 games) they only induct 4 games per year. That's only 53 games. Frogger was one of the games on the shortlist this year that didn't get...

Well, the lost civilization in this case isn't exactly ancient, it's just that The conlang in question is not only modern and from the current kingdom's neighbor to the south, which would make sense that it's found in a 8th grade classroom as the kingdom in question
