And once news stopped covering it, that’s when shit hit the fan.

And they’ll probably be killed and that’ll be that. Yay, China… /s
Which they most likely will, just won’t say anything.
In the Video Game Business, it’s not estranged to find video game companies doing casino things. Konami doing pachinko for example, which lead to them pissing a lot of their IPs off to pachinko machines that were themed.
Hell, Nintendo licensed to Konami to do Mario Roulette which is a medal game.
And they totally wasted a new Earthworm Jim game on that thing.
But yeah, Tommy Tallarico had a personal vendetta with Pat the NES Punk for a while, taking swipes at them as he was covering the whole issue on his podcast the CUPodcast. It’s a really wild ride from beginning to end, if it ever did end.
Which is hilarious because they were both part of the reason the video game market crashed back then.
They’ve been this way since the late 90s and 2000s. More publishing than doing. Sometimes they’ll throw out a Atari Classics compilation but that’s it.
Google search needs to just branch itself off into several micro-search engines. It is useless as a general purpose search engine.
Again, try searching ‘skillet’ and you’ll get more results on the band with the name than the pan itself. Make a media-based micro search engine where it’s nothing but music, movies, shows .etc
But as big as Google is, they won’t do it.
And that is when you start seeing pockets of people defend their favorites. Very hard to gauge.
But I don’t see a lot of people defending the Castlevania games on the N64. If you were expecting Castlevania to hold up to it’s legacy if you picked N64 over PS1 back then, you were in for a world of disappointment. And there were no released Contra games for the N64 either, there was a canceled title, but no known releases.
There’s a point here. The N64 too had a significantly lower count of games than the PS1. The PS1 had like three times larger the amount of games with 1,278 than N64. So there was a lot more options to pick and choose from. And there were definitely superior versions of some of the games listed.
But it is sort of like the Genesis vs Super Nintendo comparison. People can list banger after banger off of the SNES library that it easily fills a Top 50 list, whereas people can list maybe 20 good Genesis games? So I do believe that’s where a lot of the favoritism stems off from is that, Nintendo had to make their games good for the N64, least the first party titles. Everything else off of it were really more misses than hits, you probably had 10 underrated gems that people now talk about (and pretend they always were that when nobody had a clue back then).
What turned me off from multiplayer games was the entitled obnoxiousness of the other players. Playing with others is cool for a few minutes, but if you run into several shit players, ruins everything. This is when the whole “if all you find are assholes, you must be one yourself” rhetoric does not apply when it comes to multiplayer games. People just choose to be bastards.
I remember how many damn licensed games came out during that period. There was just almost a game for everything, it was nuts.
American Choppers had a game. Hannah Montana had several. Let’s give Dukes of Hazzard a game, let’s give Starsky and Hutch a game. Do they have to be good? Nope, they never were but let them be a thing anyways.
You know, people keep asking what America is going to be like 10, 20 or even 50 years from now.
I’m going to tell you that we’ll have some of the most spottiest blotches of our history. It’ll be rooted from the times and events where extremely aggressive opposers to generally anything intellectual have gone on crusades to undermine anything they think is a huge problem, like scientists.
This will be our Burning of the Library of Alexandria. We’ll just have inconclusive data to our researches because of politically charged people.
Automatic shot down commencing.

The parents knew for years how bad things have gotten, wasn’t there a shred of a thought in their shallow brains that could’ve told them that if they called the cops that it’d escalate to this? No?

Dude, this shit is so outdated now it’s not even funny. We knew it was Osama. We knew he operated in a terrorist network which is pretty damn broad over in the Middle-East as that’s been their issue for quite some time even back then. Of course there’s going to be some complicity and those helping eachother because of whatever code they function under since they’re a terrorist network.
Of course George Bush was a fucking idiot along with Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney and every other war-mongering shithead in that administration who simply wanted to go to Iraq anyways as a make-good because they derailed their primary objective. Can’t find Osama? Get rid of Saddam, why not, it’ll make for some sugarcoated sounding progress. All the while, let’s tank the fucking economy while we’re at it. Oh and get rid of some American lives who were just thrown into this makeshift war too.
Shit, we knew there was some level of complicity with the 1993 WTC bombing attempt. Almost nobody talked of that. Big fucking clue there!
The Middle-East is seriously corruption central, there’s barely any resemblance of dignity over there. We shouldn’t have been surprised of anything fucked up that ever happened while in there and around there.
They are populated by a lot of misogynistic and sexually frustrated guys trying so hard to overcompensate what little manliness they think they have. The kind that think it’s OKAY for THEM to cheat but not the other way around.
There was a dude from TikTok recently that’s going to get sentenced for life for murdering his wife and someone she was seeing. His reason? He tried using provocation and his emotional instability as the reason. Like, fuck you dude, you’re insecure and you didn’t use your brain power to divorce and dump her but instead you got to go and kill her?
Now imagine that shit amplified if Republicans or Trump get into office. Women left and right would not only be imprisoned in relationships or even marriages to guys that presumably lied about themselves to get their way with these women. But now guys would have practical immunity if they even think the woman they’re dating with is cheating to kill them.
