[@Markimark151]

Stranger Things is kind of overrated, it's okay but it's not original and it's Goonies and Stand By Me mixed with E.T.

[@couchgamingtv9593]

I was just thinking 'bout that...odd, ehm i mean strange!

[@Skitskl33]

Matt R Nothing is original. Every story is based on something that was already done by someone else. That being said people overhype things all the time. I watched Stranger Things before people started going nuts about it, and I thought it was a cool call back to 80s adventure films. I didn't think it was the greatest show of all time though.

[@Markimark151]

+Jered murphy it's not just the story, it's just feels like the plot and cliches have been done to death. It felt too predictable and didn't get too excited when watching it. The characters were okay at best, it just doesn't look much different than the Sci-fi movies from the 80s.

[@takigan]

The Dark World Theme is probably my favorite bgm track from any Zelda game....such an amazing piece of music.

[@invisipunk]

That SNES control pad creek. Ah, memories.

[@TheBtstephens]

Honestly it’s my favorite part of this video

[@gokturk15]

best part of the video for me was them criticisizing Stranger Things.

[@gokturk15]

@@diffusewings4937 at the start of the video...

[@CerpinTxt87]

They didn't criticize Stranger Things. They criticized people hyping it up.

[@JonnyNitpick]

Those little bugs in the Thief's Dungeon are actually just called "Buzz". Creative

[@troywright359]

So you're saying there's a connection to earthbound?

[@TheSecondIDare]

Give it ten years, and James will be like; " Member stranger things..? Member 2016? Member the 80s? Member..?"

[@Ryo]

stranger things wouldnt of done as good if it werent for the 80s style

[@N3RFTHIS]

DeViiaTe that's like saying chocolate wouldn't taste so good if it wasn't chocolate

[@Ryo]

MoarPower not really

[@worufualisu5706]

yes really

[@Ryo]

trying to grasp how that even makes sense. alot of people watched it because of the 80s nostalgia it had. if it was set in modern time it probably wouldn't of done AS good

[@worufualisu5706]

if it was set in modern times then it wouldn't be stranger things

[@GunsGirlsGames]

For some reason that mirror sound effect when you switched dimensions always freaked me out when I was a kid lol.

[@cipherdourdan2328]

Mike, pls livestream zelda:seasons, beat it and then play zelda:ages with James for extended content.

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

I'll be trying to live stream more once I finish this animation project I've been doing since July. Thanks for watching! -Mike

[@homerbart5489]

+Cinemassacre Mike, have you heard about the new Friday the 13th game, coming out on friday the 13th next year in October?

[@jordamp]

^ this would be awesome

[@JVenom]

Yeah you and James should def do Ages/Seasons eventually. Those are great games. Def some of my favorite handheld versions from that era.

[@LianRozen]

Cipher DoUrdan meowwwwee!

[@MegaAedu]

Wow James is actually shedding a tear at 17:24 because of the story of this game! Link to the Past is really intense!

[@airborne101st45]

No he didn't.

[@darthhole6818]

lol, you troll

[@RothurThePaladin]

I'm sad the hype train killed your enjoyment of stranger things James.

[@christianmcclure8693]

Rothur oh ya it's guts

[@undauntedcwm]

Mike and Janes both, he's downplaying it to seem cool. We all know it was incredible and stoked on it, he's just trying to seem high brow by finding something to poo poo about it

[@undauntedcwm]

Like the thing about the title screen not matching the show like come on, and Mike saying people just like anything new. Like really. No actually cogent argument as to why it wasn't good, just trying to come across as big wigs by saying that something awesome wasn't really that awesome to them because they are so great. Or maybe I'm overthinking it haha. Not.

[@rolandojasso9700]

Jeffrey Homan I think the same way, I don't know if it is for the same reason though. stranger things it's slightly like the 80's but people who said it was like the 80's ruined it for me. compared with movies like monster squad, goonies or movies alike it's nothing like the 80's

[@bucwhovian8305]

Oh sure, it's not as much like the 80's as a movie ACHUALLY FROM THE 80'S, but it's as much like the 80's as any modern show could be.

[@SuperRetroGuru]

finally got a copy of link to past. im enjoying this game too much

[@BogusLettuce]

frank scibilia i got my copy today too. i've only beaten it on game boy advance

[@wantsome480]

I have it but haven't played it in 21 years. Been meaning to bust out the snes sometime soon.

[@SuperRetroGuru]

wantsome480​ (interesting name) I wonder if your save game is still there

[@wantsome480]

frank scibilia Last time I check it was still there. Man if your just now playing snes games there are a ton of good ones. Have you played Super Metroid yet? If not I suggest Super Metroid Chrono Trigger Yoshis Island and Castlevania 4. Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

[@SuperRetroGuru]

Been playing snes since i was a kid . I got all those games you have mentioned. Zelda just kept getting move backed because I either see another game I want at a good price or I play a game like castlevania and want the snes sequel.

[@Vindicator12Music]

"people only like things because it's new" dafuq kinda logic is that? lol.... i love ya mike, but that's just ridiculous.

[@J0SHUAKANE]

its true. look at all the music & movies forgotten because they were only interesting when they were new, now no one gives a shit.

[@keithharrows683]

I always love to watch JMM, but I always go back to this one because LTP was a special game for me. My mom had a hint book, but she made me earn the right to learn the hint. That way, we figured out puzzles together. Those were happy times.

[@melvinbutchhoot]

I grew up in the SNES era and never played this. Because of this video I'm currently playing through it.

[@Muetze20]

The minish cap is my favorit zelda game. You should play that.

[@wheatleythebrick2276]

HUEGH Muetze same

[@bewsket]

James did you ever watch Kung Fury? I would really want to know your opinion on it. 80's awesomeness. Almost ironic. I thought it was awesome!

[@FlameG102]

it was garbage

[@archaeopteryks]

Kung Fury is brilliant. Looking forward to the feature film with Arnold

[@johnpolishimpossible2say191]

Totally agree on Stranger Things. Super bland without being super bad. Everyone I know besides my GF loved the shit out of it. Even Half in the Bag loved it tons. Really weird. "Oh that scene is like in ET, where Elliot is on his bike..." zzzzzzzzzz

[@friedem0n2004]

Exactly how I feel about STRANGER THIINGS

[@HorrorsofCody]

I absolutely agree with James on Stranger Things. Completely overrated.

[@zolwikwkurwik]

I watched stranger things yesterday. Never heard of it before. Really enjoyed it. The music is great, all characters are unique, it feels warm to watch if that makes any sense.

[@junnykun9150]

[@zolwikwkurwik]

[@matt1267]

Ya so I started watching stranger things because I was fucking bored. I usually dislike netflix series very much. I also had no idea it was new when I watched it and did't talk with anyone about it except my gf and I thought the show was amazing. I liked that it was like the goonies or IT and it was very 80's. Also it is one of the only shows where all the characters are likable. Also the monster was not cg. Just his face. There is an actual actor that was in the monsters suit. Your blanket statements on why people like it seem to be off...

[@trod146]

Russell since when does he review game boy games..

[@AnAverageGoblin]

DS, not gameboy, jesus christ Timothy.

[@The_RedVIII]

IMO Stranger Things totally nailed the 80s style. I think you can have an HD image quality and still make it look like the 80s, because of the atmosphere, the clothing, the characters and their behavior, all of it was made to be like in the old 80s movies.

[@trueleox]

The fact you liked many sidestories and how they resolved is the main appeal of Majora's Mask, is not just completing the game but also how you resolve each ingame person's issues, definitely a must Zelda game to play.

[@magus104]

The whole point of what made stranger things good was how it was a good quality production of an 80s feeling movie. the extreme minority that would have liked film grain and bad practical effects would have been a major turn off to the bulk audience who wants new good content thats done in good quality. that being said it would be nice for the hardcore retro fanboys if maybe just the playback devices themselves have screen filter effects or have a 2nd version of the shows/movies in a similar respect with how overwhelmingly bad everyone said the new ghostbusters was I went in expecting it to be the worst thing I had seen in my life. And while I didnt think it was great it actually did some albeit very few things much better than the original ghostbusters. sure some of the jokes were too unbelievably dumb and the jim carrey style overly animated comedic acting of Kate McKinnon didnt really sit well. I think one of the biggest flaws in the new ghostbusters other than ignoring the existance of the originals was the bright colorful ghosts. Who knows if the old ghostbusters would have been so ugly and bright if they had better technology back then but I think that flat more down to earth tone of the effects of the 80s made those ghosts seem more real and that would have helped out the new movie a lot. but the aspect of the ghostbusters actually testing out their newly invented gear was great. the old movies were just like "well we have this perfect gear that doesnt need any testing or tweaking lets do this"

[@winklestiltskin]

It's so much easier to hate on new stuff and be contrarian when it gets really popular with great reviews. Me, I could give a shit about whether it's new or old. If I'm entertained and intrigued, I'm gonna like it whether it's Citizen Kane or Nothing But Trouble.

[@winklestiltskin]

I don't give a crap if Stranger Things is brand new or 100 years old. That has nothing to do with most people liking it. It was a good story with lots of nostalgia, good acting and suspense. I'm the same age as those kids and that totally felt like it was 1983, more than anything I've seen in the modern era. I've seen retro done shitty, and Stranger Things is retro done right. It wouldn't be a smash hit if it sucked.

[@NoshuHyena]

OoT's Water temple is by far the best designed and most cohesive dungeon in that game. It plays like poetry. Its only two flaws are: 1) That the boots take too long to put on and take off (which is more a fault of the game in general rather than the temple), and 2) That one single key in the bottom middle room is too easy to miss.

[@NoshuHyena]

I'm glad they fixed it. And didn't they fix the other problem too? Like they zoomed the camera in to show you the opened path or something?

[@Sifer2]

Yeah considering 3D was still "new" in that era it's an impressively designed dungeon that takes full advantage of it. I think most complained just because it was genuinely are pretty challenging dungeon, and like mentioned switching the boots is a pain.

[@RodimusPrimal]

The grasshopper enemies are called Buzz. Yep, simple name. The Pengators in the Ice Palace that you killed with a medallion can individually be killed by the Hookshot. You also missed the sleeping bat that "curses" you with half magic.

[@aakao2593]

They may as well just add in the part where they smoke a couple bowls. That'd be kinda cool.

[@HopelessHermit]

Aakao lol thats my afternoon after work. randomized link tt past beers and bowls

[@aakao2593]

Drawyoursword420 Sounds like a good day :)

[@RodimusPrimal]

You missed the red boomerang and the upgraded shield. I know you weren't going for all items but its on the way out after getting the Flippers. The water temple in this game isn't so bad. The ice temple gets under my skin because you have to go around for one stinking block.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Am I the only one who doesn't give two s**ts about Zelda? (and Stranger Things).

[@battlemageblitz82]

Yet you're commenting on a Zelda video. Apparently you do give 2 shits.

[@Zeldarulah]

Completely agree with James on Stranger Things. Everyone lost their mind, and I thought it was just kinda passably okay. Really nothing special. Nothing surprising or interesting. Just a kind-of entertaining show.

[@NirnBootMod]

They got the idea for Stranger Things by simplifying the true story of the Montauk Project. The show was going to be called Montauk. The creators aren't very creative as they even copied direct scenes from other movies like the Montauk Chronicles documentary, which was their inspiration to make the series.

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Time to read up on the Montauk Project...

[@NirnBootMod]

Research survivors Stewart Swerdlow and Al Bielek.

[@Bryan-T]

yeah, exactly. Stranger Things was a good watch but I certainly wouldn't watch it again.

[@parrydox.gaming]

You guys like a lot of those old horrible movies but dislike stranger things. Random. But prob how it goes with people who are film analyzers. No dig with this post.

[@battlemageblitz82]

Aww, did someone with a different opinion and perspective put a tangle in your panties?

Stranger things was such a good show. I personally loved it and the music was fantastic!!

[@gst013]

Their critique of it was pretty grandpa...the verbage they used was hilarious 😂

[@TsukiLagann]

gst013 They are right, you people only like hyped things just because everyone talks about them, if Stranger Things was an independent series rather than a Netflix one, it would not be seen as "cool" and I bet you would not give 2 shits about it lol

[@RavenHouseMystery]

Like hanging out with friends on a Saturday afternoon.

[@jdmorice]

You guys should try A Link Between Worlds as it happens in the same world as Link To The Past.

[@Norweeg]

Loaf Dawg Seriously. It's an amazing game and if you are a fan of this game, it is a must play.

[@BogusLettuce]

Loaf Dawg a link between worlds is definitely my second favorite zelda game. its a link to the past but ten times better. majora's mask will always be #1 for me

[@Xunkun]

Re; Same world Weeeeeeeeellll, actually no: the Dark World is the Sacred Realm (which may or may not also be Skyloft), just corrupted. In Link Between Worlds, you only visit the Hylean sacred realm for the last scene of the game. Lowrule is just a parallel universe altogether, with it's own Sacred Realm, that just so happens to look almost exactly like the corrupted Sacred Realm (sans the Silent Hill chasms).

[@inputfunny]

I thought A Link Between Worlds was fun, but my biggest problem was how easy it was. I can only remember 1 puzzle that made me think for a minute or 2. The puzzles also felt very self-contained; they didn't feel very intricate like when you have to go to different areas to figure out 1 puzzle; instead I remember the puzzles usually being able to be completed by staying in 1 room. Buying the items you needed wasn't very good in my opinion since it took away your satisfaction of finding big items in the dungeons for the most part. It wasn't a very rewarding or satisfying game to me, so I'd probably give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

[@inputfunny]

warpio I was thinking the same thing. That's probably true. I think that's why Nintendo should change some things around so experienced Zelda players will have new surprises and the games won't be so easy.

[@Michael-vv1gn]

strange things or thing is barely average just reminds people of gooneys couple of these kids are really poor actors the girl is the only above average part of the TV show

[@N3RFTHIS]

Michael Smith you don't even know the name of it.. You likely didn't watch it.

[@Michael-vv1gn]

I did don't care what the name is less then average show

[@dougsworld7533]

The Water Temple in OoT is one of the best designed dungeons in any video game. The puzzle , the atmosphere , I always really loved the Water Temple .

[@jose5776381]

i love stranger things .i think that it was a really great show! cant wait for season 2 !

[@jakeh2034]

I'm glad they stopped calling it the flute. I don't think I would have ever played "Legend of Zelda: Flute of Time".

[@TotallyRadical]

I'm really surprised they were luke warm on Stranger Things. Im 2 years older than James and I LOVE IT and I'm surely not one of those people that follows stuff because its "hip". It really is a great show. Although I'm not sure what James friends were smoking comparing it to John Carpenter. Best comparison for me is to compare it to Goonies. I grew up in the 80s and 90s myself and think it's pretty close to the feeling of that movie than anything John Carpenter. Sure its shot in HD, but we don't have to be CaveMen to be retro. I mean cmon James/Mike you shoot retro game videos in HD 😉

[@kylopat1652]

Probably compared it to Carpenter because of the monster.

[@robflores5172]

Sorry you guys didn't get the awesome retro vibe of stranger things. Pretty dope series.

[@Beardmosexual]

They clearly got the vibe, but didn't think it was amazing. I'm inclined to agree. It was a good show, but nothing absolutely amazing. It's basically 90% nostalgia. It's the "Only 80's kids will remember this!" of TV shows. Almost feels like it should have been on VH1 instead of Netflix.

[@bucwhovian8305]

I think James has got the wrong end of the stick with the whole "it feels like a 80's movie" thing. They don't in the way that it was shot, they mean in terms of the story taking a lot from stories that were written in the 80's. The effects and the camaras they use is modern, but that does mean it can't still feel like the 80's in terms of tone. Also has anyone made a This is Spinal Tap joke about that show yet? You know ..."These go to eleven"...there has got to be some sort of joke you can make!

[@bucwhovian8305]

They are not so much trying to make them seem retro, as just remind you of that time. I don't really know what is required in your mind to say that they "got it right", but I feel ost of the time it does seem to work.Equalizing Distort

[@bucwhovian8305]

[@MrYTGuy1]

When people say that "stranger things have happened". This show is the type of $#!+ they are talking about. You don't know $#!+ about $#!+ until you've hidden from a monster in your backyard fort, had some slimy thing crawl out of your mouth, glimpsed another dimension, taken a mallet to your kitchen wall, climbed in a cubby hole and talked to your christmas lights. But in all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed stranger things. As an 80's aficionado I was taken aback to hear james' take on the show. The story, setting and characters all felt authentically 80's to me. Even though yes, as james stated, the show was shot in hd. With that being said, the resolution isn't really the criteria in which I judge the 80s-ness of the show. An 80's movie that's been up-ressed to 1080p and cleaned up real nice still feels 80s to me for reasons totally unrelated to the resolution and quality of the picture. Its more to do with the choice of photography, stylization, the settings, story, ,characters, acting, etc. This also kind of sounds like a classic case where the show was over hyped to james via social media. I went in with no expectations except that a friend who also loves 80s stuff said it was interesting. That's about the perfect level of hype to go into this with. Just expect it to be interestingly 80s-like and enjoy the ride. Most or all the classic 80s kid movie tropes are fulfilled in the show. Chunky kid, check. nerdy kid, check. kid that talks funny, check. token minority kid, check. kid that loves old horror movies, check. kid with magic powers, check. completely clueless adults, check. While its not the best thing ever made, I disagree that its just as good as everything else out there to watch. Mainly because all the other stuff is mostly crap. I've seen a lot of everything else and the vast majority if absolutely atrocious to try and actually sit through. I binged this whole show in 2 days because it was so enjoyable. 99.99% of stuff to watch simply doesn't do that for me, so this definitely stood out from the crowd. So you could certainly be watching many things that are quite a bit worse than this. The story is solid enough on its own, but with an added nostalgia factor due to the setting that took it over the top for me.

[@N3RFTHIS]

MrYTGuy1 good comment. I agree completely. I feel like Mike often misses the point with things that James says, so I was not surprised. But I was surprised to hear James did not like it

[@bnose202]

[@numbmind120]

I always hated the forest dungeon as a kid cause it seemed to get me killed more than any other in the game for some reason. Why didn't you do the trick to get double magic?

[@promontorium]

I look at the older LOZ games like the original GTA games. Fun, and as good as they could do for the time, but once you go 3D, now you're really getting into some shit. I guess I love the game more for its vastness. And suck it, Hourglass kicked ass. Really creative game. Can't imagine many DS games utilized its platform more.

[@Sistik123]

I had the same reaction as James for "stranger things" its okay nothing special.

[@IggyTheBalrog]

I liked Stranger Things because it had mystery/horror themes against an more innocent 80's pre-stranger danger backdrop. I think you're off base with this idea that people just like new stuff - there aren't many kid driven adult shows around (I can't even think of one at the moment) that go into conspiracy theories and missing children. It was mostly the vice and buzzfeed set who bigged up the nostalgia angle.

[@Zucadragon]

Everyone was telling me to watch Stranger Things and when I did, I found it started really fun and interesting, but the further and further in I got, the more I found that people acted severely weird. From super scared one moment to "fight mode" the next. They find the most creepy, disgusting things and decide to explore just like that, which felt unrealistic as balls. They can be worried about something big (Which is good) but then have absolutely no worries in other situation, making it all feel disjointed to me. But I'm in the small minority when it comes to that show, most people I know loved it and disagree with me :P

[@seanmyster6]

I'm really not interested in watching Stranger Things, myself. Might be a weird thing to say, but it just SOUNDS to me like something that's overrated.

[@DrHackmoff]

we live in the age of hype culture ,. EVERYTHING is overrated !

[@seanmyster6]

+Max Max You might have a point there.

[@MrJNtheman]

You can't get more hypocritical than Mike criticizing hype while playing Zelda.

[@retrogameraaron4778]

The Dark World theme is the best music in the game.

[@149CreepingDeath08]

You guys should make another channel for full uncut videos, Im sure there are plenty of people who wanna see that

[@SharpWanker]

Stranger things totally blows

[@aceofpayne3141]

I don't disagree with that.

[@darkevilazn]

When you hype something else, obviously, your expectations get raised too high. If you saw it fresh and without opinions, you would have had a different feeling to it. This happens all the time to hyped up movies or shows. Best thing to do: have low expectations for everything, and you will be surprised at how good somethings can be.

[@helterskelter9020]

Stranger Things was good, not great. I'm 36, and I think mostly younger people liked it more because our culture is shit now..

I can definitely see you playing Jenga alone in a room and then after the tower Falls somebody walks in and you're like 'what the fuck did you do!?'So you're a young man in the nineties and you're going around and pointing at Millennials who are doing nothing but shitting there pants and drinking breast milk and being like 'how dare you' you're a grown adult trying to blame children for your failures. If there wasn't a younger generation to blame things on you have killed yourself long ago

[@sebadcabre]

James, I completely agree on what you said about Stranger Things. Is not a bad show by any means, in fact I enjoyed it. But people go around saying it's like the best thing ever since the peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it's just not that good.

[@AO968]

If you had Bombos magic, you could have use that on the Ice Palace boss (Kholdstare). That way, you only needed one blast of magic to thaw him out. Pretty much the only time that magic is truly useful.

[@AO968]

Alex lopresti How? You can kill everything on screen with it, making it seriously OP.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

While true, it is often slower to use it than to just avoid the enemies.

Even I thought Stranger Things is overrated.

[@ElvisDman]

17:25 i know what you feel, James, i felt the same ;_;

[@Okshake]

I felt the same way as James about stranger things even tho I saw it before the hype train I thought it was good but it didn't feel like an actual 80s movie/tv show.

[@MrBackoftheface]

Well it’s not going to be “shot” like an 80s movie. I don’t that criticism from James. The actual quality of the film shouldn’t be retro.

[@XXIIXIIIXXXIXXXIX]

I was just playing this! I'm so rusty though so it's great to see J&M play so I get refreshed on what's comming. I like the visuals this week, the P in P being offset is great!

[@drewwhitney7327]

I have to agree with James' reasons for finding stranger things to be overrated. For a show that pays so much homage to 80s stuff, it doesn't have the correct look of the 80s, due to the modern looking cinematography and cgi antagonist

[@NINisTR1]

You guys always play the same fucking games

[@kaldo_kaldo]

Besides part 1 to this video, when did they play LTTP before?

[@NINisTR1]

pelleman02wb thanks, yeah pretty much lol

[@cafeterialoca]

Huh, you guys didn't get 1/2 magic

[@Robkinggozer]

You should really start doing more visceral attacks. With the right runes equipped, it will grant you way more blood echoes.

[@kanxy]

Rob Robberson im sorry but the game youre looking for is in another castle

[@Robkinggozer]

kanxy Sigh... back to Cainhurst then.

[@OptimusPurp]

can he talk about the game not the movie aspect of things, like he doesn't know Zelda well

[@OptimusPurp]

love you guys

[@icychill105]

i have never played this nor do i plan on it but i enjoy watching mike and james play it. Keep up the good work guys, cant wait for more live streams

[@Amyguzman773]

icychill105 I would recommend it, its one of the best games on the SNES in my opinion.

[@zxczxczxc7240]

i played it when i was like 9 i think. still one of my favorite games(28 now). i hold it higher than lots of games made now lol and i find that pretty funny.

[@Beardmosexual]

This is singlehandedly the greatest SNES game of all time. Not playing this would be a disservice to yourself. If you're going to pass over a classic-style Zelda game, the most forgivable one would be the original. But LttP is something everyone should play through at least once.

[@BogusLettuce]

amy guzman while this is true, the best game we can all agree on for the SNES was chrono trigger

[@HazardHighlander]

no. everyone has their own opinion, not everyone is gonna agree with you

[@kalilkash973]

Wouldn't mind seeing James fully review Stranger Things. I'm sorry the hype killed it for him. I freakin loved the show.

[@Zelphiez]

I'm having a hard time understanding the cynicism about Stranger Things. I can get that it's not for everyone but I feel like they went into it with certain expectations that were let down and that's not the shows fault. It's theirs :/ Also I agree with Mike wholeheartedly, the Oracle games are amazing.

[@runbayrun]

wow. really appreciate your unpopular opinion. I was definitely caught up in the hype of stranger things and your points have made me think more critically of the show.

[@rangerclose9114]

han solo dies...

[@TheFettuck]

The Dutch word for father is Vader! :P

[@luckysniper1659]

I can talk about this game for days. I used to go to the 4th temple in the dark world as soon as possible and get the glove. I think you can do it after lvl 2. That way you can get the new sword and go back and beat 3 and 4 easier.

[@asapayan5153]

Love how all the comments are about the Stranger Things comment they made. XD Also the Double Claw Shot is far better than the Hookshot.

[@christurbed199869]

I agree the DS Zeldas we're not my favorite either. My kids liked them more than I did. I would like to request that you play Clash at Demon Head for one of your game plays. I love that game.

[@larrywolf2509]

"Stranger Things" is nothing but cliche after trope after cliche after trope, which is why I'm with James. There's nothing "good" or "well told" about it. It was "Super 8, the TV series."

[@fwo2bebe251]

Agreed, 7 years later.

[@iconocast]

the dark world blew my mind as a kid

[@residentgrigo4701]

Japanese people turn the l and r around (it´s complicated). That is where the Zelda 1 Zora mistranslation came from.
