Hey Jules, how about a list of disabled protagonists? Being a one-legged guy myself, I'm always cursing those bloody bi-peds 😉 might be a tricky list to find 10

[@masonmills1499]

I have a buddy that lost a leg in Afghanistan on his second tour. He love the bionic commando remake even though we all know it's an "OK" game at best, simply because the protagonist has lost an arm. I get it.

[@glenndallas7171]

This is a very cool list idea!

List suggestion: Top 10 games that advanced gaming technology (and how) Or: top 10 games that tried to advance gaming technology (and failed) I know for a fact that there are some really interesting advances that would surprise people. For example, the original 3D FPS games were actually 2D games that used some clever design to create the illusion of a 3D world, complete with stairs, elevators, and multiple floors. It sounds a lot less impressive than it actually is.

So, I've got one for you: there is this quest series in Runescape that is basically based on Lovecraft's work (think coastal town taken over and turned into fish-people) and the slugs that control people are part of a hivemind controlled by a being called Mother Mallum. This thing can control your mind once you get close, that's how powerful she is. And you're building up to a confrontation with this entity. She was first mentioned in 2002 and the climax was in 2011: that is 9 years of build-up. The set-up was as such that you were not even sure what you will find or if it can even be killed. And in the end, you defeat this menacing foe by just dropping a stone pillar on it and squishing it like a bug... Biggest anti-climax I have ever experienced :')

[@FatherlyVibes]

Hey Jules! Not sure if you'll ever read this but fun fact about that number 4 entry! Volgun chants Kuwabara to both not be struck by lightning as well as ward off bad luck (particularly from 'vengeful spirits'). Regardless, it's something he feels he MUST say EVERY time he enters or exits a room / space. In that scene in particular, he gets caught up in the excitement, and forgoes saying it. Here's the kicker! IN-GAME, if you press the button to watch the cutscene through an alternative lens, you can see the vengeful spirit of 'The Sorrow', a sudo-enemy boss from earlier in the game, touch Volgun, causing the lightning to strike him. Bad Luck Achieved ;D

How about "Boss Battles That Took the Longest amount of time to beat"? My example would be the Adamantoise in Final Fantasy 15. I don't recall what level it recommended your party be, but I managed to pull it off at Level 85. Took me 1.5-2 hours for me to beat him.

[@necrocyborg5453]

If you really want a fight from Final Fantasy 15 that took forever to beat, face Omega. Omega spawns in Insomnia after beating the game at level 119. 99% resistance to everything except lightning. That fight at level 117 with almost everything mentioned earlier and the armiger unleashed still took me over an hour. For me the Adamantoise at level 101 took about 30 minutes. Even then I know of several ways I could have done better to kill faster (eat a meal that guarantees critical hits, use limit breaker spells, give your retainers the limit breaker skill, have the airdance skill).
