Vigilantes Breathes New Life Into My Hero Academia | Animezingly Baka

After an incredibly long and depressing false start--I "recorded" almost an entire episode before I realized I wasn't actually recording anything--this episode starts with even more Star Wars--this time focusing on Star Wars: Resistance--before getting to what anime I've been watching with My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, Witch Watch, Wind Breaker, One Piece, and more. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

Road Redemption Is the Closest Thing to Road Rash Since...Road Rash | Attack the Backlog

This was a surprise. Early this year I wasn't sure what to play and wasn't quite ready for anything too big, so I perused my various libraries and picked out a few games that caught my eye. Road Redemption was one of those games. As someone who grew up with Road Rash and loved every iteration of it up to and including Road Rash 3D, any game that looks like Road Rash is going to get my attention. That said, I wasn't expecting much from Road Redemption based on the visuals, but as soon as I started playing, I fell in love. It may not be the prettiest game out there and it's rough around the edges, but it's great where it counts: it's just a lot of fun to play.

Divine Knockout (DKO) Was Better Than Super Smash Bros. | The Last Call

I know the title of this episode will rub many the wrong way, but I sincerely mean it. Super Smash Bros. (and every copy) has never worked for me. Part of that could be due to my (almost) always playing them alone, but then I played Divine Knockout (DKO) mostly alone, so I can't say that's the reason, but whether playing alone or playing with others, I've never had fun with a Super Smash Bros. game. I appreciate the hell out of what those games are doing and adore their soundtracks, but the act of playing them is something I've never enjoyed. So what makes DKO so different? 3D. The transition from playing on a 2D plane to playing on a 3D plane is all it took to make a platform fighter go from meh to the best in my book. It's a shame DKO is now dead, but I'm glad I got the chance to play it before it died--I genuinely feel bad for all of you who'll never get the chance--and can only hope someone tries making another 3D platform fighter in the future.

Why Solo Leveling Will Never Be a 10/10 (And That's Okay) | Animezingly Baka

In this second attempt at a return for Animezingly Baka, things are a little different. Now, instead of being all about anime, it's all about anime...and movies, tv shows, comics, manga, books, and anything else not video game-related--that's for The Pixelated Sausage Show. With that out of the way, this (technically third) first episode starts with a lot of Star Wars talk and ends with a lot of anime talk, including the reveal of my favorite Star Wars character, what shook me in the latest episode of The Apothecary Diaries, and why Solo Leveling is great, but will never be one of the greatest. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League by Making Them Watch Endless Cutscenes | Attack the Backlog

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't a bad game, it's just a bad Arkham game. If you asked anyone what they wanted out of a sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight, I doubt a single person would say, "I want a co-op, live service Suicide Squad game," but that's what we got: a perfectly fine cooperative shooter with enough cutscenes to rival the runtime of The Return of the King: Extended Edition and four playable characters who feel mostly the same outside of unique traversal mechanics. But I guess it could have been worse; it could have been Gotham Knights instead.
