Nomad: Megalo Box been heating the fuck back up

My parents just got their first shots last weekend and my first one is scheduled for the 30th. I think they opened it up to under 18s (down to 12 years old? I forget what it was) and said that if kids showed up with their parents they didn't need to pre-register to get a shot, so I'm wondering if I'll end up getting bumped because of so many extras being used.

Ayyyyy the single-dose vaccination percent of the country just rose above America's for the first time (which is the only our media knows how to measure success apparently). Way behind in second-dose vaccinations but the strategy here seems to be to give everyone the first dose ASAP to prevent hospitalizations and then we'll start getting to the second when we get to it.

Man, what a freak accident. High speed Muay-Thai knee to the face with little chance of avoiding it

This game is usually lauded as one of the best DQ games so I was really interested to play it. I think the general concept and the villains were great, playing through multiple stages of the Main Character's life and working in tragedies they experienced was really good. I thought it didn't focus enough on the side characters, there was a lot more they could've done with them story-wise and I actually wanted to get to know them more because of how interesting the growing-up mechanic was. The Monster collecting mechanic was a good and bad point to me at the same time, it was fun collecting monsters and seeing what new attacks they'd learn but on the opposite end, it added a lot more grinding to the game because if you wanted to use something new, you had to train them up to a reasonable level before you could. Also on a personal level, I hate when games expect you to remember those things you couldn't access before and go "Oh yeah, I need to go there" and the second half of the game was very heavily based on this, so I hit up FAQs just to figure out where to go next more often than not. Really good game and would've really stood out on the SNES had I played it back then, it reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy IV.

New Japan sure getting fucked up every which way possible On the plus side, we might end up with the G1 winner becoming IWGP Champion

RIP Kentaro Miura FUCK

The playoff bracket in the North has been pretty much set for awhile too, like the only thing that would've really mattered was if Edmonton won all of their games or lost all of their games and potentially shifted a spot or two, but probably was an easy gamble to make

Probably official record/draft implications. They had to play 7 games in I think 10 nights just to make up for that 2 week stretch they missed because of covid protocol, I kind of wonder if they would've done that to obvious playoff teams like the Lightning or the Maple Leafs or if they just thought they could get away with it because the Canucks weren't going anywhere

Dragon Quest Dai No Daibokan Just finished the Baran arc, '90s shonen as fuck and OG Dragon Ball as fuck

TWEWY

Also because of the covid protocols, the Canucks still have two regular season games to play even though the playoffs have already started

They actually re-seed the whole field once they hit the final four IIRC, so the North Division champions aren't guaranteed to play the Western division champions. It's a really really interesting set-up. I do hope we at least see EDM/TOR and PIT/WSH. My dad's a huge sports fan but he's barely watched any sports this year because all of these different set-ups and no crowds made it feel like it wasn't "real" sports to him and I kinda get that right now because I honestly have no idea what happened outside of the North Division this year.

Digimon 48 Eyyyyyy, now things are finally happening again

Man, that Nick Gage episode of Dark Side of the Ring

I prefer the boss fights, weapon combinations and Health-meter here to Contra but I do prefer Contra's running-and-gunning through normal enemies and Contra's respawning in place. 27) Comix Zone (100% Trophies) '90s EXTREME as fuck. Game's made for save states. Way too punishing.

An okay game for its release date. There is a lot of cheap hits from stuff you can't see off-screen until the last second. The worst thing is the finicky double-jump, which doesn't work half the time and when it does, doesn't let you ajdust in mid-air like modern double jumps do, and that is aggravating

Was a so-so game overall, really short and the controls were kinda stiff but the little combos you could do were cool. Solid for an early Genesis-era/pre-SNES release beat'em up. 24) Virtua Fighter 2 (100% Trophies) A mostly-easy trophy list but hooooo-leeee shit, that ratchets up in difficulty very quickly. I did not beat the Arcade Mode and was definitely intimidated by the size of the move list and really the idea of playing any more of it.

The last season-ish of Digimon has been kinda boring, felt like a lot of filler episodes or just meandering around hoping to bump into whatever it is they're looking for.

Only took him one more game against the Canucks. 13 Points in 4 Games against the Canucks, 21 Points in 9 games against the Canucks all season. ;_;

Yeah PPG, is still a benchmark for "this is a highly effective offensive player." He's on a 150 point pace if it was a full 82 game season, but it's likely he would've slowed down to maybe a 120ish point pace at some point because of how they have to pace themselves in long seasons. Last time someone did 150ish was Lemieux in 1996 (161) and then a few players would hit over 120 points here and there since then. IIRC both Eric Lindros and Sidney Crosby had a few season where they were on pace to hit over 130 but they both kept getting bonked in the head. Crazy stuff, especially since Connor's only 24.

SSSS Dynazenon Ep 6

A few weeks ago where people were going nuts because he's been on a Point-Per-Period pace for like 15 games. Ridiculous.
