That’s an awesome idea! Mortal Kombat could blend its brutal combat with RPG-style exploration. Imagine finding hidden lore in each realm, interacting with NPCs from the different factions, and even making choices that affect alliances. It could really expand the MK universe in an exciting way.

You know what confuses me about this list? Why would Zelda be on it. It's probably the least violent or graphic of the games listed in the video.

This is such a fascinating part of gaming culture. Before voice acting became more standard, we were all left to our own devices to figure out pronunciation, so it’s no wonder there’s so much variation. For example, ‘Ultimecia’ has a Latin-inspired root (ultima meaning ‘last’), which could lend itself to multiple interpretations. And with Seifer, it’s likely influenced by ‘cipher,’ hence the hard ‘S’ sound. It’s interesting to see how regional dialects and personal experience shape the way we say these names.

I completely agree that storytelling plays a pivotal role in games, adding layers of meaning and emotional engagement. A well-crafted narrative can elevate even simple mechanics into something profound. Games like The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption draw players in, not just with action but through the deep, relatable characters and intricate worlds they create. It's fascinating how games have evolved to allow players to impact these stories directly, offering a level of immersion that books or films can’t match.

Yeah, I remember those days! It's wild how video games have always been an easy target for moral panic. Mortal Kombat and GTA definitely shook things up back then, but I always found it interesting how games like Zelda and Castlevania were pulled into the same conversation.

I also had a similar experience with a game called Limbo. While it technically has an ending, it left me with the same feeling of "Is that it?" It almost feels like a betrayal of your time and money, especially when the devs leave it feeling unfinished.

Well, this is a reflection of the current economy where companies are closing studios left and right because of the cost to keep them running while they aren't bringing in adequate income. I was curious what they were working on - I wonder if that project will be passed to one of their other studios.

Kickboxer (1989) - 9.5/10

The way how King threw that hammer into the air and caught it at the last second scaring the crap out of that guy was hilarious!

I've replayed it a few times myself and have gone multiple routes with various characters I created. This has been one of the best games we've had in the last few years.

My Steam library has over 500 games and a good portion of them I have never played and don't even know when I'll touch those games either.

It doesn't look half bad in my opinion but we need to see more gameplay. This is just a flashy trailer in my honest opinion.

This reminds me of SSX Tricky from the 2000s so much! I used to love playing that game - it's a pity EA ruined the franchise but I'll keep an eye on this game.

I love Lovecraftian themes in games! Also, The concept of a living, monstrous train is very unique. I haven't heard of too many games incorporating something like this.

I haven't played it yet, but I love the isometric shooter genre. In addition to that, the price is definitely appealing and I checked out some gameplay footage, and it looks really fun. Maybe I'll go get it and try it out.

I haven’t played it yet, but I love the premise! The idea of an angel in a time loop sounds intriguing.

Let's kick things off with "The Duck Song" you know, the one about the little duck asking for grapes! Now it’s your turn: associate it with another equally ridiculous song. Keep the chain going and see how long we can make it! Bonus points for creativity and nostalgia.

I’ve been reflecting on how our cultural backgrounds can profoundly impact our musical preferences. From the genres we gravitate toward to the artists we admire, it seems like our upbringing plays a significant role. Do you find that your cultural heritage influences the music you enjoy? What specific styles or songs connect you to your roots?

Have you come across music that beautifully blends different cultural traditions, like Afro-Cuban jazz or Indian classical rock? How do you think these fusions enrich or challenge your understanding of music? Do they open new perspectives for you, or do they create complexities that are hard to navigate?
