“A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the Elder Days: the Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong.”

Even titans do fall. Vince Zampella, like it or not, has been responsible in the foundation of some of the modern standards we find today. With the current state of this industry, this is a huge loss. My sympathies to all of his former colleagues and FPS enthusiasts.

Merci @facteurgeek.bsky.social pour l’invitation à la balado de fin d’année et de faire une petite déclaration au sujet d’une vingtaine d’années d’un jeu qui a fini par laisser sa place de mon meilleur de tous les temps. Au plaisir de laisser d’une chronique ici et là.

Bon retour, Phil Danault!

Ready to lose a race vs @pharrohyami.bsky.social! @venenoraccoon.bsky.social gonna spice up the fun of it all thanks to the compass I got him! twitch.tv/scolioreset

Un privilège d’être avec @facteurgeek.bsky.social demain soir alors que je discuterai des jeux m’ayant marqué en 2025. Les anxiétés d’une princesse grecque contre le temps L’abjection du joueur PC face au monstre La foi des insectes sur leur route de la soie Les répressions d’une guerrière absolue

Quote posting with the paragraph captured by @samitron.bsky.social.

And done! I can’t finish a Metroid game without having at least a 100% run no matter the quality of the game. I pushed through Other M in the past, Beyond wouldn’t be the one to stop me. Also no “See you next mission”, a first since Other M. I don’t expect a next mission from Retro Studios…

Well then! Gonna be interesting in how it expands an already incredible world.

Le genre de critique que je ne veux JAMAIS faire. Je considère celle-ci comme une libération. Merci @facteurgeek.bsky.social pour la porte ouverte à ce morceau « d’anthologie ». Hâte d’en parler de vive voix avec la gang sur une prochaine balado avec mes Top et Flops de l’année.

Finally watched @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein. It is, without a doubt, a work of art! You mad lad has done it again. Much respect to all cast and crew members. My mother and I loved it!

Melinoe in gala attire, DK with gentleman’s pants and Hornet sitting on Donkey’s shoulder wasn’t something I would think of. :-)

None, except the one who is more fair than all the jewels beneath the earth.

Merci dame Béatrice “Marge” Picard d’avoir fait rire le jeune ado en moi pendant ces belles saisons des Simpsons. Vos répliques à feu Hubert “Homer” Gagnon et les membres survivants au doublage resteront dans les mémoires.

It’s time to start Hard Mode! The true 100% quest is up! Metroid Prime Beyond! twitch.tv/scolioreset

Finished Prime 4 yesterday with 96% of scans and 82%. I can now start Hard Mode which, for some reason, allows the Save Station to do what it used to. Should be interesting. But boy do I have to say a few things... I'll wait.

More of it now! twitch.tv/scolioreset

Will start a fresh streaming playthrough! Prime 4 Beyond!!! LIVE!!! twitch.tv/scolioreset

The irony that Dreams is home to a fanmade spin on what was the former Project Dream at Rare in the mid-90’s. The aesthetics work for Banjo-Kazooie here, more so than Nuts & Bolts ever did.

Out of respect for my brother, I played a lot of Metroid Prime 4 on my own with him watching my every reactions and feels. It’s also to keep myself from being spoiled and backseated. I’ll watch you people up to a point. ;-)

Experiencing some of it with my brother. Forgive me folks… but this… THIS!!!

Eighteen years ago… half of my current lifetime. Welcome back home, Entrusted One.

Good morning.

Will not play Beyond until I finish Corruption… maybe?

Will be live soon! The Phazon Saga will be at an end! twitch.tv/scolioreset

Metroid Prime 2 done, Metroid Prime 3 has been started! With Echoes now complete, I’ll attempt to do the whole of Corruption next evening and make sure it’s over before I can tackle Beyond.

Finishing Echoes! Starting Corruption later!!! twitch.tv/scolioreset

You to me: Do you prefer 2D or 3D Metroid? Me: Yes! You to me: How about Other M? Me, Michael Rosen-style: Waste of money.

Games on my Twitch Recap! Makes sense considering my push in getting to Diamond in SF6 and abandoning my FG progress. As for the rest, it only made sense. DKC2 is my feel good title, Banjo-Tooie was for the mess of its design. Both Hollow Knight games… Well d’uh!!!

Well, couldn’t finish last night and forgot ONE scan (Space Jump Guardian). More later tonight and will hopefully conclude with Prime 3 on Wednesday.

Live! Let’s finish Echoes! twitch.tv/scolioreset

Will start at around 8:30PM EST. See you soon!

“Shre nazg golugranu kilmi-nudu Ombi kuzddurbagu gundum-ishi Nugu gurunkilu bard gurutu Ash Burz-Durbagu burzum-ishi Daghburz-ishi makha gulshu darulu”

See you soon on Planet Viewros…

Wasn’t able to finish Prime 2 before getting exhausted personally. Will continue later this evening December 1st. I’ve reached Sanctuary Fortress, and got all Logbook scans I could pick up so far. I may be able to start Prime 3 but I’ll try to finish in the evening of Dec 2-3, at worse 3-4.

And LIVE! Revisiting Metroid Prime 2! twitch.tv/scolioreset

I’ll begin Metroid Prime 2 at 7:30PM EST. Expecting this to take 6+ hours… twitch.tv/scolioreset

Metroid Prime was cleared during a full six hours stream. 100% in 4h45. Not too bad as I usually take my time through it. Echoes should be later tonight.

It has begun! Live!!! twitch.tv/scolioreset

Ahead of Metroid Prime Beyond’s release, I’ll TRY to marathon through the Phazon Saga aka the original Metroid Prime Trilogy. Hopeful to start tonight at around 7:30PM EST. All games will be played on the Wii U software version of the compilation. twitch.tv/scolioreset

Riptor’s Tail Flip! Sorry @venenoraccoon.bsky.social www.twitch.tv/venenoraccoo...

Ended up watching Dead Ringers and, as much as I enjoyed the overall product, it’s hard not to close your eyes and imagine Scar talking to himself in front of a mirror.

DKC2 making the Top 10? I can rest. :-)

@venenoraccoon.bsky.social ;-)

Waiting for Metroid Prime 4 feels like meditating during zero gravity in an upside-down space ship stuck on a moon until the shepherd’s call. The burden of patience is too great for SR!

Allez les Als!!!

Well, blew up a mental fuse over KI tonight. Plus haven’t turned on a fighting game a lot for the past weeks for reasons.
