'Ore Wa Great Mazinger' (おれはグレートマジンガー) 8 Bit Remix
26'morning, boys. 50 days until christmas.
i like great mazinger, definetly more than i like z but maybe equally to grendizer. before i even digested any of great mazinger i already liked the design of it way more than any other mazinger robot, kaiser included. i like tetsuya and jun too, they're fun characters and i like them individually way more than the original duo in z. tetsuya especially i really like, he's probably my favorite mazinger protagonist. boss will always be my favorite character in any mazinger series, though. the older i get the more i realize that i don't actually dislike anime anymore. i used to because of how gay (not literally) i was as a kid and the sheer disappointment i felt looking back at that, but i now realized that it is simply that i don't gay anime. i like muscle men and robots in my mongolian basket weaving tutorials, simple as. don't even try and hit me with that lanky whiny bitch boy protagonist slop or moeshit. at the end of the day it's all ching chong cartoons but if you're gonna digest stuff like that as a grown ass man at least don't digest gay shit. stuff like this should motivate people to be good and better people than they are. i went on a big rant in the hustle muscle cover, if i remember correctly, about how much muh morally grey characters bother me and how people should just be good so if you want to read even more of my insane stream of consciousness ramblings then go right ahead.
that new grendizer game is coming out soon and by this point i don't know how it'll be recieved. i think it looks fun (despite the fact that ill probably do the thing where play it for ten minutes, go "this is cool", and then never play it again) but it seems like there's been a few missteps up to this point like there being no ching chong ling long dub in the game on release. that kind of shit is still weird to me. like why release a fucking game that isn't fully finished? sonic frontiers came out last year and they released a fucking roadmap for updates and shit that should have just been in a full release. i get that dizer mostly appeals to minorites in the middle east (still a shithole) and france (good food, gross place) and italy (honorary non-minorities) or whatever but i dunno, it's pretty funny i guess. it would be cool if they had at least mazinger z as an unlockable playable robot or something post-game. there is no way the game will sell to anyone who isn't already a grendizer fan so i don't really know how much money they're going to make. it sucks because besides srw super robots don't really get any games at all. i dunno, at the end of the day i don't really keep up with modern games anymore. i still haven't played the new sonic game and honestly i don't know if i will because what i've seen looks like something i would not have fun with at all. frontiers was a decently fun time but it wasn't terribly memorable. still assmad that crush 40 had no involvement with the game and instead they had some fuckin homosexuals do the themes which fucking sucked. fist bump (one of my favorite non-crush 40 vocal themes in the series) carried the entire forces ost hard and that wasn't done by the crush 40 boys so the problem lies entirely on the people who did the themes for frontiers. my problem with frontiers is probably just how lame the entire game felt. open world sonic is fun but just does not fucking work. now, a wide open series of linear levels built on a fluid engine a la sonic gt (the best sonic fan game) would have been a hell of a lot more fun. barren wastelands with little minigames and shit is not fucking good game design and i blame breath of the wild for making people think that open world slop was in any way good game design. i haven't played elden ring and i probably won't but i've heard from a few different people i know that it was fun so that makes me wonder if the problem with open world relies on how the world is designed. i guess mgsv was open world and i liked that game a lot even if the story wasn't done. damn, i should do a 2.0 snake eater cover at some point. you ever heard the japanese version of snake eater? look it up, it's really good. it was released on the first bite cd thing and has a completely different style when compared to the original, it's great. the japanese release date of snake eater is on a saturday in december so, hey, maybe i'll do the 2.0 cover for that day if i remember or actually want to do it at all. i'm happy to see the remake just because it means that konami is doing something non-pachinko related with the series even if i really don't like remakes of modern games that don't fucking need remakes. i like snake eater a lot and there's a lot of potential for cool shit in a remake so they really shouldn't be able to fuck it up.
have a wonderful day, gentlemen.
