fuck no haha, my 1 star review from 2010 is still on that page

sonic rush was a really solid modern sonic sidescroller that kind of gets forgotten. I also think the original sonic is too quickly dismissed as obsolete since it doesn't have a spindash. It's a slower pace but I really like it as a more traditional platformer and that special stage is my favorite of the genesis games.

Super Mario 64

Sony's 2005 and 2006 press conferences immediately come to mind. I really enjoy how overly ambitious and arrogant they were in 05 with the fake gameplay trailers and just going on and on about how powerful the PS3 was going to be, I was so curious how it was going to turn out. Then the 06 conference hits and the reality set in, which was a lot of fun to see unfold on the gamespot forums.

I feel like post-covid could also refer to everything that has changed since it began, like march 2020 being an inflection point a la post-9/11

FEAR

I spent the majority of my time here in 2008-2010, when I was still a teen and had ample time to edit the wiki (remember that being a thing) and keep up with all the videos, reviews and bombcasts. Randomly watching the mario party party videos on youtube in 2018 got me back into the site, but mostly to work my way through the bombcast backlog from the very beginning and to dig into some of the video content I had missed like game tapes, breaking brad and demo derby.

I would say 2008-2013 is perfect giant bomb for me, that core of jeff, ryan, brad and vinny is untouchable. The middle part of the 2010s post ryan davis still seems to have some good content, but the past couple years feel like diminishing returns and the one-two punch of covid forcing all of the content to be done remotely and then the brad and vinny exit has utterly destroyed my interest in the site. Jeff is my favorite personality in the industry so I'll still be intrigued in stuff like garage talk, but motherfuck the rest of the garbage this site is producing.

House Party (1990) - while visually compelling as a result of its turn of the decade hip hop aesthetic, particularly the kid n play dance choreography, overall a pretty dumb comedy that is much more amusing than outright funny [6.0]

Looks like it was edited by VH1

Those first 5 years were the best, pretty sad to see the where this site is 13 years later. Not a very happy birthday
