Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition

That FF1 cross stitch is soooo good. Speaking of foundational gaming memories, that's one for me: Just out of college and living in a strange new town, I played that on NES as my first RPG, drawing maps of some of the dungeons on paper and really getting into this new kind of game. (Up until then I ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition

I find it very interesting to hear about people's personal connections to games that make them so special to them. I had games too that I played through with a friend, and those are definitely some great memories. Basically, I'm here for any of these childhood / early adulthood gaming stories any o...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 422: 1/31/26: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Edition

I love j's DQ details. That is why he is the Machine and I most assuredly am not! :lol: My favorite is VIII. It's the first one I played and the only one I've played twice. I still remember XI pretty well since I played that not too long ago, and that was great too. I played I and II a long, long ti...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 421: 1/24/26: Highguard Edition

Monday was a work at home day for me due to the weather. Honestly, it got really cold down here but nothing else, but I never complain about a work from home day. That morning I started feeling a little pinch in my abdomen, which I wrote off to something I ate - I had made some chili the night befo...

To The Beat! and the Great Master Challenge are beaten, and the Astro Bot platinum is secured! https://media.tenor.com/Bn7naoQAyMAAAAAM/astrobot-cute.gif I'm not sure whether to proceed to the DLC stuff (Vicious Void and Stellar Speedway) or move on to another game. It sounds like those are hardcore...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 421: 1/24/26: Highguard Edition

I've been really loving my time with DQ8. I just "defeated" Empyrea so I can fly around now. I really love the pacing in this and the gradual opening of exploration. I'm about 60 hours in and loving it at least as much as DQXI. Such an enjoyable journey with a fun cast, great presentation...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 420: 1/17/26: MIO: Memories In Orbit Edition

When Indiana had to settle for the FG to put them up 6 with still plenty of time remaining, I was thinking "Alright Cane(s) - all you need is a moment of magic!" ALMOST! Still, as you said, an outstanding season for them and surely a feather in their cap as a very successful program over ...

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 420: 1/17/26: MIO: Memories In Orbit Edition

Cane, it's a big night for you brother! I'm pulling for Indiana just because of their (mostly) historical insignificance in college football. But there is a part of me that is rooting for you and your boys, knowing what it would probably mean to you. I would have to imagine that the U winning tonig...
