I gotta advocate for this small game franchise, because it was promising during a time when fast-paced mecha combat seemed impossible for games to get right. Zone of the Enders and Zone of the Enders 2 for the PS2 showed what was possible with mecha games early on, but sadly it seems to have fallen to the way side

Also, with Hideo Kojima (METAL GEAR!? Yeah, that guy.) acting solo it's unlikely that we'll see anything from the series again. it's fairly wrapped up, but there could have been more!

To make me feel better there's always The Legend of Zelda, especially A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time. They were important entries for me, and they can still reach that soft spot in my heart.

There's also the first Kingdom Hearts, a magnificent game that I was hesitant to play when it first came out. There's still a lot of nostalgia there for me.

There are really a bunch of games that can make me feel good, or even excited to have been through them. There's nothing like gaming.

I've played so many good games, and many bad ones, over the years. But, I don't wish to change any of it. Maybe in a fleeting moment, I'll think about it that way, but the games that I played and currently play, still shape my outlook on gaming.

I wouldn't be who I am without the experiences that games gave me. Including the ability to share those experiences with friends. I gained many great friends just because of the games that I was playing at the time. I wouldn't want to miss out on those friendships.

I gotta be a clean eater. Nothing else will do, because the mess just grosses me out. Especially for others.

In my middle school years we had this kid that made it a thing to eat messy, and every day he would put on the show, even drooling on the table at lunch one day. Still grosses me out to think about. Crazy, he was sane outside the cafeteria.
