Someone out there has 100%ed Dragon Quest 9. I don't know who it is, because this seems like the sort of thing that Lyrai would look up from her hat collection and go "Nah that seems excessive". But I'm sure they're out there. Oh, the best part: you don't even get alchemy recipes for this...

a duet

If I haven't bitched about my car having a "hey, it's kinda chilly" sensor tone that goes off whenever it's less than forty degrees, I'd like to bitch about it. I really have more important things to do when driving than have something demand my attention to acknowledge that there might, i...

Skeletor isn't a skeleton in a muscle-guy suit.

Skeletor was a buff-ass human sorcerer who melted his face off with a magic mishap. I don't think there's any word on what happened to the viscera in his abdomen but presumably they're still there doing their jobs.

I had played Rocket Slime when it was new so I had some inkling of how grindy postgame Dragon Quest games are, but holy fuck "Hey DQ9", you might say, "My sage is pretty cool but they're a bit lacking in Defense. I'd like to get them a really nice robe to wear so they don't die."...

My understanding is that Dragon Quest 9 was set to be a big deviation from the traditions of the series that came before it, but the instant they released any preview that this was the case the backlash from the Japanese audience boiled down to "NO DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN MY BELOVED DRAGON QU...

Steamed Hams but it's Banjo-Kazooie voice grunting

So it's actually Post-Dragon Quest? The spoilered text is the "oh yeah this is the final boss, really!" fakeout as popularized by Baramos, so while the unnamed taxi dragon isn't the only one in the game, yeah, the whole game takes place after its initial appearance and like 3/4 of the gam...

The best part is that Homer L-R scrolls right past Shotgun Ice as he's thinking about it

I've seen 1-5 LPed enough -- some on this very forum! -- that when I went to Quest a Dargon I skipped straight to 6. When you boot the game, the introductory cutscene has the hero Gohan and two other PCs, Android 18 and a guy who probably looks like somebody out of Dragon Ball but I don't know who....

What's Terranigma?

Yeah, that'd be fine.

Impression 1: The Jobs: DQ3 invented the Vocation system, with the Soldiers, Martial Artists, Wizards, Priests, Merchants, and the advanced Sage that you could graduate into if you practice as the Gadabout. DQ6 has a similar system with a few more basic jobs and a lot more intermediate jobs, and if ...

I've seen 1-5 LPed enough -- some on this very forum! -- that when I went to Quest a Dargon I skipped straight to 6. Which is, from my outside observation of the series as a whole, not really one of the more popular ones? Like, Dragon Quest 1 basically invented the streamlined-for-consoles RPG. DQ2 ...

You can tell they're wearing naught underneath because at 0:31 guy clearly has his sack sticking to the side of his leg

"If you don't respect our troops I will shit myself and cry" has been a chart-topper for the last 22 years

Friday, palm out, rejecting the premise. Spongebob, bespectacled, turning the pages.
Friday, pointing with one finger, approval. Darmok, baffling Picard.
