But when we start readying up for battle, we see the four of them on the side of their ship just dancing around. So we start dancing and waving, too, and they get the point that we're friendly. We get on their ship, play some music, dance around, get drunk, all that good stuff. They start sailing away so we're like **** it, let's go wherever they go and stay on their ship.

We end up going to one of the limited time events where we have to fight off tooooons of skeletons. Teamwork is the name of the game here. Stryker and Peanut get killed off pretty quickly, but they come back on our ship. It takes quite a bit to kill all the skeletons and the boss, but we do it. The treasure room opens up and there's soooooo much. We load everything back onto their ship and sail to an outpost to sell our stuff.

We divy up the treasure, sell everything, and complete our adventure. We spent quite a while with them, so when it was all over it was actually a little sad. When they get on their ship to sail away, we stay on the docks and wave goodbye. They wave back at us from their ship and (literally) sail off into the sunset.

It was dope.

AND LIVE STREAMING IT!

So...watch me act like a fool as I can't get a mouse to cross a waterwheel.

It ultimately ended up taking three people to figure it out.

I remember playing that game about 10 years ago, fun times. I liked how Colosseum and Gale of Darkness had a story unlike Battle Revolution on the Wii.

Well, they were never particularly good to begin with as they always got poor reviews on gaming sites, but given people wanted to see pokemon in 3D back then and most were young kids/teens when it came out, people excused the flaws.

The biggest selling point of Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 was being able to have your Pokemon on the Gameboy cartridge appear on the big screen. It was a dream come true for so many of us back in the day.

I bit off topic but am I the only one who thinks the current gaming year is a bit of a downgrade compared to last year's, so far I only brought one game from 2018.

I think the 3 games have aged rather well for the time they've been released, even if Mario 64 graphics look quite outdated these days and the camera can be annoying, but it was rather annoying already back in 1996, tbh.

I actually don't remember the camera being so awkward back then, but now I'm starting to see it. I'm trying to collect 120 starts in SM64 again, and I'm reminded of how much of a pain in the neck it was.
