Dude it's soo good to see you alive and well. I missed Friday Night Arcade.
Missed you too buddy.
Here’s to another bunch of years of FNA. Glad you’re up to doing vids again.
My step-brother and I also watched War of the Worlds - The Series when we were kids, and it freaked him out. I clearly remember stuffing an empty coat sleeve into a pocket, and using my free hand to make a Vulcan-style claw through a front button to make him think I was a host! He told and I was forbidden to watch the show thereafter… I deserved it.
I mean... that is a next level troll job on your step brother... but yeah... you deserved it lol!
A Sunday treat! You’ve been missed dude!
Missed you too, thank you 🙏
I used to watch the War of the Worlds tv show back in the day. I remember the aliens took on human form to obviously save in the production budget. I want to get the series on dvd to see if it still hold up.
I just bought it... Have only watched the 2-hr pilot so far and I really liked it. Some but not all of the acting was pretty bad but overall enjoyed the way it was done. I always liked Jared Martin and Paul Chaves a lot on this show.
@@FridayNightArcade I've seen Season 1 so far, and although there is a high cheese-factor and a lot of incredulous leaps in logic, there is no denying the fun. It's also rather gory and ahead of its time with certain concepts that The X-Files seemed to popularize about five years later. I feel like if War of the Worlds had come out as a TV series about five or six years later, it would have been lifted by the early '90s boom in Ufology that had been sparked by Area 51 and other stuff.
For sure the cheese is a bit high with this one, but I enjoyed that as a kid and wasn't turned off by it on the rewatch. It was like tuning in to see what the heroes were gonna do against the aliens each week no different than the old Ninja Turtles were gonna do against Shredder or something lol. And it definitely paved the way for X-Files with the gore and Ufology elements. Glad to know others enjoyed this show! And that's a good point about the timing. People probably just weren't really ready for a show like this. It was a weird era of first run syndication shows too because studios were trying to capitalize on Star Trek TNG's success with that model.
My family actually saw a decent amount of UFOs when I was a kid. The neighboring town had a bit of a reputation for being a hotspot.
We witnessed a lot of the classic types like the mini orb clusters that would combine and separate. There was once this single large orb that could adjust its brightness and travel across the entire visible sky in under a second, stop on a dime, leaving a huge streak of light in its travel path, then convert its light configuration into that of a normal human plane and slowly fly around. I think it was trying to express to us that they can disguise themselves as human craft if they desire.
I think the most impressive though was a giant black triangle with blue lights around the edges and in the center. It was just hovering silently over the woods at a hill top. We saw it as we exited a movie theater one night and we just watched it. It’s such an unusual feeling because we were confronted with something that didn’t fit into our worldview at the time. I looked over at my parents like “what should we do” and they were like “I don’t know”. It was a strange situation.
This was during the 2012 Age Of Aquarius transition. We didn’t know about the significance of the date at the time but it makes sense now looking back.
I eventually found a book called The Law Of One and that got me into the whole ET thing. Knowing what I do know, if I could go back, I’d want to tell them something like:
“Hello. I hope we can be friends, and thank you.”
Glad to see you back man. Always looked forward to your uploads every week. Hope you are going to start doing regular uploads again.
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏 ... Definitely still here and lots more show ideas in the oven.
So great to see you back Aaron. Amazing video man. Thanks so much for the hard work put into your videos. I hope you and the fam are doing well!
The little girl from War of the Worlds tv show holding a sign to the car window image always stuck with me for some reason, also the main characters ability to fall asleep whenever.
Yeah he'd make Susan drive everywhere so he could get a nap in 🤣
The return of the king.
Welcome back
So glad to hear from you. No lie, I’ve been thinking about you over the past week and wondering when we’d hear from you again. Hope all is well with the bambino’s and the Mrs. hopefully you guys are getting some sleep these days. ;) Ao glad you are a new video from you and I hope this means we will be seeing a few more in the future? ;)
Hey thanks so much. Things are great; they're getting big which comes with its own set of challenges lol, but they are sleeping through the night so we'll take that. But we're in a good place now where I should be able to get episodes out on a more consistent basis. Probably not weekly anytime soon but at least 1-2 a month :) - I've greatly missed everyone on here though so thanks a ton for sticking around during the hiatus!
Speaking of obscure War of the World sequels, I highly recommend the movie War of the Worlds: Goliath. And basically plays out like a steampunk version of Independence Day and is a sequel to the original book, not any of the movies
You know, I think I remember hearing about that somewhere and then just completely forgot it existed 24 hours later lol. Did that air on Sci-Fi channel or something back in the day? Will have to look for it. Thanks for the reminder.
I would love to see a deep dive into older obscure shows! Great work as always 👌
Was missing FNA. Glad you're back Aaron!
Glad to see you back.
I have spent YEARS looking for Alien Anarchy. I had it on a random disc and while I remember it being terrible, I remember it being compelling because of the amount of effort that went into it despite its insane jank.
Genuinely I am so thrilled right now, you just solved a long time mystery for me, I've spent time browsing lists of early 3D pc games to try and find that game.
Thank you FDA.
Great to see ya back. Been missing seeing your episodes. Great work on this one. Hope to see more come along in the near future. Stay safe and take care
What I loved about the Atari 2600 version of Space Invaders is that each row of aliens looked different!
Oh, and I used to watch the War of the Worlds TV series too! That show was just so freaky! I remember the opening credit sequence of the 2nd season being exceptionally bleak!
A nice, long video. Excellent
I love how you refer to Super Probotector as Contra III. You really have a vivid imagination!
Getting to this now.... and really enjoying it! Welcome Back!
so good to see you again. hope the whole family is well!
Glad to see you back! When you were talking about the Independence Day game all I could think was “StarFox 64 did is so much better in that one level” and then…. LOL. Great video as always
Used to take the lesser path through SF64 just to play that level lol... glad to know others did as well :)
@@FridayNightArcade the first time I discovered it I was with a couple of friends. We all lost our minds when we saw that level. I’m right there with you in enjoying the alien stuff. Like you, I grew up watching X=Files, Unsolved Mysteries, and even that silly Fact or Fiction show that Jonathan Frankie’s hosted. LOL
Great to have you back!
Great video! A followup/ part 2 alien invasion games like you mentioned would be awesome. Especially some X-Files point and click game coverage.
THANKS FOR COMING BACK! YOU'VE BEEN GREATLY MISSED, BRO!
Awesome to see you post for Halloween, FNA! I was actually itching for some of your ol' MacVentures reviews earlier this week, so I rewatched your reviews of Shadowgate and Uninvited, etc. lol.
This was a great topic for the season (I have been listening to MANY a spooky podcast about mysterious disappearances this month, just trying to get into the Halloween mood. If you're a fan of aliens and stuff, but haven't listened to podcasts from the Beyond Creepy, Monsters Among Us and/or Missing Persons Mysteries channels, I highly recommend them... though they both speak pretty slowly so I bump up the speed on their videos to 1.5x) and it's always fun to see an FNA video, _especially_ since your schedule has slowed down since the COMPLETELY REASONABLE event of having your newborn twins to take care of. Every video dropped is precious now, haha. I freakin' _LOVE_ Body Harvest too, so I will be looking forward for whenever you can get around to making a Part 2... probably for next Halloween, I assume. Gonna be fun to hear your thoughts on those old X-Files games too, I'm sure 😃I hear they're actually surprisingly good!
I can't believe you played the Varginha Incident instead of any of the Area 51 games (Arcade, Xbox/PS2 or Blacksite for the PS360 era consoles). I saw Civvie11 play Alien Anarchy and, yeah, it seems like _total garbage._ Fun to talk about though! Oh, and you're not old - I had 'To the Earth' as a kid and it was one of mine (and my sister's) most hated titles for the NES, lol. It's just unfun.
About that 'War of the Worlds' show, I for one would love to see you do a TV show video sometime; I imagine it would be like a pleasant American version of Stam Fine's videos (if you've not seen that channel, you totally should check it out). I suggest considering making a new side-series for the channel though; "Friday Night Matinee" or something, so you can talk about old movies and TV. It would be weird to have that kind of content under the Friday Night Arcade banner as far as the titles of your vids go.
Btw, is the start bar on your home PC _along the top of the monitor_ or am I seeing things? I've legitimately never seen that before. Anyway, congrats on the 8-year anniversary! Thanks for all the great, entertaining content - it's always fun to hear your thoughts on older games in that unique, FNA-patented chill and pleasant manner. Also, even though you didn't say it at the end here, I will continue to not text and drive. I always liked that signoff; just one of those things that is good to remind people of. Some people really need to hear that kind of thing every once in awhile.
Hey thanks so much for your message and the kind words! Yeah, there were so many more games I wanted to cover for this episode. Those Area 51 games were on the list although I'd covered one in the Arcade Gun Games episode, but there were others. I wanted to get this episode out in time for Halloween but ran into a few technical snags and it was either rush through those others or just bag 'em for a Part 2.
I think I chose Alien Anarchy more so I could just tell the story about the Varginha Incident lol. Took it upon myself as a challenge to see how many Ufology nuggets I could cram into a video without making the video entirely about UFOs :D .. I have no idea what's true or not but there have been so many crazy developments in the last few years, we may actually find out. I grew up a UFO kid. I was all about outer space anyway. Must have read Target: Earth a hundred times from the school library. It was this choose your own adventure book about an alien invasion. Unsolved Mysteries, X-Files, War of the Worlds. I was all-in.
Kinda got out of it for awhile as the rigors of adulthood set in but then after 2017 when the NYT story hit I got back into it a bit. Listening to Cmdr. David Fravor tell the story of the Nimitz Incident in 2004 is compelling. And then yeah, when the pandemic hit as well as being stuck at home taking care of newborns... there were many sleepless nights spent listening to random podcasts while doing 3am feedings ha. Thanks for the suggestions on those btw, will have to check them out. I personally love That UFO Podcast. It's just super chill and the hosts are funny but also have some healthy skepticism baked in and they always seem to have really good guests. Last week they interviewed Jacques Vallée!
Have seriously considered doing a deep dive into some older TV shows or even just picking a specific episode and talking about it, researching any behind the scenes stuff about it, etc. Thanks for mentioning that. I threw that line in there as a bit of a teaser to gauge interest. I'd like to deep dive into some older movies as well.
Yeah... I have an odd setup. I've got multiple monitors at my desk - a lot of times when editing I use a standing thing (which is technically visible in the head's up shot because I'm dumb and forgot to move it lol). So I need to be able to see the Start menu while I'm standing at my desk. But I've my main monitor split off to that TV in the background and there's a couch in here facing that monitor in case I want to play a game on the couch... can go between OG hardware and emulators or whatever on the PC if needed. Or sometimes I plop down and edit from the couch lol. So I still need to be able to see the Start menu on the main monitor instead of moving it to one of the other monitors visible at my desk. It's a hodgepodge in here but I think I finally got it the way I want it finally... might do an FNA HQ tour if people are interested.
Cheers!
@@FridayNightArcade Hope you had a Happy Halloween! I was working at my normal job at a hospital, so I didn't do anything. My hours are weird and sometimes long like today/tonight/last night/whatever, so that's why it took me awhile to reply, lol. Thanks for answering everything I mentioned though!
Definitely gonna be listening to That UFO Podcast tonight. "Spooky Month" may officially be over as a I type this, but now I'm pretty addicted to these types of podcasts when I'm working on stuff here on my PC. Thanks for mentioning it!
That setup makes more sense now too - thanks for explaining it. It was a little thing, but it was just something I noticed so I'm glad I know why it is the way it is now. That's actually pretty neat!
Really enjoyed this episode!
There is a C64 game called Save New York you should review. In that game, flying aliens try to literally eat the New York skyline, and you play an Air Force type character who shoots them down. But what made that game cool was actual collapse physics. If the enemies ate an entire level of a building, the building would collapse up to that point and you would be penalized for not keeping the city safe.
They then took it to the next level by the flying enemies dropping larvae that hatch, go into the subway, and eat the buildings from below. At that point, you have to go into the subways and shoot the larva.
Niiiice, I'll have to track that down. Thanks for sharing!
i was also scared of ET as a kid. Feel ya on that.
Props for bringing up The War Of The World Series!
No one seems to remember that show, I actually have a vhs rip of most of the episodes
The ET guys in Redneck Rampage always reminded me of the aliens in Mac and Me.
Nice episode as usual mate, I really missed your videos.
Long Live Friday Night Arcade!
👾
i remember seeing something in my granma house, a slow really brigth light that slowly moved to a side, far away over the mountains, after more than 5 minutes seeing it, it doubled its vertical size and tripliqued is horizontal size, stayed a few more minutes and disapeared, the weird thing is, some minutes later, 2 mirage F-1 apeared and started to fly around the zone for a few minutes...
about alien invasion games? well, there is command and conquer tiberian wars, with the scrin invasion, or earth defense force 4.1 and 5, and then is also starship troopers terran command
One of the best channels talking about the biggest fear I had as a kid! Greyhill Incident looks fantastic.
Fire in the Sky scared the ever livin' crap out of me as a kid lol
(even though it's nothing like what Travis Walton actually described from his alleged encounter, don't care, still scared me as a kid)
Yeah I remember watching the war of the world series as a kid. I was rather young then and all I remember was that the aliens weren't killed by the bacteria but only in a coma or something and they developed an immunity. Also they were kidnapping people for some reason.
Yay a new Friday Night Arcade!!! Where have you been my friend? Wait a minute...you're one of them! In Star Fox you play as talking animals in "Arwings." If that isn't alien I don't know what is.
"What's your mission spaceman? If your here to surrender we accept. If you're here to make war, we surrender." *bonus points if you get the reference. ;)
great post! Maybe top five of all your entries!! well done FNA
Great choices here; I had a legitimate laugh out loud when you pointed out how just one stage in Star Fox 64 was a better Independence Day game than the actual Independence Day game. Might have to try out the other versions of Bart vs. the Space Mutants, too; as much as I liked the puzzle elements of the first stage, it was a pretty big disappointment that you only had SLIGHT amounts of that in the final stage, and just about nothing throughout the rest of the game.
As for UFO encounters, I actually have had one, but unfortunately, it's a bit light on details, since I was just a baby at the time; everything I know is secondhand from my dad. From what I remember, he described something shaped almost like a 4-point star, but with more rounded edges, and all kinds of colored lights cycling around the underside over our field. It hovered there for a while, and then was just gone in an instant, making absolutely no sound when it left. He said he has all the details written down somewhere, but where that might be is anyone's guess; I'd love to read it for myself.
Alien Storm is also great on the Master System. Anyway, there is also an alien invasion in the SNES game I have played this weekend, X-Kaliber 2097. The plot is that Neo New York is ruled by an evil man who actually takes orders from alien invaders (there is a plot twist after you defeat the bad guy). Great action game with a stellar soundtrack, by the way.
Sounds awesome - thanks for sharing will have to check that out.
Great work Sir thank you
cool video, 2 days ago I went off searching for your channel to see if anything new I missed. Alot of strange things in the sky, on my drive at night saw a green orb flying real fast from north to south on the border of tx. It illuminated the clouds that were under it.
When ovnis disappeared with the arrival of digital cameras
XD
And more x files tv serie
XD
Loved the video, a lot of great memories playing the redneck rampage series!
@Friday Night Arcade
You're back! Good episode!
Awesome video thank you
Hey Aaron I hope all is well so glad to see a new episode you definitely made my day for sure
Who doesn't miss A-aron? Glad you're back! Also you look… younger? How is that possible after having kids?
Missed you too 🙏 .... lol CGI de-aging, Hollywood trick photography and occasionally having all bodily fluids replaced with synthetics my friend
Nice use of the WotW TV end credits theme there! My Dad and I used to watch the hell out of this show! Col. Ironhorse was my favorite character in the series when I was a youngster. Now, I'd have to go with Drake. Great video BTW!
Col. Ironhorse was the man. Love Richard Chaves.
It was great to see a new video, it's been a minute, lol. I always enjoy your content!
E.T. scared the ever loving hell out of me as a kid. Terrifying movie.
Aaron!!!, great to see a new video. I hope everything is well and congrats on eight years of UA-cam. Greyhill Incident looks awesome and gives me X-Files vibes, I'd never heard of it but it's on my wish list now.
It's so good to see another video by you my man! 😊🤘 So cool!
surprised you didnt include original x-com UFO defense that game is so good.
There were a lot more I wanted to get in so I'm saving them for a part 2 for sure
Your explanation of the incident in Varginha is very good. I haven't seen the documentary but I think it must be good as it kept you well informed about the case. I'm Brazilian and I was a child when the media here reported this case in the time and the alleged alien scared me as hell and I coundn't sleep for several nights 😅 too bad Alien Anarchy is awful. I remember reading an article about this game in a brazilian computer games magazine and be hyped to play it.
The EARTH DEFENSE FORCE series is tremendously fun.
Will definitely have to check that out - thanks!
Love it ! More of your channel is what the doctor ordered!
🙏
One day some good years ago, I was just laying down on the porch in my house (I'm From Brazil so porchs here are kinda different, they're more closed spaces, not as much in the open as in USA). My eyes were closed but I feel the light of something penetrating my eyelids. When I opened my eyes I saw an grey spherical shiny thing, like made of an very polished metal. It was a few meters From me, like observing me. I got startled from it and jumped on my feet, as I did so it just flew away at a very, very fast speed. I saw it getting Very high in the air and Just flying very fast to the sky above. It was the size of an football ball, and kinda shaped like one too. I remember this to this day and still gives me goosebumps.
(This was more than 10 years ago, so domestic drones weren't a thing, Just to discard that)
Whoa! That had to be unnerving. It takes your brain a minute to even process what's happening since you're just like, not expecting to see whatever that is and then trying to figure out what's going on in a matter of seconds and the fight or flight probably kicks in. Thanks for sharing.
@@FridayNightArcade yeah it was a very surreal experience. For a long while after this I was really scared about this thing coming back or if it had put something on me without I noticing It or whatever. Well this was more than 10 years ago so I guess I'm safe 😂
YOU LIVE! Welcome back.
very funny vid! another great one!
B-Movie (called Invasion from Beyond in North America) - inspired by the science fiction B-movies of the 1950s. Martians are out to take over the Earth and you pilot various aircraft to stop them.
AND
Blasto - Captain Blasto (played by the late great Phil Hartman) has to save the solar system and rescue the gorgeous space babes from the clutches of an alien tyrant and his invading army in this intentionally cheesy tongue in cheek action platformer
Oh man, those sound cool. Thanks for sharing, will have to check those out.
Also I miss Phil Hartman a lot.
@@FridayNightArcade I miss him too. Such a tragedy.
heck yes. glad to see you back and another great video. take care and don't let the kids beat you down.
Thank you sir hope you're doing well 🙏
Thanks for the new content! If you did some videos about obscure TV shows, that would be cool.
Missed you! I loved DK3d
Love your channel. Great voice!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
Loved the 80s War of the Worlds series! It was a great show!
If there is a kid in outer space doing a science project on human beings, he'd have to say we're all crazy.
100% agreed.
always good to see your uploads! i look forward to your new videos more than AVGN even
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I watched war of the worlds the series as a kid and I loved it.
I think your opening audio is outta sync, regardless great work. Good to see ya hope your Well and not getting bamboozled by the power of 2
Please do part 2 and cover alien newer games!
He back! Back in the new York...
None of the DUke games were developed by Gearbox. They were all Apogee/3D Realms. Gearbox helped get Forever out, and released the World Tour Edition of 3D. That's it. Everything else was Apogee/3D Realms. Except for the spin offs.
Welcome back!
I own that Simpsons game, and I don't think I got too far before always thinking 'yep, this is an impossible game'
I really need to check out the Genesis version of Bart Vs Space Mutants.
I’m looking forward to when Earth Defense Force 6 comes out.
Wouldn't Mario Bros count? Mario isn't exactly from that world and he does stomp on a lot of the residents...
I tend to do sci fi day on Mondays & Fridays ET documentaries and shows.. I also like collecting games like Xcom and Destroy All Humans.. The whole topic fascinates me..
It's been awhile FNA! Hope you're doing well!
I really liked the 2005 War OfThe Worlds. So that game looks good.
That War of the Worlds series was a favorite of mine. I think it ended on a cliffhanger. Shame.
Nice. It didn't end on a cliffhanger so much as it had a really bizarre shift in tone from S1 to S2 and not necessarily for the better. But the producers were informed it wouldn't be picked up for S3 so they did get to write and film a proper kind of an ending to the thing that most were satisfied with. First season was still my favorite though.
Don't forget the EDF series, should you make a sequel video!
Man I was so disappointed by Independence Day after the movie
Okay all, I want more FNA so sign up and support in Patreon!
That's kind of you to say, Chad but honestly I'm just happy if people watch :)
All aliens look like Elvis. They don't look like klingons or spock or any of that star trek jive.........they look like Elvis ! Elvis ! ELVIS !!!
Welcome back! (I hope). 😎
😎
You haven’t linked the UAP sources. I was really curious
It's all in a pinned comment above 👍
I WILL GO FULL RANDY QUAID IF I DAMN WELL PLEASE!! DRUNKEN SANTA BEARD AND ALL!! GOOD DAY TO YOU FINE SIR!!! Now where's the snooty emoji?
He didn't tell me not to text and drive so I'm gonna do it
Of course they don't know what they are; that's why they are unidentified.
My wording wasn't the best, but basically what I was feebly trying to articulate is that the government's previous responses to public reports of UFOs had always been an emphatic and dismissive, "they're not real; stop asking."
Now their official response is, "um... yeah.. .they're real and we don't know what the hell they are either, but we're pretty sure they're not Russia or China."
That's kinda significant, eh?
2021 Preliminary UAP Report from ODNI:

that war of the worlds series was my shit. that and the friday the 13th series and V ..
🛸👽🤘
Please cover Roswell on PS1. It is based on a cartoon. I it is a 3rd person shooter.
I am a big UFO buff but also a big historian buff... And this is what I learned through my life and experience. People loves to use stories to convey messages... It's all around us. Take all the classic Princess Disney movies, if you take time to read and analyze the original stories, you will discover that all the tales are life and sex education... The same with horror stories. There is a reason we all forgot. Nature when it was still wild was a very scary place and dangerous place. There was a lot of animals and light was still not invented. The last thing you wanted is your kids to wander at night and be attacked by animals or miss a danger... I can even say the same about the Bible. It is just a story, even if in that particular case, it was created for a lot of reasons... The same goes with UFO. I have absolutely no doubts life exists in the Universe. We, humans, are not special at all. But when you take your car and drive from Kansas City to Los Angeles, you don't crash along the way... And travelling through space is much more complex than travelling on a planet, under gravity. Just pooping is a real challenge. It doesn't add up that Aliens travel accross the Universe to just crash on our planet... That said, at the opposite, you are in a middle of a cold war, what better threat can you get that telling your opponent: "I have an UFO that crashed on my land and I recovered their technology, be careful". (Added advantage: you have now all the spying ressource focus on BS and not on what you really doing, BIG win). Or, you are the director of a magazine or a TV show, you need to make money, what easier way to hook people on mystery and UFO in particular?
No I hear you. I was in that same place about UFOs for a long time. I'm still kinda there but more open minded. I've always thought the Universe was far too big for it to be just us, that much is certain.
But also the Universe is so big and so unfathomably old... that's a big part of it is the timing. Humans have really only been walking the earth maybe a few hundred thousand years? The time it takes a civilization to rise up, discover technologies making it capable of interstellar travel and then be able to find us in the middle of all of the nothingness. There could have been entire other civilizations that came and went before our planet even finished cooling. So for a long time I'd soured on the idea of visitation. That and the lack of any real concrete evidence. Roswell is such a cold case at this point - you're going off the testimony of a bunch of dead people. And the kid in me that was infatuated with X-Files and Unsolved Mysteries took a backseat to bills and the everyday grind.
The 2004 Nimitz Incident is the case that hooked me back in. I have no idea what Cmdr. David Fravor saw on November 14, 2004. I'll say I'm not beholden to any one hypothesis and there could well be completely mundane explanations for every UFO sighting. Played up the aliens angle for a bit of tongue and cheek with this episode, but I wouldn't be shocked if it all just turns out to be secret tech or something. I'd just really like to know one way or the other. That case is probably the gold standard for all UFO cases. It's displaying bizarre flight characteristics and doing stuff none of our known 2004 level tech could do. Multiple credible witnesses in the air and onboard two separate aircraft carriers monitoring with radar equipment. Even a little video clip. It's a fascinating story.
Could this all be a psyop by the government? I certainly don't rule that out. But if that's the case there's a whole other set of economical and sociological issues that need to be addressed. Like the fact that our tax dollars are potentially funding research into highly advanced and possibly clean sustainable propulsion and yet, our society is still allowed to rely on fossil fuels despite the ecological impacts. There's such a push/pull between Big Oil and clean energy. So with all of that in mind... I just wanna know what it is one way or the other and hopefully we can find out in our lifetimes.
@@FridayNightArcade I posted a comment on UA-cam so it is lacking all the nuances. Sometimes you do crash when you are driving. But just on your point of timing and civilization, there is so much to say. When we see the challenge we are facing right now, can a civilization access to advance point that easily? It's clearly a major challenge.
I have seen an UFO once, while I was flying on a commercial plane, at the dawn of the day. But I rapidily came to the conculsion that despite what my eyes were seeing (a traditional metallic saucer/cigar) it was probably just an optical illusion: it was strangely keeping the same pace and the same distance to the airplane, and the shape would change if I moved my head. That's also an important point, our eyes are bad but our brain is even worst... I always say there is no bigger liar than our own brain! We all know, think about childhood, you remember great memories or traumatic ones... You can't recall your boring everyday activities....
Roswell is for me the typical cold war explanation... Add to it radio and radio shows were super popular at the time, it was easy to believe... But I don't dismiss any of your remarks. I have zero certitude, just a lot of questions. What I share are my conclusions (as of today), not facts. I do agree that the governement would not share the info of a third type encounter and I totally get why. I would do the same thing!
Come on man where r u
I don't agree with you on Bart vs the Space Mutants. The controls are worse.
You still have to press two buttons at the same time to perform a long jump and it doesn't work as well as in the NES version (or even the Master System version).
They should have used the C-button for the long jump but they didn't.
I can beat the NES game, I can beat the Master System game. The Genesis version I can't and I blame the controls.
Apart from the graphics the NES version wins in every department.
I felt like the extra button helped because you could use it for your selected item. And it defaulted back to your sunglasses after a few seconds which was helpful.
Yeah, you still had the jump/run button issue but I felt like the controls were overall smoother to where it didn't matter as much. But also it could be one of those things where if you've played it on the NES, the Genesis controls will screw up muscle memory. But I get what you're saying. At the end of the day, just pick the one you want :)
I have that issue going from NES Ninja Gaiden to SNES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. The SNES controls just feel absolutely wrong for me and I can't articulate why lol.
Hello boys IM BACK!!!!!!!
Just because someone believes something doesn't inherently make it valuable, intriguing or compelling. If I told you I was in fact Clark Kent/superman brought to life by a child's wish and I sincerely believed it, that would be sad and troubling not interesting.
........ what?
