the end of a-side
Posted: 24 Aug 2019, 01:43
man that sounds pretty theatrical with a title like that
anyway in 'coming up next' I've been talking about that for a bit, but I figure more people might want to know this that don't read 'coming up next' so I'm going to be copy and pasting what I wrote there verbatim. I'll just add here that c-side would remain c-side, all the sonics until the end of time

I don't know where to put this so I guess this will do
This is just a head's up that after the current lists are done, I will probably retire the notion of an 'a-side'. There still would be videos in the morning and in the evening, at the same time, but the distinction between a and b has become so muddled that I think it's gotten useless. The a-side made sense when there was a lot of romhacks and smbx episodes that peeps where excited about but I feel like that time is over, and I'm growing more and more open at playing a variety of things.
Naturally, whenever a big romhack or episode or whatever, I would definitely make it a priority to play it. But in between, rather than struggling to find stuff to play, I think I would rather just play things that seem interesting, you know?
The ultimate showcase of how silly this is, like, twice now I've played mario 64 hacks, right? These games have nothing to do with traditional mario 2d games, they are set-up differently, the goals are often extremely different, they are completely different games, but I'd play them in the morning because Mario's face is in there. Meanwhile, in the future I'll be playing a Hat in Time but this time on the b-side because instead of mario it's a girl. And Rayman Origin was some 2D gameplay, and it also had to live it up in B. It's just weird, right?
Anyway. I think this should be fine. I'm aware some of you don't care at all about this side and that side, but I know some people do, and I guess for those who do advance warning is good.
Though like I said I'll still be finishing the current list in it's entirely before the chaos begins.
Because man, *man* it's funny thinking that DK64 is going to be the last A game. The least 'a' game ever.
