There's the whole "it's so bad it's good" mentality, but The Room is so insufferably bad that it goes way passed the "it's good" part and just goes to being one of the most irritating movies I've ever seen.

Add on the weird cult following and it just gets worse, to me.

I think this really is just a personal preference deal. I WANT games with scores and grades. Come on, game, tell me that I'm horrible and that I need to do better! Maybe I'm into the punishment, I don't know. Played too much Bop It! as a kid and got used to the guy screaming when I messed up.

This is why I play so many arcade style games, and so many rhythm games. This is why communities for speedrunning, rhythm games, and high scores still exist - otherwise I would think I'm completely alone in this 😂

That's why [email protected] exists! I realize it's only me for now, but maybe someday I'll have people join me.

It is hard to just start conversations on your own but it really is kind of how you have to do it.

A few recommendations

Grand Magus is closer to the Ozzy style, especially if you're into the Black Sabbath stuff.

Cauldron are a really solid classic sounding heavy metal band.

I would love to recommend Scorpion Child But it's been a decade since they've released an album so I'm not sure what's going on, there.

Haunt are my favorite modern band who I think fit your style. These guys just keep getting better so far

Huh, I'll be honest I actually don't even know who that is. That's a new one to me.

But yeah, OJ sounds like a great name! I'll start the process ASAP. Absolutely nothing bad can come out of that

Thank you, it was a pretty crazy experience. Too many years in college and then years afterwards just job hopping - only to end up in the most unrelated career path possible. But hey, it all worked out ok!

That does make sense. It is no less infuriating 😂 but it makes sense.

Killer Instinct, arcade and SNES Killer Instinct 2 (arcade) which was kind of ported as Killer Instinct Gold (N64)

Those are my top tier without a doubt.

Bloody Roar : Primal Fury was absolutely excellent as well.

Right off the bat, the Dead Space series is pretty good. Crazy as it sounds, Dead Space: Extraction (a wii game that no one talks about, although it is also on the PS3) is probably my favorite in the series.

You can't go wrong with the Silent Hill series, and another possibly unpopular opinion is that Silent Hill 4 : The Room is probably my favorite. >

Now a real oddball pick. Is it the best game? No. Does it have an amazing story? No. But Obscure and Obscure 2 were a lot of fun of you're cool with "this is like a really low budget campy horror flick" kind of games. Played them with a buddy a few years ago and it was the most fun co-op experience I've had in ages.

"There's all these different buttons and they do different...stuff".

This line felt like it summed up the entire interview. Absolutely beautiful

Off of what I have record of - Stardew Valley. 387 hours on Steam, just over 200 hours on my Switch, and my current file on my phone is at 87 hours - not including previous files that I do not have anymore.

That being said, there are games that I bet would be up there as well but they don't record time so I have no way of knowing.

Minecraft, which has over 200 hours on my Switch alone despite most of my play time being on PC or my phone.

Starcraft: Brood War Super Smash Bro. Melee. I don't play these two much, anymore, but when I was young and didn't have much else of a life, these took up an incredible amount of my time.

I believe world let's your create new communities.

Weird issue that I had, but the name of the community you're making needs to be in all lowercase letters. Any chance that's the issue you're having?
