@Felthry @ShugoWah @Galuade @poss_bot It's called Dragon Quest because it always drags on 💣​💥​

@Felthry @Galuade @poss_bot @ShugoWah Morrowind = Tomorrow + Wind; you start by having a weird dream during a sea storm that serves as a premonition of dangers to come

Skyrim = rim (edge) of the sky; we got really tall mountains here

@Felthry @poss_bot @ShugoWah I think VP makes a lot of sense AND it's a great pun

It's a character study of a valkyrie, and it uses a 2D side view (profile) perspective

@Felthry @poss_bot If this is gonna become another list thread I'm game

Devil Survivor -- this one I like because it almost parses but is something no English speaking person would ever say

@Felthry Yeah. In many cultures, giving things foreign-sounding names gives them an air of mystery or prestige (e.g. you can order "filet mignon" but not "tender beef"). Japanese media often does this with loanwords from English or other European languages.

@Felthry WHOOPS I kinda typed it wrong, it's "Oratorio Tangram". It's a pretty thesaurus name but

Oratorio = a large-scale opera
Tangram = a puzzle about rearranging shapes

So it's basically a fancy way of saying "Virtual On: Grand Remix". Tangram is also the name of one of the game's villains.

I love VOOT (joke) 

@poss_bot still want the modern reboot of this franchise with animal mechs

@Felthry @poss_bot @Galuade @ShugoWah @Moot @Crocabit Virtual On is a one-on-one mecha fighting game from the 90s featuring a behind-the-back camera and a dual stick control scheme. It's played split screen or on separate displays.

VOOT is "Virtual On Ontario Tangram", the Dreamcast version of the game.

I love VOOT (joke)

Opossum
Tails

@poss_bot Like it actually lets me use my wii u pro controller with the switch and that feels great

@poss_bot For what it's worth, I also have one of those and use it every day

I can't install my graphics card drivers so I guess I'm gonna do a Windows 10 fresh start. What should I know before I do this?
