And absolutely nothing whatsoever of value was lost. If anything, in fact, I would say that value has been gained via Kotick finally being flushed away. Marginally speaking, of course. It's still Activision BlizzardMicro$oft, after all.

Can't wait to see what immensely dumbshit company snaps him up in the future, though, wrongly thinking that's a great idea (e.g. Unity idiotically bringing in EA's Riccitiello).

"In Angry Video Game Nerd episode 212, The Nerd crosses another game off his bucket list with the Super Nintendo RPG classic, Final Fantasy III... or Final Fantasy VI as its known outside the States!"



Beware: Lots of major spoilers for the storyline of a 29 year old Super Nintendo game in this video, if that's the sort of thing you'd prefer to avoid.

Also, this a video in which the AVGN/James Rolfe is actually not particularly angry at all (outside of a small, somewhat forced, kind of unnecessary skit toward the end involving power outages [though it was nice seeing Mike Matei as Santa, I guess]).

Regarding his story about his childhood experience with FF6 that he tells at the start of the video, I had a similar experience with EarthBound. Though, in my case, I was more fortunate in that it happened when I was in my early 30s, rather than when I was a kid (or, rather, when I was 16, as EB was originally released in 1995 in the US), and after at least a couple dozen full playthroughs, rather than during my first one. It still sucked pretty bad, though, even then.
