Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 1 Gexup's Wish

Before you read this blog, I strongly recommend reading yesterday's blog on my Top 2 Favorite Years Ever! It really reflect on who I am as a person, not just a meme who a lot of people just want to hear his opinion. So here we are! On the 12th day of Gexup's Christmas and the final present from me to you guys! It sure as hell a fun time writing these blogs as you got a chance to know me more than ever before! I bet you all want more of it and that's alright I wish there were more of Christmas than 12 Days. And when it comes to wishes, it's a psychological need of owning something or having something to actually happen. Now I will admit that I can sometimes be the greediest person ever.



When I love something with a great passion, I just want nothing else but more of it. It's just like movies, everyone bitches if a movie is too long, but I say a 2-3 hour movie is too short because the film is rushing to make it to the end, there's not enough screen time for all the characters, and the experience is a bit slim despite how well made the film actually is. Of course you can't finish a 4-5 hour movie, so why not just stop, take a break, and watch more of it from where you last left off later? You can't finish many video games, books, and an entire tv series in a single day, you have to stop and return to it later so why do we have to have a need to finish movies so quickly? See what I mean by me asking for more than what I got? I'm a really greedy individual. And like every gamer, I can never be 100% satisfied because  there's at least a video game series where it didn't have enough sequels while others just have more than enough to hog up the spotlight. That's why I've made videos like "Jak 4 Must be Made," "Gex 4 Must Be Made," continuously hope that Oddworld would make another installment, and SO many more! I know that I shouldn't be greedy because I'm in a comic book school and I'm engaged, but the thing I ask for the most is just happiness. So if there was a chance to make only one wish to come true, [just one], this is the only thing that I want so badly than anything else (except for getting a wonderful career, keep loved ones alive, and get married).

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 2 Years of My Life

Sometimes when life gets so stressful, difficult, and unfair you want to just remember the old days. Though our memory is always foggy, the most important thing is that it not only stays with you in your mind but also in your heart as well. I'm a type a guy that loves to reminisce about the past and move on in hopes that in the future your days would be as special as the days you remember. Memory is perhaps the most important thing for you because you have to remember how to walk, how to do things, who's the members of your family, your friends, what you did yesterday, where you placed your stuff, where you supposed to be at, and many more! As quoted to one of my favorite songs from Dismemberment Plan "The only thing worse than bad memories, is no memories at all" and if there was one thing I wish I can do is to remember almost everything, even some of my regrets. But the one thing most people always tell me what I'm good at is my memory because when I tell someone remember the time, they forgot about it whether their memory jogs in or its forever forgotten. Surprisingly enough I can remember our apartment address in our first home in Korea, the names of all of my elementary school teachers, my first kiss, the places that I first met my closest friends, so many of them I still will never trade any of them for the world. Nobody will ever care for all of your memories except you and you must do what you can to keep remembering them. And that's why I play a ton of retro games, watch old movies/cartoons, read really old comic books/strips, keep old objects, and eat the same foods that taste the same all those years ago to keep reminding myself of the people that I used to play and thoughts I had when I played each game. Think of it, every single game I've played I have memories to cherish, even the bad games like Hey You! Pikachu! I've been gaming my entire life. There was never a time that I could remember that I never played a video game (except for Mass Effect 3), but when I want to remember a particular event in my life and I don't have the pictures or video recording that my folks kept, I usually go to a particular level/area of a game and remind myself on what I was thinking at that very spot. It's wondrous on how the human brain works!



But whenever I have a copy of a game, DVD/Blue Ray, and other things, I always look at the back of the label and see what year it was released/made. I don't know why, but I always want to know what year did I miss out on these things when they were released or what time did this remind me of when I first saw it. I always like to keep in track of all the years that has passed in my life like a record book. And today's list I'm counting down the two of the best years of my life from 1990 to 2014. Now, as for the past couple of years, it has been really difficult for not only horrible experiences with games but also current events like the Tsunami and Earthquakes in 3/11/11, the health problem that I've had in 2013 that send me to the hospital, and other personal matters in my life. Hell, even though I cherish almost everything from the 90's, I also had a lot of bad memories and experiences as well. So what I'm getting at is that even though I have selected two of the best year of my life that doesn't mean that I didn't have a bad day. I don't believe in a perfect year, but when there are more good days than bad, then it should say that you had a good year. So here is probably my most personal blog that I've ever posted on the internet! So feel honored to see Gexup in a different light from these two years of my life.

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 3 of Gexup's Gaming Accomplishments

Sometimes, there's always a game where your friends and other people can't do, but when you finally gave it a shot and accomplished it, you screamed on the top of your voice…


I notice a lot of people like to brag about what they've done in gaming because this is an interactive media where we play so much that we want competition to our gaming skills. Surprisingly enough I only have 3 gaming accomplishments that I will always cherish. When I look at accomplishments, I look at it like nobody has ever done it before and still keep the memories of doing it! So that means an accomplishment is NOT about beating a game (almost everyone has beaten a game), not about getting a stupid achievement or trophy from PS3 or Xbox 360, and I'm not talking about finishing a game with the highest difficulty. I am, of course just talking about some accomplishments that I've made and haven't seen anyone that did the same. So check this list out!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 4 Boss Fights

Happy New Year, everyone! And what a way for itstailtime.net to start 2014 with a new list by me! Today, I'm going to count down the 4 biggest highlights in (most) video games, and that's the boss fights! For me, a video game (no matter what genre it's from) needs to have plenty of boss fights throughout the experience. I've seen a lot that are great, some mediocre, and some horrible. But in this list, we're counting down my favorites ever! These are the four bosses that I worked my ass off getting through the progression of the game learning more and more on how to play each game and then at the end we get tested to see if we learned enough to face a foe much harder than the others. Keep in mind that these aren't the final bosses only, these are the bosses that given me great pleasure and honor in battling them.


As stated already, boss fights are tests to see if you're capable enough to handle all the challenges that the developer have offered. But we sometimes get so invested in the game that it doesn't look like a test anymore, but rather our journey and destination to the bosses that face our path to finishing the game. Sometimes we take these bosses as our own personal enemy, because we fell like the character, and we want nothing more than to beat their ass. But not just simply beating their ass, but we want it to be captivating, gripping, challenging, and thrilling to face them only to have us left eager to challenge them again. This is what makes these villains a character to us by showing how engaged they want us to loose as much as we want to win. A great boss fight shouldn't really be all trial and error and then hit their weak spot (Mario series), but rather an equal rival that is believable enough that can finish you off, like a bully in school. The last thing we want is a boss fight that only have a couple more hit-point than your normal enemy in the game (again the Mario series), but should be intelligent enough to strike at will and make it feel like a threat. And lastly, we want to have the biggest reward after we defeat them because nothing is like facing a worthy foe to feel so rewarding after making it this far and have complete fulfillment when victory is yours! There are so many to choose from but I only have four picks to choose as my favorite. Share with me your favorites in the forums, but here's my list!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 5 Most Disappointing Last Gen Games

As stated in my last list, I am not a fan of gaming in last Gen because of all the reasons I've stated yesterday. I know that not every console generation is perfect, but if there are more negatives than positives, then the 7th generation of consoles could seize that moment! I could be the most critical person of last generation of consoles (despite my view points of being a retro gamer) because the many times I've got screwed over by developers who given me incomplete games, horrible game endings, and many more to list down! I can easily say that this could be the worst generation of gaming because of how badly abused the consumers all were and the worst part of all is there are suckers everywhere letting these corporate assholes get away with it by taking their hard working money on them. For that reason alone we're going to have many more of them and it's now time for me to move on and stop begin a modern gamer because I'm going to loose way money more than I hope for.


It's easy for some of you guys to have parents to buy them all for you, but my brother and I had jobs trying to earn enough cash to buy games that we hope would be entertaining or worth keeping, but only to feel upset to completely dissatisfied. We could have spend all those $60 worth games to get anything more valuable than these worthless interactive programs that dares to call themselves entertainment. Out here in Japan, there is no rental game store like what you guys have in America and elsewhere. Of course, we as gamers have no right to barge in and tell these developers and publishers how to make these games, so just like any media, we spend our money and we take our chances with them.

In this list, I'm of course NOT counting the "worst games" from Last Gen., because anyone can pick any shuffleware from the Wii which is a dead giveaway. I'm only counting the games that have been shoved in our faces so many damn times that they've persuaded us to buy it and towards the end, we feel like fools once we finished the game. These are the games that created so much anticipation, but turned out to be another way to takes our money from our wallets, so I'm not counting any shooter game because there was absolutely no anticipation for me to play titles like fucking Call of Duty or Battlefield to be entertained or even worthy to put in my game collection. You MUST have anticipation first in order to be disappointed and that's the only way a game from last gen to make it on this very list!

There are just so many bad games from this generation to count, but I'm selecting only 5 games from this gigantic shit pile. Instead of doing honorable mentions for this list, go replay any of Boochow's game of the year award shows and look up the disappointing games category that we've awarded and nominated because there are more than enough of them to count! With that being said, here is probably my most controversial picks and my most angriest list I've ever written! So here it is!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 6 Last Gen Games

As we're heading for the 8th Generation of video games consoles, let's reflect back to the 7th Gen before it officially closes doors. What's important about last gen was that it was that around the time when the PS3, 360, and Wii came out, it was the first time I started to get my very own YouTube account that you all know as me, gexup. I started doing these videos because I wanted to reach out to those who remembers the many games I grew up with like Gex, Crash, Spyro, Donkey Kong Country, Oddworld, and so many more that you can just look up under my drop down name on this site. Almost 7 years later, look where I'm at now! I've reached my goal of finding those who did grew up with the games that I found so nostalgic as we relive our memories by still talking about these titles that will never end such discussion. Ironically enough, just when I left itstailtime.net so was the 7th Generation of consoles going to be taken over by the 8th gen. But even though we love to live back in the past, more often than not, we also discuss about modern games today.



My overall thoughts on the 360/PS3/Wii era has been very mixed for me and almost every criticism I have on what I was focusing on have been controversial, but worth mentioning. While I had some of the most fun time during the Xbox/PS2/Gamecube era, the 7th gen was a step up in the a technical sense of the word, but not as qualitative, as quantity flooded the 360, PS3, and Wii. There a lot of major issues for  7th gen is that the whole gaming industry was so desperate to make more money than ever before at the point where they had to change how they used to make games. For instance,

  • Releasing games that are incomplete by making us pay more for DLC (I will still remain critical for that)
  • So many horrible game endings that are there for sequel bate (Pheonix08 mentioned it on Boochow)
  • Over saturation of the shooter market (I'm sick of the COD topic and all of their competitors) 
  • Kids games are taken more childish with new gimmicks and fads that came and went (Kinnect and Wii)
  • Too much focus on multiplayer than the single player (I hate using the word "campaign")
  • PC Gaming lost a lot of popularity (multiplat, Steam, mod, and Blizzard still keeps it alive)
  • Requirement to log in whenever you play a certain game (EA and Ubisoft)
  • Installing and updating a game (seriously, PC's should be the only machine for downloading, not consoles)
  • Too many dark and gritty games and also too many shufflewares for families, and not enough games which are a balance of both.
  • Gimmicks that tried to be innovative but became a fad.
Can you see why I believe that the PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox era was a better time in gaming? We didn't have to deal with half of this garbage but the PS3, 360, and (sometimes) Wii had to punish their consumers for not paying more than $50/$60 American dollars because of their capitalist behavior and practices.  I have been very critical with last generation of gaming, but I have given a lot of attention to see if there is an exception to this new practice that the industry is doing nowadays. Fortunately enough, there are over a dozen games on this list that (probably) didn't have to deal with this sort of stuff and gave us a breath of what gaming used to be like; a complete experience on a singular copy/downloaded game. I may a lot of doubts with where the gaming industry is heading to, but it's interesting to see nowadays how it continues to have its ups and downs as you couldn't even believe how stupid many people in the industry really are (DRM for Xbox One). Since the 7th generation of consoles is the last time I'll ever become a "modern gamer" and continue to treasure hunt some of the classics that I miss the most and missed out, here are the games that weren't fools gold, but instead titles that made it to the history books!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 7 Best Games for Kids

On my last list that I've done, I may have been a little to harsh on Nintendo in stating my reasons of not putting the company on my list of my 8 Favorite video game companies because they're too kiddy. Not to say that it's bad or anything, but it's for the fact that I've grown more mature at the point where I'm passed the family-friendly appeal. It's necessary to do that when you're targeting to children (and believe me we should thank Nintendo for still making games for all ages where there are just so many dark and gritty games in this era of gaming) but if you're going to release many of these add-ons and peripherals to insult our intelligence like Wii Music, Wii Fit, Wii Vitality Sensor, etc., it's clearly loosing my interest in your product.



But I must not take Nintendo today for granted because we have young kids everywhere that needs a childhood to go through and the last thing we need is to let video games to give them the wrong influence and become a bad role model. When you take a look at what's popular in games today, chances are that it's all really violent games and (speaking as a future father here) we don't want to expose such violence to make them grow vicarious at that age. The scary thing is that I've seen kids talking about playing Call of Duty that makes me wonder, how in the blazes did they let that slip pass their parents radar?! Does anyone know how much exposure to violence the kid is having in his childhood and how he would be more vicarious as an adult? I do heavily support the ESRB Rating system for protecting everyone in all ages from being exposed to such content when they don't know yet about the harshness of the world. At the same time, we just can't get rid of Rated M games all at once because that demographic is what really supports the gaming industry today and adults needs something to play as well. But just because you're an adult doesn't really mean that you should avoid playing children's games. In fact, there are so many from my childhood, teens, and even my young adult life today that I still find myself going back to playing these kid-friendly games.

Deep down inside, we all would want to go back to our childhoods, so instead of depressing ourselves by looking at old photo albums and watch/play some of our old favorites, we still have old and new games that uplifts our child-like spirits. As much as the video game press love to oversell the life out of these dark and edgy titles of today, games cater to children are selling just as much if not more than the Mature titles. Being that I'm a gamer that expands my radar with games, I'm not blind to see that there are many that are considered the greatest ever and everyone from all ages should give it a shot. This is not the best games that I've played as a kid, I'm putting on my "father's cap" for this is a list and make a Top 7 Games that I find suitable for all ages! So for just this list, here's what I consider suitable

  • No blood, gore, sexual themes, profanity, drugs, alcohol, or any other bad influences that would make an M rating. 
  • It should have a friendly atmosphere where children feel right at home. There are a lot of Rated E games that are very scary like Ocarina of Time and Donkey Kong 64 that I wouldn't let very young kids to play, or nightmares would appear in their sleep.
  • The difficulty range should be very easy in the beginning of the game, while on your journey it should have enough challenges to keep it interesting. Everything from design, controls, gameplay, features, etc. should be very well crafted instead of being another shuffleware out to make a quick buck out of families's precious money. 
  • The game should respect the player's intelligence. If developers are going to treat us like idiots like how Nintendo released those useless peripherals as stated early, then it should be avoided before kids starts to beg for it. I want my kids to learn from their games (wether or not if it's educations) they should understand how the game plays and learn how to solve puzzles. 
I know by baby-sitting experience on what games are suitable for kids, but these are the games where no matter how old you get, the game itself never gets old. So here are the Top 7 Best Games of Kids, and kudos to AlexMan94 for inspiring me to make this list!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - My 8 Favorite Video Game Companies

Well, it's the fifth day of Christmas and I'm here to give you all my Top 8 favorite video game companies. Before reading this list, make sure you read yesterday's list!  There will be no industry without the businesses that developed, profited, and marketed these products and that's what companies everywhere have done! Sometimes we love their products so damn much that we start to become followers just to see what they're working on next and where they'll be doing in the future, business-wise.



It's always news for me to hear them make business decisions, company growth, and many more! Like the rest of capitalism, we can see so much good (giving away great opportunities for business and satisfactory to their consumers) or they can be evil by shutting down development companies, give bullshit problems to their consumers, and other reasons which is greed for money. It's tough running a business because as time flies by, they're always constantly changing to keep everyone interested and keep up with the times as it continues to move forward. We can't expect anyone from any company to be the same because it's all about making money; it is their survival and way to make games. At the same time, the only reason why we even care about many of these game companies is because of the software that they've made for us. While many of us have boring lives, these companies given us virtual interactions where we feel like we're there and playing as our heroes doing whatever objective(s) to reach the goal.

Though I do want to have a favorite video game company where they have a great track record of games, but they should also act professional when they promote their games and reach audience's satisfactory! I mean, why do you think EA won a Golden Poo award for two straight years? Because they've been the biggest corporate assholes that I've ever seen from any company (and that's including factories and the unions)! To make it on my list of my favorite video game companies, they should have professionalism, great track record of video games, and customer satisfactory! Luckily enough, I've made a total of 8 companies that made me proud of being a fan and enjoying their games after all of these years!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - Top 9 Arcade Machines That I So Desire

Well Everyone, I hope you all had a great Christmas! If you haven't checked it out yet, take a look at the christmas present that I gave to you all on itstailtime.net. In the mean time, since it's the day after Christmas here, let me give you a list of Christmas presents that I'll never ever get; arcade machines.



 Arcade gaming is probably some of the most causal and at the same time the most difficult gaming experience you can imagine. Arcade gaming (back in the day) used to be all about pick up and play, but since the gaming industry wanted to take a much money from our pockets, they wanted to make these games to be so difficult that beating a whole game requires us to insert a lot of quarters (if you suck a playing). But at the same time, I miss arcades a lot because, unlike online gaming & home console gaming, you're able to see the players complete with each other, there is much better frame rates and graphic that consoles can't handle, there's face-to-face interactions (sometimes it can be a bad thing), and there's always something fun that gets a crowd watching you. Believe it or not, just like many Sega Saturn games, there are a ton of arcade machine that never got a console port to this very day. It sucks so much that even owning a single arcade machine takes up more than enough space in the house than your console peripherals that hasn't been used in a long time. I did talk about the ups and downs with the arcade gaming on Boochow Episode 4 so if you haven't yet, please check it out! So with that being said, here are my Top 9 Arcade Machines that I would so love to have!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas - My Top 10 Hottest Video Game Women

Merry Christmas, everyone! I wish for everyone the best of this holiday. Now on the third day of my christmas special, I'm here to give you all my Top 10 Hottest Video Game Women. These are the women from video games that I want so badly to be real so that I can have them under my tree and unwrap them.



After killing so many enemies and accomplish so many objectives, somewhere in the game, developers actually created a lovely looking character that we only see in our personal lives and our fantasies as well. It is amazing how graphical programming came a long way from pixels to close realism and yet developers took advantage of bringing their fantasies into a graphical reality. The general standards of gamers have never been strong, but it doesn’t really help much when we have attractive babes seen in our video games. Not to say they’re bad, I’m just pointing out that I’m not proceeding myself as a pig who only play video games to watch video game women just to turn me on. However, just like other medias that have attractive women, you can’t simply ignore it. In fact, they grab your full attention wishing that they could be real, and video games are no different. These are the video game women that are so hot that playing as them (or playing with them as an NPC) is a dream come true. These are the women that made us players much more excited to insert the game and boot up the system just to spend as much time with them.

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas Special - My 11 Favorite Comic Book series



Ho, Ho, Ho, Everyone! It's the second day of my winter break and today I'm doing a list of my favorite thing in the world (yes, I even love this more than video games itself!) and that's comic books. While the visuals of video games, movies, and tv shows only let's the audience to just blankly stare at the visuals, comic books and graphic novels still to this day allows us to use our imaginations from the single panels or fames, that the artist provide. I so desire to work in this industry because its the only media that requires drawings and nothing else. Since most of my fans have some knowledge on these comic book character but aren't really familiar with these comic books series, I really am doing my best trying to get you all reading this blog to know what are my favorite comic books series are


I always fell in love with comic books where I came from because they had awesome characters that dealt with stories about morals. The art visuals in its narrative are so dynamic and veritile that it's worth reading. Not to mention that getting into comic books is cheap. I mean, we have to buy a tv set in order to use our video game machines, movies, and tis, but for comics, it's only about the paper you purchased! It's an industry that was there before WWII and still is a growing franchise with so many artists and storytellers so show us the world that they want to represent. It is also sometimes the most deep and personal stories you can imagine! Whatever was going on in the past, comic books caught up on the current events and make it's own take on the story, like it's an alternative universe if Super Heroes exist! If you want any further proof of why I love comic books, take a look at this video! 


It's crazy to think that my very first comic book was actually Maximum Carnage and since then this hobby of mine turned out to be something that I grown more passionate than video games itself. Here in this list, I'm only counting down my favorite comic book series; not manga, graphic novels, comic strips, or events/short stories. We're talking about a monthly issue series that keeps evolving the character(s) and followed up with the times! With that being said, here are my favorite comic book series ever!

Gexup's 12 Days of Christmas Special - My 12 Favorite Consoles


Well, well, well… I'm supposed to be gone forever, but I finally have free time just for myself! That's right, everyone! Gexup is back for only 12 Days of this winter break. Though I don't have a proper video editor anymore, we still have itstailtime.net that's still open to everyone. Speaking of 12 Days, to celebrate one of my favorite Holidays ever, I think I would like to do my own 12 Days celebration. It's not easy being a cartoonist/comic book artist because we're always constantly drawing every single day and with only 12 days to spare, what am I going to do? Well, to surprise everyone, I'm making Top lists of whatever I want to rank down, but it's not as simple as that… For every day going by, I'll be making a list that will decrease it's number. So that means, today, I'll be doing a top 12 and the following day, I'll be doing a top 11. The numbers will keep decreasing until my final day of this Christmas break. Sounds exciting, right? Well, I took this idea from my favorite Pro Wrestling Vlogger named the Slickdaddy from Over The Ropes Show and since he started last year (and still continuing the once in a year celebration) I think it would be best if I were do to one myself every Winter break. I'm also doing this because I really miss hearing from you guys, though it was a tough decision to jump to sticking a cartooning career and abandoning my own gexup meme for the rest of my life. I do admit that there has been a lot of bad things happening to many of my favorite guys on the internet (like Bennett the Sage giving up game reviews, TMcBee no longer on Youtube, and so many more), I would love to just make all of you happy before this miserable year finally closes. Hey, if this Winter celebration goes well, then I would do it again on itstailtime.net.

So for on the first day of Christmas break, I'm giving you all my Top Twelve Favorite Video Game Home Consoles.

Gexup - Top 10 Romances That Needed More!


You know what's the hardest part about love or staying in a relationship? It's spending so much time on someone you believe is the "one" and then one day you're separated. It's something that will happen to anyone, but somehow fiction caught up with reality and reminds us our own heartbreaks. Since Valentines Day is over, I think it's a great time for me to list out my own 10 romantic couples or relationships that never became a success. On Valentines Day, I've made a list of my favorite Romances...


... but that was a hard list to make because I couldn't make it a Top 10 that actually made me satisfied for following those fictional relationships. However, here on this list, I've been so disappointed with so many fallen relationships that was so entertaining and so engaging to see that ended in a disappointing note that could have done more. I would of instead of made a Top 10 "Worst" Romances, but that's just like making a list of the Top 10 Worst Romantic Comedies and you can just look that up anywhere on the internet. Here on this list, I feel so passionate about relationships that I bought many of them like a sucker in hopes that they were going to live happily ever after, like a fairy tail, but broke my heart because they should of done more. I like to remind everyone that in my Favorite Romances list, there were some heartbreaks towards the end, but I believed they did enough to keep me satisfied when they were together. Here in this list however, my picks are just seeing that there's a connection between the characters but the storytellers didn't do as much as they could have done. The only way to make it in the list is if they [actually] affection with one another; not these fan-made fiction of pairing two characters that never actually happened or had a unannounced love-interest that never came in a light of day.

Gexup - Favorite Romances (Valentines Day Special)



Well love is in the air on Valentines Day and when I don't have a date at this time of the year I usually just watch any media with romance on it. Romance is some of my favorite genre and sub-genre because it's just a whole different experience and it hurts me to see a romance bad due to the fact that the love is forced, 1-Dimensional, and doesn't really have a purpose other than putting two couples together. To me, a great romance is when they have a whole different challenge and different kind of love; like passionate love, playful love, lust, or destiny. I know what is actually a good romantic story when I see one and here are some of my romances told in comic books, movies, television, video games, ect.

__________________________________________________________

Since it has been over a year since Naughty Dog vs. Insomniac Games has ended, I want to bring tribute to my biggest accomplishment in making that versus series in doing a Top 10 Hardest list of everybody's favorite part of the versus series; of course Jak 2.
I want to be clear that this is one of my favorite games made by Naughty Dog but I will not just let my love for this game to be overlooked due to it's VERY memorable high level of difficulty. So this is my Top 10 list of the Missions of Jak 2 that angered, frustrated, & hurt myself in trying to beat this game. So as we go through this list I'll be bringing back my painful memories of this game and at the same time show me actually trying to beat the game in a live recording showing you guys how exactly angry I was with these missions.
