![]() ![]() What you will find, if you look back at alot of consoles before Nintendo, Microsoft & Sony became pretty much the only game in town as far as the home entertainment market is concerned, is that "biting off more than you can chew" was literally the name of the game. I have one now and it cost me a little over 300$ although I bought it over 2 decades after it came out. When the AES console was released it was nearly 700$ and the games would run you about 200-250$, that's a tough sell when there are so many other options. It would seem that, that success would lead to SNK trying to bring that same arcade experience to the home console market and while they made a really good go at it, still producing games for the console 14 years after it's initial release, the price tag of both the console itself and it's games among other things was probably a big turn off for the North American market. It was easy for Arcade owners to just swap out the carts and offer different games within the same machine. Most of them allowed you to play 3 or 4 different titles which the company that distributed the machine SNK, saw alot of success with for that very reason. If you ever heard of Neo-Geo at all it was probably in the Arcade where you may have played those big red MVS machines. While Neo-Geo's hardware was far more impressive than any of those, it just didn't have the variety of game selection and it was expensive as hell. Top 3 Video Game Consoles, You’ve Never Heard of.ĭescription: This list will highlight some of the lesser known pieces of home entertainment technology that you can find today.ģ.Neo-Geo AES & Neo-Geo CD-Alot of people in the United States never heard of the Neo-Geo game systems because it came out during the 3rd generation of gaming where we already had the NES, Sega Master System & Sega Genesis with the Super Famicom already existing in Japan and the Super Nintendo hitting the US a year later.

![]() As with all art, your mileage may vary.)Īt least the Scooby Gang has finally made some real progress in their investigation. (This categorization isn’t necessarily a bad thing, of course. The only reason that it hasn’t also fallen under that umbrella is that it doesn’t really look like its peers there’s no dour color-grading, and its cast is made up of teenagers. At this point, 13 Reasons Why feels like a rival to shows popularly dubbed “misery porn,” like The Handmaid’s Tale or The Walking Dead. The rest of the episode gets dark enough that I’m worried as to how this show will end. This means it doesn’t do anything to help the case, though Tony does his part to set the cosmic scales of balance right by visiting Sara, whose testimony made Hannah out to be a toxic bully, and telling her that Hannah really did regret what she’d done. Of course, this act of kindness doesn’t make it into Tony’s testimony, as it would implicate him in a third assault and get him sent to prison. He ducks into the movie theater and begs for her help - and she agrees, hiding him and telling the police that she didn’t see him go by. It’s also down to Hannah that he avoids being arrested. While they’re walking down the street, Lucas (who has both eyes intact at this point) curses at them, calling them “faggots.” When he refuses to back down, Tony handily beats Lucas to the point that he loses the use of one of his eyes, and bystanders begin calling the police. They’re a cute couple, though their honeymoon period doesn’t last long. It’s only after Hannah eggs him on that Tony asks Ryan out. (They even go to get manicures together.) They’d confided in each other: Hannah about her experiences at her last school, expressing regret at having helped ostracize Sara in order to fit in with her new friends, and Tony about his sexual orientation, coming to Hannah for encouragement and support. The friendship between Tony and Hannah seems sweet. ![]() Though there aren’t any real bombshells in his testimony - the defense twists what he says to make it seem like Hannah was a bully, while the Bakers’s lawyer makes him seem unreliable in order to mitigate it - the flashbacks that accompany it tell their own story. All the narrative progress that’s been made seems to come at a cost, and it’s merely setting up for the final leg of the season - which, if I had to guess, I’d say is going to get ugly. ![]() For one thing, nothing particularly good happens in it, and for another, it doesn’t stand on its own. “Smile, Bitches!” is an unpleasant episode on a couple of levels. |
