The Gamer's Quarter

I was hoping for something more unique. Oh well. If I can't find it at GS later this week I would like to take you up on it.

By promo copy, do you mean DEMO, or is it the full game, used exclusively for display purposes? Because if it is the latter, I might want to get that Persona 3.

Okay good

I am ready for Durundal

Cycle: describe the story of Marathon 1 so that I don't have to play through it (it's so damn ugly and boring).

Man, "Pokemon Mystery Dungeon" sounds even worse than Nethack.

Reserved this game today! I had to explain to the cashier what the game was about, so I said "look up Nethack," but that's probably a poor explanation. Closest explanation I can geive without lookin ...

that'd be a no.

being recently laid off means it's time to play dragon warrior 7!
i tried the game before and hated it, but for some reason now i'm enjoying myself quite a bit. i'm 45 or so hours in.

Tollmaster was right. Phantom Brave is solid gold, I tell you. Possibly one of the best games I've played in ages. I like how it integrates story elements into the game.

Yeah, the setting/layout is bland. Disapointing, I was hoping for an outdoor or at least non-halls-connecting-rooms layout.

Well, we've only seen one area. In regards to the realistic look, my o ...

Hey, I just noticed that I have a bunch of hearts.

Yeah!

It's not IF as such, but if you find it, Jordan Mechner's The Last Express is essential gaming. Set on the Orient Express, it can afford to play itself in real-time and involves all sorts of intriguin ...

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne does the whole "feel like I'm seriously fucking up some shit" battle really, really well. There isn't even a split second pause between your menu selection and the action ...

Post your Canvas Curse times and then we'll have something to talk about.

Just walk away. It doesn't have to be like this. Just walk away.

Tonight I realized that Dragon Warrior VII is a real snore. I want to play Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne instead, but that game is ...

DooM in general is just fucking ridiculous. I mean, look at that capitalization.

Seriously, how am I supposed to kill a baron in a 7 x 7 room with a 9mm? The rocket launcher just kills us both an ...

Yeah, the difficulty and level variety really jump up from episode 3 to 4. 4 was added later, in the Ultimate DooM edition.

Word to the wise: don't play Hexen. Ever. You will actually get sick. ...

I'm getting Wild Arms V tomorrow! It had better be good, because I really shouldn't be spending these $35. Evidently, the first printing gets the same deluxe treatment as Persona 3.

Yeah, PS1 emulation is really good... except for the fact that there are no R2/L2 buttons. Some games this isn't a big deal, but for others... it makes them almost impossible to enjoy.

Mega Man Le ...

Well, I can't speak for dessgeega, but for myself Ghost Babel actually reminded me of Boktai or a rough draft version of it and I accepted it as that instead, amused. The music is pretty similar too. ...

I really want to play Frontier and Privateer. They both seemed pretty cool. Again, I couldn't figure out how to go anywhere.

Why does everyone gush over Elite? I found it too confusing and gave up immediately. Lately I've started to follow the Tim Rogers rule of game evaluation.
Well, 2/3 of Elite was a brilliant tech ...

Simply the part where she asked "What can change the nature of a man?" and you were given fifteen plausible choices.

There was no technical reason for it to be voiced, for control to be removed w ...

planescape?

yeah i could make a case for planescape being one of the few games that actually cares about the human condition enough to say something about it. (silent hill 2 would be the other majo ...

I have started a new Kirby: Canvas Curse file and will soon be on my way to absolute Rainbow Run domination. Watch out, dmauro. I will ruin you someday.

How long until the next issue? Is there not enough quality content to go around?

I don't have enough fast units to move around the enemies with any particular grace. Besides, I like to power through it. Makes you into a man, or something.

Getting into neutral battles is a rar ...

Played a bit of Marathon today, after blowing through half of Doom and feeling somewhat empty. Good times! The story is somewhat interesting so far, and the game has a rather tense atmosphere. It's ...

Oh, well okay then.

Suggestions?

Yeah, PM me your address and I'll surprise you!

Man, you could mail me your severed dick in a box for all I know.

Fine.

By publicly Top XX Lists, we are in some ways promoting, or at least advertising, their existence. It is a hard thing to do, but sometimes I must pretend that Top XX Lists - video game or otherwise - ...

I want to do a book-exchange thing, wherein we all decide to read a book, but only one of us technically owns it. S/he reads it, sends it to the next person who asks, and so on, until the book is a b ...

I plowed through Wonderland, realizing that no, it wasn't an incredible piece of literature, but I still had FUN reading it. That's never happened before!

I have the following shit to get rid of. All of these things were foolish impulse buys that I financially damaged myself with.

Seriously, buy this!

Man, stop talking about how awesome the Sega Saturn is. I do not have any money.

Then again, Japangamestock's Saturns are only like $75 shipped. And if anyone asks, then I am pre-responding (an ...

I've blown through roughly half of The Watchmen in two days. I've . . . never though of comics this way before. Recently, I started Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but I have the si ...

Well, they're useful for quickly crossing large bodies of water, or mountain ranges. There are some octopi you can recruit that allow you to cross lakes, which is probably useful in like 2 missions. ...

I booted up Dungeon Master today, after days of quietly debating whether or not I should abandon Etrian Odyssey and Ogre Battle. I like it quite a bit! It's rather simple, a bit like Eye of the Beho ...

Yeah, it's really never boring the play the same map twice. I've figured out how to build up my reputation meter properly. Once you get to the fourth and fifth maps, you should have a several cleric ...

You know the hardest ending to get is the ALL EVIL one, where your reputation and alignment are all rock bottom.

Apparently, you have to be really good for a short while, receive some sword, and th ...

Wait, on your Intel Mac? (I can get it to run on a PPC)

But . . . HOW?

I have learned something!!! This is of great import: the reputation meter at the top right is not just some assessment of your ethics. Essentially, it is your LIFE BAR and must be treated as such. I ...

The other day I bought a copy of Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen and a little Playstation. It came equipped with a little screen, so I can sit at the kitchen table and play it while I eat cerea ...

So I have the game, but none of my wireless access points work. This is dumb. At least I will have time to practice.

Also, I wish I could add your names so that I would know who I was playing. I ...

DO IT. That guy is fucking awesome. I mean just look at him.

You can get a cover for your super-flash if it concerns you. The only reason you need bare circuitry sticking out is if you're playing a SuperFX chip game.
