The Gamer's Quarter

Man, I don't even know what my avatar looks like here anymore. Let's see!

Guys, I drove to Walnut, CA today and played Street Fighter IV for five hours with a stranger.

They had it running on two SD screens and one of the monitors had no sound.

I think the backlash against the Wii in the next generation of hardware/software is going to be monumental. All of these new-gamers who have been introduced to video-gaming through the Wii are going ...

I saw you on my Xbox! You were on the Sci vs. Fi episode about Mass Effect. Pretty bad-ass!

I hope that was taken out of context Wink

What do you think?

They did a piece on X-Play about Video Games and comedy. I was part of a video-game cagematch where a bunch of comedians dressed up like video game characters ... Sad

I'm posting about this here an ...

I'm going to start calling this game, "guh-TA-iv."

I got into a long discussion with my boss about the differences between boutique video game websites (and the debates they encourage) and the general preferences of the consumer.

Could it be that t ...

SUCKS.

Smug does not equal good writing.

I don't think you know the definition of insightful.

It seems to me that Capcom has missed the point of retro/nostalgia and is just drag-and-dropping the old game into the new engine. Don't they know the difference between fanservice and a total lack o ...

That's mine! Aztec Adventure for Master System. One of the first games I ever owned.

bff

We are all BFF. This banner made me very happy.

None of my things came in a briefcase. I'm not a producer. Sad

Being a member of the Hollywood Union World Where I'm Expected To Vote On Actors and Stuff, I have a copy of No Country for Old Men on DVD sitting here on my desk.

I have not yet seen it, but proba ...

I don't think Dave is going. I don't know for certain if I am, either. But it's a most-likely deal.

I will most likely be there! Hoooo my god, are we going to have a TGQ dinner!?

This is a very charming thread. I don't have anything that I can add. But I'm really happy to read what everyone else is writing.

PS3 ID = Faithless327
360 ID = Faithless 327
Wii Code = That String of Numbers in My Signature

EDIT: There's no SPACE in the PS3 ID

Yeah, and unless I've missed something CtA has been pretty empty lately too Sad

Man, Shaper ... if you had any idea what my schedule is like, you'd be all, "Damn! That girl needs a vacation!"

...

Yesterday marked the two year anniversary of my Gamer's Quarter forum membership ... and I think I haven't posted in this little blog since then!

No, this is the future, and the first gimmick I've been excited for in a video game for a LONG, long time.

Yes, I write for a magazine called Play. Here, I'm Faithless or Heather or whatever. I'm glad you like TGQ, but don't skim the rest of the magazine. My fellow writers are my mentors, my inspiration ...

I'll ship anywhere if you pay for it.

I have that last Next-Gen issue, as well as the Yarouze issue, but I want the others too. I guess I'll bid!

Are you shipping to Canada?

For you Lestrade? Certainly!

Heya Everyone at TGQ.

I know it's kinda gross to drop Ebay links here, but I figured if anyone was interested it would be you guys.

I'm selling [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt ...

Thanks for all the great feedback about the article. It was rather difficult to confront that game, and the outpouring of support I've gotten in the wake of the piece has made it worthwhile.

Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game, har har!

I'd rather play something flawed and interesting than perfect and afraid.

I used to play FFXI like an addict. Err, as an addict. Now, I just can't bring myself to delete my account. Interesting way to spend money, this.

As for WoW, I can't get into the art. I hate th ...

The VC games I've purchased so far are: Gunstar Heroes, SimCity, Sonic, and SMB.

I can't bring myself to purchase any more right now, since OOT is coming. I wish they'd make it Wii-mote enabled, l ...

WHEW! I've added EVERYONE in this list now. I have almost 10 pages of Grey Names.

So ... you IC/SB/GQ people. Add mii!

My list will appear in February Play. I believe I can't break my NDA until then. Maybe? Suffice to say, it looks a lot like the lists here.

I may be reaching, but is that a Virtual Boy wallpaper?

So, it's wrong to have a glass of wine every day? I believe there are some scientists who would disagree. I've stepped back on the hard alcohol, and haven't been drunk in weeks.

And I had a spons ...

"No drinking" lasted 1.2 weeks. During which time I lost my ability to write, think, or smile. I hallucinated rats and was generally unpleasant to be around. Also, my sex drive dropped to 0.

If I had to do college over again, I think I would drink more during classes.qft

Wait. What did you guys *do* in college?

Where else can I go when I'm drunk now?

Oh, by the way, last week = /drunk.

The lack of IC makes me very sad. Please fix this bug.

This game is making me cry. It's actually so beautiful, it brought me to tears. I don't know when the last time that happened was.

I don't like the music as much, though.

Faithless has now belonged to the Gamer's Quarter forums for a year.

...8 out of the box...

I turned in my first 6.5 for the next issue. I believe I was hired both for my gender and my very strong opinions; maybe my prescence at the mag will galvanize them. But as ...

Isn't this what reviews/lists are supposed to be? Shouldn't they reflect what the writer took away from these games rather than how well they meet a list of checkboxes that supposedly define what a go ...

We all submitted for that list, but it's very much up to Dave how things run in the end. But all the editors sent in favs, and I think the list was compiled from that, with Dave's choices counting as ...

Yeah, I'm an "associate editor" now. Which means my picture goes in the issues ... but I need a different photo, because it's too professional-looking. Moreso than even Nick Des Barnes'.

So ... I guess it's been quiet here lately because of the new issue? I can't wait to read it.

It used to be able to boot CDRs ...Booting CDRs will eventually burn out your system BTW. Just not as fast as the PCE.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Ikaruga is pretty badass. I remember watching runs of this game on Youtube a while ago, and thinking, "That Game Looks Amazing!"

And it still does.

This was a stupid story.

It used to be able to boot CDRs ...

Okay! Keyboard Goal Check! I know a place where I can pick them up.

Yahooooooo! Dreamcast!

How does Typing of the Dead hook up? With the serial port in the back? To any keyboard? Oooooohhhhhhh ....

So, I finally got the VGA box for my Dreamcast. I can't believe it took me this long. I'm an idiot. As an visual quality otaku, this is one of the few oversights in my life that I simply can't forg ...
