The Gamer's Quarter

I think I may have been asked to leave a consulting gig once for something similar to this, where I strongly disagreed with a technical point and made a big fuss about it. I finally gave in but it was ...

I believe someone was inferring how Dess might have been singled out and given shit for trying to stand out from the crowd. Again, with the whole "it's discrimination!" angle. The other point being, m ...

Perhaps this is not good to share, since I know everyone is going for yet another veiled insult, and I guess I can't blame them, though its not to cause even more fires, but to elaborate on one of Jam ...

I'd also be interested in K.THor's description if a guildhall is a good training place for the culture at a gamelab, if non-cinematic-oriented design studios have less sweatshop like cultures.

Not ...

Well I guess my opinions now truly don't mean a damn, since its been agreed upon that I'm a grade-A, number one homophobe.

All I can say about the cheap-shots direct at Dess's gender, is that I gue ...

Personal insults aside, what do you think of what I've said?

I know I am going to get a TON of flack for popping in and saying the following, but so be it... I just feel it is necessary to defend the school, because in the long run, they absolutely did the righ ...

"Candleman, the world's best candles?" Is that for real?

Here's my entry: all three issues of 1up Zine, the only gaming publication other than TGQ that matters! I've never met anyone who has these. ...

Dave Sim was a pretty nice guy when I met him. And Gerard was a pretty wacky!

i played the demo, it was fucking terrible. Remember when people used to argue over which was better, Mario or Sonic? Well Mario won.

I remember when me and the rest of the folks at Nick Mag were i ...

I knew two guys in high school that would get drunk off NyQuil and play Mortal Kombat after class everyday. Fun dudes. Didn't join in on that, though I did partake in the baloney-ing on the weekends ( ...

Well not be a spammer, but since its relevant to the subject at hand, and for those who might have missed it elsewhere, I recently took a whole bunch of screenshots of this WACKY JAPPY game where you ...

i was in the theatre watching spiderman 2 and making fun of it with my friends while drunka nd some guy in a wheelchair in front of me yelled at me

Who's Heather Campbell again, is this her?

WTF

First off, I was back in college, which is in Manhattan (I went to School of Visual Arts). Before class, I was watching something on PBS, and it was some video game show from the early 90s hosted by k ...

The only way I could contribute to this thread is if I had voice recorded the conversation I had when I called Nintendo to suggest to them that they re-release Mario Bros and Wrecking Crew as the Mari ...

I too am bummed that I will not be hanging with the MC.

I may or may not be rooming up with aerisdead, so the information sharc would be greatly appreciated! Simply PM me I guess. The sooner the better so we can both set our plans straight ASAP. And thanks ...

I am! Well, I don't actually expect to go to the GDC but I'll go around the GDC if any shindig-type activities are to occur. Plus I know at least one other person who is going, but I'll let them post ...

As an ex-Ubi Soft employee myself, what fish described is pretty on the mark, though not necessarily with my own personal experiences, though there are a lot of similarities, but just game production ...

Still not quite sure why its linked, but I just had to say that Night Flight was one of my most favorite shows growing up, and I'd give up my ...

The Big Apple. I just ate the worm.

Hardcore is not a word that JUST the videogames use.

Yeah, I knew this complete tool in college (I went to cartooning school btw... yeah, I know) who had on his pencil case "TMNT Live In Me" with a ...

There use to be a website that tracked Wii shipments closer to the time of launch, thought I don't know if it's still around...

Just came across this on my hard drive... I forget where its from:

This will finally be my reason to enter the wide, world of HD gaming.
You probably should have entered the wide world of the CURRENT generation already. You know, considering that you get paid to wri ...

If anyone is interested, I have a much better list of bang-able cartoon hotties.

Yeah, is Motorstorm considered a good game? Because if so... it isn't. Sorry!

I also echo the sentiments of HS being a perfect fine launch game almost a year too late.

This will finally be my reason to enter the wide, world of HD gaming.

So I don't know if this is commonly known, but one of the dudes that was behind GH2: Hacker's Edition was hired for part 3. When I first heard this, I immediately had to talk to this guy, but after mu ...

Yeah, that was pretty awkward. First off, artists should never defend their work. But ESPECIALLY on LiveJournal.

Hmmm.... I remember Next Generation kinda raving about this game, or at least giving it the thumbs up, simply due to the "nice" graphics and variety in gameplay. Not that I ever played it...

Tempest X is pretty crazy--it's very interesting comparing it and Tempest 2000 since the developer made lots of little differences in the design. The original is still better, though.

I had the Sat ...

(Actually I just didn't want to mention Daytona because I tend to mention Daytona in reply to almost any topic if you give me enough time...)

Except when I ask for one. Sad

Sorry, in-joke.

Been playing Tempest X a LOT lately. Not very good at the though. Guess I'm doing it because I don't have a 360 yet, and therefore can't play Space Giraffe.

I also kinda broke the game last night. ...

UN Squadron

Good answer!

Again, Mega Man 4?

Well, I don't it actually snows, but there's plenty of it at Cossack's castle.

For PCs, I use FileZilla.

I'm sorry, but Revolver Ocelot and Sniper Wolf has always been cornball and stupid since day one, so this is hardly any different in my book.

You gotta review the twin Taito trainwrecks of Chase HQ 3D and Elevator Action 3D.

(Elevator action as a FPS? Really?)

I'll try and check them out! BTW, I open for requests, and especially to t ...

Also can we do games where it looks like its going to rain next? I'll start that one off: Silent Hill 2 and Virtua Racing (PS2)

Wasn't there rain in the Shivah?

[10:12] fortninety: quick question
[10:12] fortninety: was there rain in the shivah?

I don't know if it qualifies as timeless, but the amazingly ahead-of-their-time 60fps Model-3 graphics of Sega Super GT still look good to me eleven years later.
