The Gamer's Quarter

Since when do I owe you shit? Least of all expounding upon facets of my life which are no-one's business?
Since the moment you started delivering shit to my doorstep, dear.

Anyway, I'll take that ...

Concrete Man isn't a great example of the game as a whole, nor a fair one.

I've been yelling FUCK at the teevee a lot when mega man 9 is on.

(I also screamed "BAG OF WANK" at it once)

there's nothing progressive about this game. the director was arguing at some point that returning the series to the nes format is somehow progressive. no it's not. you made four unnecessary megaman s ...

Not really, since I enjoy getting things off my chest!

Bad Storytelling checklist go!

- Same ending as the first two series, same general finale plot sub-genre as all three series, previously menacing race reduced to shite due to endlessly recuring bri ...

I forget how good you british guys are with irony sometimes

Hey, don't lump me in with this crazy.

Just so you all know - if you're on and want a game, I have us an esper.net irc channel set up to facilitate this: #pso.

I've been playing with apol and swimmy a bit and god, this game is beautifu ...

Most of the James Woods missions in SA are very memorable - like the one where you have to ride a bike onto a jetplane, then parachute out as it explodes (I think that one was actually an Enter the Ma ...

it's ok, son!

dracko unless we have any proof of transphobia in this case (we don't) I'm going to have to ask you to shut the fuck up

fort's issues are fort's issues and I have adressed them as such

I don't agree with the former, based on her grades. And I suspect the latter isn't true either-- if her teammates got good grades on projects, I wouldn't be surprised if they made something more inter ...

There's a difference between fallible and kick out worthy.

No doubt. I'm one of the best customer service people at my job, but I still almost got fired for persistent lateness. I can do well at on ...

Reading the article past the dsm, I'm actually feeling considerably more sympathetic. towards however you must be feeling. The tone of the above outburst is probably as unhelpful to you getting past ...

This thread has had me gritting my teeth for a long time now, but since we've broached the unplesantness and I don't really like gritting my teeth, have at you:

Dess, are you humanly capable of adm ...

I'm pretty sure that was Frank though.

I asked him. It wasn't.

There's also the redeye who used to write for edge, back in the day.

Different Redeye?

(The all white Vic Viper is the Gradius III model)

chubby little silver hawks!

these are the cutest ever.

But enough about the old Sonic games, what do you think of this one? OH SNAP

What a terrible bore you are, HarveyJames

You know, I don't see a whole lot in the leaked Sonic Unleashed footage to suggest it's that bad. As far as I can tell, if you like Sonic the Hedgehog you're probably going to like this!

The lack o ...

There's still hope for the Sonic RPG though right.

Keep telling yourself that, man.

Sonic was fine until 1995. Then began the terror.

So I guess what I consider "Sonic" was only really hot for four years.

The level art for this game looks boring: the gameplay looks pretty fucki ...

Chet and Erik are morons, barrels aren't the same thing as crates.

Oh man Cycle did I ever tell you about the time Chet went on a massive rant over at POE-news about the evils of piracy and I point ...

i've always believed our great task was providing a model for videogames journalism and discourse in the twenty-first century.

how successful we've been so far i don't know.

ha ha ha ha ha

Yes I'm necromancing threads while searching for gradius what of it

"Multiple" choices give you "options" so I suppose the translator or whoever picked the wrong word and it stuck?

SML2 just seems to play it safe, really. You've got your themed worlds with not much going for them and ultimately, it's not particularly challenging or memorable in its level design.

Could the "bl ...

For "experience, telling a story", substitute "journey". They're generally about going places, seeing stuff. The experience comes out of place, whereas in vertical shooters it comes out of action.

we're selling one of these for 150 fucking quid

Sonic isn't perfect but it has some awfully neat Sonic 3 chiptunes. The same team went on to make Sonic Advance which is sort of a really bad remake.

That's Joe AKA Splashbeats AKA Vinculum Gate. I suggested that he go to an anime con in blackface and a TEXAS BRONCO t-shirt one time.

Nice MSpaintings harveyhames

Yesterday I did legendary in one solid sitting with a friend (OK, at one point we took a break for me to go buy snacks and talk to some drunk girls who invaded the room) and on the Ark mission - the b ...

Jeff Minter is now attacking random livejournal users for Space Giraffe thought crime. I didn't want to derail the existing thread on the game but I thin ...

Can someone explain why Gears is making me play the 2006 version of a shitty mine-cart stage to get to the next fun part?

(USE THE UV TURRENT, oh Cliffy how I LOL)

Aerithdead: Here's the weird thing, yeah? I bought a used 360 with a formated drive. I have never been online.

The first CD I ripped was the CD single of "Out of Space"... and it knew what it was c ...

Rez has a problem and the problem is this: the game is a fucking failure. It's a failure because the music mostly is generic and forgettable. If they'd carried through and got Underworld's seal of app ...

I mean, that's what I'm looking for - a sense of progression, told visually, with no leaden speech bullshit. Not just from REZ, from games in general.

I liked it loads better than LOTS OF WEIRD SHAPES TO STARE AT but then I've never played REZ mashed off my tits before.

I think the narrative would have worked better without text, maybe?

The perfect Sonic game in my head has assimilated the roadie run to handle high-speed areas. As well as most of crackdown except the guns.

The only level of Rez I remember with any great degree of fondness is stage 5, with the crazy evolution/batshit AI talking to you theme, the Adam Freeland track, the boss rush and the big final showd ...

Yeah, I paid about 25 dollars at current exchange rate for my play and charge kit after staff discount. It will save your arse many, many times.

Also Rumble Roses XX: shit, not even fun as a joke, ...

I don't have a Gamercard yet because I don't have internet working at home. Soon, this will change.

OK, but would it maybe be a good game to play with a lot of ripped old dance music, I'm thinking 1991 era?

I might just rip a lot of KLF and Utah Saints and Prodigy and such. Hmmmm.

Aerisdead should I play this game?

Hi Aerisdead

Oh man, there's a level named after a KLF staduim house track? Uuurgh, so torn. I don't think I want this, though, it just seems so self-referential and like, yeah, Jay Allard, ha ha ha, but will that ...

One of the dudes who programmed Sonic X-Treme (abort abort abort) is now... not a dude. Chris Coffin.

You used to be able to direct-download to VMUs, via the Dreamcast browser.

I got the save with everything done in Sonic Adventure 2 to play the Green Hill remake, because that game was shite.

There's an alternate Donkey Kong mission once you beat the game, greatest times. I recall the introduction dragging out forever, though.

I can't remember the name, but there's this awesome Mario 3 hack that includes thunderstorms, along with random weather and time of day stuff. Good times.

There needs to be a game that can handle - ...
