The Gamer's Quarter

That place looks wonderful.

but does Altair just passively push people around or is that something you have to actively do? If it's passive, wow, is he ever the jerkiest jerk in an action game, ever.
There is a nearly useless " ...

Is this going to see a release on the PC?

Does anyone know if Super Mario Bros 2 is the original version instead of the enhanced Super Mario All-Stars version? Nintendo gets much respect from me if this SMB2 is an English translation of the ...

The Giraffe is really starting to grow on me. I am replaying each stage until I get, at least, a starting point bonus for that stage. I probably would enjoy the game more if I just went with the flo ...

I assume nesticle is still the standard nes emulator, but from my PSP finaglings I ran across tons of others for the other consoles, any idea which are the best?
For NES, you'll definitely want to ch ...

hardtype Yes
onecoin No
becausevideogames Yes
selectbutton No

bossparade is ok, but is not as good as hardtype and yet has the same flaws

agreed

pretentiousgamefucks.org (said with only love)
snuffgaming.net

man, I clicked thedreamcastianideal.com hoping it was a real site

Brandon's vision of Neo IC doesn't sound as good as Ye Olde IC to me.

it's probably going to be Toups' Game Ranch guys fyi
TouperDuper.com

Toups, if you eat the flesh of just a few of these guys, I'm sure the right answers will come to you.

acutally, I like becausevideogames

also - gots to keep the Thread Fighter threads and the wiki if possible

voting for insertcartridge.abc or becausevideogames.what

108 owns selectbutton.tim, and he would make me dance like an ape / destroy the world at his whim.

I've always liked the Insert Credit frontpage, but even considering all of their problems, the forums were significantly better than the main site. For a long time, It hasn't seemed like anyone gave ...

What game(s) played similarly to OoT before it?

If it came first and had followers, that would explain its use as a benchmark.

It used to be able to boot CDRs ...Booting CDRs will eventually burn out your system BTW. Just not as fast as the PCE.
Is there any evidence for this beyond the anecdotal? I've known a few pirates ...

When I was being bullied once in fifth grade the response from my parents was "Punch him in the nose until he bleeds.".
This is a valid response to bullying. Did you do it?

I didn't say that either.
OK, I was just checking. I certainly do not mean to put words in your mouth.

It'll certainly be interesting to see where society draws the arbitrary line. We'll proba ...

I don't care who is beating up who in this game, that there's a game where children are beating up other children scares me greatly.
It's OK to kill 34 virtual grandmothers in four minutes, but god f ...

I'll be picking this up to see if the programmable AI for your party members lives up to my expectations. I hear good things.

It would be so awesome if each image had a mouseover* that told you what it was, because I am often left wondering.

so awesome

In addition, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

guys I hear that in twilight princess you can use the remote like it was a sword

but I'm worried my arm might get tired Sad

That's not true. SuperWes says that Link will use nunchaku instead of a ...

In another sub-category, you have your DDRs and your Beatmanias. I bought the US Beatmania. It seems to me that it requires an level of practice on par with learning a musical intstrument in order ...

I wouldn't mind having some of these around for creating physical non-Bobble pixel art fun.

i would like to reiterate that i think this game has the best difficulty progression ever.

the first time i played through the game, it was a struggle just to pass each stage. then it was a struggl ...

You guys really have to stop making me desire certain games more based on their packaging. I might give in sooner or later.

I am waiting for the arrival of my new magical memory card (which is on its way from Hong Kong) or news of a US release before I play this.

I'm going to be all over this; word makes it sound like j ...

Ah. I have a Saturn pad though. It's attached to my Saturn. ;D
Aren't you aware that you should have a Saturn pad for everything?

I just want one of the "snow white" USB pads. It doesn't seem t ...

It's impossible.

for you, maybe!
Guys, show me the magic.

Protip: Zelda doesn't allow you to slash with the controller. The closest you can get is wiggling the nunchuk to do a spin attack.

AHEM!!!

It's a good thing too! You'd probably end up wit ...

Only SotC and maybe Cave Story out of the games listed really fit as well as I would like.

Wuh? Smoking stinks dude. Cave Story does not.

-Wes
I agree that Cave Story does not stink, but I am a ...

It would be so awesome if each image had a mouseover* that told you what it was, because I am often left wondering.

so awesome

*or whatever

About the 5,000th time you attack anything in Zelda we'll see if you still think that way. Also, there's a damn good reason why most light gun games are less than 60 minutes long.
Perhaps the Wii-swo ...

The primary goal of games has traditionally been fun, and producing a game that allows you to identify wit ...

The american arm of Sega Ages!
I like that idea!

But wait, there's more! Word on the street is that Nintendo is going to be at E3 next year.
[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5238138.stm]True that.

It'll be funny if the whole process ju ...

After hearing much ranting and frothing demand for the first Shantae title on IC and IGN, I finally found a copy at the local EB. I was completely not impressed, and had no clue what the fuss was abo ...

The minds of TGQ shouldn't worry about tech specs! (¬_¬)

that's right! this is I didn't mean it that way! Mhz just aren't as interesting as the usual topics around here.

I think that hardware ...

I think that hardware will be sufficient.

I believe that the new CPU and graphics will likely sport at least minor architectural improvements that allow better performance-per-clock.

Also, Wii i ...

Sadly, I probably need to buy a micro for these. Right?
Only if you want to feel cool.

wannabes? opinionated and long-winded, that's fer sure.

cut the fluff i just want the juicy stuff.
Many people would say the same about TGQ. They just want their 7.1/10!

I'll go one step further!
Post-cartidge-based-storage, there shouldn't be cutscenes, and very few dialog boxes in games. If you can't explain things in gameplay, maybe you should seek out a different ...

Half-Life 2 and Shadow of the Colossus tell their stories fine within the mechanics of their game design.
Those are definitely two of the finest examples of narrative blended with mechanics. My pers ...

it can't hurt if the game reminds me that the system is really a metaphor for vanquishing evil, or whatever.
Agreed.
How it reminds you is the important part.

So it seems that David Jaffe
I think God of War is overrated as much as the (seeming) majority of TGQ/IC, but this "new direction" statement is mostly aligned with my views.

Time will tell if he ...

Eventually I quit because the Ship has become a hygenic incarceration sim for me.
Why does this quote make me more, rather than less, interested in the game?

I spent the time to get every God-forsaken good future so that I could... something. I honestly don't remember why I did that.

I wonder if the save in my Sega CD is still there. Any of you ever c ...

I find it amusing that all of his ad hoc mini-games are described by "Who You Can Kill".

You can do anything in GTA!
