The Gamer's Quarter

Yeah, TGQ did have a lot more of the "we love games and aren't necessarily embarrassed by that" vibe that I miss from the old IC. Sb's overall bitterness (even when I contribute to it) can get really ...

Here's my contribution. There's some definite things I would clean up in it now, but I contribute it here, warts and all.

I bought Mega Man 2 at the same time as Ducktales, a game based on a Disne ...

I will be reading these today, but I should note that Shaper had solicited my Metal Man article from SB (with some edits) for this non-happening issue. I can dig up a link if anyone wants it.

ghoolie suit level from cod4. tense, claustrophobic and then it's boom, off to the races.

I would agree with this, except for the chronology problem of CoD4 coming out last year.

That was mostly ...

Yeah this place is awesome. My dad wants to go there something fierce. The pinball player, it burns inside his heart.

The way I learned Latin at good old Jesuit high school wat that there is no known correct pronunciation for it. We don't know how the Romans said it, so people disagree on what is proper.

This was ...

consoles are outside my frame of consideration. but i do think it makes a lot of sense. i remember an older pc game that would play whatever cd you put in the drive as the music in the game. or perhap ...

Guys Marmite is damn tasty. A british teacher I had in college introduced me to it, and was all like "this is the most vile concoction known to man if you have lived in America for more than 5 years" ...

I should hopefully get my part in this done this weekend guys. Sorry for the hold up. I kinda got a job in there, what the heck?

oh, just read the [url=http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Tourneyfag]ED entry that I first saw that in. Of course, horribly NSFW and all that. I apologize for linking ED.

oh yeah, the rushed tommy is really damn good. cuts out some of the extra crap, rocks right through it.

Do you have the Deluxe edition with the whole Tommy thing? It sounds a bit rushed at points, but that they could bust that out in the middle of the regular set just makes the Who that much more amazi ...

Xenogears had some fun localization stuff. The random voice samples that play out of nowhere are great, specifically Bart yelling "JERK!" in a very low quality sound file that the first time I heard ...

That could be an interesting game fusion, though. A JSR game where you pick a guy and he becomes a freaking Crackdown-esque superhero over the course of the game. His added jumping ability and such ...

The first OC is kinda funny in that it is a lot more fun if you sit around trying to break it, and it was clearly made with such in mind. It is so basic and straight forward that I think a lot of bor ...

Like... car jumps?

I liked that by the end of the game I could jump as a dude from building to building like some sort of super hero. I swear, that game has the best platforming ever.

Yeah, the various figures in the book that take on a way larger than any life could have proportion are really awesome.

it really is a treasure trove of awesome (with some hilariously backwards racial and cultural biases) short stories.

The "aerith" thing just always annoyed me because it came up in various ff7 fanboy lovefests and I wanted to vomit.

Good stuff here, though, swimmy. Sister Ray is fucking great. Should have made ...

i want it to be an adventure game. because the high concept of half-life 2 is not shooting people.

i am so with dess on this. i wonder if i will ever finish this game.

Getting Up is actually almost a decent game. It has a few issues, but I think it showed some promise. Ecko's name is on it, but he isn't in it, and I think they just sorta used his name to leverage ...

or "will edit game magazine for shadowrun team."

What the hell is that?

I enjoy his movies as stupid comedies. Except Chasing Amy, which was boring, not funny, and yeah, seemed to have a not very good understanding of much.

FUCK I'm so glad this thread is back because if you look a couple pages ago we were talking about Rueben sandwiches, and I finally had one! It wasn't as great as America led me to believe, but it was ...

Have you found a place to move in to?
I did, and the lawyers are currently working on the contracts so that I don't get screwed. I should be in a house by Mar 14th at the latest. Getting all of my st ...

Have you found a place to move in to?

And yeah, I figured it would get done when it did, what with all the various upheavals in people's lives and all that. I still think TGQ puts some great stuff ...

I wonder when people will try to game the system by manufacturing custom "songs" to garner max points.

I have already seen a few songs where people have very clearly just made a version of the son ...

I got it, and am working on it, but accidentally totally fucked up where the start location is, so you will need to fix that. otherwise, things go well and I am figuring some fun stuff out so this sh ...

Eh there are some minor things that tie him in, yeah. And Dante comes in to show him how it is done, which is hilarious. the second half of the game is almost a parody of the first half.

are you emailing it to me or what? I just want to know where to look for it.

ghost squad.

bring a saved game!

I don't think the game lets you, unfortunately, or it seemed like that in KY. But it is such a fucking awesome game.

Most people seem content with making enough money to buy a condo, car, tv, etc.

Yeah, i think what Mustache is getting here is accurate with regards to your problem dess. You are there to work an ...

perhaps i notice this simply due to having to format the whole thing.

No, you are noticing it because it is FUCKING EVERYWHERE. Every grad student I know has played the game of making these kinds ...

Do they have "History of Games" classes? Any attempt at filling in a basic knowledge base of pre-existing games?

Yeah, this is something I was thinking about. A lot of Creative Writing programs ha ...

Then again I'm willing to bet these guys who talk about World of Warcraft are just really into World of Warcraft.

This is probably the case, but i am just trying to give dess some hope.

Yeah, I wasn't saying all people at dess's school should know videogames. I guess my own schooling is a bit different, as we are there to study literature, so I would expect people to be better read, ...

a classmate and i were expressing our mutual dismy at the fact that so many of our classmates' experience with videogames does not seem to extend far beyond world of warcraft.
This isn't too uncommon ...

Man, yeah, this game is a lot of fun. And hilarious for some random music. Also, Journey is amazing for it, haha.

scorename=boojiboy7

i feel like nearly all of half-life 2's scenes go on too long, actually.
Anything mostly involving shooting, anyway. Nova Prospekt? Urg. Route Kanal? Urf.

Yeah, pretty much.

It's something that is a magnificent disaster. A game that tries really hard, that you can tell had a shitload of heart behind it, but that in the end just never quite worked, but worked to show enou ...

Man, there is a restaurant in downtown cleveland that takes a huge all beef hotdog, cuts it down the middle, stuffs cheese in there, and wraps bacon around it, and then puts it on a wonderful bun. Oh ...

It would have been so much better off as a Batman game.

Man, I just pretend I am Batman when playing it and ignore that I am killing people.

guys i just wear a scarf because it keeps my neck warm.

Yeah, I am inclined to go with Dracko. In Cleveland winters, scarves are just like gloves, tons of people wear them and nobody thinks a thing about it.

I'm still pretty hopeful about two things. First, that we haven't seen the whole roster, and that Capcom is just trying to please people who bitched about sf3 missing the old cast. Secondly, we don' ...

Australia is shipping its rain overseas. We decided that we're all sick of it over here so we are sending it to Canada like the unopened Christmas present we never wanted in the first place. We have p ...

Umbrella Chronicles is actually interesting. There aren't as many zombies to shoot as, say, a House of the Dead game, but the game prioritizes critical hitting the zombies. The boss fights are real ...

So I grabbed some clippers and cut my hair down to about 3/4 of an inch today and it feels nice not to have my 'fro, but also a bit cold.

Why the hell is it thunderstorming in January in Cleveland? ...

Frasca (who many people would describe as a ludologist) rejects the dichotomy and I'd tend to agree with him, so yeah, while it exists in terms of clashes between formalism, it might not "exist", ho h ...
