i am now! i'm curious whether arkedo learned from their mistakes in brickdown or not.
You get 10 different world, each with their own distinct rules and abilities
So probably not.

This doesn't bode well.

It's much better! There are all kinds of little interface improvements, like being able to see if enemies are dozing, your avatar accurately representing your equipment, and a bunch of more subtle stu ...

I don't know where I'd wear it.
It doesn't go with anything I own.
But I want it.

One of my favorite memories of WoW, back before the expansion, was when I managed to climb over some supposed-to-be-unclimbable hills into the empty area which I believe is now Quel'thalas. This was t ...

Guys, Baroque certainly isn't the best roguelike ever made, but I'm pretty sure it's the best realtime graphical roguelike ever made. As someone who finds this microscopic subgenre compelling, I'm pre ...

[url=http://www.tocoroten.net/yotsupara/download.html]Yotsupara! is a freeware doujin game that is basically [url=http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2008/01/cursor10.html]Cursor*10 as a puzzle platformer.

Angels thanatos is pretty hard.

I think it refers to the permadeath and lack of backup saves which is the entire point of roguelikes. In pretty much all other single-player games failure means a boring slog through experiences you j ...

So close.

Let's see if this works:

Normal: eye-look
Inverted: head-look

Yeah. Even in real life, if I look upward I don't think of it as tilting my head back, I'm pointing my eyes/face upward. So the app ...

Oh shit, that's getting localized? The psx version was fascinating but full of scary kanji.

The biggest problem with doing this on PC has to do with control. There's a reason consoles started doing 3D and having analog sticks at the same time. More and more people are getting console-style c ...

and putting the included files in \crawl on your flashcart, right?

... man, I thought hard-coding absolute directory structures went out of style in the 90s. Problem solved, thanks!

That's the exact same problem I have. It's been confusing the hell out of me, since every DS with an R4 should run the thing the same, but no one else was complaining about this.

R-Type Leo is the most enjoyable of the series, from my experience. This may or may not be because it's easier. Also thirding or fourthing that Gradius V is wonderful.

So is Dwarf Fortress officially the most complex videogame ever made yet?

Forgive me while I dredge up the DSCrawl subject yet again... anyone had any luck with [url=http://errabes.org/pogo2/]this? It's a DLDI version that supposedly works or did at one point, but when I ru ...

Seriously, without the gods there's no way I'd get as far as I have. Like, Okawaru or Trog will give you way more artifacts than Xom with none of the drawbacks. It's pretty simple to figure out [url=h ...

PROTIP #1: Berserking with an amulet of resist slowing is a very good idea.
PROTIP #2: Don't go traipsing around the bottom of the dungeon with only 3 int!

So now I'm all hyped for Mother 3... but I never finished Earthbound. And I don't relish either replaying what I have played, or trying to regain my inertia, especially since it didn't quite manage to ...

Metroid 2 is required playing if you can stand getting lost in games. As for Zero Mission...it's got a bit of what you (and I) hated about Fusion, but toned down, and thankfully no dialogue. It also g ...

I got cocky and my berserk wore off. :( Would've been fine too, if I'd switched to my vamp axe.

How much warning did you have of your impending doom? That scroll of fear and/or any of your means of ...

So now I'm playing as Grain, son of Groin, the aforementioned previous best run. These dwarven fighters are kinda nice after all the casters I've played, being a lot more durable and able to equip ton ...

I'm pretty sure the elemental ones can be slightly useful for beating things with, but the main point of staves is the passive boost to your casting and/or resistances when you're wielding them. Rods, ...

I'm more into Crawl right now than I've been into any game since... Shiren, come to think of it. I upgraded to play Oblivion but Crawl's been getting all my time. My last character made it to level 20 ...

Hey, I can't seem to find that link to System Shock Portable (the XP port). Does anyone still have links to System Shock 1/2 ports for XP?

Liquid flames really suck!

Unless you're the one throwing them around. Thanks largely to that spell, my Deep Elf Flame Elementalist made it to level 11 (after surviving my first trip to the Abyss, ...

On the off chance that anyone will actually be on at the same time as me.

Just to make sure: are you playing it in the dark, with the sound turned up?

That walk through the woods at the beginning, being horribly unnerved by the sounds I was hearing, was actually one of m ...

I'll get right on that.

All this talk of Majora's Mask made me try N64 emulation again, 'cause I'm a sheep. But I played other games too!

Sin and Punishment is dead sexy. Everyone who says it's a rail shooter is lying, it ...

orz is supposed to be lowercase, anyhow.

Hey, that's a pretty neat [url=http://www.gamersquarter.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=975&highlight=camel+ball]idea.

I'm looking for a game that can capture that ephemeral feeling, which I can't quite give a name to.

I've always thought of it simply as "badass factor", and it's present to some degree in most of t ...

My computer's just powerful enough to emulate Radiant Silvergun well enough that I can tell how awesome it'd be if my computer were more powerful. Someday...

Finally got my graphics drivers to work properly! OpenGL works again!

Expect high scores in the near future.

And I still hate it for not telling me what items do before I buy them. Why isn't there an item guide on gamefaqs yet? What the hell?

Metroid 2. Far more than the other Metroids.

Shadow of the Beast.

Harvest Moon, at least in the beginning.

How are you finding your way around in Shadowrun, dess? Last time I tried, the first run I got was to escort a guy from the Whooziwhat Building to the Such-and-So Building, but there was no indication ...

I was totally going to mention my 34,137,037 score on Gunroar (twin stick mode) which was for quite a while the highest recorded score in the english-speaking world. But now it looks like someone's mo ...

Contra arcade > Contra NES.

This is one of the wrongest things I've ever read. When I press a diagonal direction and shoot, that means I want to shoot diagonally now, not five seconds from now.

Guys, I can't beat the stage 5 boss of Meredith Brooks. Any pointers?

The real obsessive DDR diehards will tell you that the cheapo $20 dance pads aren't anything like the real thing and aren't worth it. Which is wrong, you can play with one just fine unless for some re ...
