Feel free to add topics to this thread as you think of them, or discuss topics that are already underway. This might get confusing.

I'll start the ball rollling:

CHARACTERS IN GAMES YOU WANT TO HAVE IT OFF WITH

Fishing Lake girl in Twilight Princess.

For some reason I geniunely believed there was a way to get her to fall in love with Link if you caught enough fish.

Jill Valentine, Resident Evil remake.

HOTT.

Link in Ocarina of Time (blue tunic only)

[couldn't find a picture of this]

When I first played this game, he pretty much never took that blue tunic off. It matches his eyes.

I've changed my mind on this thread. Can we delete it?

For the record I don't spend my whole time thinking about having it off with cartoons.

i didn't read this thread, but there's a new wendy's commercial (the one where they're sucking down helium in the office) and i swear to god that the voice-over at the end of the commercial is the same guy that does the voice for guybrush threepwood in monkey island 3

Speaking of commercials, there's a certain Olive Garden commercial where the host from Double Dare 2000 is sitting at the table ordering food. He's all, "Eh, I'll know what I want when I see it." As he's looking at the menu. Then the waiter goes by with the featured meal, and he says, "I think I just saw it, Hahahahaha!"

I've been trying to find that commercial everywhere so I can show my DD2000 obsessed buddy.

Does the Saturn use a standard s-video cable? I've been trying to find pictures of a Saturn s-video cable online, but all I've seen are far off product shots for places like Play-Asia.

Fort90 I wanna see your list

I regret starting this thread, but I won't deny I used to get a boner when Bob Hoskins bonks his head off Jessica Rabbit's boobs. And I used to back Lara Croft up against a wall so I could see her chest heaving. And I had a picture of Posh Spice wearing a black top which every night I used to 'add to' using a black pen. Her tits got kinda ridiculous.

If I've got an interest in Dodonpachi on about the level of "hey, I might try this dodonpachi game, if I can play it on this laptop," is there a place for me in this world?

Whatever happened to PC game compilation packs? Looking at the dates of the included games, many weren't even a year old; and there are some really good titles in there (Jagged Alliance, Master of Orion II, etc.). I recall going to Office Depot on Sundays to buy bargain bin games that were still fairly new and popular. Good times.

I dunno, it was a picture that didn't seem to warrant its own topic, so here it is!

So, what badly translated Japanese RPG does the "X GET!" gamer slang meme come from, anyway? And what item or items were typically gotten?

Harveyjames · the meteor kid Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 3636

It was the Japanese version of Super Mario Sunshine! SHINE GET!! They should never have changed it for the western release.

Interestingly the German version congratulates you with 'BRAVISSIMO!!', but the Italian version just has whatever the Italian is for 'You Got A Shine',

it's screenmas, tgq!

i hear the t-can's in worse shape every day

for dess:

have you tried korokoro postnin? it's an intriguing variant on cameltry, wherein your character actually moves faster if you hug the walls. i've only tried it for a few minutes, but i thought you might dig it. warning: features hella annoying voice samples.

i've heard of it, but never played it. is it a playstation game? i can maybe burn a copy.

Can't you do it in Bioshock as well?

You can get drunk at least.

Almost all of Space Quest 4 is spent traipsing to the ends of space and time in order to find a cigar butt and a book of matches, which you must smoke at the right time to proceed to the endgame.

Also Metal Gear NES come on parkbench.

Also all existing chapters of captaincabinets' Klik & Play "relationship-game-o-bliggity-blog".

Not sure if you can smoke cigarettes in Morrowind. I'm inclined to think that you can't.

On the other hand, there's a crack-like drug that people smoke. Not sure if the player character does or whether you just eat it.

In Gothic 1 you can smoke what is very clearly a joint.

I want to get quadruple-penetrated by Prosecutor Godot, Edgeworth, Phoenix wright and gumshoe while getting whipped by female von karma

and gumshoe is screaming TAKE IT, PAL! YOU LIKE THAT, PAL! YEAH, PAL!

Harveyjames · the meteor kid Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 3636

Gumshoe?

That's hot.

As I'm sure I've stated before, I don't really get turned on by cartoons. Although I did once I had a wank while playing Another Code: Trace Memory.

Harveyjames · the meteor kid Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 3636

I just hit upon something. The thing about videogames is, the type of logical mind you need to be able to program videogames is the opposite to the type of mind needed to be creative.

Programmers have too much power. Ideally programmers should be relegated to the level of electritians on a film set. i.e., do what the guy wearing the beret and holding the megaphone says, dork. No I don't want to hear your idea for a game which combines Quake, Metal Gear Solid and Spawn.

true none the less.

programmers get paid SHIT TONS, too. more than any other discipline.
this is usualy justified with a "no programmer means no game" kind of rethoric.

there should a be great industry wide design strike.
just to see what kind of fucking garbage would come from that.

and then we come back, triumphant, in control, rich.

Harveyjames, what you say is mostly empirically true, but as a programmer who's not a creative retard, as well as an armchair videogame historian (I mean, Ron Gilbert was an assembly coder, dude), I have to take some exception to the idea that programmers are somehow inherently incapable of creative thinking by virtue of the fact that they're capable of creating and working within rigid logical structures.

But yeah, most programmers really are not very <strike>interesting people</strike> good game designers and should not pretend to be so.

(Honestly most programmers are not very good programmers, either.)

Harveyjames · the meteor kid Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 3636

Yeah, I realised it was a sweeping generalisation when I typed it, but it seems to have at least an ounce of truth in it. I think the worst thing about games is that they're so hard to make- it's not like punk where you can go 'here's one chord, here's another, here's a third, now form a band' and you get this grass-roots, deconstructivist cultural upheaval at street level, people get to express themselves, and the energy and freshness of the movement feeds back into mainstream culture and everyone is happy (I think I've had this train of thought on here before and made exactly the same analogy, and as I recall Dhex quickly pointed out that most punk was terrible, so I defined why movements like punk are so important a little better this time).

Here's a true thing: When my dad finished university he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life, and some guys went round the universities giving people tests. The tests were designed to see how logically-minded and straight-foward people's brains were. My dad passed tested as being very straight-forward and logical indeed, and they offered him a job as a computer programmer. This was in the early 60's.

Also, he is not at all imaginative. ...except when he's speculating on what homosexuals get up to. Then he comes out with some wacky shit.
