I actually liked the NES Mad Max. I still have my copy of it and occasionally play it.

I’m willing to admit part of it is nostalgia goggles. There are some big flaws in that game (like the fact that it can’t be completed if you use the last password), but I still think there’s a lot of fun to be had there.

the second one, The Road Warrior, is an amazing film. it’s one of my all time favorite films. sure the story is simplistic, but it’s not about story.

never heard of this... but intrigued by it. I’ll have to look it up.

sorry, this is a great game, but if I’m going to pay $20 for an old game, it better work without any effort from me... and it better have some nice extras.

I had to add. I’m only a few panels into Homestuck, but I’m already really loving it. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that. Very funny!

yeah, part of what intrigues me is the popularity of this game, but I know how easy it is to fall victim to hype and stuff like that too. I see it mentioned a lot, but I don’t know much about it other than the memes, and the fact it’s an RPG.

thanks. these answers all helped me out. you’re answer I think helped me the most, because I didn’t know it was a bullet hell game. I actually love bullet hell shooters. I have no idea how that would work in an RPG so I may check it out for that alone.

I do worry a little about the memes and stuff because I’m not part…

As someone who hasn’t played this game.... There more to the game than meme-bait dialogue like this, right? Or is that the core appeal?

Fun fact: 666 is in actuality a likely copy error of 616, so it’s funny people view 666 as being related to the devil.

“ridiculous Steam achievement”

Not exactly from the “past few years,” but it’s always worth mentioning! It and Wonderfalls deserve more recognition. Two really great shows.

Odd bit of trivia, but The Librarians is based on the low-budget, ultra-campy, made-for-TV film series, The Librarian, that used to air on TNT back when TV channels though cheesy, campy movies were something to boast about. Though I will admit the one film I saw, while stupid, was strangely charming. The first movie…

I don’t know. Does Sega make toys? I thought they were just a software publisher now.

I remember when people used to suggest Nintendo was more a toy company than a game company, because Nintendo dared to make family friendly games.... It’s strange to see pushing so hard towards selling toys, and weirder to see it being so financially successful.... I’m going to make a prediction: if Nintendo ever stops…

and I said there are other ways to convey color than texture

While there’s a lot of things wrong with what he did, I’m pretty sure 17 is legal there (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong). In fact, 17 is legal in much of the secular western world. I live in New York and I’m pretty sure that’s the legal age here too (though frankly I dated a 20 year old a few years back... and…

I gotta admit... I clicked this just because I thought I’d get a good laugh or two. But he actually watched a lot of good movies. While most of these might not be winners, my household rented most of them once. There’s a lot of good comedy in there too (at least for the time).

Agreed. Though I’d never play solo on Diablo 3 for PC... I’ve been killed by lag enough times in game to know singleplayer hardcore will just make me mad when the stakes are higher.

In some genres and games, sure.... But Diablo is at it’s core a dungeon crawler. That genre is built around the idea of living with decisions. Sure the way Diablo is structured, and the casual players its amassed, have made it possible to have the best possible character and never choose incorrectly.... but that…
