I feel like a special man for having this much trouble finding the damn thing. Took me about 20 minutes of meandering and time warping before I figured out the only way to get to the carnival was by going through the Special option in the title menu.

Twitch needs to find a way to sneak a couple hours of Wolf Metal Chaos into the stream.

Here’s the kicker. I’m a collector and I scoff at anyone who takes pride in keeping their games sealed. Not only will it likely destroy your copy in the long run, you’re only preserving it in this state for the financial gain. Price tags, stickers, all of that can be appreciated as provenance, but there’s no excuse…

My main complaint was always against nameless hero #58531. Wet cardboard has more depth than the first game’s main protagonist.

A Black Series 3PO? Who would want that? The only time I can ever recall using 3PO as a kid was when I used 3PO as a proxy Maschinenmensch for mock class warfare.

Besides this one I have been a Dragon Quest fan for most of my life. DQ 1-4 were localized on the NES but I would recommend playing the remakes on the DS.

I’m getting close to the end of this bad boy. My lord, RPGs take forever on the NES.

[...] but I’d also like for us to make more mech games like Armored Core, or Asian style titles like Tenchu or Otogi: Myth of Demons.

You know how salt water gives you those precious curls.

Wow. Noctis’ Japanese voice actor is...not bad. I mean, it’s a lot better than Gruffs McGee in Episode Duscae.

Mine came in from a GameStop preorder less than two weeks ago. I was amazed it even came in at all. Sadly it has three massive scratches on the top. Jesus, I wouldn’t have even ordered it if I knew the silicon band was going to feel so cheap.

Oddly enough I’ve always been very critical of the tedium and shallowness of many JRPGs and yet DQ is the only series I get genuinely excited for. I mean, playing the NES originals was pretty tough as a kid but I fell in love with it after VII. (I mean, back in the day I used to draw my own rudimentary maps because I…

The triggers were great. I thought they were used excellently in Star Wars Rogue Leader.

It’s really ironic to see all this love pour out for the GCN controller. It wasn’t more than ten years ago when critics from GamePro, Game Informer, X-Play, etc. were bashing how unorthodox the controller was. Granted, we’re part of the gaming community and our modus opperandi is to complain incessantly, but I really…

Yeah. It was a neat toy decades ago, now light pens are more niche toys for obnoxious vintage PC and video game collectors like me.
Thanks! It’s a reference to the funniest round of D&D I ever had. The local innkeeper was a real dick to us so I convinced my party to round up a few corpses and use them to frame the…

I always thought that light pen was such a neat idea. Too bad they only sold, like, five.

No pain, no gain.

Too bad the original Crash Bandicoot was a single difficulty game. GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME ELENA.

Even though the machete exploit just about killed on foot combat for me, I still have a soft spot for Warhawk. For the short span in time the servers were reasonably populated I had a blast with the large scale battles. It was really a shame the game’s online presence didn’t have much longevity past the initial…

But did you count the power issue? Those systems were beautiful nonetheless but the power bricks, along with the console’s internal power system, have a nasty failure rate.
