Karateka, Pooyan, and Aquatron on my Apple IIc. Oh yeah, and the old 1982 The Hobbit game (which came packaged with a copy of the book and got me into reading — proof that good things come from early video game experiences :)

I understand venting, and that venting is a self-involved process (thus a justification for his decidedly "ORE" take on Japanese culture and societal quirks), however it would have been better if Tim had just said, "Guys, I'm really really mad and I'm not gonna take it anymore." I have no problem reading…

I remember liking the clicky feeling of the stick...but not much more really.

Nice. I wish Nintendo had put out more bitGeneration titles.

Ghibli Museum! Dude I have that same exact photo, just sans person. I think everyone is obligated to take it while they're there... #nightnote

@SplotchEleven: Agreed. In a world where you can nuke an entire town (Fallout 3) and feel no remorse, maybe it takes a scene where you are forced to gun down innocents to evoke a real reaction in people? It may be "hard to stomach" as I've read on various sites, but it's a game, about killing people, where you are…

Again, makes me happy I have a Roku player. #netflix

Havok. I hate how everything _feels_ the same now. Sure it's a great physics engine...but damn.

@gique: same for akiba too really...the first time I cam upon Super Potato was totally and accident (and shady as hell)... #r4

@Skyman747: And I think perhaps you should learn about the actual definition of the term rather than telling me how many times I can download it.

"free of their plastic prisons" but chained tightly with DRM? Fated to die a muted death for lack of any sort of ability to even become classic? As a tried and true PS3 fan, I hope the PSPGo dies and ugly, costly death for Sony.

@EmeraldDragon: English, the Monica Belluci of this real-world Irréversible...

@kainzero: HERE! So jealous of Sorimachi...so happy there's another Nanako + Nintendo commercial.

@thecrisisfromthesky: I would presume "time to market" and profitability play a factor here. Especially these days, it's better to turn around a product that can immediately be a source of profit for the distributor (mostly so that the developers don't have their primary source of funding suddenly DISAPPEAR out from…

@ifrit: Aaaand I just realized I didn't read your post well enough...since you already listed that. Hmm. I recommend Blanton's bourbon then. You can taste the sour mash and it's ohhhh so smooth.

Pernod (mixed with water), if you like absinthe-like drinks without actually braving the "I just woke up in an unfamiliar stairwell", Robert Downey Jr. style mornings of that demon drink. I wish I could say I'm kidding.

@synapticflow: Drug use really doesn't have anything to do with morality. That's a construct of the system you/we are living in.

@Mancomb Seepgood: Not to mention systemic racism and xenophobia.

Honing my BlazBlue skills. Then maybe some Little King's Story.

This just made my day. I remember playing Loom late one night at a friend's house, and basically not sleeping (or leaving!) until I beat it. Such a simple yet fun game for kids. I'll definitely pick up a refresh for nostalgia alone.
