Huh, so you CAN spin jump in SMM. I didn’t think it was possible when I pressed A and it did the same thing as B. I wonder if it will take me long to commit that to muscle memory, or if I’ll have trouble unlearning it if I play SMW again.

A friend of mine says that a good artist is just a bad artist that never gave up. And as I would assert that game design is art, I expect that a number of people will gradually get better at designing levels over time.

I find that most video games are more fun if you’re not trying for a high score. I’m not trying to impress anyone; I’m trying to unwind after work.

Did this cartoonization turn Vincent into an Australian? (Or New Zealander, if the TF2 comics are canon.)

That is, indeed, a problem: people have no idea what they want. A good story in a video game isis, IMO, interwoven with the gameplay. However, video games are not movies, and some of the finest video games have had very little in the lines of plot. What’s the plot of Super Mario Bros? It all boils down to, “Bowser…

I used to have that problem. Used to. And I am MUCH happier note that I’m free of that.

Wow, this discussion system seriously does NOT want to work with mobiles. This is the THIRD TIME trying to type this in!

Snake, Rattle and Roll comes readily to mind.

Ugh, numbers breathing down yet neck when you play a game. I don’t care for that one bit. I don’t play games to FEEL stressed. I play games to RELAX and have FUN. That’s why, when unranked was introduced in SC2,I turned away from ranked and never looked back. Hell that’s part of the reason I stopped trying to unlock…

It’s silly if you take Cyan and Gau to the Opera House, as then Ultros is trying to get his revenge on four people he’s never met before.

Well, the intro to Mega Man 7 called the main antagonist “Dr. Willy” instead of Dr. Wily. Also, at the end, Mega Man said, “I gonna do” instead of “I’m gonna do”. Not the most outstanding of all bad dialogues in a video game.

I enjoyed this article. I think it really helps one to remember to remove those emerald-colored nostalgia glasses and realize that the city isn’t even green.

I heard about a guy that wore a Mr. Saturn costume and wound up suffering from the brutal heat for it. The costume was extremely accurate, though.

Offhand, the three minigames I enjoyed were the bike one, the submarine one, and the snowboarding one.

Beware of Nova and Zeratul, both of whom can actually find and kill you, even if you’re behind the forward walls.

To my understanding, the majority of what the TPP would do is largely unknown, as it has been kept secret from the public. What little is known about it came from leaks, and since not one bit of it has been good, there have been nearly constant petitions to delay and cancel it at every step along the way.

Let’s see here, which of those games have I actually played?

No.

You look for parts of a device (they are in pits) that allow you to contact the other aliens to come pick you up. Then you use the device at the broadcast location. Then you wait for them to pick you up from the landing zone. Also, the rooms are connected like the sides on a cube.

I’m mostly just shocked that they’re charging 40 dollars for the game. That just seems ridiculously overpriced for it.
