Congrats on being a real gamer by knowing what a sound byte says in an old videogame! All us poser gamers who were too busy playing and having fun to care could learn a thing or two from you.

I don't remember what triggered it, but I remember the context being around when someone was getting their ass kicked and/or a combo being broken, so somehow it made sense in my mind. Without the Internet, how the hell could anyone guess it said "toasty"? Unless you read that somewhere, seriously, how could you guess…

I always thought he said "whoopsie!" for some reason. Dat quality sound in the 90s, I suppose. Haha. I finally looked it up a year or so ago and had all of my illusions shattered.

That's where I've been for a while now, honestly. That's why Nintendo and indie games have been my savior. Don't get me wrong, AAA titles are nice here and there, but I only like snagging a few here and there. They're like the greasy cheeseburgers of my gaming diet; they can be delicious, but best enjoyed in…

For the hell of it, I'll add my own here and we can turn this into a thread for user posts. (Edit: Now I see way more of them popping up below... oh well). Plus, I'm curious as to what I actually finished this year...

As someone who uses the internet/Netflix a good bit at home and barely goes over 70 GB most months, I can't fathom how someone uses 350 GB. I'm pretty sure my highest, when I used OnLive constantly and watched plenty of Hulu and Netflix was like 110 GB. I guess it's an amount I literally can't understand, but…

Never mentioned that in my post, but nonetheless, as someone who used OnLive extensively for a while, I can vouch for the fact that it really doesn't impact bandwidth as much as people think. It's no worse than Netflix, really, since you're just streaming video essentially. If it's not the only way you play and you're…

I definitely applaud Sony for this move and would love to see others follow suit. I think it makes sense for Sony to move to offering their games as a service as a form of protection for their games and assets; if the console market fails, well, guess what? With Playstation Now, anyone could buy any/all of their games…

I'm always going to hope for a OnLive-style monthly payment situation that lets you access the entire library of Virtual Console games for $10 a month or something similar. It'd be a great way to avoid worrying about the timing of release for them, and let people purchase titles individually if they still wanted to…

I had a red one when Target had the $150 sale not long ago but exchanged it for the Mario & Luigi one when they had it in stock 2 days later. It's definitely not an ugly piece of hardware in person (personal opinion, anyway, so feel free to disagree and/or disregard) and the free game was more than enough to sway me.…

I find the site pretty but boring. I've never read more things that sounded like flat press releases in my life. They have some great features, don't get me wrong, but many of them are on topics I'm not especially interested in, and as a result, are overlong for a reader who's anything but really interested in the…

I thought the same thing, but Monaco apparently won the grand prize in 2010, which I only remembered because my Humble Store purchase came with the prototype as a bonus item. Never played Gunpoint, but I definitely will give it a try eventually.

Interesting theory. If nothing else, I could easily see it being a natural fit for the system. Nonetheless, it'd never happen.... since third parties seem to be allergic to the console (I already know the reasons why, but it doesn't make it any less of a bummer for folks like me who would happily pay full price for…

I loved that level... such lovely music, and the water looked absolutely amazing in it. Such fantastic atmosphere and charm.

Games can be, and be about, literally anything. Try not to let how you're defining a game get in the way of what you'll play, or you might miss out on some amazing games. I just bought Papers, Please, and I can't wait to give it a try, but then, I like games with a hard edge to them, that are about quieter things like…

No worries. No offense taken! Like I said, I loved MGS but 2 just lost me, and the series just seems beyond my grasp now. Maybe someday I'll come back to it, though.

I was also like 13 or something when I played it, so I was a stupid kid at the time. I also hated them ditching Snake, which made me angry in my teen nerd rage. I might like it and the series more now, but at the time, I just didn't like the game enough to invest in the story.

By no means am I judging your taste or love of the series. Love and play what you love and play! I'm a Nintendo fan, and by extension, forfeited all rights to criticize other folks' love of franchises (Zelda being my favorite, so, yeah... its been a good 20 years I've been replaying the same game over and over, and I…

I'm mainly only discussing the trailer above, and the description of it as being powerful.... Which I would never consider it. A bunch of nonsense about revenge with some blatantly manipulative music isn't very powerful.... It's pretty generic. The series, however, is completely insane. I loved the first one, and 2…
