Double post. Sorry.

Checking Craiglist in 3, 2, 1....

Not weird. DDRMAX2 on the PS2 is still my favorite in the series. Plus all the games are dirt cheap now. Enjoy the savings, and put it to use buying a good, thick pad. :)

On a related note, I found my PS2 era plastic guitars the other day. And it was sort of sad. I know that I'll probably never play Guitar Hero or Rock Band ever again...but I can't bring myself to get rid of the guitars. Too many good times shreddin' away with friends in a dorm room until the wee hours of the…

Agreed. I remember not knowing how to properly hold the controller (instead of using my thumb, I used all five of my fingers to move the joystick), since I had never experienced anything like it. The first level I played was Jolly Roger Bay, and I couldn't figure out how to swim...but man, as soon as I got out of…

This. Did anyone do this? I still have my stickers somewhere. It also took 45 minutes to print, since the Blockbuster guy had no idea how to work the thing, but it was certainly worth the wait.

Tales of Symphonia was such a pleasant surprise. I went into the game with no expectations whatsoever, and the game friggin' blew me away. I feel like I've played enough RPGs by now that I can see plot twists coming a mile away, but the game did a great job of constantly surprising me. Can't wait to revisit and see…

There is nothing stupid and arbitrary about this. I feel the same way. At this point, I've played all but XI. When XIV came out, I jumped on it, knowing that I had to strike while the iron was hot. Now that I've cut my teeth on an MMO, I feel like I need to play XI before the servers eventually go down, but…

Glad to hear it! The game really is a blast to play. I'm new to MMO's, so I don't have much to compare it to, but my time in Eorzea has been a ton of fun so far. And the community has been pleasant to far, too...I only had one poor dungeon experience, but I guess that just comes with the territory.

I did get a little misty eyed when DQ8 used the "Heavenly Flight" song from DQ3.

I love DQ7 to pieces, but it's definitely a tedious game. The remake promises to eliminate a lot of that. I hope for both of us that it gets released here!

I feel your pain! I've had that happen to me with other PS1 games. I would be completely demoralized if my DQ7 save was corrupted. As much as I enjoy that game, the prospect of starting from scratch seems pretty daunting.

I hear you. I wanted to love DQ IX. I did. But something about it felt off. At first, I thought it was just sort of a letdown because VIII was so incredible, and IX felt like a step back. But I feel like it's more than that...it was just missing that DQ charm I've grown to love, you know?

If you want a game that's going to keep you occupied for a long, LONG time, DQ VII is your game. It's probably not the most user friendly DQ game, and certainly has moments of tedium (you don't actually have a single battle in the first 2 hours), but I'd say overall it's one of my favorites. It will easily take 100+…

I sort of think that dropping the Woods name at this point won't affect sales too much. My guess is that consumers already know whether or not they want to play a simulation style golf game (well, at least it's tried to be a simulation). He hasn't really been the major selling point in recent years. EA was pumping…

Well, you know, not my first choice for a PS4 kiosk, but to each their own...

Yeah, I'm with you here! Maybe I didn't know any better at the time, but I really enjoyed the game. And the taunts! Oh yes the taunts...

Feeling down because Sephiroth just impaled your love interest? Sounds like somebody could use a fruit basket!

You know, now that I think about it...the scene is only triggered if you're not able to save Cid on the island (which I never seemed to be able to do). If you don't, here's what happens:

I have no idea where I got waterfall from. I'm thinking the cliff she jumps off of, as soon as you hit the World of Ruin. Looks like it's time for me to replay FF6 again. :)
