People clearing out their lofts for house-moving, and people who really can't be arsed with eBay, I guess. It would have been a real shame, anyway, as they're all in such fantastic condition. I really don't have the space for them myself, but I had to do my civic duty as a classic pew-pew wonk.

Sid Meier's Pirates!,Oblivion, all those types of games,etc. to many to list

Gjallarhorn · November 27th, 2009, 09:29 PM

AlestormFan102 · November 27th, 2009, 10:28 PM

I have slid backwards in my gaming and logged into World of Warcraft. otherwise its UFC Undisputed with my housemates to decide who does the cleaning

Turns out Jacko did contribute some music to Sonic 3, but didn't take any credit because he was snobby about chip music. Cunt.

ToastedOveries · December 3rd, 2009, 10:40 AM

Fuck man, sonic 3 has to be my favourite of the megadrive sonics, and up there with the master system sonic 1.

The songs, the graphics, level design, all top notch.

Shned · December 3rd, 2009, 04:20 PM

Ah, Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Playing through them together is what the mid-nineties were all about. The soundtrack picked up so much when Jun Senoue took over, and even then 1 and 2 were pretty tough to beat.

Makes me want to crack out the emulators and do it all again.

Yogge-Sothothe · December 9th, 2009, 07:41 PM

First Mega Man 10 images (featuring the best boss ever).

Also: Get this, ya bams. It's awesome, it's region-free, and supporting it may well ensure that the forthcoming ports of Ketsui and Espgaluda II are released in the UK.

Yogge-Sothothe · December 14th, 2009, 08:53 AM

You know who the worst people in the world are? Like, the proper fucking scum of the Earth? The people who create pages for games they've no intention of ever deigning to pad out with a bit of, y'know, elucidating infor-cunting-mation. This goes double if their pages have the temerity to invite you to do the leg-work. Useless sacks of 'hit'-seeking shit. I hope they all die of bollock cancer.

ToastedOveries · December 14th, 2009, 03:11 PM

I would say the people in the US government who hold back the empirical evidence of extraterrestrial life are worse. Cunts!

agreed, well basically the us government in general, which is controlled by the global elitists through the federal reserve. oh and that also reminds me of this show on ancient aliens on the history channel its pretty neat.

Brilliant, i shall watch thusly, love a good conspiracy/alien documentary.

Yogge-Sothothe · December 15th, 2009, 05:07 PM

Red Dead Redemption trailer.

Looks like it could be great, but that voiceover is minging. Sounds less like a trailer and more like a justification of the game's existence presented to Bob shitting Dole.

Swabs · December 15th, 2009, 05:26 PM

It runs on the same game engine as GTA IV, and personally I think that engine is fantastic for sandbox games so yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Yogge-Sothothe · December 15th, 2009, 05:33 PM

Aye, I'm sort of naturally predisposed to hate sandbox games, but I've finally gotten around to playing GTAIV, and it's pretty much consumed my entire week. Ace game. Great characters, too - it still makes me laugh that people will waffle endlessly on about boring cookie-cutter JRPG characters. This game's characterisation is actually "getting there", which is a fucking astounding achievement, really.

The driving is great when you get the hang of it, and some of the mission set-pieces are spot-on, but I have to admit the most fun I've had so far was in chasing a random Big Fat Man down several streets, gently nudging him and making him comically overbalance until he eventually got too tired (or scared) to stand up and sat there trembling.

I second that. The first game was pretty good for it's time too, although it fell through the cracks a bit. I'm not interested in anything western all that much really, but I feel it would be a nice twist as opposed to a majority of the games out now days. I also enjoyed Gun when it first came out o_o Idk how much shit I'm going to get for that, but....

All_Hail_Dio · December 18th, 2009, 03:47 PM

I made an account on this just to say that Oblivion is the greatest accomplishment in video game history.

noregsson · December 18th, 2009, 04:06 PM

I will ignore the troll, and instead ramble on about how awesome Breath of Fire 3 is.

Breath of Fire 3 is awesome.

I'm gonna assume it's a proto-retro-ironice joke.

And btw, Goooorrriiest TF2 pic

Yogge-Sothothe · December 19th, 2009, 06:33 AM

Man, the XBLA Christmas deals are looking bollocks. I thought they'd be offering a few games for half price, or something, but so far they've just been giving away accessories for your (utterly soulless and boring) avatar to wear. Oh well, Mushi Futari soon!

They should do an Avatar avatar. That'd be post-structuralist-as-fuck.

Fratt · December 21st, 2009, 11:25 AM

According to BioWare, the japanese RPG is dying. Not that it makes me sad or wut.

Yogge-Sothothe · December 21st, 2009, 12:47 PM

It's absolutely right to say that most modern JRPGs are pretty much creatively bankrupt, but dying? Not a chance. That shit still sells like hot heroin-laced cakes, and even if their audience was massively diminished overnight, you only have to look at shmups (a genre touted as 'dying' since about 1990, but which still does alright for itself and is still highly innovative) to see that the remaining spikey-hair faithful wouldn't have too much to worry about in the long run.
