The Boba Fett fight was my original breaking point, I think. He was fucking hard enough to beat on his own, but then you had to fight his fucking ship as well.
I think I eventually got through the fight fair and square. But I'm pretty sure it's also where I started using cheats.
I mostly just find it funny that I asked a question about numbers, and google's top four answers included 5, 6, and 7.
Agreed. I also started out thinking it was neat, but it's PAINFULLY repetitive.
That's odd, I've only ever heard good things about the GC Resident Evil games.
Truth. Bloody Tears, my friends. Bloody. Fucking. Tears.
If you're not pumped up and ready to kill ghouls or some shit then I don't know how you're still alive. Because you certainly don't have a heart.
BONUS ROUND: The rearrangement "Bloody Hell" by Ailsean.
I never meant to imply that certain decades had good music and others did not. Of course, there is always good music to be found if you know where to look. But I hold to the assertion that money is the death of art. Not because money corrupts artists, but because people with money become the gatekeepers of artists, and people with money make terrible, awful, no-good, very-bad choices.
In the '60s, what was good and what was mainstream became the same thing. The gatekeepers with money were knocked aside by the passionate relationship between musician and audience. And it took those gatekeepers awhile to reassert their control.
Also, Neutral Milk Hotel is amazeballs. I'm kinda sad I wasn't able to see them on their reunion tour.
I really don't know what metric is good to use for naming a kid.
On the one hand, I'd never want to give a kid a common name. If my kid ever met someone with the same name that they have, I'd like that to be a surprise.
At the same time, I wouldn't want my kid's name to cause them too many problems.
I'd like to give my kid a role model. But have you ever noticed that people with well known names never actually seem to amount to anything themselves?
In the end, I think you should name your kid for your kid's sake.
I'm really talking more about how we view ourselves, and how American culture makes us feel about the balance of our own lives.
Economics is a different discussion, and one I don't think I've got the intellectual chops for. I have opinions, but they're weak and poorly supported. That shit is complicated, and a common sense approach tends not to work out the way you think it will. And everything is such a massive, interconnected web that a change that seems eminently reasonable, can have completely undesirable consequences.
For reals. Final Fantasy 4, 5, and 6? Chrono Trigger? These are games I never could have played without emulation. Particularly because when I played them, those games weren't yet being re-released on every new platform that came out. Your choice was between emulation, and paying hundreds of dollars for a cartridge on eBay. (Or, in the case of 5, importing a cartridge and a Super Famicom from Japan, and learning to speak Japanese.) And when they did get re-releases on the PS1, those releases SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED. So much load times.
Also, I once got all 120 stars in Super Mario 64 on an emulator. Using a keyboard as my only input device. Because I'm pro.
The Advance was great for being the first console to really begin the trend of taking classic games and porting them to handhelds.
Though the OoT style yips and YEAGHs added to LttP were criminal. =P
I feel like the edges of some of the platforms are a little...slippery? Where I don't know if I quite made it or not, and I end up sliding off the edge.
I mean, I enjoy it. It's a little annoying how infrequently you're allowed to save, but the powerups are neat and the levels are creative.
Maybe LoL siphoned off the shittier players. =P
So, help me out here: Why does Hitman Contracts suck?
I mean, I agree it sucks. I never enjoyed it. Apparently none of us enjoyed it. But I don't really know what about it sucks so much.
I agree. I didn't mind the linear gameplay either myself.
Linear gameplay is undervalued in our modern games culture.
Although, I do tend to think that an RPG should be more open. But FFX used its linearity to great effect, and you were able to revisit the old areas once you got the airship, and do quests that weren't available when you went through the first time. Sooo, yeah. Good game.
I drive a '94 Escort I bought used when I was 16. No dealership to talk to. =P
That's a lot of impressive work for just a couple days!
I only ever played the remake of Resi 1 on the GC. It didn't hold my interest, though I wouldn't mind taking another crack at it.
I am a stupidly huge fan of the movies. >=D
I'm not an economist, but by all accounts the gold standard is unsustainable. And I hardly think the metric by which we measure our wealth is the root cause of any social decline.
I don't really follow you there.
What's the most sexist remark you've ever heard in your life? The title of the thread?
I've never really been very handy with cars, but I figure this is a good opportunity to teach myself about vehicle maintenance.
Google is being a dick, though.
