  • 30 SNES games you should play in your lifetime

    Quote from Kaynil

    30. Shadowrun - Hadn't even heard of this steampunk RPG


    Shadowrun isn't steampunk, it's cyberpunk. It's based off of a classic tabletop RPG set in Neo-Seattle. I've always wanted to find people to play it with.

    The video games have never really drawn my interest, but I should probably try the recently kickstarted reboot of the franchise.

    28. Goof Troop - Hah! Puzzle one. I think I didn't know it existed.


    I have fond memories of playing this as a kid. It's shockingly good, given that it's a licensed Disney game.

    25. Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - I think Sardonic Pickles owns this one but I might be wrong.


    This game is terrible. Play Super Star Wars or Super Return of the Jedi. SESB is fucking awful. I don't know anyone whose gotten past the second level.

    23. NBA Jam - I was like "pass" until I read about being sillier than today's sport games. Count me in!


    I haven't played this since I was a kid, but I remember enjoying it. Particularly when the ball caught on fire and you blew up the basket because you're such an awesome player, or something.

    15. Super Castlevania IV - Curious considering is a sort of remake of the first one based on what the article says.

    It's really not. I mean, it might be a remake in a narrative sense. But if that's true, the Super Mario World is a remake of Super Mario Bros 3, right?

    I honestly prefer the original Castlevania over 4, but it's a tough call. The original Castlevania has the tight controls and killer gameplay. Super Castlevania 4 has that visual style that I love so much about the latter day Castlevania games.

    8. Final Fantasy VI - Bucketlist


    Talk about a mature game. Mature in the sense that it takes itself seriously and tackles difficult subject matter. A beautiful experience.

    7. Star Fox - I wouldn't mind trying it.


    As revolutionary as this game was, I really don't think it has aged well. Starfox 64 is an improvement in every respect, IMHO. There's not a lot to gain from playing the original.

    6. Super Metroid - Yes. Good game. I have played it but not till the end.

    5. Donkey Kong Country - Played it. Pretty cool one.

    Is it weird that I've never been able to get into either of these games? I've played both, and they're certainly competent. I can acknowledge their quality. But there's just no hook for me. Nothing that makes me want to keep playing beyond the first hour or so.

    1. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past - Eh... kind of overrated. Not that special...

  • The Legend of Zelda Cartoon Rewritten

    Quote from Kaynil

    So why did you choose to include the Queen of Hyrule and make Zelda older than Link? Is the queen name's Zelda as well?

    Zelda is older than Link because Zelda is kind of the 'senior partner' in the relationship. And from a kids perspective, the older kid can get away with being "the boss" without being "bossy." Also, I dislike the trend of having groups of children who just happen to be the same age. Also, I'm strongly opposed to the Link + Zelda pairing. So separating them by age is one way to make a romance between them seem less inevitable.

    I decided I wanted Zelda to have a living, active parent, because she's princess Zelda. Why I decided to go with a mother instead of a father is mostly because of my personal style. I like writing women in positions of authority, and using women to fill roles that most people would assume would be filled by a man.

    I like the episode clever, it is probably one of the most 80's sounding kind of witty game-of-words plot.
    I guess between seasons a slight change that sounds progression is good.

    Quote

    Maybe the seasons should be shorter than 20+ episodes. It might be hard to keep the show fresh between episode 10 and episode 23. Unless you already have some idea on what kind of episodes/lessons you want the characters to go through meanwhile.

    If someone actually wanted to fund this, I'd be down to do a 13-16 episode season. My preference as a viewer is 24 or 26 episodes per season. Particularly in a half-hour show, anything less than that feels rushed to me. You need some mellow episodes between your high points to let things settle into place.

    Of course, never in a berjillion years would I actually get to make this show. But it was fun to write the draft.

  • Batman v. Darth Vader

    It really does give both characters fair play, with some interesting interplay between them. The dialogue is shit, but that's more than made up for by the love that went into the costumes and performances.

    And Darth Vader getting his helmet half blown off mid-fight is a really cool visual.

  • Do you use social apps?

    I don't have a smartphone, so a lot of this stuff isn't really aimed at me.

    I've never had a facebook account (though I was actually in college back when you had to have a college email address to get an account.)

    I usually keep AIM running, but nobody really uses that anymore.

    Really, aside from forums, the only social networking I do is through google+, and maybe Steam.
