Bronty Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Act Raiser So good! One of my favorites as a kid. Not too many games combined side-scrolling hack n slash with a strategy simulation. yeah that game was whoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transplant Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've been so engrossed in ACIII that I haven't picked up the retro Wii controller I bought for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I remember getting about halfway through on a MAME pc emulator. I hope I enjoy it as much the second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I checked out part of the first link (skimming is an art form ) and I have to say I am impressed with the visuals, for sure. But I find myself not at all excited by the prospect of playing that? I dunno, to me there is so much going on there that it distracts the eye. If we are going to use comic book analogies its a little bit like Todd M (or Liefeld ) drawing 1 million squiggly lines that impress but simultaneously overwhelm the eye where the action and impact of a panel can be more easily and more powerfully expressed with a few lines (kirby etc..). To put it back in game terms, the shiny graphics are great but let's not crowd the frame simply because we can. Let's say its a racing game and not a rpg... its great to see the cars look realistic. But let's not put 1,000 cars on the track just because we can. We need to save the shiny graphics for the important things, like jiggly boobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have to pay shipping either way, check out my location! But thanks for the information! Right, so with that in mind, honestly, I wouldn't touch a pawnshop. Besides with ebay at least you'll have some control on the process. Good luck getting a refund from some random pawn guy. Actually, come to think of it, I have a friend that owns a game store in Ohio. I'm sure you could get a snes from him if you wanted one, and then at least you aren't dealing with some random person. I'll pm you his info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COI Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Dan, you should play Skyrim. Skyrim is a perfect example of how stunning graphics and an intricately detailed world with a beautiful soundtrack can add to the immersion of a game, and make you completely addicted.

Bronty Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'll tell you what Andrew, I will try it. It will probably take me forever to get through it esp. with the time of year (soon to be very busy at work) but I'll try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COI Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I know how limited your time is, so PM me whenever you do decide to play, and I'll give you a little primer on the game. It's a game with unlimited quests, so you can literally play forever, but the real appeal is exploring the world. No two people will have similar experiences with this game; you can go to a mage's college to learn magic, become the head of a thieves guild, join a secret society of assassins and take out targets all over the world, contract the vampire disease and feed on people while they sleep, turn into a werewolf, and much, much more. And all of that is separate from the main quest. It's the type of thing you can keep going back to for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bane Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Dan, you should play Skyrim.

I'd be roaming the country side when all of a sudden a Dragon's skeleton would land on me from nowhere. Edited January 21, 2013 by Bane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Heard something about that but I'm not familiar with. Care to explain? I thought it would be fun to show, since we mentioned final fight, this unfolded box. (not flattened but *never* folded). May not seem like much at first blush, but if you think about it all boxes got folded during manufacture so one that's never been folded literally you would literally have to pluck it off the assembly line and only an employee or whatever would be in the position to do that. As a result I would never fold it or use it because I think its more interesting in its current state as an obviously non-retail item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
