Seems I'm hooked on Bubble Bobble (NES Classic Edition) now. Ive never played Bubble Bobble before (I never had much interest in it) ... but I must say, it's a lot of fun! I keep going back and forth between it and Balloon Fight. 👍

Yeah Bubble Bobble was good. I actually like the sequel, Rainbow Islands better though.

This 'untold story of game development made me laugh out loud:

Steve Bristow – “I was in an office with three male toilets and one female, for 25 men and two women. Over a period of weeks, I noticed both women exiting their loo in a state of perplexity. It came to a head one day when Miss A entered the loo and shouted “FOR FUCK’S SAKE” loudly enough to stop the whole office.

“She stormed out of the bog and physically dragged Miss B into the can. More shouting. It transpired that, due to a plumbing malfunction, the deposits from Trap 1 in the mens’ (popular because it had a window) were being rerouted to the womens’ single stall and both women had been under the impression that the other was some kind of half human half mastodon with terrible flushing etiquette.”

I finished Dak Souls 2 scholar of first sin, with all DLC. Still the worst Souls game, changes didnt help.

It's not quite as good as the others, but I still loved it. Matter of fact, I want to replay them all.

How the hell do you not know what Bubble Bobble is? It was everywhere in the late 80s and even after that. Basically it's two dragons who blow bubbles to capture their enemies and then pop them to advance to the next level. It's one of the first really well done co-op games where two players are actually playing and strategizing together rather than just dividing up half the screen and shooting everything on it like others at the time.

One of the people on this form actually uses a piece of Bubble Bobble fanart as their avatar. But he's lame so fuck him. Doesn't really matter.

Yeah that was pretty funny. Some pretty crazy stories in there. I also got a kick out of the guy who would drive some around saying that this was all the game design that they needed. Tits and Tyres! LOL

Dude sounds like a dingus. The only thing that could possibly be worse then that is someone using a pic of CliffyB as an avatar.

I never noticed that or heard of the game. I thought that was a Jurassic Park Avatar.

Man, google is a piece of crap. For the umpteenth time I tried to create a google account just so I could save videos to watch on youtube, not on the computer. Went through the process, it asks for your telephone number so it can send you a text, this is after I verified my email code. And it says my phone cannot be used for verification. So once again, failure at the create an account process. So crap.

I started playing XC2. So far I've touched Pyra's well endowed chest and met Poppi, the metal sexdoll. Even for a Japanese game, that makes for a good start. Also getting a wizard of oz vibe, travelling with a lion and a tin woman.
