I've been playing Retro City Rampage mostly and a little of Thomas was Alone both PC, both awesome.

Thomas was Alone = Lost Vikings

Retro City Rampage would be the greatest NES game ever made, had it been made in the era.  It's basically GTA2 but with the modern tropes of the open world game, along with a healthy does of 80's references and meta humor about gaming.  This guy was the first to do it, I;ve been reading about this game for years.  Sadly, by the time he published several more have done the same kind of thing.

Beyond the gimmick of making it 8-bit the game is actually enjoyable and compelling on its own merits.

I have been playing Darksiders 2. This game is criminally underated and destroys the first game, and is a lot better (IMO) than this generations Zelda games as well. Game is incredible.

The short, sad life of a GameSpot Troll:

Step One: Post in a Topic and have Carnage piss you off. (See 6:49am)

Step Two: Create a new Profile on that same day and start a topic for whatever reason... Maybe to make it seem like you are a legitimate Forumite. Maybe to rack up posts.

Step Three: Get called out by Archie and Leo and start acting like a douche. (See above)

Step Four: Have your REAL identity disclosed by Phantom_Leo. (See 11:53am)

Step Five: Sub-sequently get called out and insulted by Carnage. (See 5:50pm)

Step Six: Humiliated, create a Suicide-Topic to insult a game Carnage has a boner for.

Step Seven: Attract all sorts of weirdos to said topic. (See 6:26am)

~~The End~~

Breath of Fire 4? Really? Meh... I liked the second one, and how they continually evolved the game's world, but the series always screamed GENERIC to me. Was the fourth any good? I tried it once and just couldn't get into it.

It's good, but painful to play!

How does that even work? Is that like masturbating even after your dick has been rubbed raw?

It has all the gameplay that I loved in BoF 1-3, but since it was a PSOne game, they HAD TO make the world polygonal, 3D and Rotatable. That would be fine, but (1)It uses the d-pad by default, (2) Your characters CAN'T walk on a diagonal (unless you set in the options to walk at a 90 degree angle; up is left, down is right) and the world is presented to you in an isometeric perspective... You can't walk on angles but everything is presented in that way! (3)You can switch the controls in the PS3 so the Analog stick takes the place of the d-pad, but when you do that in BoF4, your default movement is set to RUN...! (4)The left and right triggers to rotate the world is slow and tedious, AND the game locks out rotation sometimes!

This has nothing to do with it being on PS3. I quit the game years ago for these very same reasons. I was just in the mood to play a Super NES-esque RPG, so I'm trying to suffer through.

So today my work consisted of me and a dude in my hotel room poking each other with stimulators and me getting shirtless while he probes my back.

That is as dirty as I can make it sound. I tried just for you Leo.

"Game Informer will reveal its next cover story tomorrow morning. Magazine editor-in-chief Andy McNamara has teased it to be a “next gen game.” And no, it’s not the today-revealed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, he confirmed."

Guesses?
