well, that's already possible, Ten. Just PM a mod with the post. It's been done before. I don't think it'd happen often enough to warrant putting the work into a new feature, really, when the same thing can be done easily with something that already exists.

Posted on 07-02-05 02:44 AM, in Best Game Ending (Spoilers!) Link
I haven't seen many endings because I suck at videogames.

Well, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance definitely had an interesting twist at the end.
Spoiler:
traitorous lizardman bastard.


but that wouldn't be the best one. I suppose the 'best' one would be FFT. Left quite a few questions unanswered... and strangely, I like that. I like being forced to think about things, rather than having them explained to me. And yet, even though it didn't answer everything, it still seemed like an ending, unlike Halo 2's.

Anyway, that's all, I suppose.

Yeah, actually, I think that's pretty much the point of the show. Kinda reminds me of something I read in Game Informer, about the stereotype of gamers being a bunch of 'losers who'd give their left arm to see a naked woman.', or something to that effect.

Shadow, bets are limited to 70 coins or less.

20 on the Hammas. I usually vote Left, so I may as well continue.

Posted on 07-03-05 02:42 AM, in Worst games you've ever played? Link
Alright, careful not to get into any flamewars here, people. I should've said that long ago. Still, I'll let this thread live, so long as it doesn't turn into a bunch of people repeating the same games or a bunch of arguing. In other words, kindly shut up about Superman 64, we get the point already.


I'm going with a game that seems to do quite a few things right, yet still remains boring as hell - it's the best I can do, since I'm good at avoiding shitty games. Top Gear for the SNES.

Let's start with the good points. The graphics weren't bad, and the four different cars did perform differently enough. Track designs were varied, and that's about all.

Now for the bad. How many songs did that game have? Six. Total. Thirty-two tracks (or was it twenty-eight?) to race on, yet only six songs in the game. And only four were used in races. And turning? Hah! Some turns you can go through just driving completely straight without touching left or right, while others that aren't much sharper have you running into signposts even when you hit the brakes.

And there's one big WTF in the game that I simply must address. What the HELL is the point of the purple car? It goes through fuel faster than the blue one, and turns worse, yet doesn't go faster.

Riiight.

I'm not going to close this. For all I know, the game might actually be decent. But give people a link, damn it! And give some more details about the game, while you're at it.

Good idea in theory, bad idea when implemented.
No, I don't think he means it's bumped up. I think he means the little "NEW" picture reappears.

Which seems like a good idea, for those of us that use Mark Forum Read. Which I don't, but it still seems good...

I'm working today! YAY! Ah well, at least it's a full day of overtime pay. When I get home, I'll probably be too sore and/or pissed to do much of anything other than play what may be my final match in the Literati tournament.

Posted on 07-06-05 05:03 AM, in How many more mario games should Nintendo make Link
ENOUGH WITH THIS ASSLOAD OF THREADS!

Eh, yeah. Like my angrier half said up there.

They should make them as long as they make money off them, from a business perspective. And they'd probably have to go out of business to stop making money from Mario games.
