Why do I hate Genesis' YM music chip, but love SID & AY so much?...

I guess. Harmonies on it are a torture. In my opinion the best use of YM is in Adventure of Batman & Robin. Very creative.

Oh god, just remembered Rock 'n Roll Racing on Genesis. Horrible, horrible YM renditions of the songs. :(

I think a big part of adventure game nostalgia is the fact that was pretty much the only genre for comedy games. A lot of them were funny.

 Sun May 13 17:25:22 +0000 2012

Now you can have funny games where you blow shit up or race cars, but back in the day if you fired up a game it was serious fucking business

 Sun May 13 17:32:14 +0000 2012

And I'm 1 of those people who defines genres by gameplay, so for me adventure games ARE puzzles & environment interaction.

When I was a kid & played a lot of Sierra & Coktel Vision game it was DEFINETELY about puzzles. Loved figuring shit out.

I was out of town on vacation, but instead of going to the beach & do other stuff I've spent almost all my time playing it.

Half-Life to fps is what Another World is to platformers.

 Mon May 14 20:50:44 +0000 2012

Well, I think it's quite obvious that I love Half-Life. It replaced DOOM 2 as my favorite shooter at the time. Half-Life 2?

I've just realized that I haven't played many games made by Cryo. Commander Blood looks interesting. Especially the puppets.

 Sat May 26 12:29:47 +0000 2012

Infogrames, Coktel Vision, Adeline, Cryo... I'm on a French kick lately. #ouioui

 Sat May 26 13:13:50 +0000 2012

Early ones are really cool - Captain Blood, Dune... Very inventive. Dragon Lore seems to be what got the company into the formula.

 Sat May 26 14:13:48 +0000 2012

Another World goes without saying. I replay it every few months. Quantic Dream not so much.

 Sat May 26 16:31:27 +0000 2012

I'm saying the last few games I've played were coincidentally all done by French companies. It wasn't intentional.

 Sat May 26 17:00:45 +0000 2012

I think the only dos game by Loriciels that I've played a lot was Bumpy's Arcade Fantasy.

About to see Men in Black 3 (IMax 3D). Can't believe it's been 10 years since the crap sequel. 15 since the 1st one? Damn... #gettingold

 Sat May 26 22:26:59 +0000 2012

I see GOG's got a sale on Commandos. I'm not a fan because I never had enough patience for those games. Tried many times, but no.

 Sat May 26 22:30:41 +0000 2012

I've always dismissed The Legacy: Realm of Terror as something that tries to be a Horrorsoft game, but now it looks like it's so much more.

 Sun May 27 12:04:06 +0000 2012

I've only played it for about half hour sometime around '94. My english was non-existent then, so I doubt I got any of...

 Sun May 27 12:08:39 +0000 2012

...the story. Didn't like it. Watched some videos of it last night & now it looks interesting. But Poe? Really? How so?

 Sun May 27 12:09:30 +0000 2012

I've played the first Monkey Island with a dictionary. What an experience that was :)

 Sun May 27 12:12:38 +0000 2012

 Sun May 27 12:16:19 +0000 2012

Never seen a Russian Toonstruck, but Im sure 1 exists. It came at a time of sub-par translations, so I doubt it's done well.

 Sun May 27 12:20:08 +0000 2012

Another game I wish I played more is Sid Meier's Colonization. With countless months in put in Civ, I should have been able to spare a few.

A friend gave me his The Fly blu-ray explaining that it's too gross for him to watch. Can't argue. Certain parts gross me out as well.

Fun fact: Cronenberg's The Fly is a Mel Brooks production.

Men in Black 3 actually manages to be a decent sequel. Crap jokes & story are outweighed by Josh Brolin's performance & tender moments.

@AveTory Granted, Blood 2 is a horrible game anyway, but I'm sure there are people out there who would like to check it out.

 Thu May 31 14:07:46 +0000 2012

I'll save you some time - everything.

Nightmare Levels is a bit of a step up, but not by much. #blood2blows

Carmageddon kickstarter is weird for me. 1) I probably won't be able to run the game 2) I hope they can get the original actors to reprise..

 Thu May 31 16:19:03 +0000 2012

.. their roles as Max & Anna, but I know I'm gonna shut that feature off in minutes. 3) The only Carmageddon I play is the 1st one, so...

 Thu May 31 16:20:28 +0000 2012

.. I don't even need a new game. Hmmm... Idk, I thought I really loved the franchise, but in reality it's only the first game. Weird.

Carmageddon is awesome because I think it's one of the most therapeutic games ever. It's FUN to play. Remember when games were FUN? Yeah.

Somehow that weird physics made perfect sense & felt natural. Oh how satisfying it was to run over more than 5 peds at once! #carmageddon

Yeah, resources pretty much lay around in the open. That too, what a load of shit that was. My friend had that version of C2

 Thu May 31 16:25:35 +0000 2012

I'm sure I'm gonna have a hard time coming up with a review for Carmageddon because I'm not exactly sure what makes it so enjoyable.

 Thu May 31 16:29:54 +0000 2012

I'll probably just say "all elements come together perfectly" and repeat the word "various" way too many time like I always do #shittywriter

 Thu May 31 16:29:55 +0000 2012

You can play German version by just running it with a parameter. And there were patches available for every version of C2.

 Thu May 31 16:32:41 +0000 2012

Damn, any more? That's going straight into my reviews...

 Thu May 31 16:34:12 +0000 2012

There was a Shadow Warrior thing???

 Thu May 31 16:34:15 +0000 2012

Oh yeah, you guys got the Hero Turtles too, right. British board is silly...

@richardcobbett Thank god for post-Soviet environment with no ratings/classifications of any sort. Nobody really gave a shit.

 Thu May 31 16:40:30 +0000 2012

Are movies still getting banned/cut over there? Or it's also not an issue anymore?

 Thu May 31 16:43:14 +0000 2012

That's hardly porn

"Klout believes you are influential about Humor." Well, that's a first!

"Klout believes you are influential about Magic." I AM magic.

My weird ones include Speakers, Quicktime and Disease. Although it appears that it can't get any info from facebook.

Wasted an hour and a half of my life watching Birdemic with my best friend. We both regret it now.
