Re: Games Beaten : 2011

I used to do similar things in Microsoft Flight Simulator 98. I'd take off in a small propeller plane in NYC (I chose a propeller plane because they broke up into pieces when they crash), and I'd head straight for the World Trade Centers. Yeah, I know... I used to build one square walls around my S...

Re: Games Beaten : 2011

Wow, you guys. This year has probably been the year when I beat the least amount of games in my entire life. Your lists make me feel unaccomplished. -Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi (1CC) on MAME. -ESPgaluda (1CC) on PS2. -Harmful Park (1CC) normal mode, on PS1. -Heart of Darkness on PS1. -Night Warrior...

There are a couple of pictures here that give you a rough idea what it's like. Mostly pre- grand opening shots, though.

Overall, it's smaller than the Austin branch, but the set up feels very similar.

Re: Houston TX Racketboy Game Night

Just got back from there and the Greek Festival. I gotta say, the place is pretty impressive. About a third if not more of the Austin location's stock was transferred over here, which is great. Soundtracks line the wall, there's a big CRT in the back, and the selection of games is excellent for basi...

Re: Houston TX Racketboy Game Night

Actually, I am completely free on Saturday the 22nd. I guess we'll see what happens.

Re: Houston TX Racketboy Game Night

So, what is the status on this?

And I must bring this to your attention. GAME OVER Video Games has opened a Houston location today. I am not making this up. Super excited. Unfortunately, I have to wait until tomorrow to visit. :(

Maybe we can set up a game night there?

Re: Backseat Gamers

I had a friend who would do that, who would laugh whenever I died and repeatedly say I suck when I couldn't make it to stage 4 in Do Donpachi Dai Ou Jou without dying once. I guess it made him feel better about his own shortcomings to slander someone who has spent a lot of time with the game. I'm no...

Re: Is Ninja Gaiden cheap or just unforgiving?

It's not cheap at all. It is tough as nails, though. That's the whole point. Could you even imagine how much worse the game would be had it been childishly easy? All of those sword techniques would be less cool, and ninpo would lose it's desperation and meaning. That game forces you to think, plan, ...

Re: Is the Sega Saturn overrated?

If you like shmups and maybe fighting games, I would think it isn't overrated. The fighting games are pretty outdated but some of them are still great. I agree. The only individual Saturn games I think get a bit too much praise are the 2D games like Treasure's Silhouette Mirage, Princess Crown, Cro...

Re: Space Phallus

My favorite part is stage 2, when those cocks appear in the clouds like fighter planes and try to kill you by discharging their ejaculatory fluids at you. I was literally Rolling On the Floor Laughing. Hey, that's a new way developers can cause players to die: Humor!
