Random Gaming Thoughts

I keep telling my wife to do it and she refuses. It's driving me mad.

This is reminding me of a hilarious gym teacher I had in elementary school who used to say to us, "The only two things you should ever stick in your mouth are your fork and your elbow!"

Cue an entire room of kids trying to put their elbows in their mouths.

I bet your wife never tried that one, either. Isn't she a scientist? Tell her to do the Pac-Man thing for science.

Also, true story, when this same teacher had us run laps around the gym every so often he used to yell out motivational stuff to us like, "This is more fun than PLAYING NINTENDO!" and we'd all laugh and scream "NOOOOO!" as loud as we could.

Ancient DOS Games is one I follow. He doesn't manage to get through every game but does his best and puts in gameplay videos of everything. Where it makes sense he goes deeper into mechanics or showing off things, like all the mechs from Earthsiege (with various cockpit differences).

Well, I just found a new Youtube channel to subscribe to... Thanks!

"This is more fun than PLAYING NINTENDO!"

Nintendo. A word that would transcend generations in the 80s.

Stealth games

Oh man, i missed on a great topic still ill give some of my thoughts.

You say your PC can't run anything? Can i have the specs? Because Thief is so freaking old that you could run it on your phone, and the game is SO GOOD.

If you want to try the MGS series i suggest going for the 3rd one, snake eater, since its a prequel the story stands on it's own and you will understand 90% of the stuff that happens on there, also it's the best one. You can get the MGS HD collection that also includes a few more games on the series.


Usually when i think stealth games i think of caution and some waiting in order to aproach your objective the best way posible. I think you should just ignore the score of the hitman games if you're feeling that they're not telling you what are you doing wrong in order to get a good score.

I enjoyed Thief in its day. Just stay away from the new one. Better yet just make believe it doesn't exist.

Deus Ex: HR is a wonderful game but it suffered from a bit of "Dead Space Syndrome": silenced the pistol early on and used that throughout the game but Most of the boss fights, of which I used the revolver with explosive rounds. Still enjoyed it and now going through my 3th play through on the Wii U.

Now Dishonored. That is a fantastic stealth game!

I enjoy games that reward stealth, rather than ones that punish you for failing to stealth or out and out require full stealth.

Does anybody here still partake in Mass Effect multiplayer on XBox 360? My husband and I are kicking around the idea of getting a second 360 on the cheap so that we can actually play together in campaigns. Just curious if any Racketboys are still out there too.

Does anyone have a list of which Cave shmups were released on 360 in which region, and which are region free?

shmups forum does, check out a thread called "NTSC-J 360 Owner's Guide" or something to that effect.

In preparation for Legacy of the Void coming out in a week and a half I've been playing through the campaigns for the other two SCII entries again and hunting the various achievements. I got everything in Wings of Liberty except the Lost Viking ones and the Brutal 25 (because the thing is bugged and you need to do a campaign from start to finish on Brutal without changing the difficulty; I already beat everything on Brutal in the archives and got my Kerrigan avatar). I'm on track to finish up Legacy of the Void tomorrow aside from the Brutal run and the various Hard mastery challenges. A lot of those require some very exact execution from start to finish, which demotivates me some.
