Random Gaming Thoughts

So apparently Sega is adding Workshop support to their Genesis games on Steam:

Assuming this is something like letting people package up IPS files (or the equivalent) and then share them out this is probably one of the coolest ideas I've seen from the traditional console space.

That is actually pretty awesome, gives me a reason to play some on Steam rather than the 360 collection.

I like the virtual bedroom complete with CRT part of the experience.

I was watching Gamesack recently when they were talking about Genesis colour corrections, so those would be awesome!

I need advice and fast! I am finishing work in 2 hours and am meeting a person from an online buy and sell site for a trade...I am trading Albert Odyssey for either one of two options

1) for Cannon Spike (DC) and Secret of Mana (cart)

Or

2) Secret of Mana (cart), Mega Man Legends 2 (black label), Skies of Arcadia Legends and Zelda Twilight Princess (both GC)

My only concern is Cannon Spike is super rare but option two certainly has quality..what do I do!?

Go with option 2. MML2 and SoAL are worth it alone.

Well, it's not like Mega Man Legends 2 isn't rare-ish... but Cannon Spike is rare?

*goes to check eBay*

Whoa. Nice. Better hang on to my copy!

Personally, I'd go with option two as well. I don't know how much higher Cannon Spike will go, but I suspect the rest of those games might appreciate a bit. Well, except for Twilight Princess, what with the HD version out there now.

If you're looking to play them more than anything, then it's an absolute no-brainer. Option 2. Every single one of those games is worth playing.

Too many games hitting in too short a time. I'm winding down on Dark Souls III, but I want to get back into Lufia II to beat the Ancient Cave. And then Bravely Second and The Banner Saga 2 have both hit within the last seven days. I think my prioritization is going to have to be Lufia II exclusively on weekends (a full Ancient Cave will take ~7 hours, with no ability to save and quit midway through), then once Dark Souls III is done I'll knock out Banner Saga 2 first, then Bravely Second, because the first is shorter.

And don't forget, Doom in 3 weeks!

Christ.

I think I can have my current schedule cleared by then, but it'll be close.

I just let stuff slide right off my plate these days.
