I'm sorry to bug you about it, because I know you've been asked before, but it was a long time ago, in an unrelated topic, and I simply don't remember the answer, so here it is.

Who exactly is lisa?
Oh yeah, good question. :)

I get most of my info from indiegames.com/blog and TIGSource.com. Both great sites for indie games. I also read Kotaku pretty religiously, which is a wealth of all kinds of videogame info (to the point of absurdity at times).

When I'm really in the mood to find something unique, I also occassionally do google searches for "best free games", "best indie games", etc.

what's not to like about Darkstalkers though? You know why Capcom Vs is so awesome? Cuz it's got SFII and Darkstalkers together. PFft. It's cuz Flake's afraid of movie monsters.

@ Emwearz - how hard is it being a gamer in Aussie land?
Pretty hard. It use to be a lot worse, we use to get things months and sometimes years late and pay out the ass for it. But there are still massive issues with out game pricing today.

We pay at a retail store $80-$120 for a new release console game while in the states it seems closer to $40-$60 and our dollar is currently stronger than the US dollar.

It is not just in stores but even digital, which I see NO EXCUSE for. Steam for example:

Dragon Age: Origins | USA = $69.99 | AUS = $ 29.99
Sonic Adventure DX | USA = $ 8.99 |AUS = $ 19.99
Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 | USA = $ 19.99 | AUS = $ 39.99
And the list goes on and on.

How can they charge more, for the same content, when dealt digitally!

And retro sucks because of how many games were not released on PAL.

I imagine the ratings board situation must be pretty frustrating too.

The nonsense going on right now with Mortal Kombat is ridiculous.

Should I just be asking any forum member a question, or maybe the person above me in this thread? Asking the guy above might be the easiest.

So, Mr. CFFJR, who I haven't run into much on this site yet, I take it you are a Ranma 1/2 fan? How did you get into that anime?


For the record, if anyone feels like asking me why I can be such a prick (do I ever come across like that?), I'm cool with it. :mrgreen:
