I just found out that bluetooth on my mac book pro lets me sync the classic controller. lufia 2 is one of the most slept on snes games. its like the dungeons of zelda with the combat of FF4. awesome graphics when you beat the game. much like FF4 or tales of phantasia.

Action RPG or whatever else is good too.

I also want to buy Monster Hunter but I'm hesitant because a lot of the content was in the now-dead online mode...


xenogears and alundra + whats already been mentioned



Has inspired me to finally get a PSX emulator running on our iMac. I played a little Xenogears and Tomba today... and used the Classic Controller of course.

Just replay Legend of Dragoon.
It'll probably take a good 70 hours.
That game was awesome.


I remember getting a demo for LoD in a playstation magazine or something and it was, like, the entire first disc of the game.
That jank took forever.


Haha, I remember that. Me and a friend wasted countless post-school afternoons on a demo of Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX. You got a whole 2 minutes of glorious BMX action until you had to exit the game and restart!

Fix'd ;)

Also, the part that comes just before that quote is funny, too..something about "but what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion?..oh, wait..it's a she.."

Dude I played the new DS in Target the other day and it fucking hurt my eyes.. I tried looking at it from all kinds of different angles and stuff but it felt like I was looking at the image from like 5 different perspectives at once. And the perspectives didn't blend together.

I just looked like a total idiot standing there with one eye open (that made it not hurt so bad) flying some stupid plane on a demo.

What was I doing wrong?

By the way who else is totally pissed that the playstation network doesn't work? I want to tomahawk some bitches on COD.

I think there's a little focusey adjustor knob on the side somewhere, that should help with pains.

TWO BLOODY GREAT HANDFULS

Killing Floor is a great game, but the last time I played it was a few months ago when they FINALLY updated the Firebug. I had always been using that class in anticipation of it getting something more than just the flamethrower, but by the time it came around I was burnt out.

What a horrible pun.

Anyway, the feeling of taking out like five zombies with a crossbow shot is nice.
