Gaming thread

FINALLY finished the last goddamn level!! Taught me a lesson: don't be afraid of making some sacrifices that look dear, don't be afraid of making a mess if it at least brings you to victory.

Virtual bart looks cool. Might get a copy.

<EDIT>

Some guy completed it with no deaths.

I've been playing a ton of Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar. I got the game a few months ago but I never really played it much until now

Got a motherload here of stuff I have been into since the last weeks of January:

Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!

Dug up my old GBC cart and loaded it up the Gameboy Player again after finding the disc. I used to be really into Hamtaro as a wee lad back in 2002-2003 and while obviously the show has not held up very well for me being in my mid 20's, the game has. I have always liked the design of these hamsters and am not ashamed to say they are freaking adorable, and the game itself is that. It's just too dang adorable and charming for me to say it is just another silly kid's licensed title that I grew out of. If anything it plays like a fun adventure title and being able to explore the world as a hamster is a lot of fun, being a sucker for seeing things from a miniaturized perspective.

Grand Theft Auto III

Been messing with this game again thanks to testing out a Creative EAX card with it, using a fix pack to make it more in line with the PS2 version with the PC port, and also a few other things to make it a bit more beta like (Like using very well done recreations of the NYPD like police cars and the changed plane flight path). Still is a lot of fun even if there are games that improved on its formula, even the ones in the same series. It just has this simple and raw feel to it that still makes it stand the test of time IMHO, also with it being rather open with how you do things makes it still fun, you are not always restricted to one path with missions and can go all sorts of crazy to accomplish your goal.

Fable: The Lost Chapters

It may have been a disappointment back in the day after Peter Molyneux hyped it to high heaven but on its own I still say it is a fun action RPG and even replaying it years later it is still a charming little number. Been playing the Xbox version since it gives me an excuse to wield the almighty Duke controller again and even at its low resolution on a CRT it still looks rather nice thanks to its art design. It definitely has that story book, FABLE like art style and it just oozes with a great atmosphere to explore its world with. Gameplay of course still holds up since it doesn't really do anything that different from the action hack and slash games of today, just a bit clunkier thanks to some aspects of the lock on system. It's simple and fun, and I can't say it suffered for not being the grand game ol' Pete hyped it up to be.

Mega Man 2.5D

Still have yet to beat a stage proper on this since I suck hard with Mega Man but damn is this an impressive fan game. Its the Mega Man we all know and love, but in a 2.5D perspective and dang is it cool to look at. It's free so get it before Capcom decides to take it down.

I'm playing Disney Princess: Magical Jewels for some strange inexplicable reason


I'm also planning on buying all the King's Quest games besides KQ 2015, so that'll be fun.
