I loved Game Player's Magazine for it's 100+ pages and it's witty writing style. They switched to Ultra Game Players in 96 or 97 and then folded sometime in 98. Even though I stopped reading the mag shortly before the conversion I was still saddened when I heard they went kaput.

I made a D&D character last night. I feel like an ass

Fourth Edition handbooks got leaked, also, and I think it would be hilarious if we got together in IRC and played a campaign or two.

I'm DMing a Ravenloft campaign right now!

But we already have a group.

I'd never ever play this IRL because I'm the kind of person who has to have roleplaying in his tabletop RPGs, and it takes a really special kind of friend to watch someone pretend to DRIFT TO AND FRO TWIXT THE FEYWILDS and then still want to be friends afterwords. Strangers on the internet are fine, though.

We play a cyberpunk GURPS campaign on Sundays. I'm a gay former teen pop star with a robot dog.

So I received 6 Sega CD games in the mail today from ebay and I am pleasantly surprised to find out that I now own a factory sealed copy of "INXS Make Your Own Video" (which wasn't mentioned in the auction).

Seriously though, I could care less...it's Make Your Own Video for fuck's sake.

Games improve hand to eye co-ordination. Did you know that a survey on surgeons found that they did a better job after warming up with a session on a video game?

Old study, but yea. Another one is that driving games help drivers, since it teaches them to watch their surroundings and not the back of the car in front of them. I guess that explains why I've never had an accident yet.

Guitar Woman · #**514**

His face is a question mark. I'm never going to be able to play this game the same way again.

bigtimecow · #**515**

i love earthbound, but mother sucks. so fuck ninten

Guitar Woman · #**516**

I thought it was pretty good, especially considering the hardware limitations.

How they managed to make a NES game that creepy and multi-layered I'll probably never know.

10,000 Volt Ghost · #**517**

Still think they should have made Mother 64( 3-d sequel for N64).

Guitar Woman · #**518**

Mother 64 was just going to be Mother 3, anyway.

I'm actually glad it's had more time to cook, it looks fantastic.

bigtimecow · #**519**

i played a good hour of the japanese rom with a translation guide and it's quite fun. the music element of the combat system is well executed and accurate.

oh, and i found out that there is a visual boy advance edition for the wii... so mother 3 can be played on your wii...

oh

my

god

Lobo Tommy · #**520**

Mother 3 will never be the same as Earthbound in my eyes. Earthbound is my favorite game ever.

dddddddddd · #**521**

i think its funny how people call this earthbound 3 when the nes and snes games where basically re makes of one another

bigtimecow · #**522**

i'll assume you only said that to piss someone off, because they are not even close when it comes to storyline

Must...resist urge...to correct typos...

Whether or not the second game is a remake is up for debate, though I'm fairly certain anyone who claims Mother 2 is a remake never played the original and is just talking out of their ass.

I'll make you a deal though: you convince either Rockstar or EA to fix the numbering of GTA or The Sims, and I'll convince Nintendo to change Mother's numbering. I think that's a fair trade.
