I loved the C64 and the Spectrum equally. The kid over the road had an Amstrad 464. What a wanker.
Indeed. I was looking over an old Amiga Power magazine the other day and the costs for an Amiga 1200 back then was pretty mental - over £700 with a few games.
The Wii U was the first Nintendo system I didn't buy since the NES. Obviously I'm getting older and have "responsibilities" now, and I barely play the PS4 outside of FIFA Pro Clubs (but I will be buying Uncharted 4). It'll need something majestic to get me investing again.
The Dreamcast was a superb machine and still holds up today. I maintain that the Shenmue games were two of the best ever made on any format. Around the time of the Mega Drive, SEGA was definitely seen as the cooler option, but I stuck with my beloved Nintendo throughout. I tended to buy old consoles off my mates with a shitload of games as soon as the newer one came out, so I got a Saturn with about 20 games in 1998/9 for about 30 quid and had a field day. Once a retro gamer, always a retro gamer.
SNES is still my favourite machine ever, followed by the PSX. But I imagine everyone's favourite consoles are the ones they had between the ages of probably 8-16 regardless of whether they were critically acclaimed or not.
I was just thinking I've probably played Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and Donkey Kong Country more than any other game.
I am a fan of Meg Turney.
i have one still. crazy taxi was amazing when you first saw it. you could have 6 men in the ring or something in the WWE game, it was jaw dropping, for me, at the time
i remember a few years back there were stats on what operating system (or something) people viewed rajah on, and there was like a 0.0018% that used a dreamcast. kudos to whoever that was
I remember the older brother of my buddy George used to play Madden online all the time on Dreamcast. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Dreamcast the first home console that could do that or were you able to do it on PS1?
I used to play Crazy Taxi for hours at my friends house. I still get those Bad Religion and Offspring songs stuck in my head to this day.
It was actually 9 men in the ring. Even today we're restricted to no more than 6, which shows how mental it was back then.
From these we can see Middle-earth: Shadow of War is slated for PS4 and Xbox One on August 22, was once again developed by Monolith, and will see the return of the Nemesis system. This time, our heroes will “confront the full power of the Dark Lord Sauron and his ringwraiths”, apparently. Players will “forge a new Ring of Power and dominate Mordor” with their own orc armies.
There’s a $99 Gold Edition of Middle-earth: Shadow of War which comes with four expansions and a gold war chest. There are two Nemesis expansions called Slaughter Tribe and Outlaw Tribe, which add “a new Orc tribe featuring new enemies, followers, missions, abilities, weapons, Fortress and wilderness updates and a Mythic Gear Set”.
The other two expansions are called Blade of Galadriel and The Desolation of Mordor. These are new story campaigns for Middle-earth: Shadow of War, with additional playable characters, abilities, side missions, enemies and allies.

The cover to the Gold edition is pretty interesting, i see Sauron in the middle with Gollum and the Balrog on the left side. On the right side there's a cave troll and a dragon. No idea who the girl on the left and the black guy on the right are. Girl looks like she'd be either an elf or a ranger though. The tower on the left looks like Barad-Dür for sure, no idea what the one on the right could be. Angmar? Dol-Guldur? Gundabad? Minas-Morgul? No idea.
Very pleased to see this. Did not expect much from Shadow of Mordor and it turned out to be absolutely brilliant.
I've had SoM for quite a while but haven't gotten around to play it yet. It looks really good but also very monotonous, orcs, orcs, orcs and then some more orcs. Seems like the entire game takes place exclusively in Mordor as well. Not saying the game is monotonous, just that it kind of looks that way. Will definitely have a go at it when I get the time though. Need to play through it before Shadow of War at least, seems like that will be released this August.
Yeah same here, I've had it in my backlog for a while and this might push it to the front of the queue. Just finishing off Fall of Cybertron for the fifth time first.
It's far from canon and some would probably hate it, but if you're going to make interesting games you really have to stretch the limits of canon here and there as long as it isn't something that's completely not plausible. I kind of like the sound of Celebrimbor trying to forge another ring to combat Sauron and the One ring, if anyone could, it would be Celebrimbor right?
"Blade of Galadriel" sounds interesting as well.
I'm kind of confused on the timeline of this game, I've read that Shadow of Mordor takes place between The Hobbit and LOTR (so, some time between T.A 2941 and T.A 3001-3019) but in the SoW trailer (which I assume takes place after SoM) we see Sauron in physical form, which he never regained after The Last Alliance in S.A 3441, and also Minas Ithil being sacked (and turned into Minas Morgul), which happened in T.A 2002 (roughly 1000 years before Hobbit/LOTR). I guess it could all be flashbacks and stuff, maybe playing the first game would explain some of it.
Didn't know where this should go.
Anyone play through That Dragon, Cancer?
Won the games for impact award and it is really quite an experience. It's a point and click type game for the most part following the main developer with his family and their struggle for their youngest son and his battle with cancer.
Really opens your eyes and is a tough story, but one that was beautifully told. It's an emotional story, but it is a story that definitely needed to be told.
Anybody keeping abreast of JonTron's self destruction?
go on
From what I've read, he's jumped aboard the "white genocide is real" train.
He is a fucking mess.

Oh man. I cannot WAIT to not be able to afford this after low supplies raise the price to $600 on amazon and ebay.
Already own a SNES, and have access to SNES games via emulation on 10 different other consoles and handhelds, but this is still something I'll have to buy. Hands down my favourite console of all time.
I wouldn't even have to consider the games list. There's just so much depth in the library. Mario World, Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Megaman X, Contra 3, Donkey Kong Country's, Final Fantasy's, Zelda LttP, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Street Fighter 2, Final Fight, Super PunchOut.
FF9 Out for PS4 now
Shenmue 1&2 being rereleased on PS4 & Xbox. Time to wank.
Yeah, I'm gonna be getting that. Especially since it's only gonna be $30 in the US for both. Never got the chance to play Shenmue 2, and I lost my copy of Shenmue 1 along with my Dreamcast that was stolen. So I'm fucking pumped.
I was finally able to get my hands on the new Spider-Man game. Incredible. Takes me back to the PS2 version of Spider-Man 2 mixed in with some Infamous. Just a great game. He's always been an easy game to put together, the guy crosses over so many different times that every villain imaginable is part of his story as well.
Still not better than Punisher for X-Box
Captain America looking a tad bloated
That time on ice did a number to him
My favourite thing I’ve seen mocking that picture is the image from Spaceballs where they say “You fools. You captured their stunt doubles.
Batista's gonna voice a character in Gears 5.
Does anyone know any good nfl, nba, or mlb simulators?
I wonder how big his video game dick is.Batista's gonna voice a character in Gears 5.
Has anyone tried The Outer Worlds yet? Fucking incredible game.
Loved it. I like the amount of choice you have in the game. You could realistically kill anyone and the objective will change rather than someone being immortal.
Love it. Looooooooove it.
It's not the the kind of game to drag me in and hold me there while I complete it to within an inch of its life. It's a slow burn, put down and pick back up after a week, engross yourself brilliance.
It is, I'd say, a touch easy on normal. But it's flipping brilliant.
I completed a run through over the weekend, it's very good although I'm not feeling super motivated to try another run right away which I thought I would. It felt weirdly linear - there's usually not much reason to go back to planets (or at least specific areas) you've already been to once you leave. Like you do the initial quests to get out of Edgewater and then it basically played no part in anything further for me.
As a Firefly fan I was constantly delighted by the many, many references to it and I will definitely run through again at some point - I never got more than 4 crewmates so apparently there's at least two potential companions I didn't even encounter.
As I think a lot of people probably do, I basically played my first game 'straight', that is I made decisions based on what I genuinely thought the best option was. This had one particularly negative and unexpected outcome, when
Next time I'll play as an ultra mercenary, proper selfish prick. Should be fun.
