I am on a mission to defeat Zelda 2 without game overing.
I have been on this mission for days and I have never reached halfway.

I had a flash drive with Typing of the Dead on it that I would play in class in high school when I was done my animation stuff.
Typing games technically count as educational.

Mofudder I am in the fifth temple with +1 life (Picked up 2 extra lives, and have only lost 1, being cheapshotted into Lava in the 4th).
I am actually dreading picking up the controller, I'm afraid that I might have lost my groove since last night. Goddarn EMPLOYMENT why you gotta cut into video game time
EDIT: FEARS CONFIRMED
My greatest nemesis (BLUE KNIGHT WHO THROWS KNIVES) took two of my lives.

I'm pretty sure 90% of my deaths when playing Zelda II were caused by either Boomerang Dogman or some variety of knight.
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Mehgamehn - 02-28-2012
Those boomerang guys are easy now that I've faced them 500 times
Also the Axe Dogs in Death Mountain
In fact every enemy in the game (Barring Valley of Death enemies) have become easier than (SOME PERSON YOU HOLD DEAR) aside from those goddamn blue knights.
I am a little discouraged from continuing on this quest after beating all six temples before dying three steps from town as I tried to heal before Valley of Death. Honestly, I didn't really stand a chance of getting through the end-game with just one life, but it was still a tough pill to swallow.
But damn it I am doing this >:c
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - btp - 02-28-2012
You should take a little picture of every time you die so you can have a nice scrapbook to remember it all!
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Mehgamehn - 02-28-2012
I remember every death on that last run.
Two blue knights, two cheapshots into lava, one mistimed jump into lava, and then a mixture of various monsters hitting me until PLOP I'M DEAD

NOTE: That red-eye is 100% real. This game possessed my soul. Also why don't I ever shave before putting up a picture of myself on the interwebs.
THIS IS FOR THOSE NOT IN THE KNOW: The Triforce means I won, the three zeros means I have no Game Overs.

Congrats Megh!
In other news, the large amount of Vidya Things I ordered have arrived~
Mole Mania, Donkey Kong, Link's Awakening DX (Game Boy or Game Boy Color Games) and a fourth Nintendo 64 Controller! (too bad I need to get a new battery for Donkey Kong :c )
Soon my dreams of a 4-Player Wario Party is within reach.

There is no such game.
Unless you mean a mario game where the object is to fuck over your friends. I played that.
I think he's referring to playing Mario Party with rule explanations off, so you have to figure out what the hell to do without the game telling you.
Pausing to see the controls is cheating.

Sweet collections guys, i'm a bit jealous.
I used to have a somewhat decent collection during the gamecube gen (mostly gb/gba/gamecube games) but i sold it/lost it all during my rebellious teenager phase. All what's left of my snes is the console itself :(
I should really
get a job
(and buy games)
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Mehgamehn - 03-10-2012
I have a job and haven't bought a game since Mario Galaxy 2
I am an unabashed retro-gamer
One day I will have all the monies and then maybe I'll change my ways
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - AgentBlue - 03-10-2012
Iiii
have an old Game Boy Color and a Tetris cartridge
this is the bulk of my collection
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Ixcaliber - 03-10-2012
I could have sworn I did own We <3 Katamari. I know for a fact that Me & My Katamari was not the first Katamari game I had, but it does not appear to be a thing I own any more? I don't know.

I'm slightly curious at what the non-PAL spines look like now. (google search gogogo)
So it seems the NTSC spines have nice art'd up writing while PAL just has the bog standard black writing on white square. How interesting.
Course when I think of PAL/NTSC ugliness I immediately think of ICO.
The PAL one:

RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Ixcaliber - 03-10-2012
I now have a Mass Effect 3.
It has no manual. This bothers me somewhat even though I never really look at manuals. I just guess I think it's a nice thing to have. There's a really generic pamphlet which apparently might contain information about features this game doesn't have and some cards with online codes but that is it. I've a friend who has just bought Reckoning: Kingdoms of Amalur (or something) and that didn't have a manual? Is this is the new standard.
Also reversible box art what the actual fuck? It's bad enough that some guy I've never seen in the game is all over the cover, the reversibleness just makes the inside look like a mess.
Wasn't until after I posted I noticed it was reversible so you could replace generic male Shepard with generic female Shepard. Fuck that. My femshep looks nothing like this bitch and the inside of the box would still look ugly as fuck no matter which way around you had it.

RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Mehgamehn - 03-10-2012
Packaging is nice and pretty and there will always be a few companies that will use that as part of the appeal, but we are going to approach an age where everything will be digital and I think that is perfectly fine.
Manuals have never really been needed, and it make sense for them to die out in print form. We'll likely see them pop up in digital form when video gaming as a whole grows past the "TUTORIAL TUTORIAL TUTORIAL" phase. And I do believe that its a phase, people are going to realize that nobody needed instruction before because Trial-and-Error has been around since babies.
Also its possible my dislike for packaging stems from the fact that I trap myself in the "PATH OF PLAYED" maze. Why is Luigi's Mansion in Wind Waker casing, Wait wind waker is in Smash Bros, where's Smash Bros.

Have you?
During the Super Mario Galaxy 2 tutorial, my aunt actually managed to jump over the giant crystal you're supposed to spin to destroy to progress
She had trouble with the rest of the game for a little while
RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accesories. - Ixcaliber - 03-10-2012
I dislike buying things digitally. I think part of it is probably paranoia (what if I uninstall it from my computer and then the business goes bust or for some reason beyond my control decides to refuse me access to my game etcetera?), part of it is owning a nice product.
Manuals can admittedly be pretty redundant, repacking the information you can get easily in game and things you can work out on your own, I still feel that a nice manual adds to a game and is part of the product.

Are you afraid that every version of something that would be of historical importance would vanish without somebody making a physical copy?
