Looking at the release dates in order, my best guess is Gun: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/929181-gun

I usually can't resist going for the Gobi scout rifle. I really need to try something different. What's better between Melee and Unarmed?

Nah. It was on at 3am here. :(

Was Fury "robbed" or are people just talking crap?

Morrowind is pretty good with this.

It has a fantastic physical map too:

Do you think it'll pass?

It doesn't seem likely. We have a "minority government" (the Tories) that relies on DUP votes for their (slim) majority. The DUP are against the deal and will certainly vote it down, which just about wipes out the government's majority. To make matters worse, there are various Tories that will vote against the deal, so they have to rely on other parties (particularly Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dems) to get it through. The official stance of Labour and the SNP is opposition to the deal (not sure about the Lib Dems).

However, the big complication is that a number of Labour MPs are expected to rebel and vote with the government. The SNP are fairly united, so I don't expect any of their MPs to rebel.

So really, it's all about rebellions, i.e. how many Tories rebel and vote against the government and how many Labour MPs rebel and vote with the government. There could be a significant number on both sides, but the arithmetic is looking difficult for the government regardless.

It has its advantages and disadvantages, but on balance I figured it'd be a net loss, so I voted Remain. At the moment the choices are between a Hard Brexit (which will certainly harm the economy) and a pointless Brexit (where we're still tied into EU rules with no say over them, but damage the economy less). Or no Brexit... May's deal falls into the second category.

Article 13 is clearly bad, although Westminster aren't any better on technological issues.

Has the exit plan failed to pass in the parliament?

The vote's on the 11th of next month.

BoJo is a complete buffoon. It'd be funny if he had no influence over people's lives. We can only hope he never gets the top job, but with the way things are going, it's only a matter of time...

Still, they say laughter is the best medicine, so I may as well join in. A few other belters:





He's the Prince Philip of politics.

It wasn't even on my radar tbqh. D2 is all I need.

Still my favorite GTA game. Obviously V is better technically (gunplay, graphics, physics, AI), but I maintain that SA has its own pluses.

I think it's much better at rewarding the player, with more areas, features and so on regularly becoming available. There's a real sense of progression, from unlocking something as basic as Emmet's guns early on to owning businesses/assets later on. In V, many of the "rewards" are a slap in the face, and the businesses themselves are disappointing compared to SA's. The casino is particularly good in SA (and many of its missions are optional).

Upgrading weapon and vehicle skills isn't for everyone, but again it feeds into the sense of progression. I actually enjoy the vehicle schools, although I can see why they annoy some.

And the missions... There are some amazing ones in there that haven't been topped. Even the shorter missions are fairly memorable for me.

I love (and sometimes hate) characters like Smoke, Toreno, Woozie, The Truth and Tenpenny.

The game definitely has its flaws, but it still has so much going for it.

The one thing I didn't like about San Andreas, were those RC missions.

Same. Thankfully they're optional.

Geodude and Mareep in Gold (Bellsprout rings a bell too). Salandit in Moon (I created a chain in an SOS battle, but not specifically for a shiny).

if TC is going to do this he should name names.

Keilah Kang I think.

I played a lot of Duke Nukem 3D as a kid

Same. It was the Atomic Edition. I probably played it 2-3 years after release when I would have been 9 or 10.

I played Mortal Kombat on the Mega Drive before that (aged 7 or 8 I guess). Not sure if it had a rating at that point.

Being in the UK complicates things slightly. We have BBFC and PEGI ratings.

I actually first played it properly on the GameCube (as I had a PS1 in gen 5). Still loved it though.

What about a female "mens' rights activist"?

do you have a single fact to back that up

You've got ten seconds to beat it before I add you to the list of NSF casualties.

The original Deus Ex. Well, more the last third, but seeing as that's part of the second half, it probably still applies. The game basically becomes a lot more linear and actiony later on (going against the typical Deus Ex formula of choice, exploration, dialogue, etc.). It's fairly obvious that development for that stage of the game was rushed. Much more was planned, like White House and moon areas.

Despite that, it's still my favorite game.

Hey luigi, remember how much fun The Orange Box was, when it came out?

Yeah, it was great. It was my first exposure to HL2 as I didn't have an Xbox or gaming PC when it came out on those initially. Portal was cool, but HL2 was definitely the main event. Unfortunately I didn't manage to beat Episode 2, as my 360 starting giving disc read errors towards the end.

Mega Man Anniversary Collection (GCN)
The Orange Box (360)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)
Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection (PS3)
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3)
Sly Trilogy (PS3)

There are probably others I've forgotten.

* Removed a couple since they were just packs containing multiple separate games.

7.5/10

Super Robot Wars OGs - The Gate of Magus

ORAS if you haven't played RSE (otherwise XY). I really like the DexNav. I hope gen 8 takes some inspiration from it.

The good thing about XY is the Pokemon selection. There are three different sections to the Pokedex with like 400+ available in total just between those two games.

Post-game, neither are great. ORAS have the Delta Episode, which is decent. The equivalent in XY are the Looker missions. I prefer the former. Both obviously have their share of Legendaries to catch. Soaring in ORAS is cool, but not that useful really.

The first (loo-ee). My dad's called Louis, pronounced that way.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee for me.

Ah, of course. Love those games. Exoddus is particularly good.

Grand Theft Auto (1). The early GTAs have a dedicated fart/burp button.

Can't you do shit like this in the Postal games too?

I'd never write them off completely without having some idea about their libraries. I generally wait until at least a few years into the gen before deciding (and even then I'll still keep my options open). If there are enough games not available on PC that I want, then I may still buy one. That said, I feel that the number of games in that category is dropping each gen. It's mostly Nintendo games and a few other Japanese games.

UK:

Her Majesty's Robot (HMR) Botty McBotface

or

HMR Maybot

or

Sir Killalot

Conservapedia is biased? Surely not. :P

But yeah, those definitions are a right hoot.

PC gaming was around before console gaming (and other forms of video gaming) and will likely be around after.

Also, Diablo II.

Really though, as long as the PC has games worth playing, PC gaming is not a meme. The same goes for all game platforms.

So basically if someone I don't like likes something you like, you're someone I don't like?

No. I was just saying why I think that some of those people comment on his videos. Not that he's to blame or as bad as them. I was defending Yong if anything. As I said, I like him and watch his vids myself.

I like Yong and am subscribed to his channel, but the comments on his videos are often toxic I have to admit (not all of them, but certainly a few). They attract some of the anti-SJW, GamerGate types.

I don't think it's that Yong deliberately tries to court them or anything; it's just that he's critical of developers and game journalists at times, which the GGers line up on (the difference being that Yong's fairly constructive rather than ideologically opposed). As far as I'm concerned, that's all they really have in common. Yong seems like a decent guy to me. Maybe his video comments could use some moderation, that's all I'll say.

Pokemon HG/SS - Viridian Forest

The honest answer is "don't know" to both questions.

I was tested by a behavioral psychologist when I was young (since I was disruptive in school, although I eventually settled down), but I don't know if it was a proper IQ test, and if it was, I was never told the results (as I was only 7 or 8). She did say something about not being challenged in class, but who knows if that was the reason? I was probably just a little shit lol.

Tough choice for me actually... I'll go with FFVII, because it's a meatier game I think. I also probably prefer RPGs.

UnfairRepresent posted...

But if you're judging it as a 3D game?

The "3D" in FFVII was AWFUL.

Pretty much. It's basically pre-rendered 2D backgrounds overlaid with 3D models. The former actually look OK (because they're pre-rendered). It's the polygons that suck.

buying too many video games

That'll go down well here.

topic title isnt even the silly part of the quote

Yep, the part about Finland is. I wonder why they don't have a problem with forest fires there...

Just a little.

Also, it's one of the best regular battle themes.

That's not really a surprise from iGenesis/INTERWEBUSER. Hating Nintendo is their gimmick.

It got a passing mention for me in school (in Scotland), but not anything more from what I remember. I imagine it's similar south of the border.

We learned more about Civil Rights, JFK, Columbus, etc.

Cyberpunk 2077.

For games that we know more about, the Resident Evil 2 remake.

Most games I'm looking forward to have little information about them. Metroid Prime 4, Shin Megami Tensei V...

XII

XII's gets a bad a rap, but I think it's pretty dope, even if it's not my favorite.

There's also Second Sight. It's on the GameCube and PS2 (not sure what version is better).

There's Lost Kingdoms and Lost Kingdoms 2. They're card-based action RPGs by From Software (of Dark Souls fame).

I hear the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance games are decent. They're quite different from the normal BG games.

Finally, there's Mega Man Network Transmission. It's Battle Network combined with classic Mega Man basically.

Edit: Got beaten to it lol.

PikachuMaxwell posted...

No. I gave up on competitive Pokemon in the main games a long time ago.

Pretty much. I last did it with any real regularity in Gen 2.

Pokemon's more about knowledge than skill tbqh, and I don't have much knowledge about the modern metagame. So in that sense, no, I'm not that great nowadays.

Said no-one ever.

This is a thing I love in so many games, but when I try to remember, I draw a blank. I hate that.

Same.

I managed to come up with this from Skies of Arcadia:

Eternal Champions - Character Bios


Super Robot Wars OGs - An Interlude to Fierce Fighting (Intermission Theme)


SRW Alpha Gaiden - Waiting For the Hardships Ahead (Intermission Theme)


Resident Evil 3 - Options


Bloody Roar Primal Fury - Character Select


Xenoblade - Main Theme


Deus Ex - Main Theme


Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Pause Theme


And the obligatory Metroid themes, e.g.



I know I've forgotten loads.

Morrowind, New Vegas and GTA: San Andreas.

I'm better than Japan's cybersecurity minister at least.
