It's brilliant, ain't it?

Oh shi...! I just finished the first room!

This game is genius.

Googling reveals it comes from a 2ch ascii-art meme. I just made an axe thread showcasing my favorites.

[Isfet]

that's really...interesting

i think i'd like it more if you didn't start at the first screen after dying.

but it's the kind of thing i feel compelled to keep playing, oddly enough.

[Lurky]

Damn, it's brilliant.

[Wall of Beef]

Ok, I can not seem to get past the second screens monster. You can't jump over it, can't walk under it, bullets do nothing, and blowing your steam does nothing. BOLLOCKS!

I tried the first room more than twenty times. It's frustrating and addictive at the same time.

Ok, this game is pure sadism. And I love it. Once you solve a room the solution seem SO obvious... it makes me think "I'm a idiot"

The maker of this is a good candidate to evil mastermind or mad doctor.

I'm really late to the party, but god damn, Cave Story really is awesome!

EDIT: Like, really awesome!

Put some more time into Pop'n Music 13... Well, the challenge mode is nice, and some songs are simply amazing (Suikoden V Medley, Arabian Magic Medley). Guess it's just Enjoy Mode that was fucked up here...

Did also play some Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 with a friend. Amazingly good game! The feeling of deflecting an enemy's fireball swarm with your hands - priceless.

Right now i'm grooving to Mark Ecko's Getting Up. It is reminding me a lot of NES Double Dragon put into 3D, and with a grafitti plot instead of a kidnapping plot. The grafitti mechanics are nice but laughable. They appeal to the part of me that likes to do attentive mindlessness like RPGs demand.

The fighting is kinda weak at first since you have to unlock your moves, but it's goffy fun with weapons that are totally disposable. The plot is absurd, especially if you have even passing knowledge of graf, but that just heightens the campy goodness.

4-player Smash Bros and Mario Kart 64 on N64. It's amazing how much time can be wasted in-between class (and after!) by pummelling each other on go-karts and on foot.

It's too bad there's only a core of about 6 people willing to play. Although, I figure, once we learn each other's styles of play it's going to get MORE intense with counter and counter-counter attacks.

I played Cave Story last year and I thought it was a little bit overrated. I seem to be the only person who thinks this. I probably would've liked it more if my expectations weren't blown out of proportion by all the praise I heard.

For one, the script is not very interesting and I think it would be better with no dialogue at all, just visual storytelling. The music does nothing for me. There are boring fetch quests. And the artwork in the different areas is so starkly different with no transitional areas, and it doesn't seem to be configured in a 2d grid, so there is no sense that the island is a coherent space. It just feels like a bunch of random rooms stuck together. How is Hell related spatially to the rest of the island, for instance?

You may now crucify me.

Anyway, the game has its strong points -- a lot of charm, good physics and the Hell stage. I just don't think it's the perfect masterpiece some people have claimed it to be.

Struggling to think of something to play right now, I just played a few games of Dynamite Deka / Die Hard Arcade from the PS2 Sega Ages collection.

Still fun and kinda hilarious, I wish you got more than three continues mind.

Every so often, I get a desire to finish DQ8. I put ~25 hours into it this time last year, and a little more in summer but I'm not sure if it'd be wiser to just start a new game, or play one of the earlier DQ's that isn't quite so long. Any advice which one would be a nice introduction to the series?

Either that, or I'll wait till next week and pick up Final Fantasy VI Advance and Hotel Dusk and read a book this week.

[SplashBeats]

Hahaha, 25 hours. You're like 1/3rd of the way through, maybe.

I have a 60 hr save that I should probably finish, except I still have the final 1/3rd of the game to do! The fact that I'm saved in some ugly awful winter wasteland doesn't help.

Man I picked up my more-than-a-year old save of DWVII. I had beaten the Demon Lord, was asked to insert disc 2, and turned it off. I picked it up, and Disc 2 is a lot shorter than Disc 1. I can see me being finished with the game in a day or two. Then I can decide if I'm going to do any of the sidequests or not.

Beat Cave Story this morning. I heard something about a secret lvl and bosses and stuff but I dont think I will play through it again for those.


Was a very charming game to say the least.

[Mikey]

I've been trying to stretch it out a bit, since I don't have anything else new to play right now.

[nocturnedelight]

So, Lumines II.

Course B is kinda hard to swallow. The beginning few skins seem to have no flow (like a greatest hits album usually has no flow). The Black Eye Peas Song not only sucks as a song, but sucks as Lumines song (not edited up for the game, no sound effect changes through playing).

I'm hoping A and S are better.

Played Rival Turf with my brother today. I love my copy of the game beause it wont read unless you also stick a slip of paper in with the cartridge... but doing this causes all kinds of glitches.

Powerbombs become the greatest thing ever!

Oozie can not only do infinate consecutive powerbombs on command... But crazy shit like powerbombing yourself (sometimes even causes damage!), Powerbombing invisible enemies, and powerbombing health turkeys can happen...among other things!

Not to mention the teleportating enemies, messed with hit boxes (Flack can punch guys on the bottom of the screen from the top of the screen under certain cercumstances), wepons that "trade" from player to player at random and you have one hell of an interesting beat-em-up.

If they intended some of this stuff and fit it into the actual game, caming up with some wierd mid-90s explanation of why the stuff happened... the game would be a legend.


The game was a favorite of my youth, but with the glitches (none of the more extreme ones are in the actual version) the game became a favorite of my adult life as well.

Last night I played 3rd Strike with my best friend until late.
I mostly play Remy as I've become quite good with charge partitioning and buffering, but I switched to Dudley whenever my friend chose Ken or Chun or Yun.

I also played some Vampire Savior with him on the Saturn. <3 Jedah.

[Cryo]

I still can't do charge partitioning right :(

Asking for charge partitioning help ITT
