    Super Mario Maker: Share Thread.

    I'll post the courses currently sitting my (limited) upload queue. I generally go for classic-style levels that I would enjoy playing. Take it Easy - 5FEC 0000 0040 4F04 The first level I made when I received the game. It's pretty easy; a 1-1 style stomp-fest meant to teach new players...

    Should I bother with Final Fantasy X?

    Sure, why not give it a shot. You'll either: A) Like it or B) Not like it Neither of the above options are life-altering.

    I know i'm late but dark souls is awesome

    I was late getting onto the Dark Souls train too. Got it when it released, disliked the difficulty and sold it back. Bought it again last year on XBL for five dollars and loved the crap out of it. I'm not gonna pretend to know what changed over the year and a half I didn't have it, but...

    Texas Boy Spends PS4 Money To Help Neighbors After Tragedy

    Woohoo! Proof that not all of us here in Texas are cowboys and gun nuts! In all seriousness though, this is a great story. To have such sincerity at a young age is awesome. Good on you, Hector Montoya.

    If you could bring back one thing about retro games what would it be?

    I love the smell of unwarranted hostility in the morning. Of course cynical cash-ins have always been a thing; where did I say they weren't? I have as many good memories with Sonic and Mario as I have bad ones with rip-offs like Bubsy and McKids. I just personally believe that it's a...

    If you could bring back one thing about retro games what would it be?

    ^^^ This x100 Awe and creativity used to be the norm. Companies seem so utterly devoted to these gritty/super-serious sensibilities now that folks forget to have fun. Or innovate, for that matter. For every Portal or Little Big Planet we have five me-too wannabes like MoH: Warfighter (pff...

    Escapists, I want to learn how to get better at Brawl.....

    I actually wouldn't recommend Subspace Emissary. On top of being an all-around mediocre way to spend your time with Brawl, it actually changes the physics of the base game in an attempt to homogenize character movement. Going from that to multiplayer is a jarring experience. The defensive...

    Most devastating loss of a save file

    Had about 50 or so hours on my badass Argonian warrior on Oblivion before my save file decided to play hookie on me. Had just completed the Fighter's Guild and gotten myself a sweet helmet too. There was this other time I was an idiot and saved over my almost complete Final Fantasy Tactics...

    Poll: Celebrity voice actors, Yay or Nay?

    Depends, I guess. Half the time it seems like celebrity voice actors just phone it in for a paycheck... like Chloe Grace Moretz's work in Dishonored, for example. Good ones can add a lot of dimension to a role, though. Jack Black's voice as Eddie in Brutal Legend was a highlight.

    Gameplay pet peeves.

    Rockstar games have this annoying habit of making you continually tap the A/X button to sprint. Doesn't sound like a big deal, until you have to maneuver the camera around w/ the right stick... which is preoccupied with the sprinting. Also, games that map too many functions to one button...

    Great Online Co-Op games

    Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light is probably the most fun I've had with a co-op partner in ages. It's a great game, solo or co-op, but adding a second person really makes it shine.

    Batman Arkham Origins: How are you finding it so far?

    I'm enjoying the game quite a bit. Or, I was. Then Warner Bros laughed in my face as my save file was corrupted not once, but two separate times. I'm thinkin' I'll wait for a patch.

    Telltale's The Wolf Among Us Arriving October 11th

    In all seriousness, this looks awesome... But daaaaaammmmit, I thought I had my game purchases all figured out this year. Come on game industry, you think I'm just made of money?

    Your chillout game?

    A session of Skyrim after a hard day is the ultimate "chill" mode. Vast expanses; calm atmosphere; exploration and adventure... a refreshing change from the way many games nowadays shove set-piece noise factories in your face. Doesn't get much better than that.
