    DELETED

    I'm more surprised anyone else even played that game, let alone found an arcade version of it. Anywho, I had the PS1 version of it and it was pretty atrocious (At least it wasn't on the Sega Saturn though...?). The controls were clunky as hell, balance was thrown out the window, and I'm...

    What's your favorite work of art?

    Bah, got beat to it in the first post. Definitely a great choice though. [/spoiler]

    Horror movie recommendations

    I'm surprised anyone else even watched The Babadook. I'd second it as a pretty equally creepy film, but more so for the atmosphere you get from it as opposed to fake blood flying about everywhere. If you're into something with more of a comedy vibe to it over a straight up horror flick, Dead...

    Favorite 'Hey, it's that guy!' actor?

    No love for Ron Pearlman yet? Well I'll throw him out there then. Dude recently got big doing a major spot on Sons of Anarchy I think, but he's been around doing all kinds of things for ages. Biggest role for me was seeing him star in the Hellboy movies. He's got a HUGE list of live roles as...

    Recommend me a game with a great story

    If FF7 did it for you, absolutely check out Legend of Dragoon on the PS1. I'm not terribly sure how it may stack up for most people as far as story goes, but I loved it to death. You're definitely going to find (probably more than) a few cliches but no more than Final Fantasy I'd say. Also...

    Resident Evil Revelations 2 will have micro-transactions

    Personally, if the game turns out to be as good as the first Revelations was, I see no reason this should dampen an otherwise good game. It really was one of the better RE iterations in recent years, and I too kinda liked the ghost ship idea cuz it hasn't been played out much yet. There really...

    Poll: Toonami reducing it's running time to 3 and half hours..

    Honest question: Why do people even watch CN's version of Toonami still if it's so bad? And more on that note, why not just go to one of the other options out there if you really don't like what they play? Anime's all over the place both officially and unofficially on the internet, and if it's...

    Poll: Your favorite Megaman Series?

    I was probably six or so when I first had my round in the X series, but Legends one and two is by and far my all time favorite of the series. It most definitely had its faults back then, but I'd like to think it more than made up for it with it's charm. The characters were all pretty memorable...

    Fuck Remastered Remakes

    To add another example of graphical updates being just fine, look at what happened to Conker's Bad Fur day when it wend from the 64 to the XBox. A huge chunk of the game was now bleeped out, and I remember the multiplayer being fiddled with and not for the better. I typically don't do the...

    horror game atmospheres

    Personally, I think I'd be kinda put off by a heavily horrifying atmosphere with no pay off. I think the Ju-On games for the Wii kinda did what you were looking to do, and they're more like a walk through, jump scare filled haunted house than a game. The only way you can actually die in game is...

    Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever

    To be fair, you did ask for is opinion. I can't say he's too far off either. I don't even think I could watch this drunk and get much out of it. And while I love laughing at terrible movies, this one is out of my league.

    Strategy game for someone who's never played strategy games

    If turn based is more your speed, I'd absolutely recommend Heroes of Might and Magic 3. It's definitely more than a few years old, but I'm pretty sure most people (myself included) find that to be the top one of the series. There's enough in the way of resource management so that you aren't...

    Poll: Your presence on the Escapist.

    I'm pretty sure I don't stick out much in many people's minds. I've been lurking around the site back when Yatzhee had all of two or three videos to his name, though I never had much reason to post much back then. I may pop in once or twice to say a thing here or there, but generally I stick to...

    Games you feel that only you played

    I had a CD-I growing up, if that counts for anything. Admittedly, I never did play any of the terrible Nintendo cross over things, but I did get introduced to a few more important ones through it: Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, and 7th Guest. Ton of other ones too, but man that was a long time ago...

    Best Gaming Laptops?

    I actually do use a laptop as a pretty decent gaming device, as well as for most everything else I'd need a regular desktop. I tend to move around a good deal, and I don't ever really have much space for putting a desk into my room so it did kinda pay off for me in the long run. If you're...
