I'm thinking about getting the guide for a later playthrough, I'm almost done with the main quest and there is a ton of stuff that I don't even know I have missed. The FPSing kinda blows IMO, but VATS is the shit, especially with a high Agility, right now I can sneak up on a group of four raiders, then blow all of their heads off before they could even see me coming. Also I love Dogmeat. I've found like 70+ locations and I still have a ton of the map unexplored, there are tons of little towns and stuff that you could simply never find on a play through. It really helps make if feel like a living breathing world.

Fallout 3 is just nonstop awesome. The am still amazed at just how immersibe the world is, and how much better an more real it feels than Oblivion did, the cities are great, and the quests are just amazing thus far.

+ Soul Calibur IV = AWESOME!!!!!

what is the stuff you use to play gba roms on your DS? I may grab it if only to play this on actual hardware.

I've seen one of em, and it is, it's at least from the time period when they launched the Arcades, which all had the new chips.

Timbo is selling an Elite IIRC, for a pretty decent price.

I'd love to write it. Remember that a lot of it was differences in culture and not understanding just how the other market worked. Japan had a handle, somewhat, on Japan. But the execs over there didn't know SHIT about how the US worked. The US guys could sell shit over here, but had trouble dealing with the suits back in the orient. It ended up as a clusterfuck.

Well, all three did contribute to the fall of Sega, but honestly it had a LOT more to do with a Japanese branch that couldn't communicate well with the American branch and vice versa. Sega was at the best of times a clusterfuck of misjudging markets and corporate infighting.

Emo FTW.

Yeah, but it was the first major game that also allowed easy internet play. Of course at the time, easy play meant looking online for a list of servers and typing their IPs in by hand, but it was hella easier than trying to call a BBS or do DWANGo or shit like that. Quakeworld did it much better, adn still has one of the best network code I have ever seen. Shit played smooth with 16 players on a modem. Props. I doubt I had more fun in a multiplayer FPS as I did in Duke 3D though. Really? Outside of the grenade throwing, shit like that happens ALL THE TIME. The Elites are some evil motherfuckers, they go for cover fuck with you and shit like that, by Halo 3 they had pack mentality, and other crazy shit like that. CoD I wasn't singling out for the AI, but more for the first game to really capture the feeling of being in an actual War. HL1 did have AWESOME AI though, I was disappointed in HL2s AI because it was nowhere near as good. A good huge game can be a blast, you just need a team that can work well together.

Whoa there, you need to learn your history young one. While Heretic and Hexen were indeed imporvements over the Doom Engine, Quake was the first major Fully 3D FPS. It was a completely different engine. Also Duke Nukem 3d, as awesome as it was only a little more advanced than the Doom engine. In fact the most advanced 3d engine until Quake was the engine used by System Shock and Ultima Underworld. The environments in those games were actually completely 3d, something that the Doom Engine could never pull off, and the Build engine could not achieve until its Shadow Warrior version. Agreed, though I think you are ignoring what QuakeWorld and Quake 2 did for PC online gaming. UT added a LOT, and was badass as hell, but it was nowhere near as influential as those early quake builds. Debateable, Half Life 1 and 2 I think have vastly overrated stories, in fact I don't think HL2 REALLY gets compelling until EP2 (story wise.) HL1's story was ok at best. System Shock 1 was doing a deep story in a shooter/RPG long before Half Life did. Half Life was just a LOT more popular. I also think that you are ignoring some of the major advances that the Halo and Call of Duty franchises have brought to shooters. Halo had unparalleled AI and Outdoor areas, and vehicles that weren't matched at all that generation, and Call of Duty did war better than anyone else. Battlefield 1942 is also deserving of mention for bringing huge multiplayer sessions into vogue, and Planetside deserves mention for being the first MMO shooter.

Well, you should have the very best of Sega already. The others should have been on that drive I brought over to you many moons ago.

The One-ups are great, I have two of their albums: The Very Best of Sega, and Xenogears Light. Time and Space: A Tribute to Yasunori Mitsuda is their best, but it is long out of print. Had to DL that one, but if they ever re-release it, that bitch is mine.

Kinda ashamed, was playing recently, and I can't beat Vodka Drunkinski, er I mean Soda Popinski. Hell, even Piston Honda's second fight is a bitch.

Braid and Geomentry Wars 2 have been getting a bunch of playtime lately. I played a bunch of Patapon, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Megaman 2 during the trip up to orlando this weekend. Gotta get back to No More Heroes, and Condemned 2. No More Heroes is interesting, want to see where it goes, I have 2 dudes left I think.

I'd say the Turban is a bit less offensive than the obvious "Black Face". But that is an issue that didn't really come up in Japan until the mid-90's.

Which game was oilman in?

Team ICO is owned by Sony, so I hope to GOD they haven't been lost. As for Vs, I'll believe that one is exclusive when the generation ends and it hasn't come out on 360. Again, not that I care all that much, if it reviews well, I may check it out. Still Agito 13 and Parastie Eve 3 for the PSP is AWESOME!!!!!

Didn't you hear, Sony lost it, it's coming out for the GBA, it'll be a 5 cart masterpiece.

It's a delay, but no more of one than we would have normally gotten, mainly because Square always takes at least a year to translate FFs over to the US anyway. I can't remember any of them that didn't have a LONG fucking localization. So in the year that they are adding a couple of new features and other miscellaneous shit, they will be porting the game from the PC (Crystal Tools) to the 360. God knows how the port will be, but that's how it goes. I'm kinda surprised that MS hasn't gotten them dev kits yet. Pretty crazy.

Jumper: AKA Hayden Christensen still can't act. WHOLE LOT OF SUCK!!!!!!!!! JESUS!

Other fun Mega Man shit: This is a net classic, Okkusenman!!!!! http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=lqT1SAPfF_w&...feature=related And Airman will NOT DIE!!!! http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=hUVdA9ABzpg&...feature=related Another version http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=qbX6yTKHkCU&...feature=related

Some of you are just getting that NOW? I noticed it from the trailers.
