The Blackangel

Something that can be fun as far as speedruns go would be if you had 2 full setups side by side, and you and a friend were racing each other to get to a certain point. Like if you were both playing Zelda OoT and starting from the beginning of the game when Navi was initially sent to Link, and then race each other to the point where Link pulls out the Master Sword. No game guides, no cheat codes (if any exist), and no rules regarding side stops like skulltulas or catching all the chickens in Kakariko village to get the bottle. That would actually be fun.

Does taping a game to a tree and shooting it with a 12 gauge shotgun after it pisses you off too many times count?

How so? No one is wanting to shut down. Businesses have been folding all over the country, and that includes both small local shops, and major corporations. Since they didn't want to shut down, motivation doesn't mean shit. I'm motivated to go for a run, but since I'm stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, that's not going to happen. Motivation means nothing.

That first line is the hardest for me. From there the story flows organically, and writes itself for me. I know when to take a break, I know when a chapter ends, and I know when the story has ended. But the thing to remember, is that you can't force it. You have to let it come to you about when to start writing the story. If you try to force it, then typically the story will not be any good. That has been my experience anyway.

I write as well. It's more of a hobby than anything. At the moment I've finished 2 full length novels, 3 short stories, 2 songs, and a shitload of unconventional poetry. At the moment I don't have any real aspirations of getting published, but maybe one day I'll look into it. I have them uploaded to a website, but I rarely give out the link.

The Way. It's difficult to figure out what the hell you're doing in the beginning, but it becomes a bit clearer as you move through the FIRST FRICKIN' LEVEL. You're in for a hell of a ride with this one.

I'm disabled as well, and in a wheelchair. But some of these simulators are just going too far. I got to experience a lot of things before I was stuck like this. I had a lot of different kinds of jobs, grew up on a small stock farm, was a bull rider as a teen, and a lot of other things. Now, however, there's not a lot I can do that I enjoy. So I guess I got a lot of it out of me that simulators would cover. But I still think they're going too far when there's one called Job Simulator.

@DC can you make this topic sticky? I was looking for it the other day, and for some reason I couldn't find it.

Switch--- The Childs Sight (DDL) Skyrim Thief Simulator (DDL) Blasphemous (DDL) Revenge Of The Bird King (DDL) Aldred Knight(DDL)

Off the top of my head, I would have to say when a bite bug farted on me in FF8.

I played SimFarm on Win95, but was never gung-ho about it. Unless things like Roller Coaster Tycoon count as sim games, I never played any other sim games. It doesn't have the appeal to me that it needs to keep my attention. More power to those that enjoy it, but in all seriousness, with the Job Simulator I have only one thing to say: WHAT THE HOLY FUCK????

A large number of the games I play were unique titles that never got any kind of sequels. So I can't comment on those games. But the ones that do have sequels never bumped out the previous entries in the list. I still play Zelda 2, FF1 (NES) and FF2/3/4 (SNES), and even though I've seen a lot of people say they're all the same thing, I still play all of the God Of War games. My favorite is Chains Of Olympus. Just because it's old, or there's a new entry in the series, isn't a valid reason to quit playing a game that you enjoy.

I don't plan, I improvise. If I decide to do something it's entirely in the moment. i don't plan to do something 5 minutes from now, because I could be dead 3 minutes from now. So like I said, I don't plan. I improvise.

If you could literally remove one thing from existence, what would it be and why?

It's an attractive game. My only complaint is that I wish the camera was closer to the characters.

I played the classics. Pacman, Pitfall, Space Invaders, Asteroids, etc. I also played some more modern games when I was a bit older and all the good ones were gone. I played Silent Scope, Soul Calibur 2, and Dance Maniax. It's similar to DDR, but you use your hands instead of your feet. The Soul Calibur 2 machine that I played was on the Mizzou campus, so it got a LOT of attention. It ranked the top 100 players. I was ranked at 6th place. But that was almost 20 years ago, and I don't even know if the machine is still there. Probably not, since there have been so many sequels since then. But me and Kilik were virtually unstoppable.

Blaster Master. The mix of fantasy and sci-fi is just awesome.

Out of the ones in my library, there are several. Marble Madness (NES) - The marbles are damn near impossible to control. And the last level, if you're even able to make it there, is so hard it's almost unbeatable. And the fact that there's a timer just ups the insane difficulty. Solar Jetman (NES) - Literally impossible to control that god damn ship. 'Nuff said. Zelda Oracle Games (Game Boy) - I get stuck so easily in these games in spots that I just can't figure out where to go to get out of that area so I can go to other parts of the world map, that I have to putt out the guide. I'm absolutely horrible at the games. South Park The Fractured Butthole (Multiple) - This game is just a bitch. For me it's hard as hell. Not sure why, but I have immense difficulty on this one. DKC (SNES) - This one enrages me to no end. I've beaten the first 2, but never even played the third one, just because of how pissed I get. The only reason I have it is to complete the trilogy. Darkstone (PS1) - This one is just a "Huh?" game. Nothing makes sense, and there seems to be no actual goal. I've played it quite a bit, and found nothing. So either I suck, or I just don't know what the hell I'm doing. I used to be really good at fighting games, but I haven't played any in years despite the fact that I have quite a few. I think I'm just rusty as hell. I'm leaving out ROM-hacks because that's too easy to talk about.

I just did a major run to Walmart today. I’m gonna be trying to put shit away all weekend.

The Core is a good one. I haven’t watched it in a while, but always enjoyed it when I did.

It’s par for the course these days, but not too terribly long ago, it was unheard of for there to be any kind of vulgarities in a video game. People were freaking out over blood in Mortal Kombat. The first time I ever heard, or maybe more appropriately READ, a video game cuss was in FF8. Mostly it was Zell. He had a bit more of a mouth than anyone else, but there were also messages from the game. Like when you fight Wedge and Biggs at the prison, it often pops up a message that says ”Wedge is pissed.” I’m not joking. That’s literally what it says. So what was the first time you heard a game cuss?

I stand mine up on end so they have a larger area to dispel heat. That has helped immensely.

I don’t think those who are subscribed to PS Plus will be let down. Nintendo is kicking ass on their end, so PlayStation will want to keep up with them.

Maybe it’s because I’ve only been awake for about 20 minutes, but I’m not fully following your question. If I have it wrong tell me, but the only old school Nintendo game I can think of that ported to Switch is Links Awakening. I play on my Switch a lot, but no more than I play on my NES, SNES, and N64.
