The Blackangel

Tell me I'm not the only one that sticks mostly to the old stuff. Cartridge systems. Atari, Colecovision, NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis. I play a bit of PS1 and PS3, but this post is for the old stuff. Who else is a classic gamer? What's your favorite classic game? Why? And no picking the major series like Zelda or Castlevania. I'm looking for more obscure games. Anything else is cool. If it's a movie title (F13) that's fine. If it's a relatively unheard of game, even better. For me it's Blaster Master. It's a perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy. You follow your pet frog down a hole and find a world unlike anything you could have imagined. You take command of a tank (names Sophia) and have to fight through several stages to save the world. I suck at descriptions, but the game is really awesome. Here's the Wikipedia: Blaster Master

The ending to Zelda: A Link To The Past was a bit of a let down. I was hoping for more, but got relatively nothing. Same goes for Castlevania Symphony Of The Night.

If we're talking about more recent stuff, then every Assassin's Creed makes the list. If we're talking about slightly older stuff, then several come to mind. Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (N64) The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii) Soul Caliber 2 (Game Cube) Donkey Kong series (SNES) Marble Madness (NES) Solar Jetman (NES) T&C Surf Designs (surfing part) (NES) I could never figure out the damn surfing one T&C. Donkey Kong will send me from zero to psycho in 2 seconds. Twilight Princess just sucked. Soul Caliber was a major pain. I could only play it on the practice part where there was no time or health if I wanted to enjoy it. Marble Madness don't get me started. Solar Jetman was impossible. The damn craft spins uncontrollably with the slightest touch of the D pad. MK Mythologies was just a pitiful attempt to capitalize on the MK popularity at the time. There was one game, thankfully I can't remember the title, that I bought for PS3, and 20 minutes later I was taking it back to Game Stop. It was so horrible, I don't see how it ever got out of the prototype stage.

I'll stick to the fighting games where you have a set list of characters to choose from. You pick one and you fight. Simple as that. Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and the like. mainly the ones that came out around the SNES era.

It's impossible for me to be banned. I don't play online games. I've been banned from online forums, but that was a joke. I just hack them and cause real trouble after that.

The Plutonium Boss in Blaster Master on NES. That thing is virtually impossible to beat.

I usually chose M Bison or Ryu.

I hated Primal Rage. All you can do is fart and puke at each other. LAME. Myself I recommend Mortal Kombat. I would also say Killer Instinct. The SNES game offers a tournament selection so you can have everyone fighting each other. If you want something more modern I say Soul Caliber 2.

A couple of my favorites were Silent Scope, and Dance Maniax. It's different from DDR. With DM, you use your hands over sensors instead of your feet. It was pretty sweet. Also one that I played constantly and was severely good at was Soul Caliber 2. Hook me up with Kilik, and you are going to get hurt.

Correction, I'm thinking of Dark Earth.

Darkstone was sweet as hell, but I could never get the whole game to run. I could play to about 10 minutes in and the game would quit working. I bought several copies and tried it on more than one computer and had the same problem.

I live in Missouri USA.

Well compare the base skill of hockey to other major sports. For soccer, football, baseball, and basketball, first you just have to be able to stand on the court/field. With hockey you have to be able to skate before you get on the ice. That means skating forward, backward, sideways, on one skate, and be able to stop on a dime. Also on a slap shot the puck can hit speeds of up to 90mph. That's a chunk of steel with a thin layer of rubber on it. And you have to catch it with a wooden stick on the ice when it's passed. I'm not trying to insult any sport as all take master talent and skill to reach the top level, I just think hockey takes more.

Most horror movies bore me, since none are scary. But I like the supernatural and daemonic type of movies. I can't really pick any specifically, except Hellraiser. But only the ones that Doug Bradley was in. After he quit the series, I quit watching. He brought grace and manners to evil in a way no other could ever be compared to.

Typically its Netflix or occasionally DVD/Blu-Ray.

Google girl here as well. I just grab a few lyrics and look for it.

I play dual flute. It's really easy to learn and makes really beautiful music. I learned in about 2 months and enjoy the hell out of it. Here's a pic to show you what instrument I'm talking about.

Jackass. I don't have the tolerance for stupidity, and one of them actually made me puke. I'm not sure which one it was, but i think it was Jackass 3. It's the scene where the guy drank horse semen.

I always thought Red actually did get paroled. But I always thought the old woman at the end of Titanic was asleep and dreaming at the end, whereas most people said she died and was in her own personal heaven. I can't believe I forgot Stand By Me. That one still takes my breath away to this day.

Epic movie wasn't bad in my opinion, it was just way too overkill on the goofy factor. If they had toned it down just a bit, the movie would have been a hell of a lot better.

If we're just talking gaming in general, my earliest gaming memory is playing ladybug on my Colecovision.

Almost 30 tattoos. I've been getting inked for probably 15-16 years.

Every part of my body except my feet, genitals, and ass have at least one tattoo on them. Yes my face and hands are included in the tattoos. I don't get ink just because I think it would be cool. Every tattoo I get has to have meaning for me. I have a couple that I'm going to cover up. One because the guy that did the tattoo, completely screwed it up and it looks like a pile of horse crap. Actually horse crap would look better. The other one, I'm getting covered for very personal reasons that I'm not going to divulge online.

Gas yesterday was $2.36. Everyone was surprised by the price being that high.

ZZT and MDK. ZZT was a game I had on my first computer which was a 286. MDK was one of the earliest Windows 95 games. It was a blast to play, and for the era had amazing graphics. I loaned it to a guy and never saw it again. Age Of Empires was another one. Deer Hunter and Deer Avenger. Diablo is a classic no matter what platform you play it on. These days the only PC games I play anymore are AOE2 and Diablo 2. That's because they're the only ones I have that are even worth playing in my opinion. And due to the fact that I absolutely despise online gaming, you won't see me on WOW anytime soon. I hated that game.
