eBay shaming

What's good on the Xbox anyway that you can't get on PC? Panzer Dragoon Orta and...?

Most of my games are shelf warmers as it would be impossible to play them all every day. They've all gotten some love at some point, except for the ones that are in the "do queue" for some intimate time with my joystick.

However, this is fighting street. So while I would be a hypocrite to fault o.puwanamic for having a ton of shelf nuggets, I would be remiss to not take some pot shot at his taste in games.

2600... c'mon! I always thought those atari fan sites were satirical gag sites like TheOnion.com or FoxNews.com. But I guess people are into stuff like cakefarts so maybe im wrong.

p.s. lochlan sits on a shelf basically all the time.

I like the 2600 and still play a bunch of games. Suck it.

Suck it.

1. H.E.R.O.
2. River Raid
3. Pitfall II
4. Yar's Revenge
5. Missile Command
6. Pitfall!
7. Solar Fox
8. Demon Attack
9. Moon Patrol
10. Phoenix

What, no love for Megamania ? That and River Raid started my love for shooters. I liked that Pitfall II BITD also, but I really couldn't force myself to go back and play a console so inferior after the spoiling of modern consoles... Gotta draw the line at 4 bit. Very tough even for 8-to-16 bit.

Oh, yeah, I love Megamania, but I just don't know if it's top 10. It's close though, top 20.

See, I had the opposite reaction. I've always been behind the curve a bit, mostly out of poverty, but recently just out of boredom with the stuff. I don't like Skyrim (and put the hours into it to prove I gave it a fair shake) or Assassin's Creed, find stuff like Last of Us boring as shit, unimpressed with first person shooters in general. I have a Steam account, but fuck the cut scenes, which are now the bulk of the games, fuck the "press X to do general action" pussy games. That's not gaming, that's mind numbing dumbfuckery with good graphics. I want a real game. I want to put sweat, blood, and tears into getting a high score. I want my shooters to kick my ass, not allow me to steamroll AI, not make it easy for me to kick their ass. I want my platformers to require precision and practice, not merely to babywalk me through it.

How you Turbolovers and OBEYers can like modern crap? No idea. When it comes to putting in the work in Military Madness or brainless potion making, smelting iron, hitting the same button over and over again in Skyrim, I'd take the former every time.

I love this post. I'm sure you offended some folks who enjoy modern games.

I'm not completely innocent, however. I actually love a lot of iPhone/iPad games. Ha! There are many games that are perfect with touch controls.

Maybe I'll catch up to PS2 games one of these years (probably), but I've been behind the curve for a long time. I'm still fully exploring all the great games prior to PS1.

I agree that my heart definitely belongs to the 8/16 era...and maybe a splash of Saturn and Dreamcast, however, I did just recently play through Dishonored and that game was excellent; I highly recommend it.

This just made me take you off "ignore".

Are you maintaining pcefx too Nulltard?

Is this a joke or...?

Hah, 6 month payment plans on eBay ? Haven't seen that before, and if the seller sends the item with the first payment, what's to enforce the buyer continuing the 5 payments after ? The threat of a negative feedback response ?

Seems Nulltard linked another one with payment plan option - it looks like it's connected to Paypal Credit and I bet it simply pays the seller in full and does the monthly charges to your account should you activate the feature and use it.

Pretty sure there's a credit check to stop the shady peoples from taking advantage of things.

I agree!  I mostly only play 8 and 16 bit.  I sprinkle some PS2 era stuff in too (Resident Evil, Metal Gear and racing sims mostly.  Newer gen stuff a la 360 I really only due Forza. 

As far as Elder Scrolls games go I really liked Morrowind and have done everything possible in Oblivion.  I could NOT get into Skyrim.  I also really loved Fallout 3.  A couple under appreciated games that are just good fun and require some strategy when playing the "campaign" are Blitz the League and Blitz the League 2.  Forget about "real" football games like Madden etc.
