Yup, s'your own fault Colm! ...

Why would you feel guilty for grinding? it's harder at the start and it makes the game better[I loved having my super pwnage team that I never needed to change] as you have your dream team.

I'm just starting in Kanto and haven't even made a start on my elite team[well Ampharos,but that's just 'cos I've no electric types]

What the hell is grinding?

Sounds pretty stupid to me. The old pokemons were easily beatable without having to spend ages walking around waiting for enemies to appear. Why'd they change it?

Well, when a Pokémon and its trainer are very much in love, they run around a grass patch together for hours while pressing 'A'.

I'm trying to build up the courage to fight Red. I tried once but got absolutely destroyed because his pokémon are high levels and I haven't been bothered to grind loads yet. Can't remember what levels my pokémon are at as my DS is out of battery and I refuse to charge it until I finish my exams then I can beat that pesky pikachu wielding kid from Pallet town.

While we're talking pokemon, don't suppose anyone has a Shiny Stone they want to send me? I've got a Togetic that needs evolving

I can't wait for this.

Well, I'm hardly going to carry my gameboy around all of the time, and I don't have a DS, so come on, the iPod is the ultimate solution to play Gold

Smartly Dressed

The Urbz: Sims in the City on my GBA.

A game I recently rediscovered and I'm glad I did. Although I do wish your stats didn't decline so quickly. Sleeping, ****ting and showering gets very tedious when you have to do it as often as in this game.

Not possible.

I need to get back on Starcraft 2 and TF2, I freakin' love those two games.

Really want to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl now for some reason.

Obviously it's not! :P I just think that if you want to play a game, you should play it like it was meant to be, on its original console. And you should pay for it, of course!

Sounds like an alarmingly practical solution!......

Lads, it's been a while since I fired up Audiosurf, but it's up there at the top of my Steam list and I can't keep ignoring it, so can someone give me some awesome songs to play? (preferably with high-scores that I can attempt to beat)

VenomIreland

Try this song, although I've never ran it through Audiosurf myself:

DO will back me up on this one.

It's called Blue Blur in the Green Fields (link to MP3). It's a remix of Sonic music and it's awesome.

D4RK ONION

It is actually class. Listen to it people!! It's free!

I'm trying to hunt down a copy of Phoenix Wright,I have a sudden desire to play the original again.I think it's because I heard the music!

One of the most surreal experiences I've ever had was playing through Phoenix Wright and then writing a law essay.:D

syncosised

Now you've made me want to play it! If only for the awesome "Objection!" music!

Now where did I put that game ...

Banjo Fella

Ah, Phoenix Wright. Love those games! I've yet to play Trials and Tribulations, Apollo Justice and the Edgeworth games, though... if only any local game shop actually had any of them in stock. >_>

Here's some awesome, unobjectionable Mr. Scruffy Detective music from the Jazz/Orchestral arrangement albums Capcom released, and another from Magical Trick Society's album.

Just finished the campaign mode on Bad company 2 there.It was without a doubt one of the worst storylines that I've ever seen in any game.The graphics when you are driving are very poor as well.At least i have Mafia 2 to look forward to!

RocketFalls

I'm holding out until Portal 2 then ditching my Xbox. Beginning to get very disillusioned with the medium as a whole.

D4RK ONION

Blur is a shallow racing game based on explosions and pretty colours. It's essentially Mario Kart for grown ups.


It is AWESOME.

Replaying Final Fantasy 5 for the GBA. Awesome
