I don't love 'em, I fuck 'em with my vans on.

No sorry this is my life

Hold up, I'll have to call you back ciderman, it's just my other bitch calling.

CiDeRmAn · 17-03-2013 08:01AM

I'll trust you to do some thread editing when you sober up, whatever hour on Tuesday that happens is anyone's guess though.
I never knew skate trainers were such an aphrodisiac, shows how out of touch I am with the current crop of young folk...
But then, in my day, we had heroes like Tesla....

CiDeRmAn · 17-03-2013 08:03AM

Actually, I'll leave them up till midday, let everyone take it all in, then do a little editing myself... Before you get banned!

CiDeRmAn · 17-03-2013 08:11AM

Banned for that B*witched video man you should know better!

Well, I'm off to work, finished at half eight tonight, Happy Paddy's day to y'all!

(and thanks to the government for trying to make sure I don't get paid for working today!)

If it's any consolation I'm in ribbons in mass and there's screaming children.

And yes I am posting directly from mass. Which I'm going straight to hell for.

Oh, I'm sure he's around somewhere, people, even regulars, take a break sometimes.
Besides, Jamma+ is a seductive place, tempting folk away with promises of fortune and glory....

I'm pretty sure we haven't

. Don't want to say too much more than that, will let the man speak for himself.

Oculus Rift - good news and bad news.

Good news, my order status has changed to -

Order Status: Ready - Your order is ready! We'll notify you as soon as it's shipped.

Bad news, it's not shipping with Doom 3 BFG edition for some strange reason. They're offering steam store credit or a refund instead.

I think I'll still hang on and get the devkit. It looks like there are people making 3rd party drivers to get the kit going with other games like HL2 and Mirrors Edge (!).

edit - no drama attached to the Steve_SI bit above, I'm just trying to be responsible.

Are there any plans to release The Cave on a physical medium at all?

CiDeRmAn · 17-03-2013 04:21PM

Great game, love to see it on the 3DS, but hasn't Gilbert left Double Fine?

Steve X2 · 17-03-2013 09:01PM

The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated

Hello chaps(and lady/ladies?), I've not abandoned my post here in retro land but just been mental busy over the last couple of months (the job and becoming freshly single has taken up a lot of time).
Life should be returning to a more stable state soon so I hope.

Have I missed any major events/purchases?

Atavan-Halen · 17-03-2013 10:12PM

Glad to hear you're still with us Steve!

Atavan-Halen · 18-03-2013 12:45AM

Out drinking again tonight. It was a struggle to get the first pint down but I managed! I think I'm getting too old

CiDeRmAn · 18-03-2013 01:41AM

News Flash!
Retr0 still hates LoD!
I still find scrolling beat'em ups to be utterly pointless!
Atavan-halen still drunk posts!
So, no Steve, business as usual!

Atavan-Halen · 18-03-2013 03:00AM

Well I'm fairly well on now. So whatever #yolo.

You mean...you find Streets of Rage to be utterly pointless?

Atavan-Halen · 18-03-2013 05:02AM

I would kill to have ville valo's voice. Think of all the women I could deduce!

I like deducing women. Makes me feel all, sherlocky

CiDeRmAn · 18-03-2013 10:03AM

Certainly reduce the number of STIs you'd pick up... "I deduce that fine looking lass is actually riddled with genital warts, good thing I'm better at deduction than seduction or my member would look like a pepperami... again....."

How the mod of an arcade & retro forum can dislike scrolling beat em ups just does not compute. Were the powers that be aware of this fact before making you mod?

CiDeRmAn · 18-03-2013 11:51AM

Well, I know... but thankfully there are many good genres represented in the retrogaming pantheon, not just Golden Arse and Streets of Suck Ass.

I take it all back, from now on I shall play nothing other than SoR and the like.
They are the greatest of all game genres and I feel foolish for ever suggesting that they are pants.

Forgiveness please to all posters here on the A&R forum.

[honesty] I may be lying [/honesty]

pdbhp · 18-03-2013 11:53AM

Started Persona 4 Golden yesterday, played for 5 or more hours and nothing has happened. Game looks great, sound track is good, charachter design is good but zero has happened.

I had one battle about 4 hours in then nothing again. Now I know t's a slow starter but come on.
It'll get going soon according to the internets. It better.

Also completed Assassins Creed3 Liberation yestrday.
Good game but posed very little challange, infact I would call the game easy far too easy. Lots of hand holding going on.
The only real challanges in the game were putting up with crappy level desjgn and uber annoying controls.

Well its not that they are the greatest genre or anything, its just if I think of arcade games, scrolling beat em ups is a genre that springs to mind. What is it about the likes of SoR2 that you wouldn't like?

Kat Bailey is leaving joystiq and moving to a job with EA

I think that completes the loss of every games journalist who I trusted in one month. She was by far the best journalist around when it came to RPGs and a fellow crusader against Legend of Dragoon. At least jeremy parish at IGN is still writing about obscure stuff.

CiDeRmAn · 18-03-2013 02:11PM

I don't know, just find the whole walking from left to right with a limited move set, smacking palette swapped identikit enemies around, all a bit M'eh....
There are a few exceptions, Aliens and Aliens Vs Predator on arcade hardware, Comix Zone, Knights of the Round, Armored Warriors, Batman Returns... ok, maybe more than a few exceptions, but the reason they are good is that there is always something interesting to looks forward to on the next screen or level.
Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, TMNT, Simpsons, all I find mind numbing, only the XMen is almost not dung, and that's because of an interest in the subject matter.

But, hey, it's only like my opinion.
And, yes, I do like Halo, and lacklustre FPS on the PS2.......

Should I beware the Ides of March?
Will there be a coup?
Do I have to look out for daggers and my imminent replacement?

She'll probably get a job writing the blurb for the back of a Legend of the Dragoon sequel, just to compound the misery!
