What purpose do boobs serve in a fighting game?  Only to titilate. 

And you're calling other people immature, geez. I find that word very offensive.

Underrated Indie Games Part 91: Dogfighter [Jabberwock]

Oh God. Don't know why you'd pick that one, but thanks I guess. :D

Well, consistency is what I aim for, generally. Glad I'm achieving it to some degree.

Also, this song by Caribou is lovely and chill, while still having a beat. Could make a good dancing tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq_tDOFU5tY

Yeah, I dig that. It's got a great groove. The piano chords toward the end are awesome.

Speaking of great grooves:

Bibio - Jealous of Roses

Local multiplayer floats my boat. Most of the console gaming I do is local multiplayer; it's a very enjoyable social experience for me.

I also agree with what Mr. Sinclair said about certain RPGs and strategy games being poorly adjusted for consoles. To me games that have slow, precise gameplay - and also games that are heavily sound oriented, like Thief - should be played on the PC, because we're used to doing slower, more precise things on PCs and faster-paced things on consoles (or at least I am). Plus you're a lot closer to the screen and can wear headphones, so it's actually a potentially more immersive environment.

I don't foresee either party having any reason to change at any time in the near future.

I wouldn't really call them "parties"... I don't know of anyone who plays PC games who would refuse to play a console game. I play a lot of PC games myself, but I'm not exactly prejudiced... consoles are excellent, though usually for more action-oriented games in my humble opinion.

Nice concept; simple but unique. The controls feel sort of weird/counterintuitive, but I think if I had someone to play against that might just add to the fun. Icky font, though.

I replayed Super Mario World again with this thread in mind and came up with a few questions:

Why does hitting an enemy with a fireball conjure up a coin? Why is this inconsistent with the other titles?

It's consistent with all the later games.

On this note, what about Mario's respiratory system causes gold coins to replenish his air supply when underwater?

     
   

Sorry, just found the Mario emoticons.

I wonder if the Doki Doki Panic heroes are now technically apart of Mario continuity? They could be more characters for Mario Kart/tennis/party/etc.

Even if not, they're technically Nintendo characters, and could go to replace Snake and Sonic.

His mask looked kind of like a gas mask in Mario 2. Maybe he's some sort of radioactively altered goomba.

Wasn't that just for the shooting ones?

Yeah, been a while, it has.

Speaking of Mario 2... just what the hell happened there? (American version I mean)

Cosmos as in the science documentaries? Well, I'll consider that a compliment then. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 

All Yoshis are female.

B. S.

Prove it.

I still can't conceive of "Yoshi" as a species. To me there is a species called the Yoshis, and then there is one specific individual who is called Yoshi, as well. It seems more personal that way. Please no one disabuse me, I would be so sad.


(Yoshi is my favorite in N64 Super Smash, by the way)

I've never played it, but I think Noctis might be what you are looking for.

Dire Dire Docks -Super Mario 64

Now this is what I was talking about. I used to play that game so much and didn't even notice the music, now that I got the chance to listen to it properly I realize how much I love it. Thanks for posting this!

It actually is a rather beautiful piece of music. I never realized before. :D

Speaking of WRPG music and also Bioware, I think the Planescape soundtrack has some interesting parts. Not your typical orchestral fare even if it doesn't necessarily stand on its own.

I think the original Metroid has a very good moody, minimalistic soundtrack.

Title Theme

That actually ties into what I was thinking of last night, which is that maybe Bowser and Mario are actually friends, and the continual kidnappings are just to sharpen Mario's skills in case his girlfriend is actually kidnapped. This explains why Mario will amiably let bowser race against him in MarioKart. And this also explains why Bowser always puts some kind of axe or gigantic button that will bring about his own demise in his own castle, as well as why Mario keeps coming back from the "dead".

But that one's pretty good, GoldMatenes - I think the developers may actually have intended that, now that I think about it.

Haha, pacifist mode is a nice touch, though I can't score very high that way.

Great game.

Funny, I don't find Pink Moon that "depressing"... I find it sort of, I don't know, dreamlike or something like that. The lyrics are not very directly negative at all.

Really, I don't think Elliott Smith is that depressing either, except in a few select cases. His lyrics are mostly negative, but his music itself can be very uplifting. Plus most of it's totally brilliant.

Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon is another group with a lot of emotionally negative lyrics that ends up being great instead of lame.

And he's all the time being wrathful to boot.

Love your signature by the way.
