Since I usually game with my buddy Mark, and we usually play shooters, I haven't gotten into too many JRPGs, SRPGs or even RPGs really, but I really love what few I've played. It's hard to find the time outside of my usual "social" gaming to play them. I keep picking them up though. I'm super excited about Codename: STEAM coming probably Spring of 2015. I'm preordering as soon as there is a set date for it.
I liked Wolfenstein too.
Nice. I love doing that sort of thing: finding that game you want at some Gamestop near you.
Neat. I just picked up a bunch of Flashback consoles from the generation previous to NES. Now I'd like a NES flashback system. Have like 80 games installed on it and put a cartridge slot on it so you can play anything not included.
Just heard Julian Titus' name mentioned on Retronauts when they read off all the kickstarter backers.
The last rhythm game that you do has an achievement attached to it (maybe also a trophy for the PS3 version?). That made it doubly frustrating, but I managed it after a bunch of tries.
Also, I can finally play Venture on Colecovision.
I just picked up the other two. I'll post a photo sometime later this weekend. It's like getting all the old consoles again all in one swipe. I like that they all have the original controllers. The Genesis one lets you plug in cartridges too and the Atari one let's you plug in periferals. I have to get a paddle controller from my friend. It's the only way to play some of those Atari games. I wonder if a roller ball controller will work on it?
Did survey. Learned a bit about location based advertising. I personally hate ads on social media and especially on my phone. That companies can track you going into a store or even read the radio frequency of your car as you pass a billboard is pretty freaky. I think whether people think it's an invasion of privacy or not will not stop it from happening. They'll make it some sort of big game and everyone will have fun with it, while they attempt to manipulate the way you buy things. I'm not overly paranoid about it though. It's just commerce after all.
Broken Age Chapter I and Banner Saga. Both on Steam, both look awesome. I've been wanting to play them all year.
