SNES was great. And that's cool you got $20! I can't say I worked for free either, as the margarita my brother got me (Coronarita, I should say), was about $8.50, and the burger my dad got me was $8.99, plus taxes I may have technically made out with more than $20.
Good times indeed!
Sweet! I actually never got into Zelda when it was on SNES, it looked boring to me at the time, and my older brother's girl friend (that space is there for a reason, they were just best friends growing up) had it, but every time I played it, I just died, and got upset at those guys on the bridge with the arrows.
I played a bit of it through emulation, and now I can appreciate how much less hand holding there was in it than 3D Zeldas, and hell, I didn't think I'd like Ocarina of Time until I bought it towards the end of the N64's life, when Majora had been released already. Now those 3D titles are some of my favorite games.
At least I haven't stayed totally stagnant from when I was four until now. lol
It was an awesome system; so much so, I kind of want my own. Maybe a hybrid of old consoles like coolseltzer mentioned.
I've never been a huge JRPG, strategy, tactics, etc. gamer, but SNES was great for those from all accounts I've read. It was also great for action/platformer gamers like myself that prefer the pick-up-and-play variety. I think only the PS2 would rival it in terms of library quality and diversity, and I know you love collecting those PS2 games. Both great systems.
Yeah, that would probably be the best bet. Personally, I kinda want that Nintoaster thing or whatever it's called in AVGN videos.
Considering I don't own a Wii, don't plan on owning one or a Wii U, and never played the series past Melee, I don't think I can have much of a strong opinion on this. So no fits will be thrown. lol
From what I'm seeing on Google Images, I do like toon Link as well as the more realistic Link in that game, as far as aesthetically.
Yikes. I hope at least she got a decent sum for it, or did she know what she was doing with it?
Well, they look to be around $20-$40 on Amazon if you want one...
That's not surprising. For many people, that thing is the golden age of gaming. Not even "represents," just is. lol
Have a lot of great memories playing it myself, even opted to play it over my friend's 360 in college. Street Fighter II: Turbo is just too damn fun.
That's cool you have an EA friend, I wish I had one. lol Sounds like a sweet deal.
Binary Domain does look awesome.
As for rape, with context and not doing just for yucks, but giving it the gravity it deserves, it can be implemented into a good story. There's a Clive Owen one called I'll Sleep When I'm Dead about Owen avenging his younger brother who was raped and killed by the mob guys he used to work with. And there's I Spit on Your Grave which I have yet to see the second part of Cinema Snob's review for, but it's been called everything from "trash" to "female empowerment fantasy" (cause she gets her revenge), apparently.
But it's a disgusting act no matter what the setting, so I understand your stomach bile reaction to it, especially in a dumb zombie flick where it's just not needed, and will be avoiding that movie. I'll also be avoiding I Spit On Your Grave for that matter, but at least that one seems like it took the matter seriously with proper gravitas.
