I deleted my Twitter about six months ago. The stupid on Twitter burns like habanero chili diarrhea. :)

My wife always buys me Thin Mints in bulk.

My favorite MAME games are all the old Nintendo and Konami arcade games, especially since Nintendo keeps giving us the NES versions of their games (always gimped in some manner) rather than the originals.

I do the same thing. I have a horrendous backlog of long games that I want to finish. But I like firing up YouTube and listening to gaming tunes I loved. Also been playing 8-bit Atari and MAME games on emulator.

My two favorite anime series are Ranma 1/2 and Ah! My Goddess. I've seen a lot of anime, but as far as series go, those are my standouts.

Super Metroid still stands head and shoulders over the rest of the series. As far as I'm concerned, it's possibly the most perfect 2-D game ever made.

You can buy all 5 volumes off of the PlayStation Store for PS3 now. I believe Namco even offers them bundled. Before that, 1 and 3 were cheap, 2 a little more pricey, while 4 and 5 were actually pretty expensive. 1 and 3 had all of Namco's biggest arcade games, while 2 had Namco's underappreciated if flawed third entry in the Galaxian/Galaga series, Gaplus. And Mappy.  4 and 5 were obscure as hell. I also wondered why I never saw Junior Pac-Man or Baby Pac-Man on these collections until I found out that those games were unauthorized games made by Bally/Midway back when they were Namco's US licensee. Given that Namco tends to treat Ms. Pac-Man (also originally an unauthorized product) like a profitable red-headed stepchild, not surprising that they disowned Junior completely.

My PS1 was pretty much a RPG machine, and how. Its RPG library was probably bigger than the RPG offerings on every console that came before it put together. Because I didn't have a lot of RPGs on any other computer or console I had at the time, I sort of went buck-wild on it.  FFVII got me to jump ship from the N64, and Square's other RPGs as well as games like Lunar 1 and 2, Breath of Fire III, and Tales of Destiny and Destiny II (Eternia) were icing on the cake.

Resident Evil 2 was probably my favorite non-RPG game on PS1, but as a genre, fighting games were the other genre I went for on PS1. From Tekken to Rival Schools to Bushido Blade to Ehrgeiz, I had plenty of fighters on PS1.

I'd say the DKC games getting yanked from Wii's VC probably did have something to do with legal issues between Nintendo and Rare/MS, and the two parties came to some sort of agreement so that Nintendo could post them on the Wii U VC.

Klonoa was the only PS1 platformer I gave a damn about. I rather liked it. Otherwise, the N64 was my go-to system for the genre in the late 90s.
