Read this and then made Jason read it. He really wants to play it, but I'm the one with the consoles. If he wants to pay for it, we'll both be playing it in the near future.
The limit for reality shows for me is Kitchen Nightmares, Hotel Hell, Hell's Kitchen, and The Amazing Race. The first three are kind of like watching a train wreck, lol.
There's a series called The Last Door that's a browser-based flash game in multiple chapters. It's free to play, and is done with old school graphics. Think survival horror point-and-click. I think Julian has reviewed them all on here. They're amazingly well-done and best played with headphones and the lights out.
Didn't do the survey. I don't have a smartphone, so most of the questions didn't really apply to me. Also, I find that sort of thing intrusive and creepy as hell. Not the survey, the delivery of ads via smartphone.
I got stuck in Limbo. I really should go back and finish it one of these days.
This conversation reminded me of this song:
Chrono Trigger is the game I always recommend for people looking to get into JRPGs.
Heh. I did some plumbing for my grandmother on Saturday before I drove back to Maine. Bought her a hand-held showerhead for her birthday and included the installation as part of her gift. I can also replace drain traps, sweat copper pipe, replace pvc water lines, turn water on and off to the buildings in the park, replace gaskets and washers, and replace all the guts in a toilet tank. Oh, yeah, and replace faucets.
Crystal Chronicles was on the Game Cube. It's not very good. No real story, and meant for co-op, but you have to use GBAs as extra controllers.
We had the first Atari Flashback console for a while. I never really played the original Atari much, so don't have that same warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia for the games that Jason did.
In other news...found my orginal copy of Wizardry in a box at my gramma's this past weekend, along with my maps! I kept the cover and the manual and the maps and pitched the rest. Felt bad, as my original data disk with all my characters was in there and I had to say goodbye to a really kickass party.
I wonder if I can get those chocolate covered Lays here... Would make life a whole lot easier for Jason sometimes, lol.
Glad your weekend was better than mine. I had to clear all my stuff out of my gramma's basement and garage, where my ex-brother-in-law stashed it. Had to throw away about 90% of all of it due to water and/or rodent damage. Made me sad.
