My favorite system is a toss-up between the PS1 (RPGs, RPGs, and more RPGs. That baby spoiled me!) and the PS2, which had a broader library but not as many memorable RPGs. The Gamecube is my favorite Nintendo console, however.
I'm sure some of that is the sheer volume of users and applicants they get there. It's probably a combination of crowd control and simply not having enough resources to vet everyone who wants to post there. However, I've read NeoGAF, and it's nothing special and certainly not worth waiting four years for approval to post there. I guess it's cool that it's well-known enough to attract industry insiders. Famously, Denis Dyack of Silicon Knights got NeoGAF's notorious banhammer upside his head. :)
Loved Punch-Out. Other than Xenoblade it's my favorite Wii game.
I just picked up Bioshock Infinite today myself. I was lucky enough to find a Premium Edition.
I never got into the whole spring break in Florida thing. I've never been to Florida and have never had a burning desire to go there myself, so I've never really understood movies about spring break. When I was in college, spring break meant upping my time at work to a full 40 hours for extra money, or if I had money, I went to Arizona to visit my family.
I started with Zelda in 1986 when it was brand-new, so I knew what to expect. Because I was experienced with Zelda, I found A Link to the Past to be a breeze because of the vast improvement of the controls compared to the original game. The original game had good controls for its time, but the SNES in general improved on the controls of the NES as much as it did the graphics and sound of the NES.
I still have my SNES box. Mine came with The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. :)
PETA are a bunch of animal rights shock-jocks. They've run ridiculous ads slamming Cooking Mama, probably because you can cook meat dishes in those games. They also ran an attitude slamming Mario for the Tanooki suit. They've been doing these antics for decades now. Ingrid Newkirk (PETA founder) was radicalized by Alex Pacheco, and PETA supports the Animal Liberation Front, which is an even more radical organization classed as a terrorist organization by Homeland Security.
Looks like you've been busy! Sometimes I get so tired of my job that I wish I could get an outdoor job like you have.
Hopefully Tecmo Koei will handle the next Atelier release better than they did with Ayesha. That's a shame. Ayesha is a good game, it didn't deserve the neglect TK America gave it compared to the good support TK Europe offered. It sometimes seems like the US is being isolated from the rest of the gaming world.
Always online = no sale. I refuse to support shitty practices that treat me like a thief. The publishers are doing a good job at attempted thievery with microtransactions/play-to-win.
