Borderlands 3 was pretty big at PAX. I got a mask at their booth that I gave to my brother Jeff. Gearbox makes those games, right? That company is just a couple of miles from my house.
So out of curiosity, do you remember any games that I've reviewed that saved you from buying them?
Of course I would name my pet moose Bullwinkle. What else would you name a moose? I'm not sure a moose would like the Texas heat, though.
I didn't even know there was a GamerDad news feed!
I just really liked that they put references to Servebots in there. Love those guys.
Yeah as a kid, I didn't really notice a crash either.
You know, I know a lot about arcade cabinets, owning some and being to arcade auctions and all. And as far as I know, 'marquee' and 'side art' are the correct terms for those things.
I never liked this game. Even as kids my friend and I thought it was dumb that one guy was going to take on an entire army with just a knife. We rented this game once on the NES and made it to the second level once. The Pizza Inn near my house also had the arcade version for a short while.
In other parts of the world, this game is known as Green Beret. For a while, Konami would call it part of the Contra series, which I don't understand since it's nothing like Contra. But they also put Scramble as part of the Gradius series even though those two games are barely alike.
One neat thing about Christmas at Disney World is that they have stands everywhere where you can get a Christmas cookie and munch on it as you walk around the park.
I loved watching my brother play Dead Rising. I would make him play through the whole game with a Servebot mask on his head (those were the big yellow LEGO man looking things).
You know what's really awesome is Disney World at Christmas. It can get really crowded, though.
Yeah I know about that "You almost became a Jill Sandwich" quote even though I've never played a Resident Evil game either. In the first Dead Rising game, one of the restaurants at the food court in the mall is called "Jill's Sandwiches!"
I played all those arcade games you mentioned back then except I don't remember Front Line as a kid (I did play it later on the collections). It's weird that I don't remember that one, though, because my arcades usualy had every other Taito game out there at the time.
