I miss all those magazines too. I used to even follow the journalists as they transitioned to podcasting, video and other web sites once magazines faded out. Now, though, I rarely see any of them of follow any of that. Too bad. Those were fun times.
Why isn't Sonic sighted at Sonic, the fast food place?
I still have my PS3 Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls games. I always want physical copies of those from when they first came out.
With the DQIII remaster on the way (November), I'm super excited to see them remaster the whole series. I managed to miss those DS games.
He used to drive himself but not since his shoulder's started going on him.
The pixel remaster of FF6 was very high on Metacritic when it came out. I look forward to playing it. I loved the FF1 remaster a lot.
If Bowser's Inside Story is better than Partners in Time, I'm going to love it.
DQVIII was a lot of fun. I remember Gamestop was running a lot of sales on PS2/Xbox stuff and I was picking up a lot of games, some of which I knew little about other than they were popular or had good reviews. DQVIII was one of them. I started playing and my friend did too, and we played it at the same time. He completed the darn thing while I burned out near the 100hour mark. I wish they'd bring out a remaster for consoles. I was not interested in the 3DS port. I loved seeing the world on a big screen.
I work on weekends too. I usually wait to see what Con my friend wants to go to and then take a day off for it. He's in a wheelchair, so I'm the designated driver for these things.
I'm going to rent the Super Mario 3D All-Stars game from my library. Gamestop wants $70 for it. No way.
Its so weird how music games and also Toys-to-Life games just vanished. You would think at least one franchise would retain enough interest to keep going. I know I want another Toys-to-Life game. I think Rocksmith is still around though. You use a real instrument with it, not toy ones though.
Oh, right, PAX. I had forgotten it's been so long since I considered going to one. I have a few local ones my friend and I go to like Retro Con, Too Many Games and the one in September I forgot the name of already.
Cool! All I have around me that do video game promotions, that I know about, are a few Kung Fu Teas. I was just looking at a new one I found to see if there was a promotion for maybe Luigi's Mansion 2, but I didn't see it.
You are lucky. I always wanted to go to E3 but never did. I used to follow it every year until they stopped having it. This year I went to a local convention, watched the Xbox reveal and Nintendo Direct, and watched a video on a model building convention in Japan. I'll be going to another real world convention in Sept. So we still got loval conventions at least. E3 was the big show however. That, CES and the Penny Arcade Con (is it still going?). I do miss E3. It feels like gaming really doesn't have a show anymore. Although, there's the game awards show in November. I usually watch highlights though.
