In Topic: Kickstarter -- GameTable Online (Classic board/card games)

Today, 7:15 PM

Yeah, I suspect that despite being around for a long time a lot of folks don't know about GameTableOnline.  If anyone would like to try a game for free, please send me a PM here and I'll arrange a time to meet with you there -- as a mod, I can extend offers for free.  It's very cheap and reasonably priced, you can earn free games and other goodies, and tournies are done on a regular basis.  I found the site by accident a few years ago, helped out, and that's why I recently got bumped up to being a mod.  Axis and Allies brings most of the traffic, but there's many fun games there.

Plus also the founder of Namco said that the Yakuza tried to front him money for his new business.  SInce they are really the Japanese version of the mob, I'd say it counts.  Konami also had problems with the Yakuza early in their history.

In Topic: INTV Games Other than Spiker Sold in Baggies?

Today, 6:18 PM

Well, according to the BSR website, INTV did sell 'some games by baggy' until 'costumers complained'.  Note how they said SOME.  So that makes it sound like more then Spiker got that treatment.

In Topic: What was the greatest year for the Super Nintendo (SNES)?

Today, 6:07 PM

What good games came out in 1993?  I'm sure there were some, just drawing a blank now.  And wasn't Donkey Kong Country 1996?

In Topic: Modern gamers don't know how to play Metroid

Today, 12:39 PM

Lot of good comments here about old vs modern game players.  I consider myself in the 'old' game (born in 76) but still play modern games, so I can see both sides of the picture.

Older gamers are better at reflexes, memorizing things, finding their way around without any help, and being patient.

Modern gamers are better at figuring out complex puzzles, trying things in new ways, split second decisions (different then reflexes) and getting everything out of a game.

I enjoy playing Fallout: New Vegas just as much as River Raid.

But everyone who has commented on how things were before the Internet is so correct. ;)
