  1. Why don't they turn Day of the Triffids into a video game? It seems like a nice departure from the crowded 'zombie survival' genre, but not far enough away to scare unadventurous publishers.

      I see it in the popular action/strategy genre, but with a heart-breaking resource management, moral choice system.

      Actually the many hours of starving blind people begging for their lives might be psychologically damaging to gamers.

  2. Domark's F1 World Championship Edition might be the best open-wheel racer on Genesis, but it bugs me that Suzuka doesn't have a Ferris Wheel in it.

      Seriously, how little research would that have taken to get right?

      LOL! Best comment of the day. :)

  3. Well I was having a pretty good day until the drive home. 2 hours later I'm finally back home from work, 8 miles away. I had so many plans for when I got home, but I just don't feel like doing anything now. Maybe ever. I'm really shaken.

      Uh-oh. What happened?

      Let me guess.....Zombie attack?

      Hope you okay dude.

  4. My 'Hello World!' for the Action Max.

    1. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      I want to do a quiz game next. What a godawful system, though. I actually played it for the first time today (mostly to see if it was working before doing the demo)

      Boy, Nintendo really missed the boat, eh?

    3. Zach

      Well done. Wasn't familiar with Action Max, so I thought the video started with a title screen, and we'd see the actual homebrew momentarily.

  5. Can't wait to get home. I plan on trying my hand at an Action Max homebrew demo today. I have just too many ideas for the system.

  6. You know that feeling when you win an ebay auction for too little, and you just know the seller isn't going to ship it to you? I've been having that for 12 days now.

      Yep, I know what you mean. I won something I had a $70 proxy on for 99 cents. It has been only 8 days but they haven't said crap even though I paid the minute I won.

      I hear you guys here. The guy actually asked me what I wanted after about 3 weeks. The money or game I got the money back. What a jerk. Ebay needs to fix that system.

    4. greencoman

      greencoman

      I got the money back when I asked for the game. I immediately got a refund.

  7. Now that I'm playing with the Everdrive, I'm surprised to find that I prefer Zero Wing to the much-hyped MUSHA.

    1. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      The 'all your base' meme didn't hurt its case either. Whenever I think I'm getting sick of the game, I just mentally quote the intro until I'm right back into it.

    2. Jess Ragan

      Jess Ragan

      Really? Wow. I don't think MUSHA is one of Compile's best shooters, but how does it lose in a comparison to Zero Wing?!

    3. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      A big one is that MUSHA is more frantic than I like. It's hard for me to track what's going on. I feel the background is often used as a distraction. Zero Wing is slow and plodding, but extremely rewarding with its throw mechanic, and powerup cycle including '10-ups.'

  8. I SMELL NERDS!

    1. Austin

      Austin

      I smell.. Uh.. Well, I don't know what I smell. Air, perhaps? Maybe it would be nerds if I was in that sort of environment. ;)

      Sorry, won't take my link!
  9. Everdrive didn't come today. According to the tracking it made it to sorting and was labeled as "missent." Is that even a word? I hope it doesn't go all the way back to the sender, and goes to the right sorting office instead.

    1. the.golden.ax

      the.golden.ax

      missent usually indicates that the postal service sent it to the wrong zip code by mistake. Not that there is anything wrong with the address on the label. It may still arrive. I've seen that a few times.

  10. Just ordered a Everdrive MD. It may be the old one, but it'll still go great in my modded nomad.

  11. Bonus day at work today. Time to convert that into some video games that I'll probably never play. CD32 maybe.

  12. is on a fairly severe '3do bender.'

  13. Tried out the 360 wireless wheel for the first time today. What a hunk of crap. It "works" but I can't for a second forget that it's 'just a controller' or I will crash badly.

  14. Has bought yet another dirty game for saturn. Not that it matters, since I'm really lousy at mahjong, and even worse at japanese choose-your-own-adventure games.

  15. Remember to check your collection before ordering new games online. Luckily I managed to avert disaster--this time.

      Hehe you can't imagine how many times i have duplicated rpgs for various systems.

    2. bomberpunk

      i keep a list of my collection active on google docs. that way even in a store i can access it from my stupid-phone.

      It only takes once ... or maybe twice

  16. Played SMS for a few hours last night. Only my second time turning the system on. Had fun with a couple shooters.

  17. After an oncoming dump truck swerved into my lane trying to run me off the road, I've ordered a dash cam. At least I can youtube it next time.

    1. Crazy Climber

      Crazy Climber

      that is an AWESOME idea!! I have people almost hit me all the time, kudos reaper!

      I checked a lot of reviews and youtube vids and settled on the 'Carcam k2000.' Video looks good enough, cost me $37 shipped and has auto-record.

  18. Tried Gran Turismo 5 again today. 45 minutes of patching and is it just me or did they patch in a lot more load time. I hate GT5. Hate.

  19. 26 hrs into Xenoblade Chronicles. Holy cow is this a good game. Just arrived in Nopon Tree-Village. Each area has been more epic than the last.

  20. I didn't know Viewpoint was released on genesis. Great looking port too--I added it to my collection as soon as I found out.

    1. sqoon

      sqoon

      Excellent port of the Neo Geo game. Also a port on PS1 as well.

    2. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      It's the only version I have, and it's solid! A little slowdown, but since I suck at the game it's kind of a feature.

    3. bomberpunk

      bomberpunk

      ^ yeah, the slowdown makes intense parts... eh... not so intense.

  21. Got Xenoblade Chronicles today. Heck of a game. I wasn't sure I'd like the active battle system, but it turned out to be a non-issue.

    1. greencoman

      greencoman

      Game Informer gave it a 9.5 which means you can pretty much know that it is a great game.

    2. Reaperman

      They combined grinding and fetch quests in a way that made them quick, easy and fun. (!?)

  22. 'bad movie night' lesson #1: Never search for 1313. It's not as fun as you think it will be.

      They even managed to make shower scenes (a 100% 'bad movie night' surety) a bit boring.

    3. moycon

      moycon

      Aren't those 1313 B-movies catered towards the gay community?

    4. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      Yes. I was hoping that they would balance out the 'women in prison' genre that we were watching too many of.

  23. Browsing comments on ars technica's latest 'megaupload' article, it surprises me just how many of its readers are living back in the mid 1990's as far as their understanding of server technology.

      It bothers how many politicians are living back in the mid 1980s as far as their understanding of file storage.

  24. Is now a Miata owner. And yes, my new vagina is coming in quite nicely.

      I'd say they both have their strengths and that neither is really better. They are both awesome though, Miata's are wicked fun little cars!

      Nothing wrong with a Miata. More reliable than my Spitfire.

    4. HatefulGravey

      HatefulGravey

      Drop a 302 in it and make it a monster miata, that will make it much more fun.

  25. Rough night. FIAT wanted $3k over MSRP on the Abarth. There's no way I would do that.

      you have to get rough with those salesmen.
