Wolfenstein 2009 by Raven Software was really good, I don't know why people completely ignored it but turned their inferior, gimmicky Singularity into a cult game.

I started checking out every NES game once. I was actually trying to find a song that I remembered from my dad renting the game when I was a kid (I have never found it and don't remember a thing about the game) but figured I would try all the games in the meantime. I think I got to Color a Dinosaur before I gave up.

i think steam sales cause mental illness because every user is guaranteed to buy at least one game they will never touch, until they end up with like 800 games and have only played like ten at most

I absolutely loved Raven's Wolfenstein 2009 and I did an extremely thorough Let's Play of it.

I am currently doing one of Singularity, which I also a massive fan of... but I never quite understood why people said it was so much better than Wolf 2009. For every individual thing that Singularity does better than Wolf09, Wolf09 did something else better than Singularity.

Singularity's upgrade system for weapons and powers was a feature tacked on in the final months of the game, with rather unexciting stat changes to your weapons and no visual changes. Wolfenstein's upgrades were magnificent. I loved fully upgraded the tesla gun so it fired out loads of streams of lightning that jumped between enemies, do electric melee attacks, and had expanded ammo capacity so that you could use it as the primary weapon throughout multiple missions. I also loved how you could upgrade your time-slowing power so that the shockwave when you activated it would petrify enemies. Or how upgrading the shield turned it into an instant-death flesh-melting forcefield.

I think it would have been awesome if Singularity had used Wolfenstein's hub town/resistance base idea, and had you visiting a resistance base between missions to get upgrades from Dr Barisov. Wasn't a big fan of the BIoshock/Dead Space style upgrade machines.

I was pleased to see that Wolfenstein The New Order re-used that resistance base idea, and even had Caroline return as the resistance leader. I remember some pre-release articles had claimed New Order was going to ignore Wolf09 and pretend it hadn't happened, which would have been an awful dismissal of a great, underrated game. (The journalists probably misunderstood a dev's comment about the supernatural powers not returning.)

Also manchildren don't buy expensive cars, they buy toys and poo poo buying an expensive car with money you've earned is not that. Is someone jealous?

"His minimal collection of furniture is almost all rented, including the springy beige sofa he got just a few months ago, after he arranged to have several video-game journalists over and realized he had nowhere for them to sit."

Buying a crazy toy and then not having the foresight to own essentials (like, chairs) is pretty manchildy. Not jealous, just confused as to why no one in games journalism has the balls to point out how ridiculous this guy is.

I don't know much about johnathan blow or his couch and I don't care but he makes gamers get really mad and scream a lot in a way that makes you embarrassed for them, usually that's a sign someone is actually Good.
