My bestie has a minecraft server and I have spent the last few hours making tunnels with glass floors and a river of lava underneath those glass floors.

I really enjoy the carefree nature of the game and it is nice to play interior decorator :D

Goodness I loved Braid.

There was something magical for me about that game. Those tricky puzzles would remain in my mind throughout the whole time I was playing it. I would be doing some work and mulling over how to get a particular piece and suddenly the answer would appear in my head and I could not wait to get home and try my thoughts out.

It was also backed up by having a truly beautiful soundtrack. The opening theme "Maeneum" is one of my most played songs because it is just so peaceful and gives me little goosebumps.


Even though there is no music, I am experiencing similar with the Witness and love the fiendish nature of the puzzles!

When people are saying REmake is it a different game to the Resident evil hd release that came out a little while back?

VideoGames
Aug 18, 2003
Oh neat! I like the resident evils a lot and got the hd version of 1 on my PS4 during a plus month. I played through the original resident evil 1 on my psx over and over again so it was really strange playing the remake. It was new and familiar.

I really enjoyed it and it is definitely superior to the original.

My favourites will always be resident evil 2 and code Veronica x. Love those games!

Because it's impossible to play wrong. If you ever lose it was one of the other 9 people playing wrong, not you who played perfectly in every way. Pat yourself on the back. Maybe buy yourself a $1500 virtual hat. You deserve it.

Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of the Dreamcasts established hardware versus the new hardware of the Ps2, but I was talking more in terms of gameplay. The Ps2 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into.

I agree. I owned a PS2 at the same time as knowing someone with a dreamcast, and I always got the feeling that the PS2 was hitting the same kind of cultural milestone that the NES broke through.

Which video game settings would you read a novel about?

I would read:

- Super Mario Brothers CYOA (I still own five books as they actually did release them :D)

- Planescape: Torment books. (I never played Planescape Torment, but I did read a .docx file that was the whole of the description & speech lifted from the game and arranged into a story. It was truly magnificent. I am glad I got to experience it in the best way for me as I am not very good at that style of game.)

- Quake and Quake II

- Horizon Zero Dawn

- Steamworld

- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I don't like crafting but I like hoarding crafting materials.

Ohh yes!

When I was much younger and playing my friend's cop of Tomb Raider, he watched baffled as I hoarded all of the healing packs. For some reason no matter how much health I had left, I did not use them (for doing this he would call me Mr. Medipacks and it became my nickname for a while). I liked having a huge stock for if the time came.

Prey has some amazing crafting, thinking about it. I love watching the crafter and recycler do their things :D

Now that I think about it I am hoarding medipacks in that game too.

I am a huge fan of analysis of my favourite forms of media (video games and movies and books).

It is awesome, to me, to learn new ways and themes of looking at things I love. Considering there is so much I love I am always overwhelmed at just how much is out there.

I thank you posters for linking some youtubes because I will devour it all! :D

Heck yes! But I am not sure how to make a game. This is wish it is quite the pipe dream.



This would be the closest kind of game, right now, that I could make. I love writing detective stories and if I was to make a game I would want to make a police one with a cool mystery and a Visual Novel is the only way I could currently create something.

I love current movies, past movies, and am sure to love future movies!
I have one of those cards that allows me to see films for free and I have used it for all the recent releases since I got it four years ago.

I like to be entertained and of all the films I have seen in the last four years at the cinema none have been unworthy of my time. I have always enjoyed something about what I have watched. Some have even been so astounding as to jump into my top ten of all time list :D

Hot Fuzz is so densely packed with great jokes and subtle setups to even greater jokes that all payoff spectacularly in the end and are made even better with every re-watch. It's basically a perfect comedy movie. Easily my favorite movie to watch once a year.

Oh I LOVE Hot Fuzz. I got to see a super advanced screening of it with all of the deleted scenes (and a few more) still in the film and absolutely no special effects about eight months before release. :D

I love Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg movies. My favourite is probably World's End simply because at the time I saw it, everything Gary King was going through resonated in the same way as I was going through very similar feelings. It is not often that a film syncs up to your own life and I was lucky that I had a bit of a way to release.
