Console Game Poll vol. 1 - Vote for the best 3rd Generation Console Games (NES, Sega Master, Atari 7800) here! (Poll Deadline: October 13th)

Shadowgate IMO is kinda cool but basically irritating, far more irrational "puzzles" than the worst of Sierra.

for a kid with no PC until 2001, they were revelatory

oh man, thanks to archive.org my crappy seanbaby knockoff nintendo review page from 2000 is still viewable online, complete with images.

Here's a screen grab I just made from from Deja Vu.

This is what happens if you click -hit- on the unconscious woman you find in the trunk:

ugggggggggggggggggh

let alone a larynx!

oi

so yeah i would have a preference for 5-10 a day not 20 a day but that's just me

I would rather quicker - the ability of dudes of a certain age (IE me) to wax nostalgic about video games of their youth is not really the guttering flame of free speech on the Internet.

NB I will totally regret this point of view when we get to the PS2.

Alright. I think my plan now is about 15 a day, which isn't slow or really fast either. Starting tomorrow, ending the end of next week (weekend off). Only exceptions will be last day (top 10) and first day (everything below 100). should be something like

We: 1??-101
Th: 100-86
Fr: 85-71
Mo: 70-56
Tu: 55-41
We: 40-26
Th: 25-11
Fr: 10-1

Numbers aren't precise due to some awkwardly placed ties here and there but that's basically my rollout plan, which i am writing down so i have to commit to it.

also i have no idea why i am committed to the BIG SECRET of how many games are in the first day. meh whatever

What are you hiding

i'm not generally one for speedruns, but watching the way that person takes the piranha plants like it's nothing... my ten-year-old self would have passed out, and here in the present day my mouth is hanging open.

he also does some weird stutter step backward jumping that looks borderline glitchy

he does a few glitch exploits. kotaku did a short thing on it yesterday, i think (i'd link but it's banned at work), and their article contained a link to the superior twitch.tv version of the video which features his crazy concentration-face as well as a real-time heartrate monitor

lol at the insane heartrate spike in the waterworld and his micdrop at the end
