You'll definitely avoid the dreaded "you are such a nerd" response with the dulcet tones of Aztec Camera.

whenever i see this thread title i always thing that an hour doesnt seem like a particularly remarkable amount of time to have played a video game

i actually tried playing this for the first time the other day, there was a free flash version on the net somewhere. But i was eating lunch at the time and so had to play with one hand.

Did I dream it or didn't someone once put the OP of this thread through one of those text-to-speech video hoonja-doonjas? Scanned through the thread and couldn't find it, made me :(

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 16 August 2011 16:34 (twelve years ago) link

yes someone did, i remember that. but no idea where it is sorry

Somehow it's even funnier when it's spoken out loud like that.

Dunno, sounds like he had just the right amount of contempt for the boards and self-loathing for posting on them to make up your average ILE poster.

g-kit knows us so well (way upthread)

Woohoo!!! Thanks for relinking that! Read the same series of nine paragraphs at the top of the thread for a minute or two? I DON'T THINK SO. I think I'll HEAR THEM READ 3 times.

Yay! I remembered it was from xtranormal, but my ILX search turned up nothing.

Fight the same series of wimps in the forect for an hour or two? I DON'T THINK SO. I think I'll BEAT THE GAME 3 times.

too much.

Nhex, Thursday, 21 February 2013 16:06 (eleven years ago) link

I can't immediately restart games again. I think the only one I ever beat multiple times in the same playing season was Dino Crisis like 13 years ago

Whatever happened to GZeus, anyway? I gave Tombot mod powers on here explicitly to fuck with that guy.

The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:10 (eleven years ago) link

ha you know that he is a customer at my store right? iirc he pretty much swore off forums because his personality did nod jibe well with the forum experience, which was a pretty good call i think.

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:12 (eleven years ago) link

oh dear. you actually knew this guy!?

Nhex, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:15 (eleven years ago) link

oh yeah - he actually is pretty much the same irl. he will probably be in later today, i will say howdy from ilg for you all and give him your email addresses and home telephone numbers

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:18 (eleven years ago) link

Oh very good, always nice to keep in touch

The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:46 (eleven years ago) link

make sure you give him a special "die in a fire" "hello" from me

I havent played this game yet, am sort of waiting for the perfect time. It may happen soon! I'm so lookin forward to it...

I'd buy the t shirt but I'm pathetic that way. GZeus was a legend. Interesting he wasn't a sock.

three weeks pass...

On Wednesday I played Chrono Trigger for over an hour, on my SNES, because I was too tired to do anything else.

I'm glad GZeus wrote this because if he hadn't I would probably come here and write something as RANDOMLY FILLED WITH EXPLOSIONS OF CAPITAL LETTERS and references to how my DNA has been PARTIALLY REWRITTEN TO INSTILL CHRONO TRIGGER INSTINCT etc

So many things about this game are done so well -- I know the game has been praised to death but the design is so confident, the story is so sinewy, the world(s) is (are) so hangout-friendly (the fair alone? good god), the stakes raise so RIGHT... if this post had been about any other game I don't think it'd be ILX legend becase GZeus was 100% right (in addition to 200% funny).

one month passes...

I just started playing this on ZSNES. I had started a game a week ago and didn't realize it didn't automatically save upon staying at an inn, so lost the first hour. To make up for it I mashed the ~ key so grinding and getting back to that spot would be fast. Probably a bad idea, now I want to use it in nearly every fight.

Playing any emulated jrpg with a controller button mapped to fast-forward is key. That's how I was able to beat Earthbound the first time without going nuts.

i feel like this is actually more of a waste of time on some level

the bitcoin comic (thomp), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 10:32 (eleven years ago) link

anyway i'm replaying final fantasy vii in a fucking PAL copy on an original playstation so i don't even know

the bitcoin comic (thomp), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 10:33 (eleven years ago) link

i never would've gotten through Earthbound without the skip key- i doubt i would've made it all the way through if i had a hold of the original SNES cart for more than a rental back in the day. the grind in that game is nuts towards the end

Nhex, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 14:12 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah! so otm

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 15:45 (eleven years ago) link

i totally get that attitude, but it's like sometimes you gotta get through the badly-designed parts to get to the good stuff, i'll give up the badge of honor on certain games, especially the older i've gotten
