@Grindspine mmmm old crown.  We need to go soon

I am free today (Sunday) for a drink at OC.  Today is the only day that I have free for at least the next week.

The first X was the third mega man game I beat, with only 2 and 3 before it.

The original was brutal, 2 - 6 weren't difficult, and i don't remember playing 7 on until x. X was my favorite by far. x2 - on i never played either. I've heard they were pretty rough

I did beat Mega Man, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (only once), along with Mega Man X.  Any Mega Man games after that, including the ZX games, were crazy hard.  I just could not dedicate myself to beating them.  The original series really started getting stale after 4.  5 was playable, but nothing new.  6 was just boring after the originals.  I still think the peak of the series would have been Mega Man 2, 3, and Mega Man X.

Pacman

Pac Man had 256 levels to the end, actually, as did most of those old, seemingly endless arcade style games from the Atari era!

Is it weird that I still have an original NES, the NES Classic, an original SNES, an SNES classic, and still have a working Playstation and am tempted by this?

Of course, it will need to have Tekken 3, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Castlevania: SOTN to actually be worth it.

Go Old Crown instead.

I have zero thoughts about forum background software.

Get it.  It is a great SC2 expansion and it does share some similarities with the fabled StarCraft Ghost without being first person.

Interested, but having a tough time scheduling game time lately.

As much as I do like Castlevania and Final Fantasy soundtracks.  The Resident Evil (movie from a game) and Mortal Kombat (also movie from a game) soundtracks still stand out.

Lately I have been listening to some of the Nier: Automata soundtrack though.

Take a page from the Clone Wars or Star Wars Rebels cartoons. Thrawn and Asokah are awesome, use them.

So much yes!  Ahsoka is my favorite Jedi.. almost jedi.. not really quite an almost once was retired jedi?

@Grindspine .... weird... we've had a few of those pop up lately.  I'm thinking some of the security is being over zealous... I already have a host ticket open for another one I was encountering.  Let me know if you can get in from this email.  If it's cool, I'd like to test with  you a little on that to I can report it to the host - might be a config issue. 



buh... happy afterbirth.

I saw another "403 Forbidden" today.  My birthday is a forbidden topic!

StarCraft the movie!  Oh wait, Starship Troopers did that in the Zerg context.  Oh, StarCraft the movie on the Protoss side!  Wait, was that Independence Day?

I have an NES Classic and SNES Classic, mostly because I had rented many games back around 1990, but not bought some of them that I really enjoyed.

That being said, the nostalgia wears off quickly, much like with my barely played Sonic Mega Collection PS2 title.  On top of the nostalgia being quite temporary, the lack of production made both very hard to get.

At this point, since the original Xbox is not supported, I have considered if it would be worth modifying.

2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 (still)

Tostitos corn ships and ginger brew. 

Ah, I thought you were talking about the email that I got telling me that I was mentioned in a topic.  When I clicked the topic, I got a 403 forbidden message.  I was like, "What?  I am forbidden from my birthday?"

A co worker of mine once said, for a belated birthday greeting, "Happy afterbirth!"

On that lovely note, thank you for the wishes!

I still play sc2 here and there.  The game mode depends on my mood.

I have yet to beat Mega Man X2 or X3.  Mega Man 7 was rough.  I beat that once, then took it out of my SNES and never played it again.  I hate that game 

Good times.  I miss LAN parties!

It is a fun romp, but can be finished within a few evenings of playing.

ok

Guitar, skateboard, pet ratties.. 

Great movie.  It is impossible to talk about the ending without invoking spoilers and the other Marvel Cinematic Universe movies though.

I have played one night with Spartan and MasterMario, but need to revisit the game.

Don't die? 

I played a bit with my nephew joining a game.  I will have to invest a bit more time to it.

The necromancer expansion was a welcome nostalgic foray into Diablo II days.  I have not had much time to play it lately though.

I would be willing to play a bit more.

I played quite a few games that I had not touched.  Some of those games gave me the impression of, "Oh, yeah, I should play through more of this when I get a chance."  Several left me with the impression of, "No wonder I had not bothered to install this before."

I have many games that I picked up in those Steam sale packages where I bought a package to get one or two games cheap, but ended up with several games being added to my library.

Bloodstained Ritual has been in the works for so long.  I really hope that it does not flop.  It has been far too long since a solid Konami Castlevania (Metroidvania) game has made an appearance on a full console rather than a handheld system.

It looks like Valve realizes how many Steam users have massive backlogs.  This holiday weekend is all about spring cleaning!
