Gaming

I had Sim City too, cept it was on the computer my parents had.

Theme Park is a Sim creation; think it was the same thing. Could spend hours and hours making a theme park, adding extra caffine to the coffee, making lazy workmen work (the mechanics had to be told to fix a ride, or else they'd just stand there and watch it burn. O_o) and of course, the thugs who'd show up sometimes and pop balloons of customers and beat up entertainers. XD

I still yearn for the games made for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis.

I wish I had a Wii cuz they apparently have a selection of Megadrive games. -.-

Actually they really don't have much good stuff. You should get a Gametap account, and a video game controller that plugs into your PC via firewire. www.gametap.com

Also has a great selection of older family games, if anyone besides me would enjoy the novelty of those.


*noticed this was already discussed and turned down, but I'm leaving it up here in case anyone is interested in Gametap generally*

I miss the storylines from the old games. No offense to our administration, but for once in my life I would like to read a newpaper headline saying, "President has been kidnapped by ninjas."

I just found out that there's apparently a patch for Sonic 2 where you can play as Knuckles... and the Special Stages are way dumbed down. XD I'd love that, cuz those bloody Special Stages drove me insane in the original game.

That originally worked with the Genesis, via the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge. The Sonic & Knuckles cartridge had a lid you could flip open, and then attach Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 to it and play those games as Knuckles. Pretty revolutionary for it's time.

I was on WoW last year, and I was constantly coming in to work 2-5 mins late, cos I'd say "I have to be off at 9".. and then 9:05.. 9:10... 9:15.........bugger, I have to rush now.....

So, I got over it, and gave up on MMO's, though I did end up buying (2nd hand) LOTRO and SW:G... and I let them sit for over 6 months.

I opened up LOTRO a couple of months ago, and I've been on that since. 'Fortunately' (in a very slim definition), the kin I'm in is mostly US, so I don't see many of them.. and those I do see aren't my level (they've mostly maxed, except for the alts, who are way behind me)... thus, I end up solo-ing my way through.... and thus, call my own shots with my time.

But I still end up playing instead of... oh, you know, study! Or doing assignments... or cleaning the house....... or anything else that might actually be important (including watching the stove while I'm cooking.... hmmmmm)

Sure was. XD

The Special Stages were so annoying whenever you had a spazzy Tails with you; he'd always lose you rings by crashing into bombs. -.- But playing alone, you still had to get the same number of rings. However, Knuckles only has to get half the amount that Sonic or Sonic and Tails have to; why I have no idea. XD But sounds like a hell of a good idea to me.

Maybe it's just cause Knuckles rules?

[Lace Neil Singer]

I believe it is. XD

Is it that obvious that he's my fave ever Sonic character?

I had a crush on him when I was 10. My sister had a crush on Tails. It's you know, little kid stuff, not like zoophilia or whatever.
