I got’em, you got’em.

Games you wish you never bought.  Games you thought where going to be great or at least half decent and when you finally got it home, tore in to the box and slammed it in to you’re console/pc it wasn’t long before you realized you’ve been duped.

Me?  I bought Crusin USA for the 64.  Yeah, yeah… I enjoyed the arcade machine but man the home version just didn’t live up.  I hate that feeling of of dumb you get after you buy a bad game.  Needless to say I ended up trading it in for Turok.  I was much happier after that.

Let’s see… I remember getting Super Mario Land 2 hand being very disappointed.  To me the game just wasn’t fun and I thought that the bunny ears where just stupid.  I finished it but never played it again.  I think I traded it to a friends little sister for Super Mario Land which, I think, is much better.

What game duds do you have in your collection?

Looks like I’ve been tagged again peoples.  Here’s the run down this time.

Here are the rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about them self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people
and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

And away we go…

thing 1 – I love Beagles. ^_^
thing 2 – I started drawing toon smut at the age of 13.
thing 3 – If I didn’t get in to animation I was going to go for architecture.
thing 4 – I hide my anthro work from people because I’m afraid they’ll judge me.
thing 5 – I’m 50% Mohawk and 50% Dutch.
thing 6 – I was a closet Green Day fan for close to 10 years.
thing 7 – I married my high school girl friend.
thing 8 – I have Phimosis and a short frenulum.

Ooo… some personal stuff there at the end.  Meh… what do I care. ^_^

I won’t tag other people though.  I feel bad about bothering others. *^_^*

Write a one sentence game review. (you can do more then one)

Crazy Taxi – Quite possibly the best player vs the clock game ever made.

Mega Man 2 – The best example of turning a mediocre title in to a truly classic game by expanding and improving on everything in the prequel, but keeping game play exactly the same.

Shadow of the Colossus – So beautifully crafted and designed it became an instant classic before it was even released.

People will find a way to do so.

I remember hearing about how the first thing that people new with a new piece of technology is figure out how to do naughty or sexy things with it.

So true.

The most current example I’ve seen is in Soul Caliber 4’s character creator.  Leave it to perv-o’s around the world to not only begin to make sexy maid characters to fight with but pose them around for sexy shots.

Ahhhh…  This kind of thing makes me smile.  Why?  Because it just shows that sex is more apart of us then what most like to believe or want to believe.  Sexiness  is fun and should be fun, it’s a shame that there are people out there that look down on this kind of thing.

Way to go perv-o’s.  Way to help keep the world sexy ^_^

Have some time to kill and want to play quick game of something?

Check these out.

It’s a collection of simple browser games featuring a cat.  That’s it really.  The games are simple and the cat really doesn’t represent anything other then a character for the player to use as they play the games, but man are they addicting.  Seriously, the cat will be in one game on a ball, balancing on a rope trying to collect gems.  In another you’ll be be using a fan to blow a balloon (and the cat) around spikes or making sure the cat doesn’t fall off a pole as you try nd get him to the goal.

My favorite though is cat cave.  The cat will follow the cursor around as he swims around the deep looking for pieces of a triangle.  It’s just too much fun.  ^_^

The look of the games a super simple with only 3 colours and are all pixel based.  Total win in my design books.

Run over and take a look.  You’re bound to find one you like ^_^
