  1. Am I the only girl that games? I'm starting to feel a bit outnumbered here. I know there are other girls here, but not many. Are we a minority in the gaming world, or am I just missing something?

  2. Tell me I'm not the only one that sticks mostly to the old stuff. Cartridge systems. Atari, Colecovision, NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis. I play a bit of PS1 and PS3, but this post is for the old stuff. Who else is a classic gamer? What's your favorite classic game? Why? And no picking the major series like Zelda or Castlevania. I'm looking for more obscure games. Anything else is cool. If it's a movie title (F13) that's fine. If it's a relatively unheard of game, even better. For me it's Blaster Master. It's a perfect mix of sci-fi and fantasy. You follow your pet frog down a hole and find a world unlike anything you could have imagined. You take command of a tank (names Sophia) and have to fight through several stages to save the world. I suck at descriptions, but the game is really awesome.

    Here's the Wikipedia: Blaster Master

  3. If we're talking about more recent stuff, then every Assassin's Creed makes the list. If we're talking about slightly older stuff, then several come to mind. 

    Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (N64)
    The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii)
    Soul Caliber 2 (Game Cube)
    Donkey Kong series (SNES)
    Marble Madness (NES)
    Solar Jetman  (NES)
    T&C Surf Designs (surfing part) (NES)

    I could never figure out the damn surfing one T&C. Donkey Kong will send me from zero to psycho in 2 seconds. Twilight Princess just sucked. Soul Caliber was a major pain. I could only play it on the practice part where there was no time or health if I wanted to enjoy it. Marble Madness don't get me started. Solar Jetman was impossible. The damn craft spins uncontrollably with the slightest touch of the D pad. MK Mythologies was just a pitiful attempt to capitalize on the MK popularity at the time.

    There was one game, thankfully I can't remember the title, that I bought for PS3, and 20 minutes later I was taking it back to Game Stop. It was so horrible, I don't see how it ever got out of the prototype stage.

  4. I'll stick to the fighting games where you have a set list of characters to choose from. You pick one and you fight. Simple as that. Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and the like. mainly the ones that came out around the SNES era.

  5. A couple of my favorites were Silent Scope, and Dance Maniax. It's different from DDR. With DM, you use your hands over sensors instead of your feet. It was pretty sweet. Also one that I played constantly and was severely good at was Soul Caliber 2. Hook me up with Kilik, and you are going to get hurt.

  6. Well compare the base skill of hockey to other major sports. For soccer, football, baseball, and basketball, first you just have to be able to stand on the court/field. With hockey you have to be able to skate before you get on the ice. That means skating forward, backward, sideways, on one skate, and be able to stop on a dime. Also on a slap shot the puck can hit speeds of up to 90mph. That's a chunk of steel with a thin layer of rubber on it. And you have to catch it with a wooden stick on the ice when it's passed.

    I'm not trying to insult any sport as all take master talent and skill to reach the top level, I just think hockey takes more.

  7. Most horror movies bore me, since none are scary. But I like the supernatural and daemonic type of movies. I can't really pick any specifically, except Hellraiser. But only the ones that Doug Bradley was in. After he quit the series, I quit watching. He brought grace and manners to evil in a way no other could ever be compared to.

    My sentiments exactly! I love Stephen King. Of course I've seen Green Mile. I've also read the [really long!!!] book. I think I would choose Shawshank as well though. How do you interpret the last scene of the movie? Was it just Red dreaming? 

    I always thought Red actually did get paroled. But I always thought the old woman at the end of Titanic was asleep and dreaming at the end, whereas most people said she died and was in her own personal heaven.

    I adore The Shawshank Redemption -- what a film! It's definitely up there with my favourite movies of all time as well. Personally, I think it's leaps and bounds ahead of The Green Mile. I wasn't that enamoured with The Green Mile tbh. Another Stephen King drama adaptation that I love is Stand By Me. Wonderful piece of filmmaking!

    I can't believe I forgot Stand By Me. That one still takes my breath away to this day.

  9. Every part of my body except my feet, genitals, and ass have at least one tattoo on them. Yes my face and hands are included in the tattoos. I don't get ink just because I think it would be cool. Every tattoo I get has to have meaning for me. I have a couple that I'm going to cover up. One because the guy that did the tattoo, completely screwed it up and it looks like a pile of horse crap. Actually horse crap would look better. The other one, I'm getting covered for very personal reasons that I'm not going to divulge online.
