I was an admin for a facebook page, and it was stale and monotonous until i started to get vulgar and threw some humor in. The page was a satirical thing, so it worked well. After a while i got bored of it and stopped posting though.

Im finally able to get enough time to reply, no thanks to mount and blade.

Yeah, there was a game at gr8bit where a bunch of people would control diferent parts of a space ship. They had a bunch of old computers and a projector set up to play it.

I definitely recommend getting around to skyrim and using some of the amazing mods for it. Its like one of the most modded gsmes ever, and for good reason. If you have the hardware for it, the game can be modded to be quite beautiful. Yeah, i would recommend checking it out when you have the chance. Cheap games and backwards compatability are the reason that i have a pc.

I honestly havnt watched many subbed anime besides for a couple, like mirai Nikki and Elfen Lied. Oh yeah, i watched the sub for ghost in the shell too. Sometimes the dubs are just too terrible. The terrible american pop references are usually worse in the mangas for me because all i really read is fan translated, because it comes out before the official one, and way before the anime equivilent.

Yeah i was probably the weird ship game on pc that id never heard of, it was pretty fun. Not many people were interested in it. I stopped by the table for a little bit and it was kinda funny because of the church thing right next to it, Im sure they were a little uncomfortable. I didnt look at the comic there, but i did go home and read it.

Yeah mednafen is really accurate and it doesnt upscale the 3d models and shit. Im guessing it would run a lot better and stuff because it doesnt really have to do much else but emulate. If i were to play with something like that, id have to pull out my crt monitor. Ill probably just use expse for now, and i kinda like the upscaling. Im gonna use pcsx2 for ps2 because yeah, there doesnt seem to be a better one.

Mods are great, especially for games like skyrim. I usually play through the first time with lore friendly type of mods, and then have fun with whatever looks like it would be fun to put in. Youve played a lot of oblivion, so you likely know how it is. Not sure if youd played much skyrim.

 havnt played many translated games, but ive read a few fan translated mangas with american pop culture references that make no sense in the setting. Id much rather have a note on the side explaining some japanese reference thats part of the original japanese version.

I havnt heard of the snes games you mentioned, but i think ive heard of the technu games. Ill check them out.

Yeah if you go to Jafax Ill probably show up. I learned about Satan Ninja at GR8bit live. As to whether or not theyll accept you, probably not. But hey, its definitely worth the try.

The gameplay for morrowind is a bit different, but its also similar. There are small things that i didnt like, like the combat, and random other annoying things like the fact that you have to read through journals a ton to figure out where to go, and that it doesnt tell you whether taking something would be stealing or not. Ill probably get the second game running after i get my other emulator shit figured out. Right now im trying to get ps1 and 2 emulators to run well, and im trying to get my ps4 controller to work with my pc, which ive gotten figured out. I honestly just want to beat kingdom hearts, because my cousin broke my ps2 a while ago, and i never got to finish.

I know a couple friends who would get into Satan Ninja, so ill probably bring it up next time we hang out for Lan or DnD or something.

Ive never played the online for GTA 4, but i understand how annoying hackers can be at times. I had left 4 dead 2 on xbox a while ago and it was impossible to find a nonhacked lobby. The game was a ton better without them. I bought it on steam for a tenth of the price and its soooooo much better, because there arnt any cheaters.

Ive heard of pokemon rom hacks actually, because there are dozens of them, but its nice that people care enough for games like these to have dedicated modding communities.

Yeah i've lived in grand rapids my whole life.

Morrowind is really really good, but i just cant seem to get into it because of how games were at the time. Ill probably just overhaul the shit out of it and get a much better experience. Ill have to figure out dosbox, and play the originals but i heard that the second game was much better.

No i definately wasnt alive in the 80s, but my parents are the type of people who kinda stay in the 80s, so i know a decent amount from them. Ive played a shit ton of random old games, like ogre battle, the first couple marios, metroid, and some other shit, i know how gaming was (plus im really into videogame history). But yeah, the comic is just awesome, especially the 80s tone. I did not end up a serial killer or anything, and im probably the most sane of my friends, but thats not saying a lot.

Its not that i didnt enjoy V, its just that i had a lot more options, and all i had was the story, because i didnt have internet. Most of the fun is online.

You can mod roms? Lol ive never heard of doing that to be honest.Ill probably play thtough the final fantasies on my phone when i get bored. Ill probably get a steam card before the sale ends and pick up a bunch of final fantasies.

I learned about the fallout restoration project before i knew anything about satan ninja or anything, kinda stumbled across trying to be able to play the game in widescreen, I had no idea that someone in my area would have anything to do with it.

Oblivion is also the first elder scrolls game I'd played, i played it my cousins house around the time that it came out, and i loved it, thought it was the coolest shit I'd ever played. I put hundreds of hours into that, the did a bunch of research into the series and decided to try out morrowind. Morrowind wasn't exactly what i was used to, and it was really frustrating for a long time because it has like more of chance to hit type of system and stuff. Didnt play a ton of it because i soon bought skyrim, and i played the shit out of that, like an embharasing amount of time. I tried to play the first two, but i couldnt figure out dosbox because its way before my time, so i just kinda told myself i'd do it another time.

Grand theft auto was my real introduction into gaming. My moms cousin was staying with us and he had a ps2, and a copy of san andreas which had just came out, and i played that non stop for days because i thought that was amazing. I wss really young, and id played a decent amount of games before, but that was my gateway. Ive regularly played alllll of them since them, and actually a lot less gta 5 than the others. I bought saints row 2 because it was cheaper than gta 4 at the time, and i heard it was good. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, and im pretty sure its my favorite one of them all. Three and four got really ridiculous in order to seperate themselves from gta, and there was the whole thing with thq shutting down and deep silver taking over the franchise.

Ive played a decent amount of the early final fantasies, and i honestly dont remember much, but the DnD elements seem apealing, because my friend just recently got me into DnD. Im used to the newer ones, especially twelve, so itd be fun to go back and play the older ones. I know a decent amount about dark souls because my best friend is fucking obsessed with the game, and ill probably pick it up on steam the next time i see a dirt cheap deal on it.

Lol thanks for the lengthy and awesome replies. Im a bit young, so i dont know much about the days of double dragon or anything but I've played the original fallouts, and i actually played through the second one with the fallout restoration project and it's awesome by the way. I do a ton of emulation, and i've been planning on doing some fun old lan parties with a couple friends for games like doom and counter strike, but we haven't really found the time to do that. Most of what i play are things like Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Saints Row/Grand Theft Auto. I used to play a lot of pokemon, like a lot, but then i decided that i didnt really feel like buying the newest system just to play it, because it'd basically be a $200 pokemon machine. I did play through a decent amount of Final Fantasy 7, because I found it on the sidewalk one day along with a memory card, which was kinda weird, and ps1s were $5 at game changers, so why not? I do want to play final fantasy 9, but ill probably emulate it on my pc to save a bit of money, i heard its reallly underrated. As for my Steam wishlist, its pretty bad. Steam always takes my money when they have sales and stuff so i always spend irresponsibly and use money i was supposed to spend on other things. I really do love videogames, its most of what i do, but its getting hard to find the time sometimes with things like school, homework (more school), and my damn cell phone. Anyway, you guys are awesome!

    Just wondering what modern games you play, if not what were your favorite older games? Im a big fan of the original fallouts, aswell as the new ones, even though theyre completely different. Stuff like that.
