I have no clue what an amiibo is. I am so behind the times.

Never really having played a Mario game, I have no Toad memories to look back fondly on. Need to get my old TV and Game Cube set up so I can play Paper Mario.

I was never as into FF as I was Dragon Quest. Last I heard, DQ 10 was going to be multiplayer, and that's not what I want. Oh, well.

Retro stores are awesome! I'm spoiled for choice in my area - Bull Moose music is a Maine-owned chain with stores all over the state and their retro games are very reasonably priced. Then there are several little indy stores, my favorites of which are Monster Box Fun Emporium in Portland that shares space with a really great comics store, and The Game Box in Topsham (I took SanAndreas there when he visited last summer).

I had no problem with Lego Indiana Jones and Batman. Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean were another story entirely!

Lemme know how it looks on PS3. I may be bad and spend grocery money on it and just not eat for a day or two...

I have always been amused by the fact that Hans is more likable than either of those two asshats.

Great article, Blake. So good I shared it on Facebook, I have a lot of musician friends on there.

The game that immediately sprang to mind for me was Journey. That's the only OST I've ever actually bought. That game would not have had nearly the impact on me without that music. I also like games like Dragon Quest VIII with the full-orchestral soundtrack, it heightens the experience for me in ways that computer-generated music doesn't.

He got what he deserved. That reminds me that it's time for my annual Christmas viewing of Die Hard and Die Hard 2.

Some of those vehicles were worse than others. The other miserable bit was towing mines and getting them to hit what you wanted them to.
