Yes, you're absolutely right. Of course, you might say it's five, since there are two in the Castlevania pack.

WORDS WITH FRIENDS

Okay, last call! I'm packing these things up this weekend, and at some random point during the next 24 hours I'll stop accepting new or changed lists. Here's the current request count: Advance Wars: DoR 2 Animal Crossing: Wild World 3 Brütal Legend 1 Castlevania HoD/AoS double pack GBA 3 Contact 1 Drilldozer GBA 1 Fable 2 1 Hotel Dusk 2 Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 1 Meteos 4 Prof. Layton and the village 2 Prof. Layton and the box 3 Resident Evil 4 1 Rythm Paradise 1 Splinter Cell: Double Agent 2 Super Mario Galaxy 3 Table Tennis 0 Tetris DS 2 Tomb Raider: Underworld 2 Touch Detective 2 Warioware: Touched 2 Yoshi's Island DS 1 Zelda: Minish Cap 4 Zelda: Phantom Hourglass 5

In respect for your experience and situation, we abstained from colliding cars whilst playing last night.

If you're pointing a pistol at someone, and you want to indicate that you are about to fire, we all know that you proceed to cock the gun, increasing the tension of the situation. However, does this mean that if someone is pointing an uncocked pistol at me, I have a very good chance of lunging at him/her and wrestling it out of the person's hands? Is it hard to see if a gun is cocked or not for a gun layman?

John Williams playing Cavatina reminds me of Quake 1, or rather Worldcraft, the map editor.

First of all, I was making a subjective statement. We don't all have to agree on this. Second of all, Lucidity is crap.

Although this isn't the right thread for it, I can say that I haven't always disliked hard games. When I was a young boy, I could spend countless hours playing games that were next to impossible, like Dragon's Lair. Now, having started to feel death's cold embrace growing tighter for each passing day, I've come to loathe anything that makes me replay stuff over. Essentially, I don't get any pleasure from games that makes you become better by trying things over and over, and only accept games that get more difficuly at the same or lower rate than my skill increases. Also, what? I thought this was out already, and now I see it's not out until January?!

Sign me up, if there is such a thing.

An update on the number of requests I've gotten for each game. Advance Wars: DoR - 2 Animal Crossing: Wild World - 3 Brütal Legend - 1 Castlevania HoD/AoS double pack GBA - 3 Contact - 1 Drilldozer GBA - 1 Fable 2 - 1 Hotel Dusk - 0 Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 - 1 Meteos - 4 Prof. Layton and the curious village - 2 Resident Evil 4 - 1 Rythm Paradise - 1 Splinter Cell: Double Agent - 2 Super Mario Galaxy - 3 Table Tennis - 0 Tetris DS - 0 Tomb Raider: Underworld - 2 Touch Detective - 2 Warioware: Touched - 2 Yoshi's Island DS - 2 Zelda: Minish Cap - 4 Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - 5 Also, I found Prof. Layton and the diabolical box lying here. If anyone wants it, send me a new list with it in it.

No, you need help!

Too bad this wasn't released in the 90s. The magazine ads would be totally awesome.PLLAAATTIINUUMM GGGGAAAMMMEEESSS (Sorry)

Would you have to pay money for this, or will you be giving up your body?

I really liked reading that this game had an actual easy mode. I think I'm going to buy it.

Lucidity is worth buying just for being able to say that LucasArts makes crap games.

Would this server be able to serve multiple games at once, or just one? Would you be renting a dedicated gaming server? How do these things work?!

Finished the last campaign tonight, The Parish, with the kind help of n0wak. Also, thanks to Wrestle and ysbreker for joining us on the other campaigns. The campaigns in L2D are really excellent, but this game is much too hard. It's like they labelled the difficulty levels incorrectly or something.

Maria was Giana's sister!

Although the web is all atwitter about this, I don't think it's been mentioned here. Basically scientists from the future have made a small and completely safe technology for wirelessly transferring power to things needing it. Not only that, but the dude actually demonstrates the tech by ... well, it's more awesome to see for yourself: http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_wireless_electricity.html If you can't see the video:

So, is there going to be some GTA IV to-nite? If so, gay or straight?

No, I just have these games lying around, and I always hate getting rid of that crap when it's really old. I thought someone else might want to play them while the system is still non-antique. Speaking of which, there's also these to be had: 360: Table Tennis Splinter Cell: Double Agent Tomb Raider: Underworld Fable 2 Brütal Legend Wii: Super Mario Galaxy Resident Evil 4 These are all locked to whatever region I'm in, I guess Europe or whatever.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting duplicate requests, so the more games you list, the bigger the chance you'll get some. And if I wasn't being totally clear, this won't cost you a thing. I'll be open for requests for a week or so, and then I'll find out who gets what. Also, it's not first come first serve (I don't think that would be fair), so don't be afraid to send me a PM.

Yeah, it's really coming back to bite me in the ass.

I'll have to invent some system for deciding who gets what. If you could all PM me a prioritised list of however many you want I'll make everything work out somehow. Just to be clear, these are real games. Also, I'm not kidding.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't as I bought it from Japan.
