You look like someone who's trying to stop Megaman

[White Wolf Guardian]

I'll throw these leaves, that'll stop him.

[Dr. Prower]

Leaves of invincible power!

[White Wolf Guardian]

Invincible leaves would make for a bad day for composts!

[Dr. Prower]

Don't you miss the old days of gaming when physical contact with something evil caused damage?

[White Wolf Guardian]

Sometimes yes, other times it really didn't make any sense.

i miss the old side scrolls

[White Wolf Guardian]

Side scrollers? Yes me too. There's very few games that keep to the old style, such as Cave Story.

Me too. I just miss all old school gaming goodness.

i still have my genesis from like 20 years ago but my tv doesn't hook up to it

[White Wolf Guardian]

A lot of tv's dropped the antenna hookup, but usually there are alternate cable connections you can buy online.

I wonder if in twenty years time, the same will be said of modern games?

"Boy do I miss the days of the modern military shooter, what I wouldn't give to walk in a straight line shooting everything that moves once again in a game with slightly racist undertones"

hmm, maybe not...

[White Wolf Guardian]

This reminds me of that time that Resident Evil 5 was considered racist because the game was taking place in Africa.

[Angder]

Honestly most of the racism is entirely unintentional and mostly caused by stupidity and stereotypes rather than deliberate design, but lets be honest here, we are shooting a LOT of extremists who are Islamic, and almost always as a white American, you have got to admit that is a little... off-putting.

Which games are we talking about? In the Call of Duty games, the people being shot up were specifically from the region, whereas the Russians were invading in another set of games, which was a completely different setup. What about the time the CIA man went into the Russian airport and shot up everyone wasn't that far worse?
