FWENDS

[metaladrian]

Right. Let's ignore the stuff below. I obviously tried to review all the Animorphs books and stopped again.

So.
I am currently looking for someone to play Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf with me. No, they're not games. Not really.
Nope, they're gamebooks.



LET US SAVE THE KINGDOM OF MAGNAMUND

Other stuff about me for newcomers!
I love anime, yuri, magical girls, video-gaming, JRPGs, Skyrim in particular, sci-fi and fantasy, writing and all kinds of silliness.
And I need people to discuss them with but I don't have any.
So come hither, fwends. JOIN THE HIVE OF BEEEEEEES

Current obsessions in my life are Suikoden, Kiniro Mosaic, Precure, One Piece, Aikatsu, and mainly old-school RPGs which I keep replaying.
I'll move onto something else in 24 hours.

For example I was playing Adventure Island earlier.
Imagine a game similar to Mario, except you play a half-naked fat man with a hammer and a skateboard.

You think I'm kidding don't you.

.

LOOK HE'S GOING TO LAND ON A DEADLY PAIR OF SNAILS. ON A BEACH.
It's really hard though.

Stay tuned for later entries in which I lose my shit at Sonic the Hedgehog and transform into Batman at the speed of...of bat sonar? Yeah. Bat sonar. We'll keep it at that for now.

Hahaha I remember Adventure Island, and one of the sequel games too. Gosh, I might have played it again if I hadn't sold my NES--along with the older Mario Bros, and Kirby's Great Adventure. I played those a lot so long ago.

Can't go wrong with Sonic! Love the old school games especially, and some of the cartoons. <3 (Some of the music on these games are love. :D I'll want to remix some of these, and do my own cover of "Fastest Thing Alive", the theme to the ol' Sonic SatAM show at some point.)

Omg someone else who knows Adventure Island.
I pretty much emulate all these games on my computer now (though I plug in my controller so I am still literally playing them!) since by the time I was born everyone was all about PS1 instead.

I've always loved the old Sonic games. Now I just have to work out whether to call him Dr Eggman of Dr Robotnik. I think the first one is more a nickname or something.

[no_apologies]

I happen to be a retro gamer! There's about a handful of old games I still remember. Yeah, Emulators and roms are good. It was how I was able to play Darius Twin on the PC once. It's one of my favorite Super Nintendo titles. The enemy ships are various sea creatures, and the music is love. I'm almost a quarter of the way done on a remix of the Boss theme, and so far it sounds really, really good. 8D As soon as it's done, I'm so uploading it and sharing it!

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has been my most favorite out of the older ones. Yeah, the first one is a nickname I believe. So is Robuttnik!

[metaladrian]

I play more retro games because they come free and I don't have to waste money or space on tons of CDs. Not that I could, anyway, since we only have one TV (so no consoles) and my computer is Linux (which is a great system until you realise it sucks for gaming purposes).
Skyrim is the only new-ish game I have bought recently (and even then I didn't know if it would work on a non-windows system :p)

Ooh, I haven't played Darius Twin.
But SNES and PS1 games are my favourites, mainly JRPGs like the Tales series and Breath of Fire. I love them. <3

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is awesome. Still stuck getting to the second boss though. Stupid drowning.

[no_apologies]

The Darius games are 2D side scroll spaceship fighter games. :) Twin has been the only one I've ever played so far, and it's a challenging one. I've seen the newest one, Darius Burst, is on PSP, but it may be another long while before I get that last generation handheld!

lol, Chemical Plant Zone is a tough one. Love, love, love the music from that level. I've heard some great remixes of that, including an Acapella version of it. I'm really, really going to have to think how I'll do differently with that one.

[metaladrian]

Oohoo, I'm not the greatest at shooters but I do love them regardless. (Probably a bad idea of me to play virtually every Touhou game, which are ridiculously hard shooters)
The ones i have played are mainly Gradius and Gradius III? And I played Abadox on the NES more for the design than anything else. :p Oh, and Parodius which is just...so random. :p

YES I LOVE THAT MUSIC. Most of the Genesis music for Sonic is really awesome and catchy but Chemical Plant Zone has some great music there.

[no_apologies]

Another great track from Sonic 2 would be Metrpolis Zone! That's my other most favorite VGM from it, and I have this idea for an Industrial type of remix with that one--with drill sounds and stuff like that. :D

I feel totally starved for video games, gaming, and anime. ;_;
I used to have a bunch of retro consoles. Sonic was one of my absolute favorites. There's something addicting about it. Although drowning in those games is stressful! :P I haven't had nearly as much time to game which makes me sad. I was never a kick arse gamer, just had fun. I like Persona though I never quite had the dedication to finish more than a couple FF games. I loved the older, pixelated ones more.

Lone Wolf looks super cool! It reminds me of those Choose Your Own Adventure books I was addicted to (though with perhaps more agency). I also have a pile of DnD books that I mostly pick at for game ideas though since friends moved away I do not have so many people to do that with. And there are only so many hours in the day. :/

Long story short,not. I would love to read your crazy posts. :)

[metaladrian]

Lone Wolf is inspired by Chose Your Own Adventure books, except you get stats and superpowers like Mind Over Matter and psychic attacks you can choose at the beginning, and you can use them throughout the story.

And yay friendss!!
I've just been playing Castlevania: Dracula X and realising one of the levels is so broken that it's virtually unplayable.

[star_swan]

Castlevania! Somewhere around here I have the Symphony of the Night soundtrack. XD

Bummer. :(
I found those games difficult but I liked them better than Mario because I felt like there was a rhythm to them that I could get behind more. Whip the floating heads, jump , and so forth. Haven't played any in ages!

[metaladrian]

Symphony of the Night is great but I didn't play it until pretty recently :p played all the other games first.

And aghh the floating heads. The medusa heads are a nightmare. Especially in the games where they could turn you to stone if they touched you.

My computer is actually dead, I'm operating on a labtop and managed to change the connectors so that I still get a widescreen monitor and separate keyboard.
But all my games and shows are on the dead computer which sucks. Maybe I'll play some Elder Scrolls later.
