    Getting ready to go to my friend's house to continue sewing a costume that's beyond my skill level for a convention that I'm about to tell her isn't in the cards for me this year, which she's going to be incredibly pissed off about.

    Bring ice cream as a peace offering. Chicks love ice cream.

    Yeah, and say something like "I can tell you haven't been watching your weight. It's great to see a woman so confident in her own image that she doesn't have to constantly fight to lose pounds. I thought you'd like some ice cream, you know, to celebrate."

    Ah, wondered where that had gone. I've just been left with a sense of world-weariness and frustration. It's not nearly as interesting.

    Need cheering up? Glove and Boots have you covered.

    But i've already seen that one!:p

    Brother Bear has sorted me out. It's had me balling my eyes out, but I feel very upbeat now. Sometimes letting your emotions just flow out helps.

    Until tomorrow anyway. I'm sure something will happen to dampen my mood.

    No.

    "Here, I brought you some Rocky Road! Enjoy! Also, I won't be able to make it to that Halloween thing this year. Spoon?"

    For me, it's probably Maniac Mansion. I play the NES version a lot in ScummVM. It's the best version in my opinion, even with the censorship (although all versions are slightly censored compared to the original Apple II and Commodore 64 version).
  • edited August 2013
    Pretty sure mine is the first Half-Life, especially if you include mods.
  • edited August 2013
    Rareware, Nintendo and LucasArts games for me. If you're talking the most amount of hours spent playing only one game to its max once, Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and Mother 3.

    Not sure what the ONE game would be. Probably Monkey Island 2.
  • edited August 2013
    My games that I have put Hundreds and hundreds of hours into has to be Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion...
    The number of characters I played to completion...
  • edited August 2013
    My most played game is... I actually don't know. It should beo one of those 4:
    Deus Ex, Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2 and Diablo II.
  • edited August 2013
    SMB3 I'm pretty sure. I played that and NES Batman exclusively for over a year.

    Otherwise Arkham City. I beat it thoroughly on PS3 and PC twice each. So, if I use Steam time, we're talking almost 100hrs I think. Yes, I know that's nothing. A friend of one of my friends plays one of those mmorpg things on steam and has like 3-400hrs on record.
  • edited August 2013
    I think mine is probably Banjo-Kazooie. I booted it up for the first time in several years yesterday and I had three save files averaging at around 65 hours each. And those aren't even the first set of save files (I remember one at around 100 hours). I used to love that game as a kid! I would just wander through each level inventing my own storylines, or looking for that last musical note.
  • edited August 2013
    Probably Mega man Battle Network 3 White.
    I broke the clock on that game.

    I don't know, I really don't know. Is this 'most times completed' or 'most time spent'?? I probably played through Beyond Good & Evil more than a dozen times on different platforms, but have easily spent more time on any stupid 100 hour JRPG I didn't even like that much during my time at the university. Among the ones I do love, I assume that Final Fantasy IX adds up to a staggering number of hours spent. To put a number out there - 500. I easily completed it 5 times, which adds up to 350 hours already, and in some of them, a lot of sweet time was taken. ;)

    Today, it's quality time and only quality time. And I'm proud to report that I have just completed Prince of Persia again, as I did in 2010, 2011 and 2012. ;)
  • edited August 2013
    I would guess that the game I've played the most times would be Ocarina of Time. I replay my favorite games a lot, but I probably play Ocarina of Time at least once a year. The only game that I think could possibly beat it is VVVVVV, which I can clear in just under an hour now if I'm getting all the trinkets (and I always do), and I've played several times on both 3DS and PC. As far as most time sunk, I would guess Kingdom Hearts II, since that's pretty lengthy and I think I've played it four times (which means I've played the first game three times).
  • edited August 2013
    One game I've played the most? Age of Empires II. Easily. I played that game pretty much every Saturday and Sunday morning from fourth grade to eighth grade and pretty much every day during the summer. I don't know how many hours I logged, but if I had to guess, it was somewhere in the thousands. Only beat it once, but it was a good once.

    I like you.
    Worst part about it is that I never got round to beating the game 100%
    (Simply because there is SO MUCH post game stuff to do. I managed to beat Bass and Serenade (both insanely hard bosses mostly due to the fact that only the Blue version got the Folder Restore Giga chip) but I think I only had 3 or 4 completion stars out of like 7)

    YOU BEAT BASS AND SERENADE WTF

    I had the blue version. I made it to post game....and no further. I think last boss I tried to beat was Protoman post game. That game was amazing.

    Yeah it was.
    I mean the story was good, the battle system simple yet incredibly intricate, and the amount of content pretty amazingly large for a GBA game. (The sheer amount of customization makes the game so addictive and replayable)

    My best friend had Blue so we had a few battles. Me being the victor both times :cool: (I destroyed him with a few secret chip combos I figured out. It was crazy because he was winning both times (he geared his megaman and his deck to have as high HP as possible, with loads of tricks I just managed to avoid, whereas I customised my megaman for extra navi chips and I was saving some more powerful chips for the big combos) and I managed to perfectly time like 1000 damage combos (infact one match I pulled off the elemental combo in a dramatic epic comeback from like 50HP or something))

    Protoman is tough though, (even tougher when you EVENTUALLY beat Serenade and Bass, (they are crazy hard without a perfect strategy) and find the secret final versions of all the bosses hiding in all the areas).
    He's really quick, and frustrating to kill quickly to get the best chips because he's so hard to target.
    (The best strategy I used was to take as many rows as possible, and restrict his movement. then I Magnumed the bastard to oblivion! XD)

    Its annoying because I never got the chance to fight Alpha Omega (due my best friend being unable to beat the strongest version of Bowlman to get his final chips).
    Maybe one day I need to replay it on an emulator and hack the chips in post game and tackle Alpha (Omega).

    EDIT: And what makes 3 my favourite over say 4 or 5 is that the style changes are PERMANENT. (Well until you "transform" again)
    It allows you to build a nice complimentary chip folder, whereas the souls in 4 and above (I think, haven't played 5 much), only give you a few turns with each soul, and while cool, its a bit hit and miss.
    (Plus it annoys me having the Dark Chips popping up all the time when I'm losing health. I'm way too proud to use them. except for the first time because I was kind of curious as to what they did)

    EDIT 2: Oh and hey fawful,
    Would you like to saver your game? ;)
  • edited August 2013
    Saver my game?

    Its a localization joke fawful.
    (If you hadn't noticed the Battle Network games are riddled with translation errors. And I know in one game when you save it asks you that! XD)

    EDIT: I'm pretty sure thats Battle Network 4 actually. XD

    EDIT 2:
    Aaaahhh so thats why you wouldn't get it.
    It appears its a error in the European translation of 4
    (the american version doesn't have it. I actually just quickly checked! XD)

    I looked at the back of my Purcell slipcase for Tales of Monkey Island today.

    ...I'm not sure what happened after that, really. My vision went red, and when I came to I was holding a bloody knife, so I'm guessing I took a meat butchering course?

    I think that you probably starred in a movie. Keep your eye out to see if you've got a secret IMDB page.

    Of that list, I've only seen Beck, Welcome to the NHK and Negima (wait - do you mean Mahou Sensei Negima, or Negima!? - two different animes, and I've only seen the first).

    Beck's a semi-interesting look at the making of a rock band, while NHK is... well, it'll hit home if you're a loser nerd. Both take their time though, so don't go in expecting something fast-paced and exciting.

    As for Mahou Sensei Negima... it's OK. Nothing special (and the last few episodes just go completely off-script so they can have a dramatic climax to the show) but it's OK. Meh.
