AgentBirdnest: No idea why it isn't here, but I just voted for it :-)
Good. Already did that some time ago :P

Stilton: If there was some slapstick involved it would be much better. Not quite Laurel and Hardy, but maybe some Octodad in there would liven things up.

CarrionCrow: There aren't many games that pull off the serious tone. A lot of them try, but more often it's "Okay, we're super serious, and this is super important. As such, I am totally treating this with the seriousness it deserves. Seriously." Then the laughter kicks in.

I want to see a cross between slapstick, Final Fantasy and Manhunt. That'd be a fun mix.
Some of the questing games could become hilarious if the grail they were seeking was somewhat out of context.

Deathly serious can get really boring really fast because its been seen in so many other games and a billion films too.

Spectacular would be a good things to strive for in modern games, spectacularity, thrillingness that spectularizes the thrillingmost spectacle ever conceived. We need a Cecil B DeMille of the gaming world.

Also downloaded NHL 2009 on my origin.

Yeah, there's still plenty of wiggle time for lots of humor in games. One-dimensional violence and titillation have been done more times than I care to even attempt to count, it'd be good to see some broader horizons.

I think the closest you'll get to spectacle is what Square-Enix focuses on these days. They spend insane amounts of time and money on their cutscenes, and they don't get it right because they miss building ways to make people care about the spectacles they're seeing.

It is amusing to see a company that put out Final Fantasy 6 turn into the company that put out Final Fantasy 13, though. It's like they started offering lobotomies to their creative staff, and pretty much every last person took them up on it.

Had it blocked. It feels silly to have people continue being so generous with gifts when they end up sitting in the pile with everything else since I'd need 72 hour days and no need for sleep whatsoever to make a substantial dent any time soon.

Yeah, Think EA was giving it away on origin at some point.

I can only imagine how much weight your games amount to...

I've just been looking for a PC version of You Must Build a Boat - where is it? Or more to the point, is there a PC version?

Well missed that then....oh well...haven't much NHL the last years (when it was still on PC) anyway...

Estimate - 900 games, 20 hours apiece (low guess there, some will be 50 or more). 18,000 hours, or 750 days, 2 years 20 days, of playing 24 hours a day. Cut that down to 8 hours a day, triple the time required, and that stacks up to 6 years, 60 days of playing 8 hours a day, every single day no matter what.

There is a PC version, but I'm only seeing it as a Steam rental. That's where I got it from.

Damn that's one hell of a collection. :P

If its only Steam, then I'll wait for it to show up elsewhere.

900 games is...is... I think I'm going to fall over.


I'll be glad when these damn downloads are in. Every so often the PC behaves like its full of treacle. It gets so I can't even refresh a browser page. Yeuch.

It's the end result of a lot of sale watching over the last couple years. No way in hell I could afford it otherwise.
