Wow Wily stage 1 is hard. Ok well it's the magic blocks. How I hate them so.

Also do you mean me? Because I have no way of actually talking.
 
Ok well I have no form of talking and I've always heard them called magic blocks...

I've gone through several avatars in the past week and I think I'm going to settle on this one.

I love all of the perk-spoofs people have made, haha!

Anyhoo, I have a somewhat limited game list right now--just got rid of some stuff... I'm thinking I'm just going to go with Metroid: Other M.

I haven't heard many great things about Other M...

Have you played New Vegas, Arcella?
 
Meh. I'm not a big Metroid fan. Too much back tracking.

Also someone at school recommended New Vegas to me. Is it a war game or what exactly is like? I know it's a violent shooting game, but I don't like war sim type games.
 
It's a first-person shooter RPG. You explore Las Vegas and the surrounding wasteland some years after a nuclear war with China. It. Is. Amazing. It's not a war game like Call of Duty, but there are guns. If you enjoy RPGs, you ought to look at some reviews or something of it on Youtube.

I want it, but I am waiting for the boyfriend to finish it first. :] He got the pre-order package, so he has real poker chips from the game. They're pretty neat.

I actually asked for WiiFit, I changed my mind last minute. Even though I have a lovely gym membership, I think it would be great to finally have the balance board and some exercises I would be motivated to do at home on the days I don't feel like going to the gym, haha.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are a FPS with unique advantages to it such as V.A.T.S. system:
(Funny photoshopped example of V.A.T.S.)

Where you can target certain parts of a body/mutant/insect/animal/etc. and it will show the % of the likelihood of that shot actually hitting your target. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where nuclear war has devastated the world. It isn't exactly a war game, rather you are at war with different people and groups depending on your karma. If you haven't played Fallout 3 yet, I recommend playing that first before you play Fallout: New Vegas.

To quote Wikipedia in their summary of Fallout 3:

"Fallout 3 is an action role-playing game released by Bethesda Game Studios, and is the third major installment in the Fallout series. The game was released in North America on October 28, 2008, in Europe and Australia on October 30, 2008, in the United Kingdom and Ireland on October 31, 2008, and in Japan on December 4, 2008 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Fallout 3 takes place in the year 2277, 36 years after the setting of Fallout 2 and 200 years after the nuclear apocalypse that devastated the game's world in a future where international conflicts culminated in a Sino-American war in the second half of the 21st century. The game places the player in the role of an inhabitant of Vault 101, a survival shelter the size of a village, designed to protect a small number of humans from the nuclear fallout. When the player character's father disappears under mysterious circumstances, the player is forced to escape from the Vault and journey into the ruins of Washington D.C. to track him down. Along the way the player is assisted by a number of human survivors and must battle myriad enemies that inhabit the area now known as the "Capital Wasteland". The game has an attribute and combat system typical of an action strategy game but also incorporates elements of first-person shooter and survival horror games."


Basically, both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are intensely complex games with many outcomes of gameplay based on variables you can control (such as karma, missions you accept, partners you accept, and so on). Additionally, the game has major replay value (to me atleast), such as playing through with good karma and being a hero of the wastelands to playing through again with bad karma and enslaving people with collars! Different karma/affiliations in the game will offer you different quests to complete. The game is amazing.
 
I beat Megaman 4! Yay. Also I've noticed a recurring theme in the Megaman series. This song.

The part where it gets heavy gets reused a lot in the games.
 
I don't think we need a shoutbox...people just tend to mope around it in and ignore the rest of the forum.
