How long before I crack under the pressure and buy a Gamecube?

You might as well just go get it today. If I had a real job right now I would simply for Metroid.

I know my woman would leave me if I invested in video games. Not to mention that I'd turn into sloth-man. Resist the temptation!

Are you playing Qbert now?

 

[azal]

I would invest in some nice cutlery instead.

or have a hooker defecate on my stomach.

 

[FuSoYa]

get it. of course ann won't leave you! and if she threatens it just get her to play the game a couple times.

forever, fuck that shi. now for my second statement: xbox game's need to end this ridiculousness of having these game sthat are really hard" i.e. splinter cell and dead to rights, fuck dude im in the cia headquarters in sc and it's so hard, and when i ahd rented dtr, i got up to this one poitn and jsut ahd to give-up cuase it was impossible.

that's AWESOME, g.k.e. i remember when NEs 8-bit had such hard fucking games and it was a huge triumph to beat them, and there was even an expression for things in general..."How hard is it to lift that rock? Nintendo-hard." so many recent videogames are just lead-you-by-the-nose easy.

 

[goatschool]

the lack of attention paid to azal's post is almost criminal

1) Cobra Triangle
2) The submarine level in Earthworm Jim
3) Dr. Wily in Mega Man X.

Blaster Master...the drag-scooter level in Battletoads...

 

[goatschool]

the drag-scooter level in Battletoads...

i think i remember biting the controller, right there.

the later boards of GOLGO-13

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

any shinobi side-scroller...

the funny part of golgo 13 was that it was actually EASIER if you jump-kicked instead of using your gun, so we would avoid picking up ammunition by leaping over it (and shooting our weapons empty when we couldn't avoid it).

option 3 rules always. but if ann did have a shit fit, she'd get over it. $129 isn't that much money. I just spent $360 ($250 in girlfriend dollars- as far as she knows) on new speakers that come in FedEx tomorrow. AXIOM SPKRS RULE.

it's the time you spend on the game that'll probably make her pissed. so, as fusoya mentioned, get her to play it. preppy should corroborate this idea, right?
i can't go and get one of these game things because i don't have enough time as it is, and i'd rather work on music than get sucked into something (which i know would happen).

I bought Metroid Prime yesterday, and it's THE BEST FUCKING THING I EVER PLAYED! So get it ehh... now.
Grmbl. I'm European and you all seem to be American, so you'll get an easier version as we Europeans (Our version is an 'updated', harder one )

a first-person shooter is the best thing you've ever played??
