Probably buying TTi

I hope he'll be showing us some more pics for our cinemas for Mysterious Song, his work is wonderful!

Aha! Thank you.

Can't wait to see him post. So, have any Frozen Utopia projects been released yet? I haven't missed anything, right?

No releases yet. We're planing our next release sometime after the apocalypse.

ParanoiaDragon · 01/11/2008, 01:23 AM

Indeed.

I started playing BioShock recently. Although I haven't played Timeball/Blodia yet... this screenshot reminds me of Bioshock's hacking screens:

Can it be really THAT bad? I'll have to try it out soon. I wonder if I ordered that one from D-Lite or not. I guess I'll need to check.

Tatsujin · 01/11/2008, 11:17 AM

that one is quite tricky!

He's always posting pictures of himself posing with his copy, and everyone says he looks like the monkey.

It's not that bad. Steve knows what I'm talking about. I don't know why people hate on it so much.

It's a pretty neat puzzler, and I dig the music too. Very atmospheric. The first time I really got into playing it I was sitting on the balcony of a rental house in Hawaii, it was a warm evening and the sun was going down. I was tipping back a few Coronas and was definitely "in the zone" for Blodia on my GT.

You know how when you hear music it takes you back to the first place you ever heard it, well, every time I hear the Blodia music it takes me back to that warm Hawaiian night. So mabye I'm a little biased, but I had lots of fun with that game on that trip.

Tatsujin · 01/11/2008, 11:49 AM

yeah..music is the best souvenir carrier.

It's too boring to play and too homely to look at. My excessive retardeditty and being unable to get very far doesn't help things either. Since it's too hard for me, I think I'll go cry now.

nat · 01/11/2008, 01:31 PM

It's not the prettiest game, I'll give you that.

But there are many more games that look much worse than Blodia that don't get hated on quite enough.

Take Genpei Toumaden, for example.

There's no such thing as 'enough' when it comes to hate for the abomination known as Genpei Toumaden.

Ceti Alpha · 01/11/2008, 02:02 PM

Haha. Awesome list Runinruder!

I don't know how I missed this thread.

I'm building up a new penny collection, but I'm not sure what games to buy with the money now that I have reacquired a copy of Ninja Spirit thanks to rag-time. hehe. I'm thinking either Parasol Stars (I love Bubble Bobble and need to play this. lol), Magical Chase, or Dungeon Explorer II (US version).

Parasol Stars shouldn't cost you all that many pennies. I got mine last year for like ten bucks. It's an okay game, but I prefer Rainbow Islands. I know I'm in the minority on that, though, and PS is more like Bubble Bobble. And RI is more expensive.

Dungeon Explorer II is fucking awesome, definitely the one to get of the three you mentioned. Take the original DE and throw in a larger world, more bosses, an incredible CD soundtrack, and one of the coolest Turbo villains.

I don't like Magical Chase.

I'm hoping to have another complete cinema by the end of the month.

I haven't been able to stop myself from revising the character designs over and over, but after this cinema is complete all of the character's appearences for the cinemas will/should be set in stone.

It really is. Especially when a piece of music gets layered in several experiences over the years.

Blodia is a fun game. I was a big fan of Pipe Dream]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Dream_(video_game)]Pipe Dream as well, so this shouldn't be surprising.

Blodia represents all that is great with puzzles: an exceedingly simple concept that is addictive to play. Once you solve a puzzle (especially tough ones), there's a wonderful moment of satisfaction. Then, you're on to the next one.

Blodia should have been given a more polished look and more songs. Oh well.

QuoteJOE RUDDIFER - RAYXANBER II
Because he always goes around saying "RAISIN BAR! RAISIN BAR!" whenever the game is mentioned.

that's funny, one of the guys that reviewed this game in Sendai Publication's
Super Gaming magazine, also said (raisin bar?) ^__^

I love Ken's review of the game.

I remember reading that Turbo hate as a kid and the gamma rays would start to kick in every time.

Me Hulk. Me bash EGM.

Don't bother-- play Samurai Ghost instead.

nat is offering the best advice, but considering how cheap GT is, I'm sure you'll be able to get some enjoyment from GT. I did. Runin's review is accurate, though, and I fear that GT can become frustrating the further you get. I haven't gotten too far into the game, plus part of my enjoyment is derived from its "novelty". The novelty quickly wears thin.

I also bought the famicom version of GT... I've had the same experience with this version.

I wouldn't recommend any "normal" person to get these games.

Hi there~
Recent member but PC-E owner (interface unit ftw) since 1993.
Very easy to guess which PCE game Identifies me, isn't it ?

Also Gate/Winds of Thunder.

Kitsune has to change his avatar before I truly believe him.

Do it!
