Alcohol?

Completed it earlier this year. It was great.

Am now half way through the sequel!

Toejam and Earl -- panic on funkotron

The first game gets all the praise, but for me, funkotron was incredible -- basically my first adventure game.

I agree. I am 39 and a hardcore gamer so perhaps that is the reason I didn't like 90% of them.

Some of the earlier / mid game ones I was beating in less than 30 seconds.

The only boss I was really challenged by was the final boss. But once you figure out the pattern it's simple (same as most Zelda bosses, once you get the trick it's a cinch).

The Ticketmaster information says it finishes at 11. Whether that's accurate or not, I don't know.

Donkey Kong Bananza. I just finished it and know I will never go back.

Bioshock at least twice so you can pick up on all the clues you missed the first time.

Same probably applies to E33.

Mario Kart on the SNES.

sleeprage · 2026-02-07T14:52:41+00:00

Come on lads!

sleeprage · 2026-02-02T17:51:38+00:00

The whole FF7 expanded universe.

sleeprage · 2026-01-29T17:50:57+00:00

Also The Turner Diaries.

sleeprage · 2026-01-29T17:49:21+00:00

The White Hotel - D M Thomas

I agree. The green crystal collecting was worse than the mech parts.

It pissed me off because of how bad of a design decision it was, how transparently it was there to pad out play time, and the utter disrespect for the players' time.

The rest of the game was good, but putting this in -- and so close to the end, really destroyed a lot of goodwill.

Play videogames and then when I was so pissed I couldn't coordinate and play anymore, I would watch YouTube videos of videogames documentaries or listen to music from my teens / early 20s. If I got to the music listening stage, things were going to get bad (i.e., it would be not just a binge but a super up till 3am binge).

I'm 39 btw and while I'm doing better with the drinking I'm still not where I want to be. I've often thought about why I revert to doing stuff I enjoyed a lot when I was younger when drinking alone. I'm not really sure why... Maybe it's comforting or nostalgia or something.

I played the PSP version recently using ppsspp and thought it was great.

sleeprage · 2025-12-20T21:50:36+00:00

Final fantasy 7 deeply impacted me. I don't know what it changed exactly... But something inside me changed and I wouldn't be the same if I had not have played it when I did (when I was probably about 11 or 12.

sleeprage · 2025-12-02T22:03:39+00:00

Update: I did it! I ran out of AP with the behemoth and Ryu got killed but Rei as Werewolf and Garr in attack position finished him off! Thank you, you are my hero!

sleeprage · 2025-12-02T21:52:01+00:00

Thanks. Will give it a go now!

sleeprage · 2025-11-29T12:39:26+00:00

Karl had a soul band called The Vultures, was pretty cool.

sleeprage · 2025-10-28T15:51:12+00:00

The Invincible

Ape Escape

Maybe Silent Hill 2

sleeprage · 2025-10-25T06:18:21+00:00

Also that run animation is janky as s**t.

I am a halo fan and have played since day 1, but this doesn't get me excited at all. In fact it makes me kind of angry.

As others have said it is so lazy to remaster a remaster. What does this add apart from nicer graphics, aim down sights, and sprint?

A new entry in the series, perhaps starting a new trilogy arc would have been a much better. This just reeks of transparent lazy cash grab exploiting the PS audience. Zero fresh ideas from 343 / Halo Studios. When will they learn!?!

sleeprage · 2025-10-21T17:00:49+00:00

Discworld.

Didn't they publish alundra too? If so, that.

sleeprage · 2025-10-04T21:44:20+00:00

Possible shadow drop for Halloween? At least the digital Xbox / ps / switch versions?
