The Thread of Gaming Randomness

Double post because i can.

Apparently MS/343 fucked up so bad with Halo they have managed to ruin the servers for every single game on the One.
YESSSSSSS POWER OF THE CLOUD!

MORE COMPUTING POWER THAN THE WHOLE WORLD IN 1999!

Not sure if any of you are looking for TG-16 CD stuff, but Y's III: Wanderers from Y's just popped up on eBay. It is Box and Game, missing Manual.

I actually decided to take a pic of some of my games on display...

Of course, there are many more stored away. This is a small portion of my PS1 and PS2 games.

Heh, what on earth are those yellow things?

Hey Zagnorch! That Activision Anthology from part 2 of the 2012 Holiday Give-Away is sitting up there.
Speaking of which, I think I may still have that bag of packing peanuts somewhere... Not really sure.

[Zagnorch]

Really stands out from the plain spines of all the other PS2 games on your shelf, doesn't it? 

Hey, that reminds me: gotta continue getting this year's NSSS together. That bad boy's going live in less than five days...

Those yellow things ALMOST look like Pico games.
But i bet they are not.

Yep, they are Pico games!

So what if they are? You have a problem with that? 

[Izret101]

As someone who still wants to collect the Pico library not at all

EDIT
I already amend that statement.
Loose.

So while playing Super Mario RPG, I noticed that some of the original tracks in the game reminded me of music from Parasite Eve and Kingdom Hearts.  Lo and behold, turns out that Yoko Shimomura, one of the composers for Super Mario RPG, also worked on both PE and KH, as well as many other games.  I knew my ears weren't playing tricks on me!

Finally, a MMO I can get behind:

I got Goat Simulator the day it came out, hopefully that gets me cool horse armor or something.

A heads up for any Xbox One owners.  You can download Sunset Overdrive for free tomorrow (Nov 22) and essentially have a 1-day trial with it.

[Izret101]

Achievements will unlock and should you decide to purchase later the save will still be the same too. (Not sure if that is mentioned in the link or not.)

Downside is the game is ~25GB.
I'd start downloading it right at midnight

Although i think i did hear you can play while the game downloads after it hits a certain completion percentage.

PS4 and XB1 have the concept of a "launch" chunk, that after installation allows you to have some level of interactivity with the game while the rest of it installs. Whether that's being able to customize a character, or the first level, or whatever else is up to the application.

Just gotta say, if you haven't played this yet, you must do so! It's AWESOME. Couldn't put down the controller all day, even though I have so many term papers due next week...
