In Defense of the Genesis (Part 1)

Tonight, I have decided to devote my mind and body to my good old Sega Genesis. After scavenging it out of the recesses of my closet and plugging it into the tiny television I keep on my computer desk, I am now prepared to spend an evening with one of my favorite classics, Streets of Rage.

(Cue the Primus shuffle.)


Hah. The white character has less hops than the black guy. Can't jump as high.

I forgot about how fun this game was. It was such a spectacle of violence back in the day. You punch through a phone booth and find a corn dog on the ground. You eat it, and your ruptured ribcage and open fleshwounds suddenly heal themselves. Then you proceed to punch another phone booth, shattering it once more into oblivion. Instead of a magical corn dog, you find a lead pipe. You pick it up and use the next wave of thugs as baseballs. Even before the techonology of Rumble Paks, you feel those swings of the pipe connecting with and destroying your enemies. Of course, your character insists on holding every badass weapon in the most awkward of positions, almost in some sort of strange attempt to hold its arm at a perfect 90 degree angle. What a world I have found myself in.

Dominatrixes and rocket launchers aside, Streets of Rage boasts an extremely detailed and imaginative setting. The colors are varied and artistic, and the city itself seems to hold some untold story of anarchy and urban rebellion.

When the character jumps, it looks like he's performing some horrible stripper pose in mid-air.

This game is awesome. Time to watch some Dragonball Z movies.

Game update (DEAD RISING)

Great game but you should be able to save anywhere...I got up to level 35 with over 50 survivors saved and forgot to save it and i had to start from level 5 and go back up and I just quit... also Just because i came into the room 1 minute after i was supposed to I lost... I think they should just wait on you then move on.

It is a fun game to kill zombies and get anger out.. Now that I've been having often anger issues. But I do agree with everyone that it is a GREAT and AWSOME game.

What A Coincidence

Guess what just leaked a few days ago

Tobacco    435,000 deaths a year
Alcohol    85,000 deaths a year
Motor Vehicle Crashes    26,347 deaths a year
Aspirin/s    7,600 deaths a year
Marijuana    0 deaths a year

There is no need to judge or change others because of their choice to do something, that when it comes down to it, is basically harmless and non addictive.

Eversion!

The candy-coated adventure from Zaratustra Productions! You weren't doing anything worthwhile, anyways. Exhilarating, to say the least. HERE

LOCATION FOUND:

Gabi and I found the greatest little woodland location.

It's not much of a hike, tho, unless you want to walk up a really tall hill that we could easily drive up instead.
