I highly reccomend this game, one of the best ever! You know how most games are, y'know, intense and nuts? This is peaceful, and beautiful... you have to keep a speed limit, brake softly, give signal for going left or right etc, play realistically.. and it rules! Just something really bizarre and amazing about it. It's much better than that one Penn and Teller game I have for the Sega CD (burnt)...

Desert Bus

Desert Bus is the best known trick minigame in the package, and was a featured part of Electronic Gaming Monthly's preview. The objective of the game is to drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada in real time at a maximum speed of 45mph. The feat requires 8 hours of continuous play to complete, since the game cannot be paused.
The bus contains no passengers, contains little scenery (an occasional rock or stop sign will appear at the side of the road), and there is no traffic. The road between Tucson and Las Vegas is without exception completely straight. The bus veers to the right slightly; as a result, it is impossible to tape down a button to go do something else and have the game end properly. If the bus veers off the road it will stall and be towed back to Tucson, also in real time. If the player makes it to Las Vegas, they will score exactly one point. The player then gets the option to make the return trip to Tucson—for another point (a decision they must make in a few seconds or the game ends). Players may continue to make trips and score points as long as their endurance holds out. Some players who have completed the trip have also noted that, although the scenery never changes, a bug splats on the windscreen about five hours through the first trip, and on the return trip the light does fade, with differences at dusk, and later a pitch black road where the player is guided only with headlights.
Penn says, "The best part of that I think was an idea that was not mine, not Teller’s, and not Barry Marx, who designed the game with us. It was an idea by Eddie Gorodetsky, one of the producers on Two and a Half Men, really funny guy. I think that Eddie G. is one of the funniest guys in the world."
Penn Jillette commented in his radio show that the overly realistic nature of the game was in response to Janet Reno and the controversy surrounding violent video games at the time. He also stated that there would have been a prize for the person or group to get the highest score in the game, also substantiated by the various "Desert Bus" contest materials prepared for the release of the game. Penn said that the prize "was going to be, you got to go on Desert Bus from Tucson to Vegas with showgirls and a live band and just the most partying bus ever. You got to Vegas, we're going to put you up at the Rio, big thing, and then, you know, big shows."[1], although this contest did not happen. Some have played the game using a tool-assisted emulator, managing to obtain 99 points, the maximum the game allows. A run of this length would have taken over 41 days to complete in real time.[




.......the weirdest game ever (at least next to Kitano's anti-game and Mr. Mosquito)?

Oh, and as usual, I've been playing Lumines. I finally got it back from my girlfriend -- I'm going to buy her an a few of my friends copies for Christmas this year, since everyone is so addicted to it. Since getting it back last week, I've put 13 more hours on it (in addition to my usual "listening to music" and now "burning/playing Dreamcast games" -- maybe this explain why I haven't done any movie stuff lately -- er, besides writing a 29 page script and shooting about 100 videos this week, haha).

Anyway, my high score is only 57,000! I did get to that in a super intense 14 minutes though. I see 999,9999 videos online and it bums me out. Lumines, mmm.

DUX

The Dreamcast will never die -- this shooter came out a little more than a year ago, and is really fucking fun, for a cheap little indie title. Oh, and look, y'all...

HeavyMetalMe: Are you currently open to, or have already taken suggestions for the game play of DUX from ordinary games?
René: I’m not too sure about this. P.N.03 has been one of the inspirations when it comes the very whitish and clean look. Maybe its to scoring aspects is an inspiration too.




P.N.03 influence. Gotta get on that now, eh?


Also, got this:
BALDR FORCE EXE







A weird new Dreamcast adventure/2D Shooter with tons of cinemas. What the hell?

I don't know if it's differnt. Probably not. Puzzle Fighter is my favorite puzzler of all time. Also, Desert Bus is hilarious. haha.

This month the Game Boy Player Land blog will be heavily focusing on the macabre. As a huge horror movie fan, I've always had a soft spot for horror-themed games. And though I've wanted to write about them in spurts all month, I thought it would make for a really fun October if I just saved all the posts up for this 1st annual Spooktacular. All month long I'll be bombarding the blog with posts relating to ghosts, goblins, witches and the like. This month on the Game Boy Player Land blog, everyday is Halloween.

I wanted to read an actual article! :(

first one tomorrow, then new ones every 2-3 days.

I kinda want a DC now..

^^it was segas farewell gift from when the companys phase of being cool and creating pioneering stuff. now sega sucks ass.

street fighter iii: third impact (dreamcast)

...And you know what? It's, uh, alright. There's a great Fatal Fury game for the DC, Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the DC, Capcom vs SNK for the DC, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (which is overrated, but...) for the DC.... and best of all, Guilty Gear X for the DC. Get any of those, or maybe even the King of Fighters, over Street Fighter III!

No, I dunno. The gameplay is good, it's just... okay, nearly all the characters are horrible (hence why, 12 years after release, none of them have really appeared in any other games, except for spin-offs or "Super" SF IV). Dudley is just Balrong. Necro is just Dhalsim and Blanka combined. Hugo was just ridiculous. A ton of Zangief-ish characters, 2 Fei Long characters (who are twins), a Sagat-ish character, and of course, 2 dudes dressed like Ryu and Ken who have some of the same movies. In a way, it was cool that they decided to make an all-new roster (aside from Akuma, Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li), but uh. Yeah. These characters blow. Especially compare it to something like SF Alpha games where all the new characters were awesome. And what was with the Q guy, who kinda looks like a Watchmen character? My biggest thing is -- I usually like to play as girls, as I've noticed the fighting style of the female characters is usually more in tune with how I play, and there was only one girl I liked (of the only-3 in the game!)... Ibuki..



All the rest sucked! What was the deal with TWELVE? Was he supposed to be Carnage, the T-1000, and Reptile rolled into one?! Also, what exactly is the point of going invisible if you turn completely visible as soon as you do even one move?! "Ha ha! I took the 2 second animation to become invisible so I could invisibly get a little punch on you!!!!!! Ha ha!" Just a weirdly sloppy game. The actual mechanics of the gameplay are pretty fun, but nothing you can't get from Alpha 3 (which is faster and more satisfying) and vs. SNK 2 (which is just better in every way).

I dunno. Just a weird game. Is 4 any good?

SF3 has the best ken imo

fallout 3

DARKSTALKERS 3.





I'm sorry, but this game is... FUCKING BADASS!

Also, I played this for 2 hours earlier;

Irritating Stick.

Basically, you guide a stick through an electrified maze, and that's it. There are occasionally robots that chase you and stuff. Sounds boring, doesn't it? Well, uh yeah, maybe. But uh... I dug it.

^^ I get obsessed with puzzle games. I'd totally play that for hours

meh....some new characters, 2 of which I find extremely annoying. I'm still waitin' to player "Super" SF4

I am in hour 94 of Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion

Ladies and Gentlemen.. It's fucking on

Found my old disk, about to play this...




haha

Fuck yeah, got Power Stone 2 last night.

Been playing these on and off all day:


bangai-o


zone of the enders 2


guilty gear xx ancient core... Okay, this is the best 2D fighting game ever. Even the original creator of Street Fighter 2 said, "I don't see the point of anyone making any new 2D fighting games -- Guilty Gear is the only game you need in that area." He's right. So fun, so full of life, everything just feels RIGHT.. it's hardcore as fuck... man. AWESOME FUCKING GAME.

I just beat this with King Ghirdorah. This game is awesome.

what game would that be?

13,000+ lines in tetris

Tetris rules! That is gnarly sir!
A good friend of mine once took some LSD and played Tetris Splash on the XBOX 360 for hours and hours and then passed out. The next day he checked his rank, and he was about 150th in the U.S.!

Adam. Everything you said about Guilty Gear is true. and I also love Marvel Vs. Capcom

I'm exited for Tekkan Vs. Street Fighter and Street Fighter Vs. Tekken (two different games)... Anyone else hyped?
http://kotaku.com/5595524/street-fig...game-crossover

not really...well...I know I won't be playing Tekken vs SF.

maybe SF vs tgekken. but....mostt tekken player seem to just button mash which is somthin' I hate....

^ and I was tryin' to get back into tekken.....I mean I was considering buying 5? is it? the last one that came out.

Freshly purchased - Circa 1988

^^thats awesome

I couldn't let it escape me. I felt as if it were destined to be mine. Laid down 10 smackers at the comic shop as soon as I saw it.

I have a 1989 Mario BRos. 2 sleeping bag. Always thinking of selling it, but something stops me..

That's so cool! Hold onto that, man! You're really going to appreciate it one day. If you ever do feel necessitated to sell it for a quick buck, I'd be more than happy to give it a safe, new home.

Could you post a picture of it? I'm interested in seeing what it looks like.

Sure, give me a few days though, it's at my grandpa's house, tucked away.

Oh, wait, here it is



I dunno why I said SMB2.

Wow! You should hang that up on a wall or something. That's what I'd do! That thing is so cool!

Haha. It's been in a plastic bag for.. oh.. 17 years now! At least! Haha.

Now playing:


God, I love this game. To me, it represents a) everything that was awesome in the 90's, b) Everything that made the PSX the coolest system ever, and c) A time in my life when I was happy.

^^I agree to you about wipeout, except for the happness thing. I was definately i this fuck em all mood for years, starting to play guitar n stuff.

why do all humans behave like the über-chliche in their life? just to look back and feeling bad? hahaha

Soul Calibur. The game where girls look like balloon animals (for those wondering, I ALWAYS play Taki, no matter which game I'm playing... though I do like SC2's ability to play as Link, on the GC version...). This game is frighteningly simple and easy, compared to something like Virtua Fighter, or the amazing, underrated classic Tobal No. 2 (not No. 1... No. 2, which is a masterpiece)

I like these games okay; fast, good looking, insane... but man, they just don't match a 2D fighter. I just don't get much satisfaction. To be honest, the best 3D fighters I've ever played are Bushido Blade 1 and 2.

I of course am a far bigger fan of 2D Fighters.

But Soul Calibur II is amazing (on the GameCube). I HAVE NEVER played as any character other than Link. :)

never was a fan of button mashing fighters....
