I also slightly disagree with them in that Super Mario 3 was not a perfect game. I argue it would be perfect if it had a save feature so its close but not entirely perfect. The version that ships on Super Mario All Stars shipped with a save feature and the graphics were a bit...
RetroLiberty is a cool YouTube channel dedicated to retro games. I appreciate both guys on the channel because the production value is much better than the average retro video faire. In this video they are discussing their top 10 NES games. I track with them on the list for the most part, but personally would have handed the top spot to The Legend of Zelda. Mario 2 would have been my number 2.

Typically the new games I am the most excited about launching are Triple A studio titles. For many years, to me, they have been the pinnacle of rad. But starting this year that has changed. My most anticipated games coming out this year contain only one large studio title and the rest are from Indie companies.
Since I reject the hipster lifestyle I can attribute this to a shift in gaming at large and my gaming tastes evolving. For the last few years, Triple A titles primarily released on consoles have ruled the roost but this is changing significantly as more great Indie companies release awesome stuff. This stuff isn't just on consoles, its primary release is PC and...

Just when you get to the base... Its all over.
Hey everyone, I'm Jake from Hypercane Studios, I'm the 3d artist for our small indie company. I
have finally wrapped up the major stuff I needed to get done before Rage Runner launches on OUYA.
Today I turn my attention to the community looking for any, and all feedback on our level editor. Over
the next week I will be gathering feedback from the community of 10 different forums on what types
of obstacles you would like in our level editor. After that week of gathering feedback ill take the top
obstacle ideas, and run a poll for everyone to vote on. Then I'll take the top polled obstacles and get
them ready for when the game goes live. Below are some basic things to keep in...

An interesting time lapse video of TJ Townsend recreating a scene in doom in high res. You can download the scene as well.

For the past few months, jdodson has been bringing you interviews with members of the community. Recently, I turned the tables on him!
Why did you decide to start Cheerful Ghost?
jdodson: I wanted to share all games I owned with my friends and I knew of no good way to do that. Secondly I wanted to read peopleâs thoughts on games they loved. I used to scroll through the Amazon reviews for games because I liked how people honestly gave them a fair shake. I tried reading other game sites, but felt the reviewers were overly cynical and jaded and I didnât enjoy the community that fostered. So I decided I need to fix that and launched Cheerful Ghost 4 months later.

As a video game nerd over 30, I'm kind of ashamed that I've never played this. It would be like being a drama geek and never having read hamlet.
Eric Barone is the creator of Stardew Valley the new open-ended country-life RPG with co-op. After posting information of the game to Cheerful Ghost I realized that most of you were as excited about seeing this game and needed to know more about it. In the original thread I asked people to submit questions for the interview and @WhiteboySlim & @scrypt stepped up the the challenge. I wish Eric well and a speedy launch of Stardew Valley!
jdodson: The first time I saw the Stardew Valley video my mind exploded in excitement. The game seems to focus on a community & co-op and I noticed an in game conversation about crop sustainability. As you were coming up with the...

I have never played Chivalry, but the presence of low-gravity servers coupled with the reaction characters have to being up in the air makes me want to buy it. This is hilarious, and looks like some wacky multiplayer fun you wouldn't expect from a game about knights.
This time, all about the Songbird. I seriously cannot wait for this game.
Yeah, Mario 3 is not quite perfect and that's exactly why. SMW, man, SMW. I'll check this out though. I like video game youtube content a whole lot. It's probably my favorite thing before bed.
Haircuts!
Yeah these guys really up the quality for retro videos. They seem to have a nice backlog too so you might have enough content for many evenings.
I can see the contention between Mario 2 and 3 but in my opinion 3 gets it because while 2 was great and different, 3 actually changed the way games were made. I was clenching my jaw waiting to pounce when I didn't see Megaman 2. Bullet dodged.
I'm not sure I like SM2 more than 3, I just like SMW much more than both of them. Yoshi's Island is better than SM2 and 3 too, I think.
I watched a couple of these and I actually think I hate it! I'm sure they're nice guys but the cut aways and visual gags are way too much like Jim and Derrick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2UhgSad0rM
Interesting. The only one I have seen is the above video, do they verge too much from that style?
The rest are a game chasers style thing with them striking out at flea markets. The top ten thing was nice, music wise, but I think the writing was a little off (you know, never say "tight controls"). Over all it was OK. The game chasers things just don't have much to them. Lots of forced attempts at humor, no big cool finds. The guy on the right has a nice smile though.
