With the Creation Kit coming out very soon, heres an idea

With the Creation Kit coming out very soon, here's an idea for any modders.

I wish you could restore Helgen. It could be a nice little questline. Clear the bandits, gather the scattered survivors, bring different kinds of ore, ingots, and firewood, donate money to the restoration effort...

You could even use your connections to get business. The Arch Mage could use his connections at the college to get an alchemist shop in town, the leader of the Thieves Guild could get a fence and even some legit trade, you could get the Companions to provide muscle, either the Imperials or Stormcloaks to send guards, the Bards College could send word to all the bards in all the inns...

So in my second play through Im changing up my play strategy

So in my second play through I'm changing up my play strategy a bit. Putting the sunflowers ahead of my peashooters as a natural defense in the beginning.

So in the first back 2 rows pea shooters, 2 two rows next sunflowers. Then(because it's still early game) mines and walnuts. I just unlocked the flytrap which is always fun :)

PvZ 2? Yes please.

This is getting a remake. Im not sure how well it will hold

This is getting a remake. I'm not sure how well it will hold up in the era of the Skate titles, but I'm looking forward to it.

This guy is amazing. He is constantly doing SM64 speedruns of different types. He recently broke the 120 star world record. If you like watching people play video games, this is quite entertaining.

If you have an Android phone, this is a great time sink. They've recently opened up microtransactions, which is annoying, but you can ignore them. It's very basic gameplay, you just tap and hold to dive, and you use that to control where and how you land and how far it makes you fly. Very addictive, very fun, very frustrating.

I added a subset of HTML I forgot if links are part of that, I'll check.

Also, I have Bible Adventures AND Spiritual Warfare. Both so awesome!

Ah, I remember this game. I thought it was so cool that it was a blue cartridge!

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 01/24/2012 at 11:18pm

It's interesting when you find out that the blue carts, the gold ones, and the Tengen cartridges were all different because they were unauthorized.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/25/2012 at 02:51am

Im glad they went ahead and put out the games because they were really great additions to game history. I don't mean that in a sort of ironic way, I genuinely liked Spritual Warfare. Its a Zelda knock off but did a lot right and I played it quite a bit. Played Zelda more, but Spritual Warfare makes me laugh and think fondly of the good ol days. Plus playing it made me more confident in my heaven status, or at least at the time anyway. :)

Write about it one of these days. :)

I luckily or unluckily never played any religious games until a couple years ago. I found this at a local game store a few weeks after seeing the AVGN review of it. So, I don't have the rose colored glasses. To be completely honest, my glasses are probably tinted the other way because I'm expecting something funny and bad.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/25/2012 at 03:06pm

For sure. My parents got it for me as an alternative to.... A non religious game. :)

Haven't played any religious games since. Wonder if people are still making them.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 01/25/2012 at 08:10pm

There were the Left Behind games a few years back.

AdamPFarnsworth wrote on 01/25/2012 at 10:34pm

If those were as awesome as the movies... (for the record, I did enjoy all the books, but the movies SUCKED)

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/26/2012 at 02:50am

Yeah the movies sucked. Can't imagine the video games being much better.... *shudder*

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 01/26/2012 at 04:34pm

From what I understand they were horrid.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 01/24/2014 at 02:05am

LOL My cousin, George, still owns the game. I remember playing it long ago.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/24/2014 at 02:21am

Shockingly enough, this game isn't as bad as the nerd makes it out to be. Yeah, the animals are slippery and some stuff doesn't make sense, but as a kid, I loved this game. Still kind of have fun playing it now.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 01/24/2014 at 03:10am

I have fun playing it in the same way I enjoy watching Plan Nine From Outer Space. It isn't good, but it's fun in an "awww, you're trying" kind of way.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/24/2014 at 04:52am

That's how it is for me too, with a bit more "awww, I loved this as a kid" thrown in :D

If you haven't played this game, you're missing out. I'm not sure how well it holds up, though. Going back through my games to plug them all into the site made me really want to get a Windows 98 VM up and running to play a lot of these old games.

One thing you have to say about LucasArts, they have solid, polished games. The cinematic nature of this game was pretty much untouched at the time. Even with some glitchiness, the immersion was high, and the mechanics were great (again, for the time).

I downloaded the free version from iTunes because I saw it

I downloaded the free version from iTunes because I saw it in the top 10 free section on the App Store. I saw Disney as the creator and almost didn't buy it because, lately, I don't really identify with Disney games or movies.

First off the game feels like a Disney cartoon. They really bring a strong Animation effort to the table on this game in the direction of Swampy the Aligator main character. The gist of the game is that Swampy likes to take baths and you need to allow the water to fill his tub. Totally down with the premise and its actually fun to help him out!

Just beat the main "meet swampy" intro thingy and I was impressed that the puzzles were so varied. When... Read All

Recently I beat Borderlands. What an amazing game! What a really anti-climactic ending. Haven't torn into the DLC on the PS3 yet, but I will soon.

Played through as the Siren. Focused on phasewalk damage and early on the game found a very over powered shotgun. I think I prefer playing the game with pistols or maybe I was just lucky and found a lot that dont have a lot of bullets but hit very very hard.

Travis Admin wrote on 01/24/2012 at 04:49am

This is another of my top games this gen. I played through the whole thing, and still haven't managed to play co-op.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 01/24/2012 at 04:59am

Co-op is great. I've played split screen with my friends and online with my cousin. It's basically harder with more people, which is awesome :)

The only thing is how to divide the loot.

Travis Admin wrote on 01/24/2012 at 05:00am

I guess the only fair way to do it is with lots, like MMO's handle it.

Travis Admin wrote on 01/24/2012 at 05:01am

Also, I chose the siren too. I actually haven't touched the other three. The fact that you haven't *really* completed the game fully until you've played it 8 times is impressive, but I can't imagine myself doing that.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 01/24/2012 at 06:17am

So if you beat it 8 times is the ending different?

Travis Admin wrote on 01/24/2012 at 02:07pm

I doubt it. Though that would be awesome.

Travis Admin wrote on 01/24/2012 at 02:08pm

What I mean is that each character can do a new game + so you haven't exhausted all the content until you've gone through twice with all 4.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 01/24/2012 at 03:06pm

Ok that makes sense.

Timogorgon Member wrote on 01/24/2012 at 05:40pm

Co-op is really where this game shines. I don't know if this happens in other missions, but in one of the early quests there was an extra mini-boss character that showed up once we added a 3rd person. Very hard to fight (especially how early the quest was, so our weapons sucked) but it was very fun to take him down. :)

Travis Admin wrote on 01/24/2012 at 06:24pm

Everyone I know who has this game has it on PS3, and I'm not a big fan of playing co-op with people I don't know. I got it for 360 thinking more people I know would get it there, but I was way wrong.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 01/24/2012 at 07:40pm

I <3 mini bosses we need more games where you take down a mini boss and then they become who you fight a bunch.
