What are you playing right now?

Holy crap Darius Burst just released on Steam. Either I'm hallucinating this or reality is cracking. This was one of those "holy heck this looks freaking awesome but I'm never going to get to play it" games. Originally this was a Japanese arcade exclusive, and one of the most bloody GIGANTIC arcade "cabinets" out there. Seriously, the thing is freaking enormous, with the longest damn screen I've ever seen.

To put it in better words: "It had a huge, dual screen display, and the sound was so loud that it could rattle adjacent buildings if you left it up too high! Furthermore, it could even support simultaneous 4 player co-op. Sitting down with 3 of your friends to battle giant cyber-fish was a truely awe-inspiring experience that impressed Darius fans, but the cabinets were so massive and rare that very few players ever got to experience the game in it's full glory."

Frankly the "battle giant cyber-fish" bit would have caught my attention even if I didnt already know what Darius was.

I have played the iOS version of this on my iPad (not available on phones, because they would explode), and it was freaking fantastic. Been awhile though and I suspect some things were changed. To see it on PC, just.... yep. Gotta be hallucinating or something. Not that I care as long as I get to have it...


EDIT:




EDIT 2:

....there is a boss with a name of "Great Thing".

I love whoever made this.

Wow...! Kuraudo777 mention Final Fantasy seven and suddenly everybody started talking about it!

I find it funny that even though Meteor is supposedly going to hit Gaia in seven days, you can take as long as you want. It's sort of like:
Tifa: Meteor's going to hit the Planet! We've got to do something!
Cloud: Let's go Chocobo racing!
*one month later*
Cloud: Okay, now it's time to stop Meteor.
I wonder if it will be like that in the remake too or if there will actually be a time limit.

It's kind of ironic that I don't like time-limits in games at all, yet I actually want a Meteor-crash time limit. Self-destruct escapes *cough Metroid games cough* are the bane of my video game playing existence.

I love the Prime 3 menu theme.


I finally started playing FFVII again, but I haven't got very far at all.

"(hero), (person or setting) needs your help quick!"

"you're not ready? ok, feel free to come back when you are."

Yeah, especially when music like this plays in the background:

At the moment, I'm playing Everlasting Summer.

after about two or so hours fiddling with the installer, copying the contents from the cd to my hard drive, restarting the computer to load the neverhood's restoration project site and then receiving an nginx error, having permission denied to copy to the HDD on my windows 7 desktop, and having the raw game play incredibly slowly and with corrupted colors on both computers...

...i finally found a way to smoothly run the neverhood on my windows 8 laptop via scummvm. i am very happy this purchase wasn't a complete waste of time (i'm sure i could have pirated it if i was a little less incompetent).

WWE 2K16. It is not that good.
