Popo and Nana (Ice Climber):

Adam Blampied (WhatCulture):

Star Man (Pro Wrestling (NES)):

Takamaru (The Mysterious Murasame Castle):

Isaac (The Binding Of Isaac):

Lucario (Pokémon Gen 4):

Scipio Africanus (Nerd³ Completes WWE 2K16):

I've been replaying the Xbox 360 version of Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing. For those of you who haven't played, there is a subtle filter on it in game and it makes it CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUG, like to estimated single digit framerates in some areas. It's fun and I enjoy it, but you can't tell me no one thought "Man, this filter is a major framerate killer, let's remove that."

I've been addicted to Overwatch lately, loot boxes are like my drug man.

[The_Wall_91]

After going through my basement, I stumbled upon a box. In this box, there was a decent amount of my N64 games. After searching through the box to see what games I had left, I found in the Google Play Store a N64 emulator.

So, for about the next couple of weeks, if you don't see me on Teamspeak, just know that I will be going through a nostalgia trip of my pre-teen days.

[NASCARLOVER427]

I had the weirdest thing I've seen an AI do in any video game ever. So I was watching an I Quit match on WWE 2K14 (remember when you could do that?) with 2 of my female caws, one of them slapped on a Kimura, and the ref walked to the other side of the ring and out of sight. I just thought he was just going to activate the minigame because I've seen some stupid referee shit in this game, and he ended up running around the entire ring before putting up the microphone. The best part other than the action itself is that she still quit from it.

Forza Horizon 3. Get it, people. I need more rivals to beat.

[Groribe]

Has anyone played Sly Cooper lately?

[UndyingLight]

I've got a couple games I would love to buy.

Yes. I am well aware I am a totally boring person.

When I've not been finding new VN's to play (Thanks Mike ) I've been working my way through Forza Horizon 3. It's finally the racing game that new gen consoles has deserved for a long time. I've enjoyed it thoroughly so far.

I've got the Bioshock remastered series to work through as well as Mafia III among many others.

It's been a good month or two for games. A lot of solid releases!

If you wanna add me on PSN/XBL, I'll leave my tags below.

PS4: bja95
XBL: bja1995

I'm also currently called #LEMONS on steam with Emi from Katawa Shoujo as my avatar. I shouldn't be hard to find if you wanna add me on there too

So videogames are without a doubt the heart and soul of my relaxation time.  Here's just a few of my favorites:

• F-Zero GX (actually really any F-Zero game, but GX takes the cake for me)
  

• Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.  No doubt the highest rated Zelda game of all time is one of my favorites, so much that I've even tried a few speedrunning tricks with it.
  

• NR03.  Because of course.  Still amazes me the number of mods and tracks the community has created for a 13 year old abandonware game.
  

• Mario Kart.  My love of racing games is unbelievable, and I have the 64 version of this series to thank for that, even if that version is a bit janky to play today.
  

• Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X.  I certainly enjoy both iterations of the Blue Bomber, and have played both of these games countless times.
  

• Super Metroid.  Honestly, I love Samus as probably my favorite heroine of all time, and this game introduced me to just how much ass she kicks.
  

So those are a few favorites, but currently I'm playing Pokemon Fire Red.  Reason why I'm playing that instead of Sun/Moon is because it is actually my first Pokemon game.  A good friend of mine who loves the series and competitive battling recommended I start there.  So far I'm enjoying it and who knows, it may spark me to try other generations of Pokemon games.

You're a Mega Man classic fan? That makes two of us.

My personal favorite was always Mega Man 4, with MM7 trailing closely behind. I've played every game up to MM9.

Also The Megas (band that does rock covers of Mega Man tunes and sets lyrics to them) are an awesome band. I encourage you to go listen to the History Repeating double concept album, based on MM3. So many badass songs on both albums. But if you still prefer MM2, their first album Get Equipped is good too.

[Rovenami]

So....I got Minecraft today.

[Alta]

Death Stranding looks wild.

My roommate is a huge Mega Man fan, and I personally like the series as well. MM2 is my personal favorite.

Glad to see a couple of Mega Man fans here!  Oh and for clarity, while I do love MM2, I'd load up and play any of the classics anytime.  They're all so good (well, MM8 doesn't exactly sit well with me or much of the fandom, but still, amazing series).  Also glad to hear someone say they love MM7. It's my second favorite in the series as well and I wish it got more love!

I got a copy of WWE 2K17 and I made a Chris Jericho alternate attire.

You know what that means...:

Also I think my copy of the game can charitably be considered "fucked". Need evidence?

[Groribe]

Any one played NASCAR Heat Evolution?

[Spannerhead29 (Nelson)]

The Last Guardian is absolutely amazing. I was so close to crying during the final half hour of the game, with how the graphics and soundtrack tying in with the compelling story line, making everything simply beautiful.

Platinum is going to a bitch though. The game's been out for nearly two weeks now and they still trophies that no one in the world has collected yet (also meaning no one has platinumed it yet either).

[BooyakaDragon]

World of Warcraft was basically the game that stuck with me for most of my childhood. I've played every expansion except for the break I took during Mists of Pandaria. This is a screenshot of Aszuna, one of the new zones from the Legion expansion.

[Alta]

Played the Gravity Rush series to start off the year and i gotta say it's a pretty fun game.(if you can ignore some of the anime tropes it goes into because i know that's not everyone's thing)

Hoping to get Nier: Automata to give my new PC it's first stress test so to speak.

[PackerMan71]

Just bought Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64 and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for WiiU.

Don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for a while.

[RyanB06]

I saw someone speedran BOTW and beat it in under an hour.

Be prepared to laugh constantly while playing Conker's Bad Fur Day.

First stress test went really well, had lag in cutscenes but that turned out to be a pc port thing.

Game is really good btw and i definitely recommend it. Still looking for excuses to not do a re-run like a week after i beat it.

I submitted a level to a Mega Man level design contest a few months ago, and the fangame that the level is supposed to be going into is nearing its completion. Here's the trailer for Make A Good Mega Man Level Contest 2!



The contest results have been streamed on Twitch over the course of this weekend, and out of 81 levels submitted (one of which was disqualified), my level officially ranked 21st! This came as a massive surprise to me, because I'd thoroughly believed that my level was shit (and I do have a self-deprecatory commentary of my level prepared for when the rest of the contest results are released). Evidently, the immense amount of effort I took to creating the background artwork and stage graphics paid off. Somehow.

The game itself will not be released until sometime in mid-June, the contest organizers have not put a set release date on it yet. After my experience with the game engine in lieu of creating my level, I can confidently say that my laptop would probably implode if I tried to play this game on it. If you have a stronger computer, however, I do encourage you to go download the game when it comes out, especially if you're a fan of the Mega Man series! In the meantime, here's the stream where my level was shown off, skip to around 3:06:30 to see the level in its entirety (it did kinda break the game, but don't worry about that. ).

Xfinity and Trucks have finally returned to a console NASCAR game:
