Most of the good stuff that came out on the PC Engine and its CD counterpart came out in Japan only.

By half-assed I meant very limited and poorly and marketed.

I got to the last boss in sf64 once, and then died and stopped playing. We were renting it from Blockbuster.

Dude is a motherfucker when you're a kid that hasn't really played a video game before.

Still sounds like most games now.

Well, at least now you have the internet to find out what you missed. Back then, you didn't have shit.

If you know where to look I guess, I still don't know what half the games coming out are. Though I haven't paid as much attention to new releases as I used to, really.

Guess I don't care quite as much about games as I did in high school.

All I know that I want to play is Animal Crossing, Diablo III, MoP, and Guild Wars 2.

I don't know that there are any games coming out that I give the slightest shit about. Maybe after E3 I'll know.

best place by far to get information is from sites' podcasts hosted by editors in the industry

I like to formulate my own opinion before hearing someone else's opinion

not saying you personally use their opinion, just saying I don't like hearing what other people think before I come up with what I want to think

All I know is there are going to be a billion modern military shooters coming out that I'll have to sift through to find like the one game I might want to play this year.

I pee on all Modern military shooters.

i dunno, i think they're just on the cusp of losing popularity

maybe because of the influence of mobile games and free to play games
