Doesn't the majority of them have stories?
This one, which also has a cool cover.
sheeit that's one of the issues I'm missing. Hell I'm missing both Adventure adaptations

darn that's around the time I stopped reading the comics, though I did follow still for other evil reasons, sweet looking cover.

I had this before I had Adventure 2, and I'm glad I did have it growing up. I think this comic and the dreamcast demo (that and Sonic Adventure 1 being an amazing game) motivated me so much more to get Adventure 2.
Maybe it's cheap on ebay, I still have my copy in my closet.

I'm pretty late to the comfort food games discussion, it would seem (work is keeping me really busy as of late). I'll just talk about one:
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
I've held on to this little GBA cart for a decade now. With the map editor feature, the highly challenging War Room scenarios, and the huge variety in COs, I could play this game endlessly. Once you're comfortable with how the game plays, its turn based nature also makes it highly conducive to playing (with the sound off) while you listen to a podcast or watch a stream.
It isn't difficult to figure out how to push around and exploit the game's AI. Luckily, the game provides you with a bevy of options to create situations where you have to be good at poking holes in its logic in order to survive. All of the 4 player maps, for example, can be turned into 1v3 maps. Brutal weather conditions can also be arranged. There's something very satisfying about methodically stocking up on ranged units as Grit and ever-so-slowly pushing your way out of your base against seemingly insurmountable odds.
Additionally, the game's portability and ability to save at any time makes it supremely easy to slip in and out of it throughout any given day. I have left the game (purposefully) just within reach during long study sessions or television marathons, knowing that my short attention span will snap at one point and demand that I play a few more rounds.
I want a new Advance Wars game for the 3DS badly.
Edit: Also, something Sonic related! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6uVnR9B2vY

Lovely, site maintenance on backloggery right as I started making some headway. Guess that's as good a sign as ever to go to sleep.
It did remind me that I need to finish Unleashed HD one of these days. Maybe platinum Arkham Asylum too, since I'm apparently pretty close to doing that.

Okay. What technique do you use to get the straight lines and perfect dots? Do you use something other than the stylus?

Platinuming is like a serious problem here in this thread.
Glad I'm not into trophies/achievements. I barely have the patience to 100% games.
Impressive! I'm assuming it's a Miiverse drawing. How do people draw so well there?

I 100% Sonic 3 and Knuckles with every character, does that count?
Yes
I should be doing that too. I only ever 100% as one character. But the game is soooo good, I ought to 100% it someday. Maybe I should go crazy and 100% all of the save files, hahaha.

Knuckles always felt the toughest, even though his game was the shorter of the three. It was a blast discovering the other parts of the levels Sonic and Tails could never get to.

I don't usually 100% games... definitely did with Sonic 3&K, Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario World and Ocarina of Time 3D, though.

I'll 100% a game if it's well within my ability to do so. If it's something where I have to play through the game more than a handful of times to get everything, then yeah, I probably won't bother.

I'll 100% a game if I think it is worth my while. If I feel a game has some inane requirements to be considered "complete" then I typically pass.

I play a lot of RPGs, so I have a tendency to go for 100% with them. I sometimes even go out of my way to 100% some RPGs I don't even like because I just have that RPG completionist compulsion. I can 100% some platformers, but not all. It depends.
Heck, I platinumed Graces and Xillia twice. Graces was a fun platinum, so I enjoyed doing that one. Xillia was a chore and yawnfest because the grade/title requirements are repetitive and require little thought.
TRPGs, especially when they're on a portable, are easier to manage and they're good to play in bursts. IntSys games are definitely part of the cream of the crop in terms of TRPG pacing and mechanics, as you eloquently put. I loved that every country now had a CO, and the COs seemed to be more balanced than the original's. And at least the AI doesn't go after unloaded APCs first and foremost. And you're punished for making stupid mistakes.
I hope we get a new Advance Wars soon.

This sounds so fantastic. Someone tell this guy to put something out on Bandcamp or Soundcloud already. It's so awesome.
Put it on the Google Play store, please. :/
This is awesome! Man, I wish I could draw as well as that. It looks so good.Rate me
This is a great post too (and man, I know that feeling of bein' busy or preoccupied--I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on your new job, so congratulations!).

Okay yes, I'll give you that, if it wasn't for Sqwaks, that level was a piece of cake.
I still need to 100 percent DKC3...wait no...hell no, screw that. I remember I tried then remembered I had to play the game on the hardest setting to do it, screw that...the thought of doing that on Rocket Race is a nightmare.

It was a really good show, yes. I always kinda liked "Perchance to Dream".
And unlike ViewtifulJC, I happen to quite like the Nostalgia Critic (as if the avatar wasn't a dead giveaway). Albeit I haven't watched any of his post-return videos other than his Roger Ebert tribute (which I didn't much care for, although I respect why he made it).
I'm actually wanting some generic short answers if anyone would about a question I have. Asking here instead of the Shenmue thread as you guys are pretty diverse in views.
Is Shenmue good? I don't want to know why as I kind of don't want to be spoiled too much, but it's like the one Dreamcast game (other than that creepy Seaman game I'm never going to play) I haven't tried yet.

From what I've played, I'm enjoying it. Although it's slow so far but I heard it picks up later. I like how alive the towns are (npcs having daily routines and day/night cycles)
I want Seaman.
I was frightening myself trying to guess if that spoiler was an actual spoiler or the usual hide something behind a spoiler messages.
Yeah, I really want to give Shenmue ago. I'll probably try it out when that Gamecube monitor comes in.

fuckin' called it, man
I liked Sonic Heroes as a child
I had fun with it, although it's been a while since I've played it. Guess I'll roll Team Sonic to pass the time till PSO2's servers go back up.
Did you play on PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube?
Thank god this PSO2 update doesn't seem very long to download. It seems I'm only more than halfway there now (just started 10 or so minutes ago). What is new with the update?
As for Sonic Heroes... I enjoyed it the first time I played it, I think I ended up disliking it when I tried playing as other teams. Team Chaotix was the worst. It's been years since I've last played it though, I'm actually kind of willing to give it another go sometime. At least the OST of the game was very enjoyable, so there's a motivator. Which version is the best? GC? That's the one I had.
