I am. It's in my blood.

Pretty much the main reason I've started to just buy physical GB/SNES/GG games. It's ridiculous that I can't even depend on Nintendo to release glorified rom dumps in a timely fashion. (Or at all, really.)

(Amazingly there wasn't already a good GIF of this, so I had to make one.)
It isn't the greatest game of all time by any stretch, but I do adore this game.
Sonic fandom in a nutshell
Psh, I've loved this generation. Even if everything else was terrible, the massive strides that the indie gaming scene have taken would be enough for me to love it. Games like Mark of the Ninja, Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, Bastion, FTL: Faster Than Light, and The Binding of Isaac are coming out on a regular basis now. It's also been a great time for platforming games, fighting games, and strategy games.
Edit: There are also good Sonic games being made again! That's pretty cool!

The Game Gear is a major battery eater though! :l
AC adapter! I had one because my parents were tired of buying batteries.

Game Gear (and most Game Boy) games are still relatively cheap these days, too. Might as well jump in before prices jump up for some weird reason like what happened with SNES and Saturn stuff in the past few years.

Saturn games were always expensive.
Can't explain SNES, though.

Me and my brother played on a Nomad, 2 player style while on a Greyhound from Denver...all the waaaaaay to Bama and we were just fine. You can live!
And here's your rechargeable battery pack! Now no more wah wah!

Nomad...that name sounds familiar.
I think I had one at one time, I played some game called Crusader on it.
I remember holding a big black brick.

True, but even still, prices aren't the same as they were, say... two years ago.
I remember looking for a copy of the US version of Megaman 8 a few years ago, and the general price range was around $50-65 for a complete copy. Now it's ballooned to $100+ for some weird reason.

Jeez, and I got a CIB copy for $25 back in 2006.
Obtaining rare titles really is an expensive endeavor these days.

Nah.
Yes
But only occasionally, the last anime I watched and enjoyed was Fate/Zero.
Jojo's Bizarre adventure is a pretty good adaptation though.
Sometimes... but you knew that.
Whenever I can.

We always derail discussions so it's fine.
Also um...
I used to watch DBZ as a kid. I can't remember much animes I actually got into but recently I watched Afro Samurai and starting to get into Samurai Champloo.
EDIT: oh, Outlaw Star was pretty cool... I think at the time I watched it, but I was really young so idk if it aged well or not

I watch DBZ Abridged whenever there's a new episode, if that counts...
edit: actually, last thing I saw was that jazz kids show from the Bebop guy, which was OK-ish I guess.

I would say it did, especially when you watch the uncut version and get all the cursing and boobies you missed as a child.

Used to watch it a lot, stopped sometime in '08, though. and kinda lost interest ever since.
I tried getting back into it a few times, but never really found anything I was interested in.

Still it's new, that's all I was getting at.
It's fun to realize what they cut and edited and why.

Oh yeah, this too. (Although I usually fall asleep during it.)

3 Pillars:
- Ninja Gaiden Black
- Devil May Cry 3: SE
- Bayonetta
Right? That's how I always saw it.
I think this generation came out as being a double-edged sword more than anything else. Neither excessively positive nor negative.

I should start doing that. -_-
That sounds fantastic. Tails' Adventure is incredibly underrated. Kinda borked in some bits, but I thought it was alright. I'd play it.
I like the video because you don't get to hear him lose his shit often. I don't even know.
While I've played a lot of good games this gen (yes, SonicGAF, I have; I know it's surprising), I still can't help but to feel that a lot of the games/IPs I've liked in the past have been relegated to being casualties, have been scraping by with the bare minimum of effort, or players don't respond to them as they did in the past.

I had an AC adapter but for some reason it never stayed in. I had to trudge around with the 6 AA batteries.
You know what I think of anime.

I'll believe it when I see it!
Hating Square Enix and Capcom is the right thing to do.
Capcom put out Ghost Trick and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, so they're alright with me. It's too bad that they did... everything else that they've done lately.
Everyone on this thread should watch Fate/Zero. It's kayos approved.
I can too. All on one hand! lol. I kid.
I'm gone after like one shot lol.

I'm surprised you weren't here in 2008... I think of you as a regular and I assumed you were an old school GAFfer.
stop playing bad video games and you'll hate them less

I don't think I could make a very useful per-year list. I generally play more retro stuff and I'm pretty slow on the uptake with a lot of modern titles. I'm only just now playing through Valkyria Chronicles properly...
Schala's taste doesn't seem all too dissimilar to my own. All the games on her lists that I've played I've really enjoyed, and the ones I haven't are mostly things that at least seem like stuff I would enjoy.
Last anime I was watching was uh... Slayers I think. Need to get back on that sometime.

When I think back on this generation, its not gonna be about the favorite franchises that didn't impress me, its gonna be about the ones that did. Contra, DKC, Punch-out, XCOM, Rayman, Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom, Bionic Commando, sin and punishment, Pac-man, Max Payne. Along with the new franchises like Mass Effect, Uncharted, Saints Row, Gears of War, Assassin Creed(well, until recently), Left 4 Dead. We got two GOOD console Sonics for the first time since the Sega Genesis. We got two GREAT Batman games for the first time since...uh, ever.
And I can't forget all the gems from Platinum Games or Valve, or all the wonderful new titles I've found on PSN/XBLA/Steam. Or just the quality HD remasters that let me replay some of my favorite games, looking and feeling better than ever.
I didn't get Viewtiful Joe 3 and I didn't get a new Star Fox, I know. But this generation has been good to me. I'm optimistic for the future.
