Those NES games had like 30 minutes of gameplay when you get even halfway-decent at them, so they had to make that shit really hard to get your money's worth. At least, that's my rationale.

Close. It probably had more to do with games of that era being based on arcade games, which weren't really all that long, and were designed to eat quarters- not keep you entertained for a month. Some of them (Ghosts N Goblins comes to mind) are so brutally unfair they're nearly impossible to complete even with unlimited continues. Early arcade games (pac-man, donkey kong, defender and that ilk) didn't even have endings- you just kept going until the game got so cheap that OF COURSE you died.
So expectations re: gaming were totally different. If you managed to actually BEAT a game you were hot shit.

I know I felt like the fuckin BEST when I beat Strider back on the genesis. Every time you died, you were sent right back to the beginning of the section, so you HAD to learn, and you had lives so you were limited in your failures. I was a damn ninja master at that one, lol

I named all my XCOM soldiers after NeoGAF members. Not everybody made it out alive.

I lost two maxed players in one mission. Shit made my soul burn slow.
everytime i see a rookie miss 5 point blank shots, i'll think of beef
a little bit of both, but mainly a turn based strategy. think fallout tactics but fucking amazing.

Maybe it's different other places, but he's on the radio frequently in California. He was on the news for having a free show outside of Staples Center after a Laker game and having an album executively produced by Dr.Dre gets lots of people's attention out here.
Give his album a chance best album, hip-hop or otherwise, this year.
Yeah, I'm in Michigan. I haven't heard any of his songs on the radio.
Gets loads of radio play in Atlanta. Though I could see why some consider him small time
Compared to Kanye, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Jay Z, he is. They're pretty much the only 'huge' rappers right now.
But Black Twitter says he saved hip hop.
People say that everytime a great album comes out...
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
There's a black twitter? Is it like 90% thirst?
And I'm curious to the save hip hop thing. But then again, that seems to be said every time a new artists with a good to decent flow shows up. Like drake for instance

Black Twitter also said the Green Lantern movie was racist because the main character was white.

Even if you only have a feigning interest in hip hop, give it a listen. First physical cd I have bought in like 5 years.
Black Twitter is like that one black person the local news interviews when shit goes down.
But spread out.
I don't know, I'm starting to think PartTimeWarrior is a spy from another culture thread.
