I played Final Fight 3 for the first time last night. Used three continues to beat it on normal. I haven't played the original Final Fight in a few years. This makes me wonder if I can beat it without cheating now.

Also, why does Haggar have a super-long pony tail? How many years go by between the second and third games that would allow him to grow a monstrosity like that?

Beat GTA4, went with the "Deal" choice at the end and had a bitch of a time getting my boat under Jacob's helicopter at the end. I'm only at like 72% complete.

I downloaded The Ballad of Gay Tony and am just getting started. Goodbye social life again.

I got my 100% in GTA IV and that killed my interest in playing it for some time. Too many fucking pigeons. I'm only halfway through Lost and the Damned and I haven't even thought of starting Gay Tony.

One day. One day.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Nostalgia.

And man it really is Nostalgia. Hafta hit the A a lot in that game...

A really lot.

I hear that Nostalgia is basically like a good clone of Skies of Arcadia. Any comment on that?

Pretty much is a clone, but I'd say average. The soundtrack isn't as memorable, the gamplay is seriously old school hit a and everything dies, and the story is well there.

I finished Red Faction Guerilla earlier. Good game, but they really like to nail you to the wall on some missions, making you fight wave after wave of enemies that just charge at you guns blazing.

I dunno, it has airships but otherwise I doubt anyone would compare the two games.

All PS3 for me right now. I just finished the story mode of Little Big Planet earlier today. I'm playing through Final Fantasy VII, and I'm about 6 hours into that. I just started Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and I have Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time and both Uncharted games waiting for me.

Played through Dreamfall the last few days.

Not much in the way of action, yet the puzzles are really easy. The writing makes up for it, though. I'd have appreciated a bit more of the humor, because what was in there was awesome (mainly Crow and the reformed evil wizard).

I may have to play the original Longest Journey now.

Just started Borderlands. I'm level 9. I have a shotgun that shoots rockets. This would be great if I wasn't a sniper. It's still pretty damn good.

I forgot I hadn't finished Castle Crashers, so a few level gains and sword swaps later, I beat the game!

Also played some Yoshi's Island.

Geometry Wars: Galaxies is pretty spectacular.

DLed Lost Winds 2, never played the first one...this game is extremely beautiful, especially considering it's WiiWare, but goddamn it's frustrating trying to make this little bastard float around.

Still playing Borderlands. I'm playing as Brick at level 26. Such a FUN game. The fetch quests are starting to get a little stale though.

I beat the first Power Rangers games for the SNES a few minutes ago and noticed something weird during the ending.

Zach's 16-bit face is drawn in this style, with the huge, red lips:

Good 'ole fashioned Japanese racism, I guess.

I'm playing Spirit Tracks and am loving almost every bit of it. I say almost because riding the train is about as tedious as the boat in Phantom Hourglass was. It's fun tooting the whistle, though. The dungeons are just awesome.

I know nothing about this Japanese racism of which you speak.

Racial stereotype I choose YOU!

Oh and his name is Black. Assistant Black IIRC or Commander Black or something like that. He spends most of his time answering to a short white man. Oh Japan!
