[QUOTE=Juddybear;18894561]before anything you really should play lunar the silver star story, bro

that is an amazing fuckin' game[/QUOTE]

I plan to play that but I have to be in the mood to start a lengthy JRPG and I'm not in that mood currently. It will be the first on my list when I'm ready to start a new one though.

Right now I'm more into fast paced 2d games like fighters, platformers and shooters. I've really been in a Mega Man mood lately.

you need to start with easier shooters first, since you have a dreamcast you should get giga wing 1 or 2, i'm more or less an "expert" at 2d shooters and ikaruga is brutally hard, it's def one of the hardest shooters ever

I have Lifeforce for NES which I've been meaning to play. What are some good ones on our beloved AES emulator?

[QUOTE=blockhead;18894532]Get this bro: http://neoragex.en.malavida.com/

It has 150 or more NEO GEO games that come with and you can use any usb controller. All the metal slug and KOF games are on there.

juttin and I play it so you know it has the SNK fanboy seal of approval[/QUOTE]

:chug:

thanks bro

i confused though when i open the application it just pulls up a screen that shows a bunch of characters on it but i cant do anything tried opening some of the ROM files with it and it doesn't want to do anything :confused:

sorry for double post

[QUOTE=beans;18894573]:chug:

thanks bro[/QUOTE]

Absolutely man. I will always help any one when it comes to videogame recommendations or help emulating. I don't play many 3d games but I have a vast knowledge of 2d stuff.

blazing star (one of the best shooters ever)
pulstar (also one of the best despite the ridic difficulty)
shock troopers 1&2 (a lot like ikari warriors but a million times better)
sonic wings 2&3 (relatively easy and vv fun shooters)
strikers 1945 plus (great game despite the crippling slowdown)

Try torrenting it from the pirate bay then. That's how I did it and I had no problems at all. It should come up with a blue screen with SNK characters and a list of games on the left.

Also try to just open the actual emulator and select the games from there and see if that will work. If the torrent version won't work let me know.

Thanks for the help bro I'll check some of these out after I beat Rockman 3. Which one would you recommend i start with?

try sonic wings 3 first, it's easy and plays really well, if you're feeling cocky try blazing star, it starts out easy enough lol

[QUOTE=robertsona;18894635]that guys name is definitely josef[/QUOTE]

lol

gonna stop drinking for awhile

why would you ever do that

i need more money and less brain damage

this probably wont ever happen btw

currently bedroom moshin', ending is so cash

listening to new beach house

its basically the same as their last album but really really good

assuming it sounds like wavves but only because it has beach in the title

nah it's like serene electronic-ish stuff if i remember correctly

definitely serene

theyre kinda hard to pin down

like gold panda-ish stuff? i had the most surreal moment in my life listening to gold panda and driving around town once. csb i know, i know

also its a really nice day out i might just spend the entire thing inside playing skyrim

listening to gold panda now, beach house is less electronic

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeaHW-rUsUQ[/url] this is a pretty good example of their sound

the video is hella weird tho

beach house is pretty good. didn't know they had a new album though. getting it

no not like gold panda

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ipyWYO3LM

ah. this is ok but i doubt i'd ever listen to it too much

you get drawn into it and next thing you know youve spent the last 3 hours doing heroin and listening to beach house albums

yeah, now that i've given up alcohol i probably should take up beach house to fill that void

that video ruled though, reminds me of gregg araki movies

[QUOTE=beans;18894808]beach house is pretty good. didn't know they had a new album though. getting it[/QUOTE]

hey bro you ever get that emulator working?

no i could not find a torrent with enough seeds on it. everything i tried was gonna take like 7-10 days to download lol. got any more tricks?

sundays are boring w/o football

there's a finals basketball game on tonight though

more exciting than regular season football imo

more exciting than super bowl
