Some video games do let you choose your own adventure! Dragon Force comes to mind, though that isn't a good example. I guess Anearth Fantasy Stories might be a better example, but you get my drift. Video games still rule them all.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

YEAH RIGHT!  Next you're going to say that videogames are better than motion picture masterpieces like Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Shrek 3!!!  Then you'll say that the game industry makes more per year than the movie industry!  Gamez r teh worst!  Even shitty books like Lord of the Ringz is better than something st00pit like, like, like Gradius!  There weren't any Lords OR ringz in Gradius!

My wife is a big fan of the original Dragon Warrior, & digs all games.  I'm a nerd, & I'm really nice, & I payed attention to her, & tell her how beautiful she is, etc., etc., and tommorrow(June 1) we celebrate our 5th Anniversary!  And believe me when I say it doesn't feel like it's been that long.  Maybe a year or 2.  It's still hard to believe I'm married, since I never had any real girlfriends up until her.  And things are great.  So, I'm not bragging, but, I'm showing ya'll, you don't need to be a buttmunch to find the RIGHT girl :wink:

Every girl I ever tried to f*ck or f*cked had no clue what the hell the original dragon warrior was.  So I will make a disclaimer about my previous advice: If a girl knows what dragon warrior from 1989 is, you dont need to be an a$$hole, but good luck.

Video games are better than motion pictures! Just compare an epic war game like Insector X to lame shit like Star Wars. And YOU ARE WRONG, JOE! There are LORDS and RINGZ in Gradius! The lords are the ones who master da game and the ringz are from da ripple laser! GUESS WHO'S WRONG!

Wow, I didn't figure anyone else on a PCE board would know Orange Juice.  "You Can't Hide Your Love Forever" is a great album.

Don't get too excited.  No one's picked up on my Captain Beefheart references and no one batted an eye at my mention of the Chrissy Hynde/ Adam Seymour cover of 'Nebraska.' 

Although, I'd be impressed if anyone knew the names, in chronological order, of the drummers the Cure has had without the aid of the internet.

Blazing Lazers rocks, and my wife thinks so too.

You know I was thinking about comparing the music from Ys to Captain Beefheart, but instead decided to use N'sync for some reason.

Absolutely :). For some reason, I really like "Upwards and Onwards" even though there are better tracks on that album. I don't know what it is... the song has been stuck in my brain for some reason.

We listened to "Rip it Up" on the way to Boston :). My daughter (3+ years old) actually likes that album and allowed us to listen to it. I was grateful. I don't think I could have listened to another round of Sesame Street songs (although I don't think I'll ever get sick of Grover singing "Monster in the Mirror" :) ).

I only have Trout Mask Replica and some compilation "best of" album :( . I never really had the desire to check out anything else, though, to be honest.

I don't think I could name more than two folks who have been in The Cure, let alone the drummers... wait, I can only name one person and he's the singer! No joke :).

My wife collects cloth diapers. There's no way in hell she's going to whine about me collecting classic video games. :dance:

I could see any child really liking the song "Rip It Up" as it sounds so bouncy and goofy.
