At kongregate.com  I'm now playing the Papa Louie's series of restaurant games, most notably "Papa Louie's Pasta-ria" where you have to cook pasta, garlic bread and other delightful Italian goodies just the way the customer ordered them, or you get a bad service rating and no tips in your jar.  I also believe (though have never had it happen)  that if your customer service rating goes below a certain %age, you get fired. In any case, the papa Louie's games are fun, and good calorie free fun at that.  I personally recommend "Pastaria",  Burgeria" and "Hotdogarea".  And with this post, baby makes 1000  :cheers: :bouncegiggle: :cheers:

Congrats on your 1K post, Umaril!

Now playing the classic WARLORDS, an up to 4-player mix of Pong and Breakout.

Thank you, kind sir  :cheers:

I remember Warlords, and if I remember right it was the first (or one of the first) multiplayer games that went past the traditional 2 player mark.

ELIMINATION/QUADRAPONG (1974 Kee Games/Atari) was the first game with more than 2 players at once.

So Warlords was basically Quadrapong meets Breakout.
Warlords may have been the first ball-and-paddle arcade game where you can "catch" the ball and release it at your leisure.

Bought myself Rayman Legends yesterday. And it's great. Really looks good, sounds good. The musical levels are fun. Tons of extras to earn. Can't complain if you like 2D play formers.
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

With the release of Stalker Lost Alpha been going back and finally playing Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl.   Played Call of Pripyat but not Shadow of Chernobyl or Clear Sky. 
Ah, the good old days.

For all the years that game's been out, I never played it, but heard lots about it. I remember one gaming magazine saying that watching bullet casings fly, and watching the paint chip off of the walls was "a great reason to go out and buy a 500 or 600 dollar video card."

Anyhow, I recently am re-playing Skyrim and messing with certain enchantments. 

I recently finished "Dawnguard" again, and did it with a level 53 Nord with heavy Dragon plate armor with tons of archery, combat and magic resistance charms.

Compared to the other times, the Vampire Lord Harkon was a p***y this time. 

His life drain spells were just a bee sting, and his claw attacks did NO damage to me, and I was standing there saying, "is THAT all you got, Dracula"?   :bouncegiggle:

Oddly enough, it was Harkon's daughter Serana that dealt the death blow to him,  as it fit with the storyline that she was forced to kill him. However, it was Auriel's Bow that set up the death blow. Man that's a kick ass weapon!

The series is great and fan patches can be requisite at times.  However, with that said each one is great and has multiple I don't want to say Total Conversions but complete rewrite campaigns that add much.  Also, there is Lost Alpha and Build 1935 it is great to see the earlier nearly completed versions of the game that were scraped and being able to experience places that didn't make it in the final cut.  Thoroughly recommend to anyone who hasn't played them.  Though, they are very I'm trying to think of how to say this Russian or Ukranian developed in style.  I mean that you have to accept certain things and different ways of thinking out problems then most games will present.  Also, where else can you play a game that Vodka cures radiation? 

For any interested,
http://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-build-1935/downloads/stalker-build-19351  That is build 1935.
http://www.moddb.com/mods/lost-alpha  That is Lost Alpha

Neither are expansions they are complete independent games.  Though, there is not much in the way of support for 1935.  Lost Alpha is needing a bit of patching a few quests won't complete properly or will crash at certain places but being worked on. 

Sorry to say so much there, just love the Stalker series and thought I would put somethings out there. 
Ah, the good old days.

Just played the insanely hard and horrible HAUNTED CASTLE, the first original arcade version of the CASTLEVANIA series-- not counting the Playchoice-10 or VS. versions of the NES Castlevania game.  Just horrible.. you get ONE life (3 continues) and the everpresent bats are GUARANTEED to irritate the hell out of you.  You seem to be Simon Belmont about to get hitched and Dracula takes your bride away.  You spend the whole game trying to get her back and at the end you don't even SEE her at all.  You beat Drac and the game just starts over.  Konami spent precious little imagination on this one.. a rare Konami flop.

I've played this one before, and yeah, what a stinker of a game for Konami; shame, shame!    :buggedout:
