Oooh, cel-shaded 3D Chrono Trigger. Yeah, that would be cool.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Wouldn't it, though? My brother loves the original as much as I do, but thinks a remake would be a much harder sell than FF7, because it doesn't have nearly as much name recognition. I'm thinking now is the best time to do it. Dragonball is hot again because of Super and I'm sure you could rope in those fan boys with "You get to play as a red-headed Goku with a katana who can also blast people with lightning."

Hey. New board.

Played a little life is strange today. I like it! I have it in steam but will likely mostly play it as a phone game using GeForce now.

Hey. New board.

Finished episode 1 of life is strange. It's interesting. I have never played any of these narrative interactive novel type games, but I'm digging this. I think when I'm done I will maybe check out Kentucky Route Zero and play it the same way if I can.

Oh, I've heard good things about KRZ. Never tried it though. I've played all the way through the first Life is Strange - I liked it a lot, although the last episode and some intense stuff in it.

I think this was suggested before and now it seems a bit awkward, but would there be interest in playing an in-thread game of Pandemic? I could run it and provide links to screenshots after each player goes. It wouldn't be a fast game.

I'd be interested! A little irony is good for the blood.

Awesome! A couple more and I'll do it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'd be in if you don't mind the time zone differential. (Ryan might like to be involved too, he enjoys Pandemic.)

Not at all, will make me feel less guilty when I take a long time to update.

That's 2 maybe 3 room for another one or two if I just manage.
