Has anyone here heard of LSD: Dream Emulator for the original Playstation? It was released only in Japan in 1998 and it's basically the retelling of a dream journal one of the designers had kept.
The wiki explains most of it better than I can http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD_(video_game)
But it is truly one of the most confusing/wonderful/scary/everything games I've ever played.

I'm making it a goal in my gaming life to play that game.
I'm only 21 days in (each dream is a day, lasting about 10-40 minutes) and it's pretty damn hard to continue gonna finish it though. Seen some insanely creepy stuff too.

Thanks, E3.
Glad I'm not the only one who kinda felt like this. Also, kinda annoys me that a ton of people are flipping out about a console having 1080p. Welcome to 2007, Nintendo.

Playstation Vita could be good, probably won't bother getting one though.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations trailer was f**king amazing.
Skyrim gameplay was amazing too.
Not much else that caught my attention from E3 though.


Skyrim in a midnight release, special edition for me, for sure. Dat gameplay video.

All else I'm really excited about is Human Revolution.

I've just got to figure out if I should try to build a computer that can run Skyrim well, or just buy it for 360. Hmm.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

^ Human Revolution looks great, I'm only worried about PC version being too console-like (you know).

I'm somehow expecting Duke Nukem Forever, even I know that I will be disappointed a lot. I saw the demo (even only youtube video of gameplay), I saw all these nasty things that bugged me. I'll still want to play it though.

Skyrim looks spectacular. As with every TES release (since Morrowind, I was too young in the age of Daggerfall), I'm anticipating it a lot. It will be revolution.

Stoney, it's being built around the 360 architecture so I wouldn't bother building a PC for it unless you're doing it for the mods.
Skyrim is being released the friday before the week of my final school exams, f**k my life. Will probably order online though because f**k paying 109$ for games.

Dirt 3 is frustrating the hell out of me at present but it's an excellent game. Smile

Good, good my young padawan. I played this 1-2 years ago and it was what I imagined this game to be. Polished, with save option (I hope) and also with support for high resolution.

Visuals in this game are perfect. And besides, it's French game from Golden Age of DOS games, so quality should be assured.



They say that this version is much more easier than original one, but I don't think so.

I haven't played the original, but this one is definitely not easy.

I shall be avoiding Skyrim.  It will likely require mods to make it even slightly decent.

I'm year 89 and you can be that I spent many hours in 90s trying to play this game. As I remember it, it was incredibly difficult. My father, who then was better player than me, could do few levels, but not more.

I only heard this difficulty difference, I'm not sure.


But yeah, this new anniversary version is very difficult. The most difficult was the level where you have to shot some rocks and whole level will flood. Quickly. You have to (also quickly) run back and ... etc etc. This was difficult as hell.

Hehe. I was waiting 2 weeks before playing The Witcher 2, I wanted to wait for patches to be released. Some people say that they raised FPS by 70%. I play on notebook. Powerful one, but still it's just notebook. So it was MUST for me.

Same with Duke Nukem Forever. I will foolishly wait for someone to mod the game, so I will be able to use more weapons at once. Not just 2. I hate that.


And finally, Skyrim. You are probably right. I waited half a year after release of Fallout New Vegas. It was worth it. I downloaded such mods as:

better sounds, better textures, more nice looking map, more map markers, re-balancing of some game mechanics, new quests ... patches !



Skyrim will be the same.

^ Well, Fallout New Vegas was an absolute mess at launch, the worst for Bethesda, I believe. Skyrim is using a new engine so it could be glitchy, but that gameplay video is miles better than Oblivion.

Agreed with Stoney, although I'm an optimist.
Also, I invested far more hours into vanilla Oblivion and enjoyed it more than I did with mods overall... It definitely had its problems, but saying it was unplayable without mods is ridiculous.

Finally another fan of racing games on ProgArchives.  Haven't noticed one despite the abundance of racing fans.  I've picked up all 3 Dirt games the week of their release and loved them all, and this one may be the best yet.  The new rally locations (Norway, Finland, Kenya + Michigan) are all awesome, and I'm really digging the Gymkhana events even though they are way more difficult than the real races.

Out of curiosity, are you playing with a controller or with a racing wheel?

Im excited for Skyrim. Despite what most seem to think I have faith in Bethesda. Itll be fine and not Vegas.

This is gunna be my for fun file and I'll make a new one to play for real LOL


Bantam I love racing games.

Hey guys, I'm writing this from the year 2046 using my time machine app.   I just wanted to tell everyone that Half-Life 3 was just released and it's amazing.  The only problem is that it's a little hard to play with my arthritis and cataracs.


Time always wins.

I encountered very strange bug in Fallout 3. I had Fawkes as companion (playing on extremely good karma), so it was either him, or this androgynous thing (android also).

He's funny, because with Broken Steel DLC, he is invincible. I did not want this, I wanted to get rid of this and finally had to stop using him as companion, because with him, every fight was instant win.


Over the course of game I accumulated 40 mini-nukes and fired all of them at him. He had 70% of health. I did harm him though :-)

Damn it Walter...erm James. Even though we all know how you feel you must stick the thorn in every possible chance?

Joel, I forgot to ask...you said you were playing that LSD game? How did you get it?

Also, I was lost in world 2-2 and found...THE BEES
Dude I was talking to this guy and they started floating into my screen, well I went to get a drink of water...a few minutes later there was like, 20 of them waiting for me Shocked
Also found Patches, my bro told me about him... "Go ahead and grab that treasure" (looks at giant beast on top of it...falls in front me) "oh sorry! I didnt mean for that to happen what bad luck!"

What an assLOL

How am I remotely like Walter?  I'm not just in love with pre-1989 games.

I just don't really like the Elder Scrolls series.

I tried to uninstall Oblivion the other day as I need hard disk space desperately... I've lent my GotY Edition to Dave upstairs and so I cannot uninstall it!  I'll go and badger him later and borrow it back.  Morrowind uninstalled fine without a disc.  Grrrr!

THE BEEEEEEEEEEES
I'm playing LSD Emulator as an ISO on an emulator. Not the most legal route, but I'm not gonna pay like 200$ for a disc + it's considered abandonware nowadays by most.
Patches is a dick, he does that a few times in the game. Then if you punch him he's all like 'WOT WAS THAT FOR?!'
