I love gaming, but don't get to play as much as I would like to.

My favorites are rpgs - I used to love the Final Fantasy and Chrono series back in the SNES and PSone days. Now I really dig western rpgs - my favorites are the Elder Scrolls games, Fallout games, and Mass Effect. I really like good action adventure games too like the new Batman games, Assassins Creed, Uncharted, and stuff like that.

The king of games will always be Super Mario 3 though :animal:

Right on, Trey, I watched a lot of Fallout New Vegas and ME3 as well, great games that are really involving and fun. I love the Uncharted series, I think they're some of the best games ever. On YouTube you can watch each Uncharted game as a movie, played by a super pro who only does enough playing to drive the plot along, with no commentary. They're each about 3 hours long and totally awesome to watch, really really fun.

My fave game ever is probably Hero's Quest I/Quest for Glory I, old Sierra type-in RPG.

It's really funny and cool, Skip! 3 part series I think... it's a BBC show so over here you gotta torrent it for now.

I've been on a big Sierra On-Line kick again the past couple weeks.. Kings Quest and Space Quest series from the 80s/early 90s... love those old games where you have to type in your actions like 'look Trey's car' and 'steal Trey's car'.. those are my favourites of all games ever I'd say.

Did you see that there's a kickstarter for a new Space Quest style point and click adventure game from the guys that made Space Quest?

I remember hearing about that a while ago, but I totally forgot about it. Torrenting it right now!

[Ryan]

Hey Colin! I did check out that Kickstarter for the Two Guys, really excited about it too! I hope it goes, I'd be so pumped for a new Space Quest, that would rule hard.

What did you think of the Dirk shows?

[Scruffie]

There's also a kickstarter for a point and click Wasteland which was the basis for Fallout, should be epic.

Very cool. I may have to watch the first two Uncharted games before I embark on the third game. I just started playing Fable 3 the other day - it's pretty good so far.

As for television. Holy shit, I just got through watching the first season of Game of Thrones. Everyone should get on board with this show. It's sooooo good and I completely regret waiting this long to give it a shot.

Wilfred is back, good start hey!

Anybody watching Hamish and Andy's Euro Gap Year? Tuffbud? Love those guys!

For Adult Swim right now they've got Metalocalypse and Eagleheart, both awesome. New season of ATHF starts on Sunday!

I wish Game of Thrones had more magic and monsters in it, more D&D basically... it's too political drama/family drama for me, that just ain't my style... I'll stick to watching Skyrim walk-throughs! *smile*

[t-rey]

Yeah - the newest episode of Wilfred was crazy. I am really glad I started watching that show. And I am super pumped about Louie starting next week as well.

As for Game of Thrones, one of the things I like most about it is that it is less D&D/LotR and more medieval treachery, power struggle, and general badassery. It has me wanting to play a good strategy game, which I plan to find once I replace this pos computer.

[Ryan]

New ATHF was awesome and I like that now it's called Aqua Something You Know Whatever.. catchy name.

I hear you, Trey, not everybody enjoys 1000 year old mages casting magic missiles at goblins... but that's what I need to survive.

[t-rey]

There was a new Aqua Teen Patrol Squad?!?! That is fantastic news indeed.

And, don't get me wrong, I love mages and magic and elves and dwarves as much as the next guy (probably way more than the next guy). But it was a pleasant surprise to see Game of Thrones taking a different approach

[Ryan]

I love ATHF..I love every season, I love every dumb name change, and I especially love Carl and Shake. And Ignignokt. And Oglethorpe. And the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past.. From the Future. Ok I love every character that's been on the show, that show rules.

I bet you've got a bag of dice in the glove box of that car, don't you, Trey? Dice with lots of sides... I'm picking up what you're putting down buddy.

Workaholics has been hilarious so far hey? Tonight!

[t-rey]

ATHF changed my life (and I'm only exaggerating a little bit). I stumbled upon it way back in like 2002 and from that point on I was able to find rad stuff that fit my sense of humor. I really love the fact that the whole indie/alt humor stuff is much more mainstream these days.

I have no dice in the Camaro. I've actually never owned or rolled 20 sided dice, which astounds me since I'm such a giant dork. The dorkiest of my endeavors while I was busy not getting girls in high school were Magic the Gathering early on, the Warhammer 40k (so I've got a shit ton of dice around somewhere, but they are all 6 sided )

Workaholics has been great so far. They have yet to trump the sheer awesome of the Juggalo or To Catch a Predator episodes, but it's still better than the vast majority of the stuff on tv.

[Ryan]

I feel like ATHF changed my life too! It was the first adult oriented counter culture style of humour show that I ever watched and it was my entrance into the world of Adult Swim.. from ATHF I got into Sealab, mc chris, Brak, Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, all back around 2003, and it was a flippin magical time for me, really expanded my humour horizons!

Man, that To Catch A Predator episode is so hilarious.. every single thing that guy says is so funny, I laugh at every line out of his mouth. That guy is actually on another sitcom, Whitney, but it's a pretty vanilla sitcom with a laugh track and he doesn't have the same hilarious way of talking. Juggalo episode rules too, I love it. I love when Anders is on the stage rapping doing awesome and you hear him say 'and you can feel this like a dope set of real tits', haha that's a great line, he's actually a badass mc. Geez I love Workaholics.

watching sifl and olly again so hilarious
chicken flavored air conditioning and pet fax machines

ALL IN VHS QUALITY LIKE THE ORIGINALS!

[Ryan]

Haha I bet I got the same torrent as you for Sifl and Olly... been checking them out lately! Love the VHS quality rip, suits it perfectly. Crazy show!

I've been watching Black Books again the last couple days, man I admire Bernard Black as a business-owner.. he's got a great style. We re-watched the whole Kath and Kim series this last week too, getting ready for the movie...

Adult Swim is doing great right now too... ATHF, Metalocalypse, and Eagleheart... pretty solid line up.
