Abandoneer
, The House of Games and Classic Reviews have all updated. I'm leaving yesterday's sites up top for today, too. Reason? I updated pretty late Tuesday (actually around 10am Wednesday morning) so some of you won't have seen them yet. Also, I just like having a bigger list of updated sites than Lone Lee. If ePeens were real, I'd be stroking mine right now.
Finished watching Red Dwarf VIII tonight and I realised something; there was a real studio audience for VIII, it was actually VII that they ditched it for. I never noticed they brought back the audience rather than using a dodgy laughter track while it was on TV originally.
Ordered The Godfather on PC today, so that should be here by Friday. Pretty much everyone at work is playing it and telling me how awesome it is, so I have to join in. Mostly so I can prove I'm better than they are, but also because it just sounds like a good game. Most of them are playing the PS2 version, so I hope the PC version doesn't have too many bugs (and that I can set up the controls for my DualShock 2 pad to match the PS2 version).
*gone*
The first phase of nominations for Da Awards were closed this weekend and the results are in. Abandonware Ring made it to top 4 in category "best ring". Our crew is popular too, Swizzle got nominated for "most active scener" and I got nominated in three relevant categories ("most active sc ner", "most helpful scener" and "most dedicated webmaster"). Even LD, you see, even that rogue was nominated, although in a somewhat minor award ("funniest" scener, whatever that means).
Anyway, what matter...
- Abandon added Duke Nukem 3D (the demo version it seems. DN3D is still sold by 3D Realms or a subsidiary).
- Abandoneer reviewed X-COM terror from the deep, changed servers (yeah, go there and test-drive their downloads once more, this time it's for real), and got nominated in two categories on Da Awards (in things like Best New Site, not "Funniest" new site thank heavens).
- Abandonia added Crystals of Arborea (yet another game with a vile entity called Morgoth, in clear reference to Tolkien's The Silmarillion) and, here's a rare one, Popeye. This game looks awful but, man, it's Popeye! I have to try it.
- On BestOldGames's last update they've added Crazy cars, which looks like a PC-based Top gear -- looks good.
- Classic Reviews posted a very short review (almost a note) for Eye of the beholder, the supreme dungeon crawler.
- Emurom added three new roms on their last update, which I don't know when it was. (Add date to your updates, guys!)
- Holy File added Desert Strike: return to the Gulf and cool Pizza Tycoon.
- Joe Games, still totally out of control as during the last few weeks, added no less than 20 new titles in the last two days. This is going too far. Seriously. I know I shouldn't do this, but I will: I hereby challenge Joe to add another 20 tomorrow. He has up to midnight! This insanity has to end somewhere. I'm serious. The challenge was made.
- House of Games added... oh my god, Elevator action. The original arcade version was very cool, and the PC port probably sucks, but there you go, it's always Elevator action. But the best update from them is that Erde Kaiser managed to make some of his relatives be filmed for a national TV show with House of Games shirts he made on purpose only for this opportunity. Great idea!
I go to update and there are no sites. I check the front page and he did it again. Stole my update. Bastard. Although in fairness, it's not as though I've shown up on time the last couple of weeks. Maybe if you webmasters were sexier and wore swimsuits I'd pay more attention to you. Although it's probably a good idea that you don't. I remember some of the horrors on Bloodat's Corner. Stuff of nightmares, that was.
Lone Lee, the Funniest Scener award means people like me more than they like...
