@thatonepony !vgp The universes are canonically connected, and we don't really know how much time Chell was trapped in Aperture Science. It actually looks like they're pushing to link up the two storylines; whether that includes characters is completely up to speculation.

"I’d love to see achievers thrown a bone at some point, and for NPC villages to have some kind of interaction, and for more interesting monsters to appear, and for Mojang to give me a pony." - from the GameInformer review of Minecraft. http://oat.nu/3hxw0 !ponycraft !vgp

Spending the weekend playing all of the first Silent Hill is accomplishing something, right? Right?! !vgp

@puzzlemint @leonkfox !vgp Physical appeals to me in a way digital never will. Holding the box, having a manual, having a hard copy of something as it were... something to put on a shelf and display, and be able to hold onto for archival purposes. This is a very good thing. Digital, on the other hand, is glorious for being able to get something as soon as it comes out, pay the people who created it so that they can survive and keep on making awesome things, and usually allows for instant patches, add-ons, updates, and other fun stuff. Pros and cons, etc. I'm ok with a developer having full control over their own sales, as that cuts out middlemen and allows them to reap the profits of their own work. I'm not okay with DRM that makes it so once they're tired of supporting it, it goes away and suddenly you can't play what you paid for. But I kinda wish all titles were available both digitally and physically...

BioShock is excellent and I am somehow very late to the party. !vgp

I spent the day building a replica of my house in Minecraft. I'm not sure how I feel about this. !vgp

Minecraft would be incredibly fun if it weren't so... tedious. !vgp

@strawberryspice The very first model of PS3 was fully backwards-compatible (could play PS2 and PS1 games). Later, they removed the PS2 hardware due to cost and tried having the backwards compatibility via emulation, but it wasn't 100% so rather than deal with attempting to support it they dropped it entirely with models after that. All PS3s are compatible with PS1 games. I have one of the first models with full backwards compatibility myself ^_^ !vgp

!vgp Being a fan of single-player games, this PSN fiasco hasn't bothered me much. It's still annoying that it's still ongoing, fattening up the anti-Sony trolls...

@puzzlemint !vgp Awesome, I'll have to try that. Last I tried was last year sometime, and I don't remember which emulator I used but I was running Mac OS 9 on it and TaskMaker wouldn't even launch.

@puzzlemint !vgp As to AlephOne, been following it since its inception. The Trilogy Release was a historical day for sure. Marathon, Marathon everywhere. I used to frequent the marathon.org boards, but fell out of that around the same time the marathon.bungie.org story page boards were launched... around 2004-2005 I think. One of these days I might actually finish the fan scenario I was working on from back then. Or make an entirely new, Total Conversion, Equestria-related scenario. Or something. #reverofnohtaram

@puzzlemint !vgp TaskMaker may very well be the primary reason I keep that system around, as everything else is either *now* cross-platform or works well under emulation. TaskMaker only likes to work on that system. Perfoma 6220CD running OS 7.5.1. Glory.

@gequalsz !vgp Mac had more games then DOS/Win up until around 1996. That rig is for such classics as the Marathon Trilogy, Pathways into Darkness, the Exile series, Realmz, a number of the Sim games, AfterLife, TaskMaker, Stardust, a bunch of games that are cross-platform that I just happen to have had for it originally (ThemePark, Syndicate, WarCraft, Myst), etc.

@brony4life !vgp Oi, let's see here... Nintendo: GB, GBP, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, N64. Sega: GG, Genesis + Master System Adapter + Sega CD, Saturn, DC. Sony: PSP, PS1, PS2. Tiger: R-Zone, Game.com. Misc: Atari 2600, Watara Supervision, CDi. For computers, I have a Win95 / DOS gaming rig, a classic Mac gaming rig, a relatively good Win gaming rig, a Commodore 64, and an Apple IIe. I think that covers it if I'm not forgetting anything. I tend to collect retro gaming stuff ^_^

!vgp Hey, we should share Steam accounts or whatever. I'm rpb3000 on there (and basically everywhere).

!vgp There are far too many great videogames out there. I could probably name at least 10 per major console alone, and that would be pushing it. I suppose Yume Nikki, the Marathon trilogy, the Half-Life series, Phantasy Star, and Sonic CD all rank really highly in my personal books, but that's just off the top of my head.
