After tomorrow I get a week off. I think I might go pick up Resonance of Fate tomorrow and lounge around naked and play video games all fucking week.

Maybe go camping or something if I can fit it into my busy gaming schedule...

I finally bought a Dreamcast for 30 bucks. It comes with a game that is a secret until I get it. Any suggestion on games to get for it besides Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and the various fighting games I want for it?

I used to kick his ass at it, but I think he got tired of that and practiced a ton. I noticed he had a bunch of different camouflage patterns for his tank, and he proceeded to wipe the walls with me and Blasto. What a dick.
I only recall him wiping the floor with YOU. Like I'll proceed to wipe the floor with Riley, if he ever mans up and faces me on Battle Tanks. Which will most likely be never since I've heard through various sources that he is a woman.
Don't be mad that you can't beat everyone after you drank an entire bottle of a strong alcoholic beverage.

Just buy a spindle of CD-Rs and bookmark the following:
http://www.underground-gamer.com/
http://dchelp.dcemulation.org/?BootDreams (just download the program, it's so lobotomized now that you don't have to read anything at all).

Honestly I'd fuckin skip the Sonic games unless you're on a nostalgia trip, and even then, don't bother with the 2nd one. That's just my perspective, though. Assuming your fighting games include MVC2, some SF title, and Power Stone, don't sleep on:
SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW
Ikaruga & Rez - both fucking mandatory
Under Defeat - Play AS anime nazis!
Jet Grind Radio
Chu-Chu Rocket

Also-ran - House of the Dead 2, although unless you're down to drop some dough on a zapper, you'll be playing with an onscreen target controlled by the analog stick. Still great fun, though.

I'm thinking this Friday is a PS3 kind of a Friday, with me playing Uncharted 2 and God of War 3.
I'd be down for some Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Survival Mode

Crazy Taxi
Hydro Thunder (Despite not being widescreen, an excellent port of the arcade version)
Seaman (Just talking about this makes me want to play it again)
Silver (Some didn't like this port of the PC game, I loved it)
Stupid Invaders (Pointy and clicky)

Bah. There were two gripes about the game. It was too much like a PC RPG (which is a non-brainer since it's a port of a PC game), and the camera was too far back in some areas. THIS was a problem at times... I mean that camera is back literally a mile in spots. But I liked the storyline and the PC gameplay on a console at that time was pretty cool.

It wasn't that PC really. It reminded me of Zelda in alot of respects (leveling system, camera, boss fights, upgrades,etcs). The graphics were very.. Final Fantasy 7ish too.

My problems with Silver was the controls (not that good) and the fact that they don't tell you what to do 99% of the time, which meant you had to run around aimless looking for the next scene trigger. This would be fine if there was other things to do inthe game, like say, in Oblivion or whatever, but there is usually one goal at a time in Silver.. and it sucks when you don't know how to do it.

Also, it's buggy as fuck

Speaking of Hydro Thunder, whatever happened to the console port of the new sequal, H2Overdrive?

Evolution had it's fair share of flaws but it was still one of a very limited few decent rpgs on the dreamcast. I didn't think it was that bad.

even with the limited rpgs, it's pretty low on the totem pole.

Skies of Arcadia is awesome as fuck
EGG is a fan-fucking-tastic game
Phantasy Star Online holds up
Grandia 2... ok, it's not good but it's miles better than Evolution
Silver, also not good, but better than Evolution

Time Stalkers is the only RPG on the Dreamcast that is worse than Evolution...

Yes. I've become a huge fan of From Software and Atlus. This will be purchased.
