#Amazon.com, #DotD, #Deal of the Day, #Final Fantasy, #Chocobo, #Cute, #Video Games, #NDS, #Nintendo

Amazons Deal of the Day got my interest right away: Final Fantasy Chocobo Tales for the Nintendo DS priced at $20. I've heard some mixed reviews on forums, but the reviews seem pretty decent: An 8.3 (impressive) from IGN; an 8.0 (great) from Gamespot; 67% Fresh on RottonTomatoes; and an 8.3 from users on Metacritic, with 75 generally favorable reviews. Seems not too bad.
The game is essentially a bunch of minigames with cute, large, yellow chicken-like birds (the Chocobos, whom we all know and love). The games range from typical Mario Party fare to some sort of card game (which I got really excited about hearing because that was one of my favorite aspects of FFVIII and FFIX).
Of course, with all DotD's, it may drop to $15, or even $10 (VERY unlikely), so you may want to bide your time; but don't wait too long or it will turn back into a pumpkin at midnight.

Alright, I know, this site isn't about everything anymore, it's about deals and such, but since I run the site, well, we're having a video today.

Hitler's Ultimate Downfall... catch the video after the break and then leave me some hate-filled comments.

For those that don't have it yet, Amazon has their video game DotD up for the 23rd: Final Fantasy XII for $22.99. Not a bad price at all for a new game.

#Escape the Room, #Video Games, #Crimson Room, #Puzzle Game, #Puzzles, #Veridian Room, #Chambers

Lately I have been on a bit of a puzzle kick. My friend Wane Theisis came over earlier this week for Spring Break and we played some Resident Evil 4. So far not too many puzzles, but a great game none-the-less. I then found a game online that I had totally forgotten about: Crimson Room. It's basically a flash based puzzle game where you escape the room you mysteriously awoke in. There are various follow-ups such as Veridian Room, White Chamber, and Blue Chamber, but Crimsons a good place to start. You can find the main page for all the games in the source.

And, I believe I will be making a Escape the Room game myself, if I don't lose motivation/forget about it.

So what are some of your favourite puzzle games? Oddworld? Myst? Perplex City? MOTAS, the start of the ETR genre? Or something nobody's heard of? Alright now discuss, but no spoilers!

#MAME, #Video Games, #Arcade Games, #Emulation, #DIY

I want to build a MAME cabinet. For those not in the know, MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. MAME itself is an emulator of arcade games with the intent of preserving gaming history and preventing vintage games from being lost or forgotten. This is an application anyone can run on their home computer, which in turn runs ROMS; basically images of arcade games dumped to a file. You might recognize the ROM portion as pertaining to CD-ROM's; ROM simply stands for Read Only Memory, meaning it is data which can not be changed, but is rather simply read.

#Customer Service, #YouTube, #Videos, #Humor, #WRV, #Weekly Random Video

Sorry for the late posting, my jobs been keeping me a bit busy. Here's this weeks WRV, entitled Youtube Customer Service: Earplugs Required. I've never worked phones (although I know those that have), but I can attest to the fact that it doesn't matter if it's on the phone or in person, people can be jerks for no real reason. I don't think I ever imagined Youtube would even NEED phone tech support, but I can see this happening. I think sometime I ought to call in and let them know how much they rock... but I'm sure they would just be annoyed that I was wasting their time. Anyways, watch the video after the break, and maybe throw some funny customer service stories in the comments?

#EBay, #Auction, #Video Games, #SNES, #Super Nintendo

Do you like video games? Vintage games? And do you have, oh, say, $15,000 you've been trying to unload but just haven't found that perfect item?
Well look no further, as this ebay auction is ready to make all your dreams come true! The seller has up for sale EVERY US SNES GAME, complete in box, many unopened. The cost is high (about $20 a game), and it's totally impractical, but I for one wish I was super-rich for times like these.
