    My knowledge is more around retro gaming as I'm a bit of a collector in that regard. I have an entire double wardrobe dedicated to retro games and magazines covering mid 1980's to the late 1990's.

    Come at me, ladies.

    "Compared to who?"

    Basically, I could say I am because I know more about gaming than anyone in my office, and perhaps more than most people in the city.

    However, compared to the likes of some people at EoFF, I'm a fair bit behind. I just don't have the finances nor the time to really push through as many games as I'd like to push through. I do like to think I cover a very broad variety of games over the past twenty years, though.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Pretty much. Although you're probably more updated than me still. I'm a nerdy honky but I'm still a filthy casual.

    I'm about average though there are some series I know very well, even the entries I did not play.

    Yes... Yes you can. You, Pike, me and my Missus can have a four-way.

    I have a SNES Multitap, you see.

    Sounds good. When can I come over? Even though I am a fat American, I promise not to eat everything.

    My door is always open.

    Though that's mainly because my huge pile of NES games don't fit into the corner of the wardrobe properly.

    So while writing my latest article about Dragon Quest X coming to the Wii U in japan I needed some price points for the Wii U bundles in America to put in. What did I do? Did I look them up? No. I knew them off the top of my head and what came with each bundle o.o Someone Help me D:

    I only know what genre's I like and I usually judge Action/Adventure/RPGs on their skin before I give them a shot. Otherwise I need outside feedback before trying a game. I'll waste time playing games I don't like (shooters, sidescrolling, etc.), but I usually dish a lot of guff.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
