Magnus

Fair enough, but I don't think the pointer would work nearly as well as a mouse. Not to mention the lack of buttons. I think the pointer could really work for games like Pikmin, but in the case of games like StarCraft, you'd end up with a really watered-down experience on the Wii.

Yes. Thank you. Scores after this round: Magnus: 13 Jonnas: 7 RedShell: 6 Cube: 5 / nando /: 5 Dog-amoto: 4 Deathborn: 3 Hero-of-Time: 1 mcj metroid: 1 Patch: 1 Ronnie: 1 Olly: 1

To be fair, you don't see a lot of RTS games on consoles, period. Also, I haven't played it, but The Conduit looks really, really bad. Certainly not a series I'd want as my headlining FPS if I were Nintendo, anyway.

It's a DS game about nine people who are trapped on a sinking ship. Someone please guess it so I can stop feeling guilty about holding up the game.

I think what you mean is that you're the reason being gay is cool.

Don't jinx them!

I was going to wish you a happy birthday in a fake Italian accent, but that seemed vaguely racist, so I won't do that. Happy birthday.

Eh, you weren't going to get laid anyway. Plus I'm pretty sure it's the thought that counts.

Bioshock's biggest problem was that it wasn't System Shock 3, but I doubt that would have changed the opinions of the people who didn't like it.

Writing like this is the reason the writers at IGN get paid the big bucks. Fake edit: The costume looks fine, I guess.

It's the first game, but the character is in both games (Magnus Armstrong, hence why I said he had an awesome name), so close enough. That just leaves the last game, which clearly no one here has played. To sum up: 016: *Puts on German hat* Nein, you will get no hints for this screenshot. 016: Nein. Nein. Get it? 016: I'm really disappointed that no one's been able to get this one, but seeing as how this game - which was recently translated and released in the US - is unlikely to ever be released in PAL territories, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Also, it's a visual novel and the girl in the screenshot is one of the main characters.

I don't need one special day to show my hand that I love it. It already knows because I tell it every day.

A Valentine's Day thread on a gaming forum being depressing? Who would have thought!

I really enjoyed Mirror's Edge. It wasn't perfect, but I would have loved to have seen a sequel that fixed the first game's flaws. Though it's not really surprising that there won't be a one, considering how badly the first game sold. DICE is going to be stuck making Battlefield games forever now.

Haha, you should play the first game.

It's funny how you posted a How I Met Your Mother video, because this reminds me of when Ted broke up with a girl on her birthday, and then got back together with her a couple of years later only to break up with her on her birthday again.

I may have taken it myself. But yes, you're correct. Final (?) hints: 016: I'm really disappointed that no one's been able to get this one, but seeing as how this game - which was recently translated and released in the US - is unlikely to ever be released in PAL territories, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. 022: This is an FPS from a developer that mainly makes FPS games. These days they're mostly supposed to be scary (assuming you find little girls and hobos scary), but this game is the complete opposite of their current ones.

Yeah, it did... But hey - free point! Perhaps... Here's the full screenshot to make it easier to guess which Garfield game it is:

I second this (not the Just Cause 2 part, as I've only played the demo). I don't see how a world as big as the one in Just Cause 2 would really add anything to GTA. I thought the world in San Andreas was already pushing it (the whole desert area didn't do much for me) and I just used cabs to get around in GTA IV, anyway. It's not the size that matters - it's what you do with it.

I was going to say "at least you won't have to buy anything for Valentine's Day", but I thought it'd be insensitive.

That sucks, Dyson (at least you didn't do it on Valentine's Day!).

Some people on here use Tumblr. I'm rocking an old LiveJournal that is now only about games I have finished because people suck and writing about anything else never leads to anything good. [/bitter]

Yes. I knew someone would get it with that hint.

Yes. Yes, it is. I was wondering when someone was going to get it, seeing as how Wikipedia only has about eight games listed as using the Quake II engine. Some more hints: 016: Nein. Nein. Get it? 017: This game was so bad that the developer was kicked off the series. 019: Think one of the most popular and well-known comic strips. 020: This will probably give it away, but 'four' is part of the title. 022: The developer has sadly moved on to making gray horror games.

"If you know what I mean."
