My first post is loooong gone. I can't view it in my history and even if I could, I edited it so many times to freak people out with my awesome psychic powers.

If memory serves, somebody had something in their sig about buying Ape Escape 2 but getting a copy of Ape Escape Pumped and Primed in the case instead. The same thing happened to me so I made an account just to say "The same thing happened to me!"

Not very memorable but it was the beginning of a legacy of wasted hours.


you can go back through the my topics section of forums

But it wasn't my topic.  When I came on this site, I probably made one topic (which failed horribly) every four or five months.  My first post is lost through the mists of time.  I edited it for some sort of scavenger hunt, anyway.  I left clues all over this site once and whoever followed the trail to its conclusion got a free Wii game gifted to them. 

It doesn't just list the topics you started.  It also listed the ones you posted in.

I can't read Dutch but by the looks of it, this is just a store deal, not official. Nice deal though.

LOL it isn't deutch. It's the language from Nederlands. Don't know how it it called.

 

Dutch

 

This guy made me get out of the lurker status due to the extreme facepalm post he made.

@Thismeintiel, Thanks!  For some reason, I was thinking of the "My threads" thingy instead of the "My topics" thingy.


My first post is no more but I assume this is my second post: 

"Having played video games my whole life, I find it funny what constitutes "hard core". Back in the day, games like Contra or Super Mario were main stream. RPG's and light gun games were for the hard core. Then there was a time where non-Street Fighter fighting games, or non Nintendo/ Sega systems were for the hard core. In the 32 bit era, games like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Mario 64 were main stream. Games like Rez, DDR, and Vagrant Story were for the hard core.
Now, if a Contra game is released for the Wii, it'd be considered a game for the hard core. If a game that didn't have a big following in the 90's like Dance Dance Revolution (which was for the hard core back then) came out today, it would be another example of Nintendo going main stream.

Long story short, the definition of hardcore differs based on what the majority is playing. There is no set definition of hardcore games. It's just a term that more avid gamers use to build themselves up."
