What game would you put yourself in?
Here's an interesting thread I've never seen before. If you could put yourself in any game franchise/universe, what would you put yourself in?
I just replied myself with World of Warcraft mainly because that's the only game I've been playing for the past few months but I read some pretty cool responses. Kingdom Hearts, Mario Kart, and Devil May Cry are a few good answers I definitely agree with.
Monthly Game Club!
OB member Matt has recently come up with an interesting idea for the arcade; a thread (or club) where once a month everyone plays a classic game and then discusses it. See: The Classic Games Club
The Arcade has been a little slow lately and it's nice to see creative threads like this going up. We have a lot of gamers but we all have different tastes which is why this thread will be really interesting for me. 
Ads that make you cry.
I was surfing around today and I remembered those early PlayStation 3 commercials - you know, the slightly odd ones.
I think this is probably my favourite of the bunch:
It's probably my favourite because it's just so, well...bizarre. This reminds me a little of the David Lynch PS2 commercials from back in the day. Did you ever see those? One of them involved a car hitting a deer. The scene goes into slow-motion and the car kind of crumples up around the perfectly-unharmed deer.
Those ads were pretty cool I thought, considering their theme was all about warping reality and such. I'm not quite sure about this baby though...
What are the weirdest TV commercials you've seen? Post your YouTube links below!
Arcade Update
This poor forum hasn't had much coverage lately, so I thought I'd link to a few of the latest discussions there. There are some great ones, too!
I think this will be a very interesting thread, partly because I think this game itself is going to be somewhat controversial for traditional Mario Kart fans.
Mario Paint Composer: This Program is Genius!
I had thought Mario Paint was long gone until I stumbled upon this little gem. Does anyone still own Mario Paint? I still have my copy lying around somewhere, although I don't use it anymore.
It was an interesting game/program for its time and I think in some ways it gave a glimpse into the future of Nintendo (especially with some of the things we're seeing on Wii).
Definitely a nice nostalgia trip for some of us.
If you could make your own game...
This thread has been up for a little while, but I just felt the need to put it up here.
If you could make your own game, what type of game would you make? It's lead to some pretty interesting discussion so far and there are some great ideas here.
