Your favourite gaming steeds

I dont think i have seen a topic like this in gaming, and i was sitting reminiscing about old Mega Drive games today. It made me think about the unique animals/creatures that you get to ride on and also possibly in some cases use as a weapon or power-up. I will start by what game made me think of this:

Flintstones - Red Bird

http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/33819-the-flintstones-genesis-screenshot-i-can-fly-i-can-fly-s.gif

You got this bird when it hatched from an egg on various levels, which allowed you the ability to fly. Not only that, but it was able to breathe fireballs out, killing some of the nasty enemies this game had.


Golden Axe - Blue Dragon

http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/103/1039474/GoldenAxeInline_1256673022.jpg

This was my favourite steed quite simply because of the flame attack it had. It differed from the red dragon, which shot out individual fireballs, which were oddly a bit too inaccurate and slow to fire. Combined with the running attack, i much preferred the blue dragon over both the red dragon and also the cockatrice.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time/ Twilight Princess

http://bulk2.destructoid.com/ul/177411-top-ten-most-wanted-announced-3ds-games/3DSOcarina-620x.jpg

She doesnt have a attack of sorts, but the speed aspect to trample enemies definitely means she can be included in the list. Since Ocarina of Time, i have loved just galloping about Hyrule on Epona. Just changed the complexity of the game for me, especially after learning her song as child Link, and then rescuing her from Lon Lon Ranch as adult Link.
Twilight Princess has almost the game effect on he when i first seen her, only more bulkier and defined (although Eiji Aonuma has never confirmed that the horse was in fact Epona.. Her presence was missed greatly in Skyward Sword, and sorry no, Loftwing aint no substitute at all. I hope we see her back in Links next adventure.



So whats your favourite steed!!

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

HEATWAVE! Arrrriba! This is my island in de sun! :lol:

Never gets old. Nah, what pisses me off the most is that they actually have continued to leave the song "When love is gone" out of current releases, such as the original DVD release. I swear, it better be restored for the Blu Ray! Michael Caine is also on record that this is his most memorable role for him in all of the films he has ever been in. But if i was asked, i could not pick my all time favourite festive movie between this and Love Actually. In fact i shouldnt even try, they are just two different types of Christmas movies.

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Pete, don't you think thats a bit harsh? We all have our issues and god knows Adam has his. We're all friends and while we may piss each other off I don't think we should let things come to this. He didn't need to create another account, he broke the rules and if he keeps breaking them then its totally reasonable that you ban him but try not to make it personal by saying the kind of stuff you have. Whatever issues he has, and whatever is causing him to act the way he does he'll have to deal with it. The best thing to do is just respond to his actions without making it too much of a spectacle.


So its ok to just have this happen over and over and over again? This is a regular occurance, and its tiring. Its not harsh at all, he made an alternate account to come back and do the same things he was banned for. Not too long ago, there was a blanket ban on new members signing up because he was banned and making alternate accounts. You have been on message boards long enough not to do that and so has he, and its not just attacks on other people now its threats of self harm . Are you serious?

I am not gonna go down the road of "oohh you need to get help", or "get off the internet" because its been done before and its not happening, nor will it work. He created his own forums to get away from here and in less than a month, look what happens again. Dont you think its slightly odd that his "outbursts" are only here and not at his forums or even Hazuki Dojo? I was finished with him ages ago. I am not a friend of his. I disagree with a lot of principles he lives his life by, with number one, living a life on the internet. I am done talking about him because thats what he wants. Thats what he needs. His blue font to make him stand out.

I dont need that. Other members, old and new dont need that. Any online community doesnt need that.

Re: Review The Last Game You Beat

I have became a huge fan of Fire Maple Games, after buying their two games The Secrets Of Grizzly Manor , and The Lost City for my smartphone. Point and Click adventure games much like Myst etc, they are both stunningly beautiful, and quite intriguing. The first release, The Secrets Of Grizzly Manor was like by a lot of fans, but given the general criticism as being too short and also a bit too easy. But apart from that, the game still was extremely well designed and also well put together, also sounding great:

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j290/PeterC2005/reviews-grizly-manor-5.jpg


For their next game, The Lost City acted as a spiritual successor to The Secrets Of Grizzly Manor and the developers took on board the gameplay duration criticisms and expanded the size of the product, whilst retaining all of the positives from their first game, including the simplicity of the menu, item options and beautiful screens. Due to the size of the game, a map screen was also included and also a hints book in the options menu. Also added was a seasonal system, where you can change which season the games location is set in. This makes the challenge of completing the game a lot harder too, since only certain items can be used in certain places on the map during certain seasons. I would say it would last 2 hours if you sat from start to finish without a break:

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j290/PeterC2005/Lost-City-01.jpg


I love these games, and have replayed through them a few times. Despite knowing where everything goes, and how to solve every puzzle, i still find the visuals and simplicity of the game fantastic, and a fun way to kill some spare time when your bored. I was also stoked to learn that they are releasing a follow up to these, with even better visuals and a story! I have posted more about it in the Indie topic, which you can view HERE
If you have a little bit of spare coins lying around, these games are cheap as anything, and can be bought from the apps store on all devices. Trust me, buy them. You wont be disappointed! :D


The Secrets Of Grizzly Manor - 7/10
The Lost City - 8/10

Re: Random Thoughts! v2.0

Thanks bud. I wanted a new one for a while now. Big thanks to Wude for sorting it out for me, and also giving me a quick tutorial on making gifs. The man is a legend :nice!:

Just in the gym, about to start my third and final set of resistence and decided to log in to see the Ryudo show had another episode. Henry has banned him for a week. Seems like even ignoring him just provoked more attention seeking. Its a shame to be honest, because he will eventually be perma banned and he may not regret that at the time, but when Shenmue HD/Shenmue III is announced, he will miss out on it and only have himself to blame.

Re: TWITTER

I stopped using it because I got bored of it and how useless it is. And fuck off with this popular bullshit and shove it right back in your ass where you got it. I don;t hate anything because popularity. You guys are fucking retards for thinking that.

Yeah because Bone thugs was never popular or Coolio or Eazy E or Metalica or pink Floyd,cyndi lauper.

Star Trek Breaking Bad, Mad Men,Ninja Turtles,Thundercats,Dexter and more

Final Fantasy,Portal,Sonic,SEGA,Dreamcast,Genesis wait I have 305 games a large portion of them are well known! OMGTF same with my DVD's. So seriously fuck off with that shit really pisses me off.

So fuck you I'm out of this topic before it gets worse but I'm tired of that disrespect


Then get out of the topic! You were given a weeks ban and within an hour of being back your getting up peoples backs again? Put it like this, you disrespect another member on here AT ALL, and your banned for good. Got it? Oh and if you are wondering what disrespecting members entails, its telling them to fuck off, shove anything up their asses or calling them retards because they disagree with you. Pure and simple.

Re: Few tech ????? Suggestions wanted

It is a luxury, but mines is justified by the travel aspect. I have the Samsung 7.7, and it was easily the hardest choice i have had to make in terms of hardware.... ever really. Bit a laptop is a much better choice if a tablet doesnt offer the specific services that its made for.

Again for a smartphone, Samsung all the way. The Galaxy range is amazing, and for me, trumps its main rival, iPhone in every department.

If it were me, i would combine the tablet and phone budget and go with the Galaxy sII smartphone. Its the same as the tablet etc and id say thats all you need. There is the Galaxy sIII, but i think its worse than the sII. That phone has been my life for the past year. Best phone i have ever had, and will have an sII in 5-7 years, regardless of all the new releases that come out. For todays needs, the Galaxy sII is easily the best out there. In Europe anyways.

Still having trouble moving freely with my stitches, so phoned in sick to work this morning and said i wont be back in until Wednesday. Hard to believe i am almost 30 and this is the first time i ever did the monday morning sick call. Have to say it feels amazing! Dont even care i literally have never seen a worse TV show than this programme i am watching right now. I have never seen an episode of this in my life, but i have heard of it before. All i can say is, Jeremy Kyle, take a bow son. Bob Mortimer on Shooting Stars was absolutely spot on. You really are King of the Gypsies :lol:

Man accused of raping a duck, in Turkey

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/man-rapes-duck-in-turkish-village-.aspx?PageID=238&NID=30133&NewsCatID=341

A man was detained in Bursa province in Turkey’s Marmara region for allegedly raping a duck, daily Habertürk reported.

Police forces detained the man following complaints from his inlaws, who claimed he had raped one of their ducks during an overnight stay in their house.

The man’s father-in-law said he found "feathers and blood" in a bed with the duck.

The duck was "unable to walk," according to the father-in-law. The man’s mother-in-law told daily Habertürk she later discovered the man’s bloody shirt by a tree the next morning.

The 50 year-old suspect denied all accusations, calling them all "slander."

The duck was found to have suffered deformation and damage to its intestines and underwent several operations. It is now reportedly in good condition and remains in a vetrenarian’s care.

Re: Shenmue Excluded From Sonic Allstar Racing Transformed

I know Sumo are Shenmue fans. Saying that they dont like Shenmue is idiotic. But so is posting on a Shenmue forum after Ryo has been discovered to be cut from the game, comments like:


Ryo does not fit the criteria plus we got Joe Musashi & Vyse and the Dwarf from Golden Axe. Fuck yeah more for me. Your loss.
I swear Shenmue fans act like they are so entitled and throw a tantrum every time it does not go their way.

... really do just ask for trolling and flaming to be directed in your path? Honestly, just open an account over on the COD forums and tell them how you know more about gaming than they do. Would give us a break from your arrogance. :???:

Re: 50 Years of James Bond

Craig has been my favpurite Bond, but only simply because the movies are becoming more of the type of movie i enjoy more. The suave, innuendo, sometimes upper lipped Bond of yesteryear never appealed to me, and to be honest, i always viewed the Bourne trilogy as something that the Bond franchise could have been. But i know it has a huge following, and i give that its due respect, but i am just saying i prefer a less corny special agent flick.
