As a regular on the internet, I must warn you that this is good old hillarious satire. If you were expecting stupid christian soccer moms, you can and will be dissapointed.

Re: Link Dump
Bit sad seeing all of the comments that take the site seriously. On every single article on Christwire, about one in every ten comments points out that it's a satirical site, yet about half of the people who comment fail to realize that.
Humanity, I am disappoint

A superb, must-read comic by the creator of Earthworm Jim, Doug Tennapel.

Re: Link Dump
"What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time... But, for a certainty, back then, We loved so many, yet hated so much, We hurt others and were hurt ourselves... Yet even then we ran like the wind, Whilst our laughter echoed, Under cerulean skies..."
I wanna go replay Chrono Cross but am not sure if I still have the game
Also, this. I loved the opening theme, but this song really makes me think back on the game... beautiful music.
In a way, it makes me sad; a 12 year old song evokes more emotion in me than most entire games do these days. Great games used to be works of art- now, more "gamers" care about casual gaming, games that don't make you think, shallow games that can be fun, but that don't affect you emotionally. I miss games like this. They're increasingly rare... in fact, I can't really think of a modern game that's had much effect on me emotionally, or been thought-provoking. Maybe a few moments in games where I was legitimately "Aw, that's sad," or some clever twists (also increasingly rare) in the likes of games such as Bioshock. All limited, though. MGS4 a few years back was probably the last game I've played with the storyline as a complex driving force, something you actually cared about, and not just "here is another generic FPS, enjoy." Not to trash modern gaming at all; some modern games are as brilliant as their more aged counterparts, at least in terms of fun if not art. It's kind of hard to pinpoint exactly what I'm finding lacking in modern games that seemed abundant in a lot of my favorite older games. Not necessarily a complex storyline, but a well thought-out one. It could be simple and still be touching. That seems horrifyingly lacking in the modern gaming world.
Hm. I'm begin to sound dangerously like the elusive GAMING HIPSTER with my talk of old game superiority... I dunno. Do any of you guys kind of get what I'm saying? Maybe I'm just being nostalgic and weird. I think I'm going to go curl up with my PS2 this summer and replay some games that really deserve replaying.
You're right that is a really nice song, and I appreciate a good soundtrack
My personal preference for breathtaking soundtracks is this number: Endings and Beginnings
My favourite video game soundtracks are probably the Halo series, Elder Scroll series and all of Valve's soundtracks. Being younger I can't really relate to the nostalgia, my most heart wrenching moments in video games were when Sergeant Johnson died in Halo 3 and Carmine died in GoW2..
Is it normal to get emotional over the ending of Twilight Princess?

Re: Link Dump
I'm torn between two soundtracks that are both worthy of being called my favourite.
The Supreme Commander soundtrack is one
The Mass Effect 2 soundtrack is the other.

Re: Link Dump
I personally love the Jet Set Radio Future soundtrack, I think it was a pretty under-appreciated game for it's time.

Re: Link Dump
Are you kidding? Everyone talks about how great they think jsrf is, I think it's over-appreciated. I have that game, and while the art style was fantastic, the gameplay was meh, and the music was awful.
