To make a long story short, I'm going into hospice in about a week. I will be able to take my laptop and I was wondering what games someone NEEDs to play before passing on. Any info would be great!
Morrowind feggit
>>284134026
Alright, cool. Thanks. Is it long?
>>284133896
Sorry to hear that anon. What's the condition?
For games, off the top of my head, Chrono Trigger.
>>284133896
RE4
Dark Souls
DMC 3
Gears of War 1 or 2
Dead Space
Home console Zelda game of your choice
Halo 2 or 3
Ratchet and Clank 1 or Going Commando
STALKER
>dying before the new mass effect game
>>284134892
>>dying before the new mass effect game
Good news for OP.
>>284134771
I've been meaning to finish that! Thanks for reminding me, buddy. And does it really matter? We all die, I'll just hopefully be pain free when I do.
>>284134798
I played the stalkers to death, I might have to give CoP/ShoC one more run tho. I think I'll do ratchet and clank for sure also.
>>284134892
Oh fuck me, They are making another one?
Alright, thanks guys. I have some suggestions now. Take it easy, I'll you guys on the other side.
>>284135405
>>284136221
If you're still here and want to talk let me know. If this is genuine I can't imagine you're taking it as well as you're presenting yourself.
Planescape: Torment
Actually. No games are needed to play before you die. You should read some good shit instead.
>>284136612
Oh fuck no. I'm scared as shit, just like anyone else would be. I've thought at lashing out at people, but why? I don't want to be a bigger piece of shit then what I am already. But this is a video game board, not a hospice board.
Have you played morrowind? I'm trying to gauge how long it would take to completely finish it.
Narcissu
>>284136953
Sadly, I've tried reading. I've lost some function with my thinking and I don't think I could do a full novel/book before I go. If you do have some short stories, I would love to hear about them!
And thanks for the suggestion, I'm looking into it. It's one of the "essential /v/" games, right?
.
>>284137153
Haha, good one. I can take a joke.
>>284136958
You're right, it's not a hospice board.
[email protected]
Email me, I'd be glad to talk. I'm serious. It's no problem.
I personally haven't played Morrowind, so I can't speak to the length of that.
>>284133896
I am sorry anon. Lung cancer sucks.
Postal
>>284136958
Morrowind takes as long or as short as you like it to be.
Uh, Mother 3?
The Ace Attorney series is a personal favorite of mine. Emulating both should be easy enough. Though the AA trilogy can be a little long.
>>284133896
https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=WDEBz25lGdY
Play worlds.com
>>284133896
Assuming you have access to a controller, play Suikoden II on a PSX emulator.
http://www.suikosource.com/games/sod.php?pf=S2
;_;
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
>>284137602
That is a great idea!
>>284137625
Okay good, that's actually pretty good.
>>284137691
AA reminded of AA2, haha. But I haven't tried mother 3 yet. I should be able to do that.
>>284137729
I'm confused, are you saying I'm a sinner for spending my last moments doing something that I enjoy? Or that I need to be saved?
>>284137854
No controller, but I'm sure I can have someone bring me one. Thanks buddy.
Play Terranigma OP.
>>284137269
Here is a short story that might appeal to you.
"All that you love will be carried away"
https://enotez.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dark-tales.pdf
pages 71-87, King when he is at his best
I love you OP.
Play Bastion or Cave Story if you have not.
>>284134798
Get the R&C HD trilogy on PS3. Then play the Future games, especially Crack in Time
Grim Fandango
Metal gear solid series, each game is about 12 hours.
>you wont play tpp
>>284138145
Just play AA2 and nothing else.
>>284138145
>I'm confused, are you saying I'm a sinner for spending my last moments doing something that I enjoy? Or that I need to be saved?
more the latter, but you don't need to be saved. you only need to be saved if you don't want to spend eternity in the lake of fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7jJb8QueJo
>>284138285
I felt a feel to this
Earthbound
>>284137269
The best reading stuff that deals with death is existentialism, including its offshoots like absurdism etc.
A classic would be "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl. Very popular, very deep, and not very hard to read.
>>284138361
Get outta here lawfag
>>284138145
Not that the original Suikoden isn't great on its own, they're both excellent. But if you can only play one, it's gotta be S2.
Battle Network 3 is what your looking for, OP. Good feels.
>>284138548
And Mother 3 after Earthbound.
>>284138285
If I die before it's released my final words will be "Kept you waiting huh?" as I'm looking at a picture of Kojima
Artificial Academy 2.
>>284138285
God damn it. I was trying to forget that was even being made. Now I'm even more down trodden.
>>284138232
I've played both and loved both! But thanks for reminding me about cave story for sure.
>>284138224
That is perfect!
>>284138361
Damn, I can barely hear him.
>>284138596
Wait, is this the book about the guy the death camps?
>>284138662
Okay, so Suikoden 2 for sure then?
>>284138662
Only if running was possible in Suikoden without using up a slot.
>>284138879
yep. i linked you the recruitment guide just in case you wanted to go for all 108 Stars of Destiny, since it lets you save someone's life at the end ;)
Classic anti-christian short story on death by Marquis de Sade himself, if this thread's christian pissed you off enough:
http://www.sade-ecrivain.com/Dialogue-Between-a-Priest-and-a-Dying-Man.html
>>284133896

>>284139109
*tips fedora*
Gone Home.
>>284133896
OP, we'll all go where you're heading sooner or later, just know that each and everyone one of us on this planet, is going to follow you. You're not going to be alone for long, just the journey. I hope you find peace where you're going, I really do.
>>284133896
I'd say Dragon's Dogma, considering the situation you're facing and the nature/content of the story, but it's console exclusive...
So, uh...Rome Total War. Essential RTS.
>>284139295
Just because he's dying, that doesn't make him not a faggot, you know.
>>284138879
Yeah it's the death camp one. Although his thoughts are very poignant regarding death because they deal with the problem of finding meaning in hopelessness.
>>284133896
Stop playing games and go fuck some pussy so you can propogate before you expire.
Yume Nikki.
There's a reason it's plastered all over 4chan's banners. It's a genuinely unique experience created from the heart. It's also not very demanding. It's very trance-like and serene, even in the creepier bits of the game. It's also an RPGMaker game, so your laptop should handle it with zero trouble.
Look up the Bike Effect if you want to maximize your time.
Play To the moon OP
>>284139457
but it does anon, even if he's homosex, he's not a faggot. Death wipes us clean my friend.
>>284133896
VTMB, HL2, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Battlezone, KOTOR, some good RTS games like the older C&C games, SC, AoE, etc.
>>284139754
I don't know if I should laugh or rage.
>>284139604
No way. I don't want to chance of bringing a child into the world fatherless. Besides, why have sex when I have all the opiates I want?
>>284139295
Thanks man, it really means a lot to hear kind words on /v/.
>>284139715
I actually have played that, but I don't remember much of it.
>>284139754
If you're serious, I have given that one a thought. I've been meaning to play it.
>>284140051
>fatherless
don't worry m8 she'll find a father for it.
>mfw you get cucked while ded
Play Metal Gear Revengence, no you don't need to play the ones in the series previously.
Also having meet people that have been in near death and people who have been in medical emergencies (including myself), death isn't really all that bad. Its scary to think about but I'm surprised how many people who have NDEs want to stay where they where, be it mind altering chemicals or just a sense of calm it feels pretty good. I don't know what shape you are in, but maybe try getting some LSD or mushrooms and tripping out.
I'm fucking sorry OP, just remember that all things are transient and death would have happened eventually, you're just getting a free pass off the ride.
If you can and haven't already played it, get a Gamecube emulator and play Chibi-Robo, it's by far the comfiest game I've ever played in my life.
>>284138879
>Damn, I can barely hear him.
we all make our decision. the worst part about damnation is that it's forever.
ask god for wisdom concerning salvation
>If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Play some KOBS, watch out for those noob campers though.
>>284140167
This man is facing his death and you speak this way to him? Have some dignity
>>284133896
Terranigma
How many anons here can look into their future past 40, or god forbid, 50? I joke that when I'm 50 I'll just do a sick dive off a cliff in a really fast car
>>284133896
Suikoden 2 if you havent played it
And get a walkthrough for it. You're gonna meed it
>>284140375
you want anons to indulge in graveyard humor instead? because 4chan can get pretty nasty with that
I didn't come here to feel a feel OP.
Anyway. Play some Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.
>>284140167
>mfw you get cucked while ded
Oh man, wouldn't that be the final kick in the balls. Made me laugh.
>>284140341
Vidya is merciful.
>>284140261
That's actually the only metal gear I haven't played. And I've done mushrooms, not lsd though. Did them like 2 years ago on my 20th birthday. That was a blast.
>>284140456
Thanks, I've gotten a few mentions of that so far.
>>284140417
I seriously don't see myself being alive post 40, I actually don't even think I'll make it to 30, I've just got this overbearing fear that I'm going to die very soon, which is making me think that I'm actually just dying right now, it's kinda fucking my shit up.
>>284137390
you are truly brave to put your email on 4chan
>>284139715
Not OP
What is the Bike Effect?
>This whole thread
>>284140647
Save the panicking for 30, enjoy every one of your 20s years as much as possible. That's what I'm doing. 24 this year, trying to enjoy myself as much as i can
>>284140575
OP you should definitely do as many psychedelic drugs as you can before you go. or better yet, die tripping, even though your pineal gland gives you a dose of DMT when you die apparently, might as well double up, ensure your transition to the nether realms lol
>>284139785
What if he got aids from taking a billion dicks in the ass?
Don't tell me that doesn't make him a faggot.
Damn it OP I didn't want to feel this way and I feel even worse for not having a game for you.
>>284133896
Are you looking to avoid games that deal with depressing/emotional topics? If you don't care, I'd recommend all games in the Max Payne series.
Play space station 13
or dwarf fortress
>>284133896
I'd say chrono trigger or final fantasy VI. Most of my favorite games are longer RPG's, so eh I feel bad if you chose to play these since time is important right now. If you think you have time then by all means, they are gems and I will definitely be revisiting them before I die.
>>284140647
I switch between worry and hedonism periodically. On one hand it's paranoid to think you you've reached some arbitrary used by date because Life don't work like that, but at the same time I see too many "Dying pls give game" threads for at least a percentage of them being genuine. That scares me.
Or maybe American Healthcare just sucks.
>>284140575
Remember OP, at least you were never Anthony Burch.
Wanna play some cool ass, fun as fuck games? yeah, nothing better than some playstation platforming, crash bandicoot, rayman, tomba, jak and daxter, etc.
>>284133896
shit op, what kind of games do you like in the first place?
>>284140647

>>284140647
this is a vidya board you dumb cunt,go take your existential crisis to /adv/ or some other board that wants to hear it
I'm interested in what you seek from the games OP. Do you want a good, emotionally engaging story? Do you want 'fun' gameplay? Do you want some high-brow shit like Planescape? What are you looking for.
If you really are passing, Godspeed anon.
My favorite game of all time is Medabots: Rokushi version for the GBA. The RPG. You use have Medabots and interchangeable parts and fight via turn based.
>>284133896
OP, I don't know who you are or where you come from. But what I do know is that you're probably lived your life to the fullest and everyone you love will miss you dearly.
Play some Kirby Super Star on the emulator of your choosing. It's the most complete kirby experience if you ever wanted to play the series at all. Also, I swear it has therapeutic qualities.
We'll all be there sometime, anon. I hope you find peace.
And hey, maybe you'll come back as a something cool like a hawk or some shit.
>>284141389
>making a sadfrog story in someone's thread that is in a hospice
Why are you so entitled?
>>284133896
Bioshock 1-2 and Vampire: The Masquerade- Bloodlines
Godspeed, Anon.
OP I don't want to be faggy, but know this.
I'm going to miss you, and I love you, even though I don't know you and we've never met.
My religious convictions don't run particularly deep, but I do think there's something else far above us in scope and scale, and that's where you're headed.
You're always going to be our bro at the end, and it's been fun sharing this crazy thing we call vidya with you.
Whatever you end up playing, and wherever you end up going, I wish you the best.
OP, play Dark Messiah Of Might & Magic, it's great fun and not particularly long
OP is literally kill ;_;
>dying
>shitposts on 4chan
At least you never was Anthony Burch. Remember that.
Dragon's Dogma
I know you're looking for a video game but I recently watched a pretty good movie, its short and I think you would like it. Pic related.
>>284141658
Are you black?
>>284133896
I don't know why OP, but I saw this post and I literally shed a tear. I will miss you. And for a game to play. I offer my favorite game, Fallout New Vegas. Also I want you too see this before you pass on.
>>284138879
Can we cremate you and rub your ashes on our face in remembrance?
Do you have lung cancer? How old are you?
>>284133896
Devil May Cry 3 is really fun, I'd definitely recommend playing it at least once. FEAR is also a good game if you're not gonna be bothered by the ghost things.
Hope you have fun with some vidya.
>>284134026
terrible advice
I work in a pharmacy and see people in hospice from time to time. It really gets me thinking, I can only imagine what they must be going through.
Thank you everyone. I've wrote down all the game names and I'll check them out. Hell, I might even watch some chinese cartoons!
>>284141102
Who was that again?
>>284140913
Sorry, but I'm a virgin and I'll die one.
>>284141143
>>284141476
I love longer games with a nice story, but I want to get more of a "fun" kind of catagory that I can just jump into and out of.
>>284141550
I was actually looking at that a few moments ago!
>>284141538
Thanks man, those words mean a lot to me.
>>284141873

>>284142059
Not as good as COD4, but it's probably one of the best since.
I refuse to believe op is really dying. Fuck you, OP. It's not funny pretending to be dying. I don't believe you. I just don't.
happy thoughts.
>>284133896
Transistor and Bastion are excellent and everyone should play them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJmtn6JP7Ug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX48y24t9iU
this and the original are worth a play.
and since it ties together, tactics ogre too.
i would like to say koudelka as well.
>>284133896
I wasn't going to post but... I recognize you brother. My recommendation is donkey kong country 2.
well now I'm depressed. Hotline Miami I guess, it's really short and fun.
>>284142059
New COD is surprisingly fun, the exoskeleton boosting makes the game more interesting.
>>284142059
do you have multiplayer there? Chivalry would fill that in-n-out fun void. Or you'll just ff your death by raging every time.
Also the walking dead season 1 is good. Kind of fitting.
>>284142059
Check out the ogre battle series if you like the strategic rpg (like fire emblem).
Contra games too. Every single one of them is fucking amazing.
Old castlevania's... metroids...
You can get emulators for all of them.
>>284142306
this was in the top 100 games to playbefore you die.
>>284142306
I fucking love that game.
Easy as shit though past mid game
>>284142306
Too bad the emulator is still not up to par.
>>284142059
Anthony Burch is the biggest cuck known to mankind.

Why live?
>>284142039
I work in pharmacy too. It's sad when people die. All those prescription sales lost.
these threads are so fucking stupid
and fuck all of you faggots for falling for it
On the Nintendo side, Ocarina and Majoras Mask if you haven't played them as well as Mario 3D World. Play it with your friends who visit you at the Hospice.
Bastion and Transistor also must-play, Mother 3 and Knights of the Old Republic 2 (with restored content mod) are two classics of great writing.Praying for you, hope God touches your life intended in most well-meaning sense possible
>>284142574
it's passable.
backgrounds get fucked a lot though.
>>284142298
How is transistor?
>>284142224
Okay, cool. I might jump into the single player while I'm still home.
>>284142432
Is walking dead the one that's kind of like a VN?
>>284142306
Holy shit, I remember that. Fun times. Can't say I've heard of Koudelka. I'll check it out.
>>284142602
No way, this has to be fake. No one could be like this.
>>284142432
I don't think I will. I guess I'm pretty lucky to bring outside hardware to this place.

>>284133896
Well OP, It was a fun ride while it lasted.
you've made some good memories during your time here with all of us,and soon, know that even though we might be cynical, rude and downright nasty at times, we feel for our fellow gamers and will miss having you in our ranks, but I guess your turn to drop the controller soon is inevitable.
This thread will be archived, so make it a good one, because everynow and then, we have threads to remember the anons that have left us.
I recommend Castlevania simphony of the night, one of my favorite games of all time
also
Final Fantasy Tactics
Chrono Trigger
>>284142815
>How is transistor?
It's goddamn excellent. nobody should die before playing this game.
It was my GOTY for 2014, dat OST.
>>284142792
Mine reaches just 50 fps, so the music skips a bit, which is annoying.
>>284133896
anachronox. Its a good long 'old school' scifi rpg adventure
>>284142815
The Walking Dead feels more like a point and click in my opinion, but it definitely has a VN feel to it.
>>284142815
Yeah, TWD is VN-ish. The first season has a handful of more traditional adventure gameplay segments, but it's geared more overall towards presenting a narrative. It does a very good job at that, too. I'd recommend checking out the first season. Skip the second; they lost the two writers who made the first one so great."I'll miss you."
>>284142815
The Walking Dead is fantastic, it's not exactly a VN, It's a bit more of a point and click and has some game mechanics in it. The second season is a bit weaker but is still really good.
If you enjoy that then you will enjoy The Wolf Among Us too.
>>284142059
well I played max payne 3 recently and it was pretty fun
other than that Gunpoint was pretty good, really short indie game but with player made maps and all that. Hotline Miami was pretty challenging but easy to get into, if you like star wars Battlefront 2 is still one of my favorite games but then again if you like star wars you probably already played it.
Advanced Warfare is pretty great to be honest, I think there's a free weekend going on right now on steam so you should check it out
>>284141829
We /nuclear/ now?
Journey, shadow of the colossus, and ico are all must fucking plays.
Nier too, if youre a weaboo.

>>284143421
I hope you find peace, OP. This is just too sad.
>>284142928
Why would people do that? Lie on the Internet?
I've never even played it, but I watched my brothers play The Neverhood over their shoulders when I was little. It always gave me comfy memories thinking back.
Save a spot on the couch up there for me. I may be a while, but I'll get there eventually. And I'll bring a controller.
>>284143806
It happens rarely enough in this circumstance
If you're into city builders, I'd highly recommend Banished. It's practically the epitome of "comfy." Watching your humble little settlement grow into a bustling town as your people grow up and live their lives is lovely. It's not the most expansive game, but it does what it set out to do quite well.
>>284133896
Katamari Damacy
Fear
Condemned
Morrowind
Fallout 1
Fallout nv
Metal gear solid GZ
Half life 1
Stalker series
Sleeping dogs
The lengths of these games are a mixed bag, some of them have collectables and ranks and other stuff to do but condemned and fear are quite short.
They're all good fun.
>>284143187
Seconding these.
Journey is especially amazing.
Awesome, thank you everyone. I hope you guys have a good, long life. Even you, >>284142773 . >>284143252bang.
Damn, OP. This thread is making me genuinely said. Hope your passing is peaceful, bro.
As for games, I suggest you play Shadow Of The Colossus, or any Metroid game, though they both might take a while.
Mini Metro is a fun little time sink
The Yawhg is interesting as well
Papers, Please is a must
Always, Sometimes Monsters will make you think about shit too
Goodbye, OP. You better have fun.

For novellas (really short novels) heres some must reads. You can finish these in one or two readings.
The old man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway. Very relevant to you.
Anthem by Ayn rand
Notes from the underground by fydor dostoyevsky
Banana fish (may not be the title, but its close enough for google)
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse (very very very good)
The first and last i listed are all you need. They will give you great closure.
>>284144539
me too, man... this girl i was close to at the time was going through fucking hell and i wanted to do was help her out of it. Needless to say thirteen made me cry like a bitch
I'll miss you, brother.
The Drakengard series, if not Nier, are must plays. They get batshit crazy/sad. Good if you're a weeb.
The Wonderful 101 makes for some trulywonderfulexperiences, even if you just play it on easy mode.
Kirby's Epic Yarn is so comfy it's unbelievable.
FTL is a challenging game you might enjoy.
The Professor Layton games are good.
Kirby's Air Ride is excellent if you can run Dolphin.
Illusion of Gaia is an excellent game, it is a spiritual sequel (sort of) to Soulblazer and ActRaiser, both of which are also excellent action RPGs on the SNES.
I only wish that you have more time with us to play vidya and that your passing is easy. May you have plenty of games in your backlog to keep you busy.
Legacy of Kain series, Blood Omen 2 optional.
>>284144030
you're a cool guy op
see you aroundspace cowboy
Heroes of might and magic 3
After all these years saying to random Anons that they should kill themselves it finally worked.
Feels good man.
>>284144726that was my exact situation and why I cried, she left me shortly after
Maybe try smoking less next time?
Planescape Torment if you haven't.
Dark messiah of might and magic is an excellent game if you want exciting first person melee combat
Desktop dungeons for an ez pick up and play single player puzzle/rpg game
bloodbowl for !sports

VIII.2 (in the basilica); 1864: Samius to Cornelius: go hang yourself!
>>284145162
she's gone in my life too, dude.I want to text rn, bruh, but i know its a bad idea
If you had more time I would suggest Chrono Trigger. It's my favorite game of all time.
>>284145184
>next time
Thats not how it works you stupid cunt.
>>284144703
Idk how i forgot, but i did.
Animal farm by George Orwell
Of mice and men by John Steinbeck
Look homeward angel by thomas wolfe (not tom wolf the pretentious new age faggot who is terrible). Its 400 pages but quite possibly the best book ever written.
Yes, even better than war and peace, and the brothers Karamazov. Grapes of wrath is imo the best book ever written, but look homeward angel gives it a run for its money.
One flew over the cuckoos nest by ken kesey
Great expectations by charles dickens (quite possibly the greatest author to ever live)
And many others. I can give more recommendations if you tell me what you like. No sci-fi though, thats not real literature
>>284145409
>being non-religious/a jesuit

Don't waste your time on Great Expectations. If you want good Dickens read A Tale of Two Cities. Intrigue and excitement through the whole plot. And the iconic ending might be suitable for your situation
not really vidya related but listen to this op

Jesus Christ literally every book you listed is on some shitty high school reading list.
Anyway OP, read this really short story, you can seriously read it in 10 minutes or less. I know nothing right now could possibly help, but it might add some comfort.
http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
Please take the time, it's worth it.
I didn't need this. i'm sorry we can't trade places.
You should play the Phoenix Wright games.

I've only Read oliver twist and it was a waste.
Op, if you want some recommendations from an English major fagot whose life is going nowhere:
Stranger in a Strange Land
Childhood's End
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
The Amok Journal (if you can get a copy)
Catch 22
Slaughterhouse 5.
And if I were you, I'd write. Write down what you're thinking, feeling, wanting. Don't spare any details. You're approaching a horizon which all men one day cross; perhaps, from the edge, you can provide the rest of us a map. Or at least one last burning word to be emblazoned on the darkness forevermore.
>>284147586
Not OP, but I liked that anon. Thanks
>>284140263
this. we'll all be joining you soon enough.
Re-read the Harry Potter books. Remember the good times when you wanted to put your penis into Hermione.
Also Indigo Prophecy for the PS2 or PC.
OP can I add you on skype or steam or have your email or something please? I really want to talk to you. I just want to know. I want to hear your story. I want to hear it all. For some reason I really just want to know about you.
>>284146846
neither will a lot of us.
>that feel when someone young dies
This is really shit and I feel sad even though I don't know you.
I hope you get time to play through KotOR I and II.

>>284136958
You're not a piece of shit man. I've been sitting here for 20 minutes trying to find the right words to say to make you feel better but I can't imagine anything I could say would do that. I've never met you and I don't know where it is we end up going after we pass on, but I hope its a better place.
I'll see you when I get there brother.

>>284133896
I didn't need these feelings tonight, Godspeed OP.
I am trying to thing a book that deals with death, but I can't think of anything appropriate, I feel like shit now, not being able to recommend you something that could give you some hope.Is this despair I am feeling?
>>284135405
that anon was right about r&c. the ps2 r&c games represent the last time insomniac was a golden dev. theyve made a few good games since, but they were gods during the ps1/ps2 era.
going commando is probably your best bet. the first one is also great but lacks strafe controls until late game which is annoying in a tps
Go die somewhere else
>>284140713
ya, he'll probably get spammed for a day or two. pretty bro move tho imo. although id like to think this board has better shit to do than spam him with shit
>>284136958
I cant even OP. I cant compute my sadness over someone I don't even know, on 4chan of all places, who is gonna die soon. I wish I could be there to play vidya with you. You're making me feel too hard, and I hate it. my vision is blurring from tears. legit first time i've cried in years. I hope you're happy. \o/
>>284141123
spyro and r&c as well. ps platformers were the shit.
also rayman 2 because why not. rayman 1 is hard as balls tho.
tales of symphonia
The metroid prime trilogy
Super metroid
Megaman 1-8 (you can beat each of them in less than two hours)
Megaman X 1-5 and 8 (7 is hot garbage, 6 is optional)
Megaman battle network 3
Megaman legends 1+2
All the mainline Mario games
Banjo kazooie and banjo tooie
Rayman Origins and Rayman legends (both are seriously so good).
I could keep going on and on but these are my must plays off the top of my head.
>>284149557
>Best American Novel
I've read a lot of "Best American Novels" friendo. And there are many that I haven't read. Besides, it's just another coming of age story about some kid in the boondocks of america. There's a million of those. If you're gonna read a story about that sort of shit, why not read something real? "You Can't Win" is pretty good.
>Garbage
Stranger was a reevaluation of the social mores of the time and a deconstruction of morality, religion and the fear of death. It was a pretty fucking revolutionary work of fiction and is considered to be one of the major influences of the 70's and the hippy movement. It's a pretty fucking important book you uncultured swine.
Moon was pretty damn influential as well, though for other reasons.
And if you're gonna insult Mother Fucking Vonnegut I'm gonna have to tell you to fuck right off. Even in the high brow Ivory tower that guy is considered great.
Plus all these books have elements of death, dealing with loss and accepting the reality of life, so they're pretty fucking relevant.
Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go back to being unemployed.
>>284147586
That' was pretty good.
OP is probably just lying to get some attentionI hope ;_;
>>284150684

You are a fucking stupid nerd.
Go read moby dick, a tale of 2 cities, of ape and essence, infinite jest, and othello.
You arent an english major. You are a 15 year old who read garbage nerd books your dad told you to read

>>284151918
YOU KNOW IT, BRUVAA
>>284151319
Not saying it does or does not but it is literally impossible to say for sure that it doesn't. I don't believe in God or reincarnation for that matter, but to speak in such absolute as to say that you know something does not exist is to say that you can prove its nonexistence. As I'm certain you can not, you may say that with our best known evidence, reincarnation is highly unlikely and you don't believe in it. Regardless, its a nice story that may give someone else a bit of comfort so don't be a faggit
>>284151649
>Look Homeward, Angel is an elaborate and moving coming-of-age story about Eugene Gant, a restless and energetic character whose passion to experience life takes him from his small, rural hometown in North Carolina to Harvard University and the city of Boston. The novel's pattern is artfully simple -- a small town, a large family, high school and college -- yet the characters are monumental in their graphic individuality and personality.
Straight from the back of the book, friendo. I told you I haven't read it.
Vonnegut used scifi to do social commentary. Or did that go over your head?
>Moby Dick
Ok
>Tale of two cities
Fine
>Othello
We gonna get off the high school reading list any time soon?
>Ape and Essence
Thats sci-fi too you idiot.
