Metroid Prime was a stupidly good time. I remember playing it as a kid (well, I'm still a kid, but a younger kid I guess) and specifically recall one really scary/awesome moment:

I was walking in the dark corridors of some creepy lab, glancing worriedly at the metroids in glass cases to my left and right when a space pirate jumped out and attacked me! I back up and aimed my Power Beam, preparing to engage, but suddenly there was a crash; a metroid had broken out of its case! I turned, not sure which foe to target, when the metroid leapt not at me, but upon my space pirate adversary. I watched in horror as the creature drained the energy out of the pirate, then, floating up from the lifeless body, paused a moment in the air and grew larger.

I ran. I ran as quickly as I could go, scared to death of that metroid. I blasted the hatch from a distance, passed through, and after the door closed behind me, there was an audible thump as the metroid giving chase slammed into it.

I was like twelve years old and scared out of my wits. Best thing ever.

Ah, so I'd need to create a clan and make a dojo and trading post?

Guess that'll take a while...

The trailer shocked the hell out of me when I watched it. I looked at it thinking it had a pretty cutesy pixelated style, and then suddenly a guy exploded and I just sat there with my mouth agape for a bit.

In other words, I am definitely interested!

Opinions on Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages, anyone? It's pretty darn cheap, and I like spaceships... but how's the multiplayer?

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Already looks like it's going to be a heck of a lot more polished, and being from the person who brought us Cataclysm to begin with, it definitely has tons of promise. Will be watching.

Right? I don't know why game developers haven't jumped at the chance to make games based on this concept.

Anyone around here played the Deponia trilogy? It's on sale, and a lot of the Steam recommendations are saying it's pretty good, but I'd like to get a second opinion from one of you guys, since the opinions of Bay12ers have never really led me astray. 

Is there a downloadable version anywhere? I really liked the first couple of Gemcraft games, but I seriously dislike having to get on flash game sites to play them....
