I'm in love with Massive Attack's fairly new track, "The Spoils." My favourite since Paradise Circus. Nice to hear they still have the ability to mix modern beats with soaring strings and a female singer to create something spine-tingling.

The lyrics are a bit repetitive though.

The Gungrave show is actually based on the games, too. That must be the first time that's happened, and not vice-versa. Overdose is a dumb, fun, blast of a game.

Thank you for the encouragement! When (if) I get some decent movement on the manga, I will definitely post about it here. That's a great idea.

Anime that I bought on a whim: Blood: The Last Vampire (the short film). There was a quote from James Cameron on the back of the box, and I thought, "hmm, worth a try." I liked it a lot and still do. The opening scenes of Saya on the train are beautifully done. It was a complete failure, critically -- unfair, in my opinion.

Anime that disturbed me as a child: Ninja Scroll. *shudder*

Anime I used to like but now wonder, "What did I see in this?": X

Wild card: The anime adaptation/interpretation of Metropolis. A surprisingly worthy addition to Fritz Lang's legendary masterwork. I've only seen it once, but there are some gorgeous scenes.

Lesser known movie: Tekkonkinkreet. Touching tale of two young kids trying to preserve their town with mind, body, and kickass moves. Lots of funny relationships between the quirky townsfolk. Whimsical and bonkers.

Favourite lesser-known Miyazaki movie: Porco Rosso. The US dub is one of the better ones, too -- Michael Keaton excels as the loveable pig pilot.

Fave lesser known Ghibli movie: Grave of the Fireflies. Crushingly beautiful. One of the realest, most human movies in anime's history.

Fave anime with huge robot thingies: Neon Genesis Evangelion. I really enjoyed the relationship between Shinji and Misato in that series. The agile, elasticated robots really pop and flow beautifully on the screen, too -- a nice change from a typical, bulky machine. The fights are more like ballet dances with some blood and grit. (The Frank Sinatra ending song is also a nice touch.)

Anime I need to refresh my memory on: Vampire Hunter D. Not sure if I saw the series or the movie. Blood something.

Anime I need to see: Berserk. How much it apparently inspired Dark Souls has intrigued me greatly. My girlfriend says it's amazing, also, so I should check it out soon.

Anime game that is a rough but hidden gem: Gungrave Overdose.

Most disappointing anime: Devil May Cry.

Favourite western 2D animation: The Iron Giant. Hilarious and sad film, with the most gorgeous lighting and '50s stylings.

Anime my friend loves that makes me cringe: Elfen Lied. Something about it just haunts my soul. I don't get it!

I'm actually writing a manga at the moment. I hope to send it to some illustrators when I'm done; get some early sketches accompanied with a chapter; and then send it off to some publishers. Hopefully in the next couple years I'll be at that stage. Writing is hard...

Oh, they're all gone? Thanks for letting me know! I'll update the page. You're all welcome. Enjoy.

Let me know if you redeemed them, so I can update the thread.

Lethal League: Redeemed

Another World - 20th Anniversary Edition: Redeemed

Surgeon Simulator - Anniversary Edition: Redeemed

Party Hard: Redeemed

FlatOut: Redeemed

It Came from Space and Ate Our Brains! : Redeemed

Enjoy!

(I got these from Bundle Stars. I bought the All Stars 7 bundle + Indie 4 bundle, and these are the ones I had already or don't want, so don't worry; I didn't steal them). I myself took Skullgirls, Deponia 2, Freedom Planet, Skulls of the Shogun, and Sir! You Are Being Hunted.

Edit: It's going, going, gone!

You people are fast! Nice work.

320 +42. (I looked up the solution to the third hedge maze. The reason I didn't get the answer kinda wasn't my fault, to be honest. I won't explain why, but I was pretty annoyed.)

I've been experiencing a super-weird audio bug (I think) in the game. For the last couple hours or so, whenever I entered a building (the ones behind loads), I could hear a baby crying. Never outside, only inside. I was looking around several different facilities trying to locate the source of the sound, thinking I was missing some cool hidden item or a rigged pram guarding some goodies or something. I became suspicious after I kept hearing it in every single building, though, especially when it persisted through an entire conversation during a side-quest, so I cancelled the application and restarted the game. GONE. No more crying. I thought I was losing my mind! I just . . . had to stop the crying *rocks back and forth*.

I'm good now...

Not all strictly horror, but here's some that haven't been mentioned that I enjoy:

Don't Look Now, The Omen, Martin, Kwaidan, Peeping Tom, Drag Me to Hell, Whistle and I'll Come to You (original), The Signalman (Dickens adaptation), Let's Scare Jessica to Death (clichéd, but something about Zohra Lampert kept me watching), A Tale of Two Sisters, The Innocents,, Caché (not horrifying, but I found it highly unnerving), The Wicker Man (original), Taste the Blood of Dracula (just the first five minutes. The sound is very well done for the time, and I had nightmares as a five-year-old.)

I'm just about to watch The Devil's Backbone for the first time.

I know it's a fighting game, but you should definitely get Tekken 3, even just to own it. Symphony of the Night is my favourite game of all time, so that's a no-brainer, too. Good choice.

Ones that haven't been mentioned:

Vagrant Story

Tomb Raider

GTA, GTA2, and GTA London expansion.

Abe's Oddysee

Mickey's Wild Adventure - A pretty difficult platformer, but I loved its authenticity.

Ridge Racer

Die Hard Trilogy *giggles*

Soul Blade (fighting)

Silhouette Mirage

Bust-a-Move 4

Colony Wars: Vengeance

THPS 2 + 3
