General Castlevania Discussion / Re: Worried about the site/these forums.

Just let me know if there are any issues and I'll send an e-mail to the webmaster.
Usually things get fixed within a day or two.

Sounds good! Just an example....I was looking at Curse of Darkness's page and some of the art/posters open to bad gateway 502. Just fyi. Thanks!

General Castlevania Discussion / Re: That time Climax Studios pitched their own Castlevania back in 2006

Wow, I would have never thought there would be a time where I'd be grateful Lords of Shadows exists. I'm really curious what would run into someones mind trying to pitch a Castlevania game with such premises, it's really beyond insanity

Started Metroid Prime 4. Seems fairly enjoyable so far. Wish I didn’t keep falling asleep every damn night before getting to play it..

For some reason, it seems this project will be less likely to continue from now on. Perhaps some bad funding/financial problems bars the team from further motivation.
I feel very sad hearing this news. If it gets some custom sound effects/voice acting it can have potentials to directly compete with Inti Creates games.

Off Topic / OH NO, WHERE'S MY MEAT?

Can you see my meat (in me siggy)?

It seems Homestead may no longer allow image embedding or hotlinking. What's a guy to do? :'(

Which probably means this classic GIF won't show up:

Likewise the only Forum of Olde that I still visit. Hopefully it continues to stick around indefinitely, because I like popping in even if activity is sparse. I wish some of ya other old fuckers would come back and we all make merry dick jokes and talk cool stuff.

Life's weird and challenging and I don't have a lot of free time like I once did, but if anything growing up has made me even more interested in the things I used to enjoy, especially now that I have kids. So don't let that spark die; keep the fire stoked and the hobby-dick stroked, y'all.

Congrats on nearly reaching the finish line, I remember playing the Steam demo a few years back.

This forum is nostalgic for me, yeah. It's the only forum from the old days I still visit every once in a while, even if I rarely ever post. Lack of Castlevania games is a major contributing factor, I'm sure.

I hear you on limited continues. That's the worst thing about a lot of retro games.

(Speaking of Bloodlines, I just played that last night, lol. I'm surprised I remembered the boss patterns as well as I did)

I don't really like Vampire Killer MSX.  I know years ago Morgoth Galaxius raved about how good it is, and I don't doubt him.  But I just find it boring, and the constant searching for items unengaging.

I've never beaten Dracula X SNES.  I've played up to Dracula but never beat him.  I know people say it's not as bad as it looks, but I've never given it many tries.

I feel strongly that Bloodlines suffers from having limited continues.  It's harder to learn the game with limited continues, so I've never tried.  I did beat it once, and never went back.
