What Are Your Top Five 'Comfort' Games?
Via GameSetWatch, an article at The New Gamer talking about comfort games. These reliable, fun titles are the old favorites you consistently look to for amusement and solace after a bad gaming session, a bad day, a bad week. From the article, with the author's comfort games: "Mega Man 2 - This Capcom classic has been with me since I was a kid, and I know it like the back of my hand. I'm sure that, if blindfolded, I'd somehow intuitively be able to maneuver through the levels, but I'd much rather be able to view it in all of its 8-bit goodness and remind myself of the good times." My current top five would have to be Super Mario World, Half-Life 2, World of Warcraft, God of War, and Civilization IV. What are yours?
Ok, the tag system isn't working... Every story on the front page is tagged as "yes, no, maybe, fud, notfud." How is that supposed to be useful? And more importantly, how was the tag system ever intended to be useful in the first place? There's no way to browse stories with a particular tag (is there?)... Isn't that how tags generally work? People tag a story as "science" and then some time later, I can look for all stories with the "science" tag and read about science. Either that functionality isn't here, or it's really hard to find. But either way, the tags aren't being used well anyway, so it wouldn't matter. Searching for stories tagged as "yes" isn't going to be very productive...
