Thanks for the lovely welcome back!! Went AWOL for a bit I guess -- been lurking but not really posting for quite a while. Was also trying to keep out from under Mugz' feet while we both licked our wounds from the breakup, but since that was nearly a year ago now I think we can share BL without any angst
Monkey Island is AWESOME! I loved a whole bunch of LucasArts point-and-click adventures: Full Throttle, Day of the tentacle. I'm sure there were more. They've never quite as good as you remember though!! Regarding PS1 emulation, that's fucking great now. Not tried PS2 emulation for a few years and it was a bit dodgy back then but should have come on now. Gonna give it a bash because a lot of my favourite games are for PS2 and mine died after being left in a room with overly hairy stoners for a few years
I've long since abandoned all hope of playing recent games on my PC. That goes for any PC I've ever owned. I throw together a new computer every few years, but it's never from state of the art components. Usually they just can't handle any recent games. I'd buy better hardware, but everything moves on so fast that it'd be obsolete again within 6 months. PS3 is where it's at for my recent-game needs. Though I haven't been impressed by anything for a while. Got Final Fantasy XIII-2 a bit ago and have to declare it to be wank!
