Anya

If you don't mind, I'm going to get lazy with my descriptions. I am not a good writer and I'm finding it difficult to come up with a paragraph for some games. Sometimes I've said all that needs to be said in a couple sentences. I've also got work this week and a bunch of doctor's appointments.

Buffy Chaos Bleeds sucks! Anya's voice actress is horrible. Sounds nothing like Emma.

No Zelda for me. Hardly anything from Nintendo. Probably just Super Metroid and DKC.

Sunday night is good for me. Wednesday and thursday too.

I don't get why updates or later versions wouldn't count. The goal is to decide the best game ever, sometimes games get updated and improve greatly. Why not include them? And what about upgrades like SF II Champion Edition or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3? It's not a totally new game, but it does have a new title and different home versions. Street Fighter III 3rd Strike is often considered one of the best 2D fighters ever made. It'd be pretty lame to not be able to include it. And what about remakes? Resident Evil for GC has the same title as the PSX version but is vastly different. What about Twin Snakes? It has a new title but is more of a port of MGS. There's just so many questions and problems with that rule. A lot of worthy games could be overlooked. The difference with compilations is that they're many games in one package. It makes sense to not include them.

If a game is multiplatform we should just choose one version to represent. Why go with the one that came out first, why not the one that's best? If features were added they should count. I've got like 23 down. I'm trying to decide which post-SF II capcom fighter to go with. I was going to just say SF Anniversary Collection and call it a day with SF but compilations are out. All the old games like Alpha 2 are outdated now and the new Versus games are not worthy of being best game ever. I still feel like one should be represented.

This will be fun. Andrew is going to hate my list. I think arcade games should be allowed. What about compilations?

You should be in, T5 needs another vote.

I know I'd push for some fighting games, Andrew probably would too.

FF VII is the best game ever. It should have won like, 50 oscars. The only recent game I'd put in a top 30 list is Tekken 5. Best fighter ever. We should do a top 30.

I find it really hard to do these lists. It's tough to decide what goes in what order especially once you get far into it. Like how do you decide the difference between the 33rd best game ever or the 36th? And after a while it gets boring and you just start adding stuff to fill the list. I have my top 8 games pretty much set in stone, but after that it would change depending on the day.

Nooo. Squall and rinoa are forever.

Well they seemed to manage in Touched.

and then have sex with Xander.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his heart. Doesn't change anything. She'd still out fight him. I'm sure she knows about empath demons. Lame or not, Ubies are supposed to be really strong. Lorne's never beat anything like that.

His voice wouldn't do anything to Anya, she would just stab him and then be sarcastic about it.

Lunar 3 will come out shortly after Duke Nukem Forever.

I'm glad I was never into this stuff.

This game sounds so lame. I'd rather play with my cat.

Only because they were outnumbered and she had an incompetent partner. Lorne would have got killed by the first Bringer. How come her body there doesn't match what actually happened? Why is she bleeding from the mouth and where's the big wound?

She took down a Bringer and two ubies before that, which is more than Lorne has ever been able to do.

Anya owns a gun too....

Giles can be pretty badass. And in season 7 Anya can contribute in fights. She can sword fight pretty well it seems. She'd kill Lorne.

Looks great. Lots of Jayne, which is important.

Glory and Adam may not have cared about them in the lead up, but you can be sure they tried their best during the actual battle. If anyone loses points for being allowed to live it should be Angel. W&H spared him all the time.
