But Gollum’s Pro Fishing :D !

Ah, good old Cyrillic Mega-Biff! Shame the series went a bit pear-shaped in Cyrillic Mega-Biff V: The Belarusian Odyssey.

That shelf labled ‘Sims’…was that a shelf for simulation games or The Sims games. The cynic in me wants to say the latter.
report
If it were for The Sims I imagine the staff would have put it on the middle shelves. Still, it DOES look pretty large…
report
All the others are gametypes, so i presume it is simulation games – not the series.
report
Gollum’s Pro Fishing was a great game :D
report
I love this SL. The game posters make it.
report
Yay for the posters, but I must be too dim to get the actual joke. Are we talking about a game whose title sounds like ‘Bazooka’? ‘Rocket Launcher’? …’SMAAW’?
report
RPG, I recon.
report
Yeah, RPG.
Took me a while but I got there. :D
report
I’m sure I remember this one as being, “Thats not what I meant by RPG, but I’ll take it anyway.”

One of my favourite Strafe Lefts

@ THX

my fav strafe left

Which leads to the question: How many RPGs let you use an RPG?
report
From the top of my head, I can think of Fallout 1 and 2. There’s probably loads more mind.
report
Ha, RPG! I get it! Oh, simply *hilarious*.
God I hate puns.

All RPGs need to be able to let you use an RPG, even if only once. I don’t care if it breaks canon, damnit! Just get me the rocket-stick!
*you fire an RPG at the Large Troll*
*The Large Troll is hit for 900 points of damage! It explodes into a gooey paste.*
*You get 45XP, and 1,000 coolness points*
report
That’s a sweet looking RPG
report
There are no RPGs in Fallout.
report
Finally swung by again; I cannot believe I didn’t get that instantly. Thanks, folks.
