@Insane Steve: You are right with CRT TVs being the best choice for Rhythm games, luckily I was playing Guitar Hero way back in 2006 on a CRT TV and calibration lag was not a thing back then.
Yeah the main issue is games consoles have solely moved onto HDMI except for handhelds which have their own screen contained within itself so lag is non existant hence why Project DIVA games are best on handhelds. If you can calibrate it correctly on consoles using the calibration options then it's worthwhile to have on consoles.

I play games like Rock Band 4 on my Xbox One as well at the moment and that game has horrendous calibration lag, not to mention the fact that everytime a game title update occurs for me at least, it messes up the calibration settings
With that being said, I still highly recommend Rock Band 4, if you ever invested in the DLC for RB1-RB3 on the previous gen, the developers worked hard to make sure the DLC came over with you (free of charge) to the next gen in Rock Band 4 and I think that is a first for any game in any genre! It did take them a while to do it and there were a lot of teething issues but they did it when they didn't have to.
Of course it goes without saying that if you invested in Xbox 360, you have to buy the Xbox One version of Rock Band 4 and same with PS3/PS4 etc.

I've found that rhythm games, for me, sync a lot better on CRT televisions than flatscreens - if you can find one at a thrift shop maybe that will deal with any calibration issues rhythm games tend to have on newer TVs? Then again you would also need an HDMI to AV converter which might itself create lag?

Wait, does the PS4 need a converter for AV? That seems a bit odd, as HDMI isn't very good for gaming, usually.

Now that I have more free time, I've started playing Splatoon again. Such a fun game. I'm still only level 30 though...

And man, are ranked battles brutal.

Used to play that game way back when it was released last year, it was great when it was released but there are way too many weapons in the game now. It's good if you find something that works but I felt that as more weapon types with different power ups came out, it was harder and harder to counter them because there was more and more!

Right now I'm playing Plants vs Zombies 2

So I never got into Super Mario Bro. X.
Now I'm playing a randomized/nuzlocke challenge of Pokemon Fire Red, which has been quite fun. Randomized means all the pokemon from gens 1,2&3 are available and planning ahead is much harder. I started out with Eletrike, but he died near Mount Moon. I lost five pokemon so far actually, but I currently have;
Ricky Bobby the Azumaril
Camool the Numel (inside joke name)
Abraham Lincoln the Lombre
Vincent Price the Shuppet
"Red" the Dragonair (which I got from a in game trade so can't change the nickname)
I also recently got a Houndor, but it died only shortly after I caught it but I also just caught "Carlos Danger" the Slackoth which is pretty awesome, as since abilities are randomized, he doesn't have Truant.

This has been quite fun and I'm very sad that I couldn't stream any of this. If I can stream any time soon I plan to stream this or a run like this.

I do recall that FireRed and LeafGreen wouldn't allow Gen 2 and Gen 3 Pokemon to evolve until you get the National Dex (my best guess is maybe as an anti-cheat, but it can be observed without cheating by attempting to make a Golbat evolve into a Crobat). Does the randomizer fix that?

I'm guessing it does; because it fixes other things; there's an option to disable bad abilities like Truant and Wonderguard. It also can make trading--evolving pokemon evolve by level like Haunter evolves at level 40 or something like that. Feebas will evolve at level 35.

Speaking of Feebas, I just caught one! in the pool in Celadon, which I hadn't even thought of until I saw it, realizing there's an encounter there. This makes up for missing it in Viridian Forest and Houndoor and Nuzleaf dying. I also got a Magby from the game corner. To retain the rule I'll only allow myself to get that one prize from the game corner (I don't feel like playing the slot mahcine for anymore anyway)
and makes up for the other static poke in Celadon (what's normally evee in the mainsion) being another bellsprout

I'm pretty close to finishing up Pokemon Prism and cataloging its secrets and other goodies. Just a few more hidden items to flush out, the Battle Tower to explore, and the Pokedex to complete (which will require use of cheat codes because the game wasn't completed and I can't make trading work on my emulator but I want to see what that one NPC gives you if you actually do it).

Welcome to the forums!

As I'm currently unable to play NeoLemmix for the time being, I've been playing Hatsune Miku Future Tone on my PS4, it only came out a few weeks ago and it has a massive 224 songs if you buy both packs for it.
Hub game is free but you have to pay to add songs to it.
It contains a lot of the songs from the Project DIVA series and Project Mirai series.
The game itself is actually a port of an arcade cabinet found in Japan so needless to say it is highly challenging!

Also playing through Genesis Lemmings as well, scratches my Lemmings itch for me right now.

I heard of that but never looked into it. I will have to check that out.

I've been playing RHEM IV 'special edition' the creator updated the game added a whole new area and some new puzzles. He's also working on RHEM V which is going to some how feature you revisiting RHEMS 1,2 and 3, which is pretty cool I gotta say. Even though these games are sort of lo-budget, I don't believe this concept has been done before, to my knowledge, in this way at least.

Welcome to the forum nin10doadict

That RHEM game looks like a cool game, I need to try that one sometime. I've been playing the tomb raider games recently replaying some of the ones I've completed a long time ago. I managed to complete the angel of darkness tomb raider one that I never completed when I played it over a decade ago. If you havn't tried the tomb games I would reccommend them as they do have some very tricky puzzles in them.

Looking back at the Rhem game, I was looking at screenshots of that game and it does look like it would be something I could try one time.

Playing Sonic the Hedgehog, on th iOS: Only because there's Time Attack mode available as an option. I love the idea of setting times and finding out my position and what can I do to improve.

Also been playing a lot of Pokemon, particularly battling on the online server, ever since Sun & Moon came out.
