A couple of optional bosses in Bravely Second have unique boss themes, despite being otherwise normal bosses, and it's pretty great to just have that treatment come out of nowhere. One of the sidequests is to settle an argument between the Performer and Pirate job-holders over who gets the rights to a recently-discovered piece by a classic composer. It's already pretty great in how silly it is, but then you get to the boss fight of whoever you disagreed with and their boss theme is their rendition of it; either a slow and soulful ballad by a deep-voiced man, or a cheap and tacky J-Pop track. But I think my favorite is the one that gets a boss theme from Bravely Default. But barely gets to play it, because a guest party member keeps hijacking the soundtrack during his special moves.

Everything I wanted to say about DS3 has already been said probably, but I gotta say, I love all the new weapon mechanics. A lot of the skills are really interesting and allow for more interesting and fun battles than the previous games. I'm currently going through Catacombs with the Farron Greatsword. I loving love this thing. Just flipping around all over the place with a giant loving sword. I'm not even upset when using it sends me careening to my death in the Catacombs' bottomless pits

One of them's alive. He'll join your shrine and sell you sorceries. He also gives you a free level up I'm actually upset about him because the last time I went to my Firelink and went to talk to him he was dead. I don't know if it was an npc or if it was something to do with him specifically cuz he talks about not dying like he was supposed to. I liked him  e: oops, didn't mean to doublepost

All he wanted was a new purpose. You gave him that purpose. And, if you allow him to gift you all five free levels, he has fulfilled that purpose, so he dies. The lady who shows up and stands near his body kinda tells you as much. But yeah, he always dies after you get five levels from him. I think he even has a bit of dialogue after the last level about how you'll just have to see what happens next....

In my first playthrough Yoel died at the same time as Leonhard left so I thought Leonhard was a Yurt-like character. Also, I only got three free level ups from Yoel...

Yoel dies when you reach the Catacombs no matter what happens, so you gotta take those 5 free levels to advance his questline before then.

I had a goofy Dark Souls 3 moment yesterday. I was in a room with a big fire breathing miniboss Demon and a Mimic chest. I really wasn't looking forward to fighting the demon because those things can be kind of tough but luckily it turned out I didn't have to as his fire breath ended up hitting the Mimic. Cue the Mimic running down to the demon and beating the hell out of it, killing it without ever taking damage.

counter to the idea of the thread, but: i finally started playing Europa Universalis IV. I spent several hours as the Aztecs with the goal of going Pastwatch on Europe. turns out you can't make boats at all without "westernizing" if you're using a native american tech progression, okay, my fault for not properly investigating the feasibility or whatever even though that's an incredibly stupid restriction so i did it again with a custom aztec empire using the chinese tech progression (as suggested by the internet) and it took my whole computer down with a blue screen when I finally pulled everything together and attempted to make the first step into invading portugal. probably my fault somewhere along the line what with the memory editing to tech up stringless has a new favorite as of 14:38 on Apr 21, 2016 |

I think my two favorite little touches in DS3 so far are that if you try to infuse the Dark Sword with dark it becomes the Reinforced Dark Sword and not the Dark Dark Sword, and that there is a silver knight staring at a painting of Gwynevere instead of doing his job.

In the new Ratchet and Clank remake, anyone and everything dances if you lob a Groovitron at them. Including the weapon vendor consoles  .The Groovitron is a beautiful thing in of itself; It 's a mini disco ball that gets thrown like a grenade before floating up into the air and causing every enemy within its area of effect to break out into sweet dance moves, leaving them helpless to your other weapons while they strut their funky stuff.

Blizzard's Hearthstone has had the following card since day one. For those who don't play the game, it costs 3 mana has 5 attack and 1 health. It's not a good card, since that one point of health means it's going to die to pretty much everything and make no impact (it can't attack on the turn it is summoned). In fact, there even was statistical data from the developer that it was the worst card in the game (a dubious honor it had for a loooong time). They ended up adding this card to The Grand Tournament expansion.  It's flavor text is "He's a lot cooler than Magma Rager" to drive the point further home (and even this superior card is rarely ever played). They are close to releasing another expansion which features some "corrupted" versions of existing cards. Today they revealed this card.

In one of the single-player adventures in Hearthstone there's a thief boss whose gimmick the first time you fight him is that he steals the deck you built to fight against him and uses it against you (and you have a middling deck provided for you instead). This is pretty unique, and obviously leads to you building as lovely of a deck as you can for him to play so you can win. He has just two special quotes for the fight: - if you bring an all-golden deck (think foils/holographic cards in physical decks, basically a cosmetic upgrade that requires a lot of time/money), he's really surprised and says your collection rivals his own - but if you put a magma rager in, he heckles you for doing so.

Including the weapon vendor consoles That's the funniest thing about Mr Zerkon in the previous games. He'll keep fighting, ignoring the influence of the groovitron (or whatever it was called then), and then dance sarcastically when the battle is over.

Playing Enslaved and while some of the translations of Journey to the West from fantasy in ancient China to sci-fi in post-apocalyptic America are a little wonky or hamfisted (slavery being casually used as a plot device, Monkey's flying cloud being a hoverboard) the way they get around him having a tail by having part of his outfit be a long belt/sash trailing behind him that they animate to look like a monkey's tail as it's flapping behind you is cute and appropriately subtle.
