I hammered through the season tasks in Diablo 3, it was interesting.

It's a good way to get people to start from scratch, and it helps expose game content, changes, updates, and so on. It's a great opportunity to try a new character as well, so you can be exposed to different strategies.

I played Doom 3 and it's not very good. It's a little bit bland because the formula is almost entirely "walk down a hallway, a random scary thing happens, demons come from in front of and also behind you. Sometimes the hallway is square shaped." I am going back to Chex Quest.

It's really a shame you can't just skip to the good parts that are toward the end of the game, with the hellscapes, the fast movement, and they quit the jump scares and just send thing at you around blind corners.

But at least you played the game you bought, which I'm sure is more than a lot of people end up doing(myself included)

In case you really can't decipher it, they had some of the UFC fighters play Doom on an episode of The Ultimate Fighter a while back as a promo thing. But you can't really say that in 160 characters and so # @ # # @ it is.

edit: someone who's a fan of OG doom/doom 2 throw some .wads you like at me, I have finished up with the original games and am ready to take GZDoom to its logical extreme.

Besides being an annoying tech trend, there's no technology to make similar tags aggregate, and so #Ultimatefighter and #Ultimatefighters will not be put on the same list. Instead you get two separate lists about the same thing. They are therefore useless as a measurement of how popular a topic of discussion is, because there's any combination of ways to spell or organize the words you put in the tag- but sites that use hashtags, Twitter especially, judge popularity of a subject by how trending it is as a tag, not by the subject's popularity across all tags, but on tags individually. It's a flawed system.

edit: Also, you can't put spaces in hashtags and there's no way to parse letters from them, which is why they had to put that apostrophe there. SoYouHaveToTypeItLikeThis.

people poo poo on red alert 3, and to be fair I've never played red alert 1 or 2 so I don't know how 3 differs from the first two, but I had fun with 3 and they have a lot of fun, hammy actors in there. and jenny mccarthy. but let's not talk about her.

George Takei as the emperor of the empire of the rising sun, jk simmons as the president of the usa, and tim curry as the head of russia are all just excellent at their roles

I watched an old roommate play through the entirety of KH2 and have watched full-on slideshows about what the series' plot is about and I still don't have even an inkling of an understanding. Fortunately according to goons, this means my brain is likely functioning normally.

kingdom hearts games have really stupid stories past the first game (which also had a dumb story but it was a fun happy-go-lucky plot that wasn't neck-deep in its own backstory and lore) but I love the gameplay, they are fun action rpgs

except when I played chain of memories and got to a point where I didn't have a map card I needed to progress, and I kept grinding for them but the right map card never dropped so I could never complete the game :(
