http://www.parenfaire.com/brewfest/index.php I'm hoping to go to this if we're comfortable enough financially by the time it comes around. It looks like a lot of fun!   Lotta breweries, I'll hopefully get to try out all kinds of beers and see if there is anything I enjoy. http://www.parenfaire.com/brewfest/breweries.php Do any of you beer fans recognize any of those breweries? Also, the complimentary food list  Unlimited buffalo chicken mac & cheese sounds rad as gently caress. Also lol at there being additional charges if you wanna buy a pickle tho. Of all the things that they need to add additional charges for, it's the pickle.

Of which she works at a brewery that was desperately trying to get into it but they aren't on that list. Troegs is super popular in PA, and Duclaws is huge in maryland. My current favorite beer is Troegs Troegenator. Angry Orchard and Wyndridge make really good ciders. Desperate Times has some really good beer and aren't that well known so I hope they get noticed there. Liquid Hero is like five minutes from my house and they have some pretty decent beer and a cool brewery/bar. There's a lot of big names there, Weyerbacher and Victory both make good beers. I'm just hoping Desperate Times gets some recognition, they were cool to eat at and they had good beer and just opened not too long ago.

If they have any wheat beers there, I'll try them out since I've heard they're a good entry level thing.

Here's an incomplete list of utterances I've made while playing Nier 2 "Neat" "Whoa" "Uh, alright" "nooooo" "  " "UHHH" "Oh, cool!" "Dog" "Cute" "huh"There's one bit of advice I wish I could go back in time and give myself but I daren't give even the most oblique of spoilers. It's a good game.

John Walker's review of Hollow Knight is one of the most insipid bits of ~games journalism~ I've read in a while, so I'm inclined to believe that he's actually a huge stupid idiot.quote:Hollow Knight presents a peculiar issue. What do you do with a game that is genuinely good, but rather unoriginal? A game that is so, so similar to others that have come recently before it, but is still a beautifully drawn, solidly built metroidvania? Do you say, “Get this one, because it’s the most recent?” That’s not a coherent argument. No, you say "get it because it's genuinely good, beautifully drawn, and solidly built" you dumb gently caress, what kind of opening statement is this supposed to be? Like I know getting mad about video games is a dumb way to be but holy poo poo this guy's writing is so bad it legitimately makes me kind of angry.

That really isn't what they appear to be saying there at all. (Just from your quote, I don't know about the rest of their review.") "Why does this game deserve your money over the existing and already available games that do the same thing" is a question that comes up a lot. Games are good but if a game genuinely doesn't do anything special, remarkable or noteworthy it can be hard to write about because, yes, at the end of the day it comes down to saying "This is a fun game to play but only if you haven't played better games in the game genre already." Which sounds like a criticism but it isn't. There are plenty of "strictly B" games that get overlooked simply because the honest truth is that unless you've already burned through a lot of games in the same genre you can probably spend your time on a better version of the same basic gameplay. (That said I don't think that's a bad thing and I think people over-criticize games for not being literally genre-defining.) ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Mar 15, 2017 |

I think is point makes some kind of sense (Hallow Knight is fun but doesn't really do a whole lot that's all that interesting, although I would argue the way it handles the story elements is cool and very, for lack of a better comparison, Dark Souls), but the way he words that is totally stupid

CJacobs posted:He gives a reason why to play the game in that quote. Unless "it's a gorgeous, beautiful game" doesn't count as an endorsement. To be honest? "It's a gorgeous and beautiful game" isn't as strong an endorsement as it could be, no. Between unique artstyles, impressive graphics and genuinely strong visual design there are plenty of games that have a strong visual presence. It's certainly something that would make me want to play the game but it's also fair to say there's a difference between "makes me want to play the game" and "makes me want to buy the game right away." You, I and everyone in this thread have backlogs of games, some probably dozens of titles long. For something to push past a backlog of games there generally has to be more to say about it than "it's fun to play and has nice visuals" because, again, most of us probably have five or six games minimum that fit that statement and the only reason to spend money on another is because we're hording games for later.
