Starcraft 64 was bad, but IIRC Command and Conquer 64 was actually quite good, it just lacked the FMV's because lol cartridges

Thinking of booting up Starcraft ii for the first time in like two years to check out the official co op mode. There were a bunch of co op custom maps I used to play for the first game but everything now is just mobas and poo poo

You remember when Counter-Strike blew up and like every other Half-Life mod was some derivative of that, all trying to catch lightning in bottle again? It's the exact same poo poo with DotA clones.

TBH those people wasted their time and should have focused on making Science & Industry clones

Yea I was never into the mobas and the mindless massing type maps in Starcraft 1 but they were always the most popular. I mean, I'm not the king of taste or anything cause In addition to more co op stuff I also liked long rear end maps like resident evil or starship troopers where you just sit in a defense and survive waves of enemies and then level up your dude.

i've never played a moba afaik, and I don't feel less for that.

Maybe they're good games, but everytime I see anyone talking about the players in DOTA it ends up a big NOPE.

But to be honest that's my reaction to anyone taking games SERIOUS

PS4 Remote Play on PC is pretty neat. It looks kind of crummy but it lets me play Persona 5 on my laptop while the lady is watching TV. I like how plugging the gamepad into the laptop doesn't remove the sync from the PS4, so if I want to play on TV I can just unplug it and go direct.

Speaking of mods, someone made a pretty loving rad mod for Dark Souls 1. It randomizes item placements in the game:

quote:

In case you're unaware what such a program entails, it allows you to randomly generate a set of treasures so that your playthrough of Dark Souls will be more interesting. Now, the program just mixes up existing treasures (mostly), so you don't have to worry about every treasure being a Whip or something. This is not for new players, by the way. It's not a fair, lore-friendly or sensible way to receive the items in the game. It is random.

I decided I wanted to add a little flair of my own to this idea, so you can set the difficulty of the generator. Don't get me wrong: the easiest difficulty is plenty challenging, because items can end up in weird locations that you might not be aware of, but the harder difficulties are something else. The Dark Souls of item randomizers, if you will. The generator will give you a short description of the difficulty level you've selected, so I won't repeat them here. If you're looking for a simple, new (but still Dark Souls hard) experience, I suggest the easiest difficulty, "Human". If you're a speedrunner who has a photographic memory of where every item in the game is, I suggest the hardest difficulty, "Hollow". The other two difficulties, "Undead" and "Deprived", are somewhere in between.

The randomizer also includes the options to scramble armor sets as entire sets or as individual items. I've called the latter option "Fashion Souls", since you'll probably end up mixing-and-matching the armor that you find.

at my elderly age of 33 or 34 I dont remember, I think I turn 34 in a few months. I had to ask my wife just now lol. I'm not even drunk.

Anyhow at my advanced age I just DO not and WILL not see the appeal of either Esports or loving twitch poo poo idk. I wish I did and could make cool money off of sitting around playing the same map over and loving over again apparently and get sweet gaming gear but oh well

E sports ain't my thing and thus I'd be totally willing to let it lie but they make it so cringe worthy by trying to emulate ~real~ sports by having them wear jerseys w sponsors, having obnoxious rapid fire announcers, and doing promos where the dudes post up and try to look hard. I also saw a commercial for a vice special on e sports that featured a shot of a dude working out in the gym to prep for his Starcraft match against his rival.

Oh ya I'm just talking about stuff I see on tv. To be fair though I peeked the college heroes of the storm thing over summer and it wasn't as bad. Game actually seemed kind of interesting, as far as mobas go. Probably just that blizzard brand familiarity though

Also I wanna see some cool poo poo on tv like a professional 64 player battlefield match or something wild. I'd watch that stuff instead of sterile cs and moba

When you knock him off the bridge, you are knocking him into the boss room. The elevator for the short cut right after that bridge has a place you can walk off halfway up. Illusory wall, and then his boss room.

Super hidden.

It's a pretty good game but my computer sucks so I'm getting a lot of frame rate loss. That mixed with me not playing quake multiplayer for any serious amount of time in about 17 years is ending in me getting my rear end kicked a lot.
