I was just saying that popular opinions influence media, it's not a contentious issue. If anything, games are less censored than ever, and some companies revel in that

No company wants to release a game that people find sexist or weird, like Other M for example. Nintendo didn't really expect that on the dossier of things people hated about the game that a sexist representation of Samus would be one of them

So, stepped on a d6 in Binding of Isaac without realising what it did. Became a monster that couldn't attack, and instead spawned blue spiders? What powerup causes this?

Great game though - getting into it for the first time properly.

There are several things that change abilities at a fundamental level, and some of them overlap in unfortunate ways. I would say double check to make sure that if you hold down the attack button for awhile you don't start blinking or glowing and fire a bigass charged beam though.

e: I'm pretty sure at some point I ended up with some combo of short-range mega-tear quad-beams with brimstone and chocolate milk that took like 10-20 seconds to charge to be able to fire

The dice rooms do different things based on how many pips are on the die. Just google "Isaac dice room" to see what each one does. I can't remember! Although yea, 6 must be the one that totally rerolls your items.

Shantae and Shovel Knight are coming to Blaster Master Zero and they both will be free for the first 2 weeks. Shovel Knight could even do the shovel drop and fish.:3:

I love all of these games, this is great news. These dumb fun crossovers need to happen more.

They're even more fun than watching people get confused about big boots, a helmet, and a shirt with matching shorts on the new Xenoblade protagonist.

I think most people must just be thrown by the fact that it's actually something functional.

What's the ball pod on the back of the main character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2?


The vest closes up, the helmet's on a hinge at the back of the neck to flip over onto the collar so it locks in place like a diving helmet. The pants aren't even weird, they're just lightweight armor allowing freedom of movement. It's not exactly what you'd call street-wear, but it's clearly functional for a job of some kind :shrug:.

Those Shantae and Shovel Knight DLC characters in Blaster Master Zero actually look really good, as if they jumped right out of their respective games. I'll bite. I don't know why I haven't bought that game yet; the demo was pretty fun.

It's probably my favorite remake of an 8-bit game. They really improve on everything wrong with the original without adding superfluous stuff. It's a no-brainer at :10bux:.

One thing I liked about Chronicles X is you could choose the armor you wanted for effect separately from what you were wearing aesthetically, so I didn't have to have characters wearing ridiculous poo poo. It was all khakis or jeans and a shirt with a sensible leather jacket.

Yeah, if your armor changes your appearance, having a cosmetic option is really, really nice.
