If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Made reloading annoying as hell. It's a light gun but you had to pump it to reload and for a game where you're shooting a ton it's just a big pain.

I dunno man some of my best light gun memories in the arcade was with the shotgun controllers. When I was something really young like 9 my friends and I would play carnevil and house of the dead and we'd have 4 kids with 2 shooting and the other 2 would just reload the guns non-stop while they shot, it was stupid but hey.

It was kinda great though because you could just continually shoot while reloading without having to move the gun off-screen like every other light gun game.

Ok now imagine playing without having someone else to reload for you :P

It makes me sad that typing of the dead 2 never got a release outside of Japan since that would've solved my problems with that game

Yes typing of the dead rules. Just get the PC version.

I loved that game (it was a House of the Dead knock-off, at least the one that I played) and reloading felt so visceral.

That's Typing of the Dead Overkill. Typing of the Dead 2 is House of the Dead 3.

ToTD2 was the one based off HoTD3, wasn't it? I could have sworn I had a PC copy in English of that game at some point, but maybe it was the Japanese version.

I feel you. My preferred style of light gun is the one where it reloads once it's no longer pointing at the screen, so I could just keep my left hand close to the barrel and cover the sensor with a finger to reload without moving the gun.

I woke up and my side felt wet. It was blood. There weren't any scratches or punctures or anything and it was all fresh, like, appeared sometime within the minute that I had woken up.

KCB and I have no idea what the gently caress. There was a decent amount of it just smeared on my side.

Wtf





So how're people doing this morning? Hopefully your mornings are less blood-filled than mine.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.

I now have 75 hours in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and I'm reflecting on how glad I am that I got it. This game has been really good for podcast listening, zoning out, and for yesterday, just playing so I could have something simple and rewarding to focus on while I calmed down from an anxiety attack.

Game is good.

Torso. I've had nosebleeds at night in the past and I know this wasn't something like that since at least a random night nosebleed would leave blood on my face.

Thankfully I haven't gotten the nosebleeds as much anymore. For a while, they happened with enough frequency that a few of my friends were convinced I was actually an anime protagonist because the nosebleeds first started up the same time I started dating KCB lol

I suffer from terrible, terrible nosebleeds due to a genetic defect with my nose and blood. It's quite ridiculous but I am used to it. People who see it, however, never are and this is because I will often bleed through my eyes.

I once woke up to my pillow being completely stained red. That was a shock!

3D World gets pretty dang hard towards the end, especially the bonus worlds. All the aids in the world (cat suits, Peach or especially Rosalina) will not avail you.

To me 3D World is weirdly underrated, I guess because of the Wii U factor? I'd easily consider it one of the best Mario titles ever made, up there with the Galaxies and World, but it's usually just a footnote in any conversation about the franchise. Beating Champion's Road is one of my most cherished gaming accomplishments.

which D-Pad was worse: N64, Dreamcast, or X360? The first two are rough as gently caress. One's too concave, the other is somehow raised too much to do anything without hurting.
