I mean there's the ones you've heard of, but then there's also two other completely separate stealth sections that start with the person who is chasing you... seeing you're there and talking to you to your face and then running off so you can sneak past them for some reason.

LoS was like a montage of ideas from better games done much worse. All playing it did was make me want to play the games it was taking ideas from. It didn't help that the plot was bad even for a Castlevania have.

i know this isn't NMD but there's no genchat in NMD and nobody posts there anyway (which is something i've never been able to figure out)

anyway i wrote a song in my dream, happens a lot but this time i was actually able to play it when i woke up, at least the main part of it, and i'm trying to figure out if i stole it from somewhere or i actually "wrote" it.

soundhound gives me nothing helpful, hooktheory tells me that "wreck it wreck-it ralph" by buckner and garcia* and "no rain" by blind melon contain it but not remotely in the way i'm playing it

ANYWAY, the basis of it is just (on E string) 5-3-77777-55-3-5-3-77777-5-3 (ad infinitum)

in my dream it was accompanied by a homeless girl humming along which made it sound like Bardo Pond but i can't find any of their songs that fit


* Bucker and Garcia are still alive and writing songs????

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a sale then but no one can say for sure. And nope the only MGS games playable on PS4 are V and Ground Zeroes. And uh Survive eventually I guess.

Mycroft Holmes posted:

can somebody recommend a good MMORPG that has a firearm focused class? I'm tired of using bows and swords.

Dungeon Fighter Online has the Male and Female Gunners which are very similar but have some differences between them. Because they were the first class to have a genderswap option available, the differences aren't as drastic as later genderswap classes. The subclasses available to both are Ranger, Spitfire, Mechanic, and Launcher.

Ranger
Revolver and melee specialists, gun-fu, gunkata, whatever you wanna call it. FRangers get access to gunblades at level 15 I think which gives them more stuff to do since they're suddenly wielding revolvers with blades on them and they're attached by a chain so they're more or less gunchucks. This is the only class I can remember what the main differences between male and female versions are.



Spitfire
Support specialists who can enchant their bullets, have a variety of grenades and various weaponry for calling in support from the military via summoning a sniper to aim at the enemy or calling in an elite military squad to fight alongside you.



Mechanic
Summoner who focuses on building a variety of different robots from little explosive ones to time bombs to support mechs that fly around shooting at stuff around you and a lot of other bits and pieces where you just set things down and watch enemies get killed.



Launcher
Flamethrowers, laser rifles, megabusters, nuclear warheads, gatling guns, etc etc etc

For some reason or another I ended up listening to this song again. Then I tried looking up what the voice sample they used because I could never tell what it was saying but I guess in previous years some people have managed to track down the source.

e: and also found out that some command and conquer game called Renegade also sampled the same clip. I wonder how that particular bit ended up in some kind of sampling library or however that stuff works.

I'd say it's worth messing around for a bit if you're curious to see a unique adventure game from 1987. It takes place over 7 days in real game time and you have to pay respect to church traditions while also solving the murders.

e2: i just now decided i'm gonna do a LP of DANGITRONPAUL 1-2, which is nothing new, but might be a good way to start my LPing career because it's a game that might attract viewers
