Running around in a Lego head smacking zombies with chainsaw and mannequins was super fun, I just didn't feel like pushing past the final boss :shobon:

Also that Solstice Music was composed by Tim Follen. Tim and Geoff Follen are utter maestros at using sound chips to compose heavily layered and awesome music.

The Silver Surfer music is one of their best :D

I can totally agree with this. I still like a lot o NES game OST's and usually when I look them up those names are tied to em.

Like Pictionary shouldn't be this hype but it is

It took far too much time in Dead Rising to get back into the mall after you died (if you didn't want to reload from a save).

I'm going to be out of date by asking this but it's been on my mind.

I don't really go to twitch because the player sucks on my laptop and I don't usually care to catch anything "live" when I can just watch it on my own time later. The past couple months though I checked out a couple Fortnite streams as I wanted to see what that game was, and a few others offhand (stuff like Overwatch just to see if the games still alive etc). Just went for the popular ones to see what made the games appealing.

I was greeted by donation messages that were like "Wow you're a loving moron. Thanks for the money retard!" "Lol x has self cucked themselves out of ___ dollars!" and the streamer just parroting the same thing back to his crowd calling them morons or just kinda coming off as a huge rear end in a top hat.

Is that just the hip thing these days?

you gotta go down to the people with under 10k viewers to not find someone trying to be an edgy meme-streamer. There are a couple of good ones but more often saying things like "lmao kys thanks for the bits" is what's gonna keep getting views :cripes:

I started following one of the VAs from the new Life is Strange game on twitter and now she streams Fortnite as her Life is Strange character and gets 50k views a night. It’s a very odd time to be alive.

The only streamer I watch at all really is LobosJR and unless anything has changed recently he seems pretty chill and just chats about whatever ridiculous Dark Souls challenge run he's attempting.

Well, he did cheat on his fiancée (the one he proposed to live on stream), but I guess that's probably not relevant to his stream content.

There's a guy who's been streaming bloodborne speedruns with a modded (hex edited?) version of the game that allows him to have infinite consumables. This lets him do like molotov only or tiny tonitrus only runs. Pretty cool, though I can only watch like one boss fight before I get bored.

Replaying original Tomb Raider on DOS and uh it's still a good game because it's basically Prince of Persia and built with a very concise set of rules. Also reminds me of Souls games because the level designers LOVE putting pits and boulders in areas you want to run through but should really slow the gently caress down.



Never noticed Lara was so ripped.



Also finished the original MechWarrior, a text adventure without one actual mech combat.

It's been 20+ years since I played it but I thought the story path on Mechwarrior required you to pick up some crew members and do at least a couple missions.

I could be wrong here since I just found out about it recently but from what I read that isn't what happened. My understanding was that he realized he had developed feelings for someone else and called it off so it was still a painful situation but not as bad as Olive! said.

There are multiple cases of streamers cheating on their spouses on-air so it's easy to get confused.

The only things I watch on twitch are FG tourneys and people like TeamSp00ky and such don't have donation messages because they're already paid to go to these events and stream them. Well I also watch Aris and he makes fun of the donation messages people send in because they're usually terrible. But the message itself just says X donated Y dollars.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I beat The Surge last night and then wrote like 1000 words on my interpretation of the story for the game's thread. It's a good game with some flaws but I'm really happy I waited for the complete edition for go on sale to take the plunge.

Death counts:
Second to last boss - 30
Last boss, phase 1 - 4
Last Boss, phase 2 - 2

That second to last boss was such a wall for me but I'm glad I powered through. Now I can get back to Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2.

I don't watch people too often on twitch but when I do, I'll just go to the speedrunning tag and see who is speedrunning at the moment, see if anyone is routing or running a game I'm curious about or are relatively empty so I can just chill out in their chat

I've never come across a Twitch streamer that tries super hard to be edgy (maybe soda poppin' sometimes?)

Check out Trihex, CobaltStreak, or Richard Hammer.

As someone who followed the tweets of both parties as it came out, no, he slept with another woman.

Nope, you're only required to fight the pirates to get the chalice at the end. It's actually more efficient to sell your starting Jenner as soon as the game begins, go through all the story beats, then buy a heavy mech and do the final battle. It's hard solo but the AI is pretty dumb and shows you their back often.

Like, not only is that not a Good ending, it might be one of the bleakest endings I've seen in a videogame, what the gently caress, Ubi?

edit:

also, the villain is Tom Cruise



So if I played the game, would it make any more sense as to why one ending magically turns from nighttime to midday and why the other doesn't? Is the entire "good" ending a hallucination as well or something?
