It's part of the current Humble Choice so you can probably get it + several more games for the same amount of dosh.

I loving loved Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. I loved building crazy poo poo to accomplish mundane tasks. Probably the moment that really sold me was when I was stuck on a mission to bring a certain number of items to a thing that sucked them up within a tight time limit. It occured to me that I could just build a chopper and bring the whole collection array over to what I was collecting. Finished the mission in less then 30 seconds and spent the rest of the game looking for absurd solutions. I assume my ancient laptop is incapable of running this, which makes me extremely sad.

I heard about something about Star Wars happening in Fortnite but never really thought anything of it at the time. Then I went to see the movie and it said something in the opening crawl that was totally out of left field and it pretty much drove the plot of the movie. It was dumb as hell. Turns out it was referencing something that happened in Fortnite.

jarlywarly posted:What was that I missed that reference? Palpatine is alive and said "sup!" to the universe. I don't think it's something was meant to be exclusive to Fortnite tho. They probably recorded it, realized there was no way to put it AFTER the start of the movie and axed it. Then they wanted to do a Fortnite promo and probably scraped it from the cutting room floor. People make it sound like a big deal, like you need to CONSUME this piece of content to understand the movie, when it just feels like another teaser. And the movie trailers already made it obvious that Palpatine was returning. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Jan 16, 2020 |

I saw the Fortnite scene in YouTube and it doesn't really add much to the movie, it's just Palp giving a fairly generic evil speech. Dunno why people were treating it like it was an indispensable prequel to the movie.

It was mostly it making no sense and JJ throwing away things from the previous movie and inventing new things out of thin air just to make his lovely ideas work.

Eh! Frank posted:Wait, is that seriously something they revealed in the movie's opening title crawl? I haven't seen the new Star Wars yet, and I was still interested in checking it out before it leaves theaters, but the fact that the movie goes "Hey, turns out Palpatine is alive!" in some text instead of an actual scene in the movie kills most of the interest I had. That is seriously poo poo. Yes, it's the first few lines of the opening crawl. It is some bullshit that put EU stink on the movie that never came off.

Spoiler-tagged since I just remembered this is actually the Free Games thread. EPISODE IX THE RISE OF SKYWALKER The dead speak! The galaxy has heard a mysterious broadcast, a threat of REVENGE in the sinister voice of the late EMPEROR PALPATINE. GENERAL LEIA ORGANA dispatches secret agents to gather intelligence, while REY, the last hope of the Jedi, trains for battle against the diabolical FIRST ORDER. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader KYLO REN rages in search of the phantom Emperor, determined to destroy any threat to his power.

"Kylo Ren rages in search" is just dogshit phrasing. I eyerolled at that as much as I did at the Palpatine reveal.

Mierenneuker posted:Spoiler-tagged since I just remembered this is actually the Free Games thread. When this broke, I sort of skirted over it as hype. I basically read the word "Fortnite" and ignored everything else, not interested in words or meaning. When the movie premiered, I generally took in what I really wanted from the new Star Wars movie: a sampling of the sour criticism from a few YouTube personalities. In other words, beyond RedLetterMedia and a few others, I know nothing about the new Star Wars. Just now, I finally read the above and lol I am still have a hard time believing something this stupid can be true.

Really great puzzle game that I tried when it came out but becomes close to incomprehensible as you progress and more mechanics are introduced. Got to some upside-down Escher level relatively far into the game and after looking at it for days had to admit that I was just too stupid to continue any farther.

Pandemic Express has become F2P. It's sort of like Zombie Panic! with silly physics from what I can tell. If it's something you might like, get in on it now before the player population dwindles again. It's been sitting at 0 players for months and has jumped up to ~200 since becoming free but I don't expect it'll last long.

I was hoping they'd have more success with it.

TV IV has at least two Star Wars threads, CineD has two, Trad Games has at least two, BSS has one, Games has two, The MMO HMO has two. And yet somehow you still manage to make every other thread be about Star Wars.
