All his videos since what seems to be a focus-shift from regular Let's Plays a year or two back are amazing, because the main conceit is "how can I succeed while doing literally everything wrong?" Or just good old "Can I do A Thing? Oh I can! ...How can I abuse this?..."

He is the only let's player I actually followbecause his videos are really funny most of the time. The zoo tycoon ones had me belly laughing and most videos are solid. What makes me appreciate him is the effort he shows when making a hosed up construction, some of the construction he does as a joke take hours.

His planet coaster videos are also recommended.

Mitten Squad, a Fallout challenge run let's player (like, "can you beat New Vegas without moving your camera"), has run times at the end of his videos, I wish Josh could do that too.

Okami HD let's you skip cutscenes, which effectively removes the blight known as your sidekick Issun.

Speaking of, Okami ranks as a title that's better than the game series it heavily derives from. Does anyone actually remember Twilight Princess fondly?

In the spirit of this thread, I am playing through Octopath Traveler now and appreciate the party member Cyrus Albright. He's a professor of history and literature at the university of "Atlasdam" in the " Flatlands". As a Dutch academic in the field of comparative literature with a partner that shares part of his name, it's impossible not to feel some empathy for that loveable dork.

Dark Souls 2 has a word censor filter that results in people who put 'Knight' in their name showing up as 'K***ht' in multiplayer. For obvious reasons. I don't know if this counts as a little thing but I laugh every time because of how unsophisticated of a system it must be to result in that.

edit: The full list of banned words is truly wonderful to behold. Goatse, tubgirl and lemonparty feature on it.

There was a Lego building game or something that had moderators with their sole jobs being to delete or ban users making dicks.

They realized their jobs were impossible around when, after realizing just a standard dong while get erased, users started making multiple structures that made penises when viewed at certain angles instead. Human creativity is infinite.

It’s more of a company thing than a game thing, but I really appreciate how most games from Falcom have enemies give experience based on the level difference between you and the enemy. I usually get a little anxious that I’m not at the “intended” level so having monsters just give nearly no experience when you are overleveled is cool, as is being able to catch up when you’re underleveled in a very short amount of time.

I don’t think I’ve seen that mechanic super widespread, the fifth generation of Pokémon games started doing it (although it skipped a generation; it’s gone in X/Y but back in Sun/Moon onward) but nothing else I can really remember.

Someone linked an article about the Disney Toontown MMO in the replies, which has the following amazing story:

quote:

One of their guys piped up: "Couldn’t we do some kind of sentence constructor, with a limited vocabulary of safe words?"

Before we could give it any serious thought, their own project manager interrupted, "That won’t work. We tried it for KA-Worlds."

"We spent several weeks building a UI that used pop-downs to construct sentences, and only had completely harmless words – the standard parts of grammar and safe nouns like cars, animals, and objects in the world."

"We thought it was the perfect solution, until we set our first 14-year old boy down in front of it. Within minutes he’d created the following sentence:

I want to stick my long-necked Giraffe up your fluffy white bunny.

KA-Worlds abandoned that approach. Electric Communities is right, chat is out."

in PUBG Mobile some maps have a Thompson submachine gun and it has the normal magazine BUT if you find an extended mag it then has the drum and that is super badass. All Tommy guns should have drums only

Exploration is ill-advised.
MGS Peace Walker has the tommy gun which you can upgrade to have the drum magazine, Fallout New Vegas too.

Funnily enough, IRL the drum was apparently considered impractical, being more trouble than its worth because it was too fiddly and easily jammed, as well as being heavy and awkward.

Even modern drum magazines are fiddly and prone to jamming since having the spring exert a constant pressure over 100 rounds is really hard. In the 1940’s there was no way they were going to have it work reliably enough to be useful.

It also rattled a fair bit compared to the box magazines, and they were more expensive, which is why the wartime M1 and M1A1 Thompson’s removed the ability to use the drums at all. The Russian PPSh had the same issues, with the added bonus that drums weren’t always fully interchangeable between guns, so finding one that worked for a specific gun was sometimes an issue, which is why it also got a stick magazine too eventually.
