Original context of that photo is that one of the spaces our man Brad is taking up is a handicap space iirc

Honestly if you're going to park in a handicapped space, go the whole deal and take up multiple handicapped spaces, like 3 or more. It's still the same amount when you get a Ticket, it doesn't matter if you block 1 handicapped space or 5.

For real? I've been seriously limiting myself.

Also I still retain the opinion that The Lost Levels for Super Mario bros. were "lost" for a good reason.

way too much bullshit trick jumps, and if you get a star at certain points in the game it will wind up killing you because some of the jumps require you to bounce on the head of an enemy to gain enough momentum to make it to the next platform. The Star negates this and you just wind up falling to your death.

Also the ending is the exact same as Super Mario bros. 1. Like the People who made this clearly messed up on what made people enjoy the original.

And it turns out that the team who made Doki Doki panic made the engine originally for a mario game before it switched to DDP, which then later switched to Super mario Bros. 2. So SMB2 was the true mario sequel all along.

Imo if you really sincerely love Mario 1, Lost Levels is the perfect extension of it. I agree with you and Zombies' Downfall to the extent that this is a somewhat misguided direction for a sequel(though not a unique one in those days, like how Wizardry 2 required you to have played the first game or you would have a lovely low level party that can't actually complete the dungeon) but it makes for a fantastic expansion pack and treat for those who purchased All-Stars

basically, apparently DDO and that lovely lord of the rings mmo turned into money printing machines when they went f2p and immediately quadrupled their monthly returns

convincing your true believers to give you a thousand dollars a month is the new monthly fee

Mark Cerny called Crash Bandicoot character action.

Character Action is "I like this 3D beatemup more than the other ones, so it's character action"

If it wasn't that, God of War would count.

Borderlands and diablo-likes would be actually enjoyable if the legendary, cool looking weapons and armor with useful or neat effects were every drop. Instead of having to manage your inventory of a million useless pointy sticks.

Cheat engine and Borderlands 2 can make this happen

I'd like a game where you can merge crappy weapons to randomly generate a less crappy one, and then merge those into better stuff and so 100 poo poo-covered sticks could be combined into something radical with a really rare drop rate.

Instead you can sell the crappy weapons to fund repairs for your one actually good one. :/

Dota 2

Also Diablo with transmutation I believe

Is there anything about that game thats been shown/seen other than that one cgi trailer everyone went crazy for?

not much if so, since they said out the gate they were announcing it very early on and wanted to finish The Witcher 3 before it goes into full production

we know it's a game based on the game Cyberpunk and it's being made by CD Projekt Red and that's enough to conclude that it's going to be fully and completely The poo poo

I'm hell of hyped for The Witcher 3 btw, I re-read The Last Wish and I'm probably going to buy Sword of Destiny. Probably the only game that I'm really sure I'm going to play coming up other than Bloodborne

weirdly I ended up thinking about that some more and I think I would actually say Persona 3/4, especially 4, because unlike most games they actually tackle the concept of banality. Seinfeld is banality divided by wackiness

I'm guessing your trolling but whatever, I was only pointing out sales have always been kinda sleazy and preyed on peoples stupidity

well it's true that sales cause people to buy things that they may not really want and would not have bought otherwise, but I feel that a condemnation of sales might as well extend to a condemnation of advertising, which is not a worthwhile position imo.

They're not if you actually want to have a story and/or you don't have them emote to make up for their lack of talking. Half-Life 2 is awkward as hell for example because everybody talks to Gordon and he doesn't say anything.

People say "well you're supposed to fill in what you would say, as Gordon, in your head" but they totally mention the fact that he doesn't talk in the dialogue.

this probably belongs in the confessionals but i found it very boring and couldnt stand the combat. i tried so hard to play it and get into it, but Im just not the target audience

Yeah, that part blew. Torment had pretty bad combat encounters in general. If it ever gets an Enhanced Edition it would actually benefit from a no combat difficulty setting.

on my second run I just used the tome o' cheats or w/e that one of the mods installs

you can also crank your attributes so you can see all the dialogue options!
