The skylanders designs imo are all over the place, some are pretty great and then a lot are just weirdly bland and boring. I get that it's primarily aimed at kids but you'd think they'd try to make all of the characters interesting instead of just some.

Like, seriously, here are two different figures from the Trap Team line.

I'm thinking of making my 2017 Gaming themed. In that, each month I play a specific kind of game and only that sort of game for the whole month in order to whittle down my backlog.

So far I have

Japanuary - Jrpgs and games from the Japanese developers.
Fpsbruary - 1st person shooters only.
March! - RTS/Grand Strategy games
April Scours - Metroidvanias, exploration games
May -
June -
July -
Just August? - Stealth games
SeptVNber - Visual Novels, story heavy games like firewatch or w/e
Spooktober - Scary games/games designed to create fear.
Neverember - Classics I own that I've never gotten round to (scary amount of this).
Indecember - Indie Games.

Can anyone help with suggestions months and styles of games?

Playing through this weird French indie RPG called Off, because people told me it was better than LISA and Undertale. So far its incredibly weird and kind of depressing.

Looks like the PSVR review embargo has been lifted. The verdict so far: It's nice tech that's slightly pulled back by the use of PS4's hardware, especially the awful Move controls.

I like the Darkness graffiti video because that stuff was neat to see they got actual graffiti guys to do.

Back then, Fig posted a chart that if in an investor invested $1,000, if Pyschonauts 2 sold 1.7M copies at an average wholesale price of $21 (a little under $30 retail), an investor would get back $1,000 for a profit of $800. http://siliconangle.com/blog/2015/12...psychonauts-2/

Considering Pyschonauts 1 had lifetime sales of 1.7M, and the majority of them were far under $30 (736k of these sales were when it was in a humble bundle, and many sales were when it was discounted to $1), this seemed risky, but still doable.

However, now that the offering has been approved by the SEC, I received an email I could finally make an investment. Prior to making the investment, I reviewed the SEC offering document :

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1658966/000121390016017011/f1a1215a5_figpublishing.htm

The terms are completely different, and based on the terms of the offering agreement, if someone invests $1,000, Pyschonauts 2 will need to sell over 2 million copies at a retail price of $60 before that investor will even receive their initial investment yet (without any profit). This means selling over 300,000 more copies than Psychonauts 1 and all at a retail price of $60, just to get your initial investment back. Seems completely impossible.

Someone on reddit also did the math:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DOUBLEFINE/comments/556q28/a_look_at_figs_psychonauts_2_investment/

TLDR: Pyschonauts 2 on fig was advertised as needing to sell 1.7M copies at a wholesale price of $21 for investors to get an 80% return.

Now that people can actually invest, the terms have changed and it needs to sell over 2M copies at a retail price of $60 for investors to get a 0% return.

Psychonauts 1 has lifetime sales of 1.7M. 736k were when it was in a humble bundle and many more were when it was sold for $1.

I mean it'll definitely have multiplayer like GTA5, but GTA5 was still a fully-featured singleplayer game. Moreso than GTA4 was, for that matter.

People who are fretting at this stage are being dumb

Red Dead Redemption had a fully featured multiplayer that had more gamemodes than GTA 5 has how many times must I say this

GTA 5's online is still real good without giving them a cent, and regardless of their moneygrubbing they don't withhold any of the gameplay

I try to be as nice as I can to the fast food employees around here, because that poo poo sucks. As a result I get all kinds of free stuff, just for being a decent human being. But like, I don't even deserve a reward for that poo poo, but that's just how lovely most people are to each other; people are surprised when you just use basic courtesy.

I'm kinda drunk...

Yeah, shooting the kevlar enemies in the chest instead of headshotting them in Max Payne 3 pretty much fills your entire bullet time gauge. The things you notice after spending over a hundred hours with a game.
