What is everybody else up to?

I've been meaning to expose myself to more American games so I booted up the original Uncharted off the Nathan Drake Collection. It's pretty neat so far, though pressing X every time to jump off cliffs and grab ledges can get annoying and I hope they fixed it to a Zelda-style auto-jump in later games

idk I liked the new Plinkett review even if he spent longer than necessary on Star Wars' resurgence. He brings up a few good points on how to make Force Awakens better and I found myself agreeing with him a bit

If I can't think of anything I always go with the good ol standby of Nothing But The

Replace "The" with "Luigi" and put "Ain't" before "Nothing" to get "Ain't Nothing But Luigi"

Man Wolf Among Us 2 took quite a different direction

(I beat Wolf Among Us last night by the way, pretty good game)

I feel really old today so thread, tell me about a game you were obsessed with when you were little.

Oh boy, do I have a lot of these to talk about

-I always wanted a copy of Yoshi's Island to rent or just to have
-You couldn't pull me away from Banjo-Kazooie whenever I played it, it was the bee's knees
-I remember I was always asking this one kid to lend me his copy of Super Mario RPG, then eventually he just gave it to me for free
-Any sort of Pokemon game I got my hands on was something I played for hours on end
-Paper Mario 1 and 2 were other Mario RPGs I was completely obsessed over, along with the first Mario & Luigi game
-Yoshi's Story was always something I played since I didn't have Yoshi's Island growing up until much later, but I loved it just as much

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who really didn't care for Season 1.

I've never even finished Walking Dead Season 1 because it runs like dogshit on my computer, and nowadays I don't really care to go back and finish it

I can't believe he's gonna be 25 years old next year. They grow up so fast...

Currently my favorite Kirby game is Planet Robobot, though I also really like Air Ride and Nightmare in Dream Land

I agree with this

Alternatively just have your characters talk over gameplay if you want something more conversational. Kid Icarus Uprising manages to throw a whole lot of words at you without taking away control very often

I honestly don't know why more action games don't do this. You can have tons of text about lore and plot development without having to constantly break up the action

I only finished two games this month, but if I had to choose, probably Wolf Among Us. It's the first Telltale game I've ever beaten and I had a real fun time with it

As far as unfinished games go I've been replaying Bayo 1 on Wii U, and aside from banging my head against chapter 5 for two and a half hours it's just as good as I remember it. My favorite of the Nintendo costumes they added to the game is the Samus costume since you can mess around with the visor in-game and in cutscenes by holding down on the d-pad and it's hilarious

What are good YouTube videos to whittle away my workday with? My workload has been very light as of late and I spend most of the day on SA or watching tutorials of pinball tables. Taking recommendations for funny or entertaining videos or creators that I could spend an hour or so watching to make the part of my work day I spend without work go a little faster.

There's an entire collection of Space Ghost Coast to Coast episodes somewhere on YouTube, they're great for passing the time with

Alternatively, Super Best Friends Play is always a fun time, they just tend to have extra long videos a lot of the time on their channel

Both Mario Galaxies are amazing and trying to decide which one is better is an impossible task for me, so I just consolidate them into one when I talk about them

Who's saying Doom 2016 is slow. Game is fast as gently caress (and also super good)

Every time I tried to follow a KungFuJesus LP of XIII-2 or Lightning Returns I get lost and turned off by the nonsense story and how it barely gives you any direction

World of Final Fantasy looks super cool though and I would get it if I wasn't drowning in RPGs at the moment
