I was gonna get Owlboy until I discovered it was $25. Maybe when it goes on sale I'll get it

In the meantime, I have a hard time figuring out what I want to play or beat for November. I don't want to touch Yo-Kai Watch 2 or Persona Q again, but I'm having a hard time trying to justify finishing up any of my console games. I guess I could just wait around until Pokemon Sun arrives at my house

Boo this man. Boooooooooo. If I had a gif of Owlboy sad it would wreck your heart. :colbert:

I'll still get it eventually but right now $25 is a little much for me

Platinum Games superfanboys, the super best friends, called titanfall 2's campaign better and more exciting than vanquish on their podcast

my copy is still on the way is this possibly true? no way right?

I haven't bought and finished either, but from what little I played of Vanquish at Gen Con a couple years ago, there's no way that can be true

I got prize money from a costume contest on another forum a couple days ago and I used that to buy Owlboy. It's super fun and the sprite work is gorgeous, but it's really making me wish I had a PC controller

Also had an awkward moment where I tweeted about how it doesn't work on my garbage specs PC and then Adrian Bauer himself swooped in to ask specifics, but then I told him I got it working on my laptop

There were no actual costumes involved, everyone on the forum made separate accounts that depicted their costume choice. We had two contests going on during the event; one was for having the best and most entertaining costume, and the other was for having zero guesses to who was using the costume. The prizes for both were $10

I went as Space Ghost in his Coast to Coast incarnation and won both contests

Just saw Doctor Strange
It was very cool and good
I would recommend

I also just got back from seeing Doctor Strange and it was super cool, but my favorite character was the Cape of Levitation

It gets points taken away though for not featuring Shuma-Gorath in any capacity, but oh well. Maybe in the next movie

I think it's hilarious how noted hard game series Shin Megami Tensei with a simple element system can get away with letting you knows which skills do the most damage on certain enemies, but when Pokemon with a complicated type system and abilities on top of that introduces the same thing, that's where gamers draw the line

Evening goons

Two friends of mine have gotten together and started up a series of videos discussing a particular level within a video game, and going into detail on what that level does for any given concept like atmosphere or pacing. Their first episode was on Gradius III and how it handles game design with pacing in mind. It's a pretty cool series and I'm plugging it here to try and help them make it big, so any cursory glances at all would be appreciated

I dunno, but maybe if you pester them about doing an episode on Mega Man X they'll consider it

Orlando, I'm gonna hang out with friends at a bunch of resorts including just outside the Islands of Adventure and several places around Disney World

I was going to pick Rowlet until Incineroar won me over by being a heel wrestler with a heart of gold

Where's the "heart of gold" part

He still owns, just wondering

Part of his description on the main Sun/Moon website:

quote:

If a crowd watching it battle is pumped up, Incineroar’s fighting spirit will burn brighter. But a lackluster crowd can make it lose focus or fight shoddily. When it receives the admiration of young Pokémon and children, it may keep up its cold attitude on the outside, but in its heart of hearts, Incineroar is immensely happy. It loses the desire to fight when faced with a Pokémon that’s clearly weak or injured, and it sometimes gets taken advantage of as a result.

Heeeey. What is everyone's game of the month.

Beside Pokemon I guess. Be interesting

Guess what it's Pokemon

For real though, Sun and Moon are both incredible games. Probably the thing that has surprised me the most, outside of changing up your main objectives and giving older Pokemon cool new forms, is the cast of characters. All the main characters are completely fantastic (some even go through lots of character development too!), but even the trial captains and kahunas are great too. I'm not even done with the whole game yet, but this is easily the best cast of characters in any Pokemon game, and probably the best story in a Pokemon game too
