5 and 6 are good because they're co-op and all co-op games are immediately good, even when they're bad

There are good podcasts about bad books, and good podcasts about bad movies. Any good podcasts about bad video games someone could recommend?

Abject Suffering is fun if you gel with the hosts sense of humor and can tolerate the odd episode that's dominated by :goonsay: about sports/music/identity politics.

Oh yeah. I think Watch Out for Fireballs is real good but I just don't think those guys are very funny... Better than your average YouTube "Angry Gamer Guyz" of course

:yeah:

The first time through a map is quite intimidating, but eventually you get so good at navigating the different paths and dodging the various patrols that it almost feels like Agent 47 is just a super well-prepared dude with the instincts to match. Plus, if you try the "no costume" challenges you'll discover how well the levels are put together.

I'd stay away from the Escalation missions, btw... A few are kinda interesting (and use parts of the map that otherwise don't have anything going for them) but they often become luck-based and kinda tedious.

I listened to the first five and thought, "Man I'm pretty sure these are all from Undertale."

Then I scrolled down the list of answers, listened to the songs from games that I've actually played (maybe 20% of them) and only recognized about a quarter of those, so.

Dark Souls 1 is the Dark Souls of the Soulsborne series

Got around to playing Sunless Sea. I like it muchly.

I'm still on my first dude, it's been around 10 hours, and I'm pretty well-equipped. I expected death to be more frequent: I've heard the game described on podcasts as a being very punishing, so either I'm good/lucky or they're wrong.

Or maybe I have self-control.

I've never heard of Shantae before. Googling the name got me a pretty dry Wikipedia page that doesn't say much, but also got me a bunch of images of a cartoon lady doing sexy poses.

Beat Sunless Sea. Real good.

Should my next character be a pragmatic but hedonistic smuggler or a disgraced priest who would probably be okay with cannibalism?

Yeah! Gonna pick "seek immortality" as this guy's ambition



Definitely a cannibal

Well since you asked, in my opinion T&A in games is pretty much always tasteless but at the same time, yeah, it's effective.

I hope devs stop throwing it in there so that I can finally stop flagellating myself for being mostly against it for moral reasons while also being into it for lonely heterosexual male reasons.

Does the rest of the world have Hawaiian pizza (pineapple and cooked ham) or is it just a Canadian thing? That's my suspicion

Jay Rust

I hope the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles didn't have cheese on their pizza. Turtles shouldn't eat dairy products.

There rarely is a happy medium with the game's length.

What games do you think are too short?

Star Citizen will have a hyper-immersive flight attending simulation, just wait for that.

I bounced off Witcher 3 too, I think ultimately because I chased after every side quest and most points of interest on the map. Next time I try it, I think I'll just stick to the main plot for the most part. Hopefully doing so doesn't cause you to be under-levelled.

Anyone try that recent Baldur's Gate expansion? Reading about it online is poisoned by the crazy amount of "SJWs!!! :derp:" comments

I'm going to be travelling for about a week next week, so I bought Final Fantasy 6 for my iPad. Is there anything dumb I should know before getting into it (e.g. "don't sell your starting equipment" or "name all your characters 'Sephiroth' for mega lols")

The iPad sprites seem pretty shoddy.
