The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
It's the month of March. This is a good month for video games.

New or Recent releases this month:
  • Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4)
  • Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U/Switch)
  • Nier: Automata (PS4/PC)
  • Mass Effect: Andromeda (Multi)

Also releasing this month is the Nintendo Switch. Expect this to take up all the the lions share of attention this month.

Zelda looks like lots of fun. I didn't see it mentioned but i'm happy the made the durability thing a little bit of use by making weapons do a higher damage critical hit on the attack they break. Seems like it at least gives you a reason to smash up guys with sticks and other junk until you find cool things later on.

After I play Horizon, Nier, and Persona 5, I think I will buy either a Wii U or Switch to play Zelda. Haven't decided yet

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

While I'm not interested in any of those games, I hope that they're really good and people enjoy them. :)

Things I am excited for this month:

- Sunless Skies Kickstarter
- Tangledeep Kickstarter whenever it launches
- Waiting a whole month for the Stellaris expansion to drop in April
- The humble monthly bundle, because I love buying games
- Actually playing more of the games I own!

Also for February's horrible malaise to leave so I can spend time being happy and write stories for friends and spend more nights being energetic instead of tired all of the time.

Was the Little Caesars a threat of what you'd give him if he didn't let you use his PS4?

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
Looking forward to playing Zelda whenever I can actually get it, because apparently a preorder doesn't mean you get the game any more.

I finally finished Witcher 3 after almost 2 years of playing on and off. It was pretty good overall but I didn't like any of the main quest involving Ciri in the slightest. All the side quests were pretty fantastic and basically the main thing keeping it interesting.

In terms of main story and characters I still like Witcher 2 way, way better. It's just a much tighter and far more interesting package. Hell, I even like Witcher 1's story better.



This month I hope to finally play Total Warhammer now that I actually have room on my SSD to put it. Dunno which race to try first, my Dark Omen sense is telling me I need to play whichever race gets to drop meteors on peoples heads though.

Stellaris 1.5 looks like it's full of really good stuff but also sounds like they aren't addressing ship combat/design or ground troops yet. So maybe I'll just keep it on the shelf until then.

As I understand it, the devs are looking to fix that stuff, but yeah, not in this update. Up to you if you want to play the new update when it hits.

Hope the procedure goes well. I'm gonna be in hospital for a day at the end of March to get me thyroid ripped out, then off work for a week

I kinda hope I can get my hands on a Switch before then so I have something to do in hospital when I don't want to sleep

Yeah IIRC they said that's the focus of the next big patch and expansion. All the new content looks great so I'm really looking forward to however they manage to clean up the combat systems and related things.

Probably just gonna wait and play XCom2 and Warhams in the mean time though. Thank you Humble Monthly, for doing bad things to my backlog.

It's something in The Witness.

I couldn't do it. I need to be at peak mental acuity so doing it after eating a burrito and a half is basically doomed from the start. Also my phone battery died so I couldn't take screenshots anymore.

I also realized what the Challenge reminds me of, it reminds me of Legends of the Hidden Temple, and I can't put that stupid monkey together

Did you play either of the DLC expansions? Hearts of Stone is pretty fantastic.

I mentioned it in the last thread just before it closed, but I finished Wolfenstein: The Old Blood yesterday. Goddamn was that a bleak ending.

I hung out with a friend tonight, we played Night in the Woods for about two hours. At first it was a depressive-neurotic-small town-USA sim and that was good, then somewhere along the way it also became an edgy-teen sim (despite the characters being young adults) and I started to feel sleepy. It was also around two a.m. by then, so maybe it's that. I dunno, I'm not jazzed enough about it to buy the game myself.

It's hard to accept that the player character is a young adult when she's like half the height as anyone else. If that's due to some medical condition she has, it doesn't get mentioned in the game.

Aren't they all animal-people? Maybe she's just a small animal-person. I don't know, I haven't played it myself. It looks neat in the same way that the Over the Garden Wall tv show was. Sorta weird, sorta silly, sorta creepy, sorta fun.
