I've been the weenie who's stuck to games, the LP forum, and flirted around some of the other specialty subforums like the Book Barn and such. GBS pre-2008 or so was a pretty cool place that had a lot of fun and memorable threads. It went on a decline but stayed pretty good until the dark and gritty GBS reboot 3-4 years ago, and it's been mostly unreadable poo poo ever since. I don't even bother checking it anymore these days.

Looks like I missed gamerpet sharing time but gently caress it, this is Nessie and she enjoys the Nintendo 2DS Handheld Gaming System Grapplejack posted:I loved the aesthetic that comix zone went for, it was great. It's too bad Comix Zone was terrible as an actual game. The Colonel posted:i played this game years ago and all i remember from it is a whole lot of sex jokes Comic Jumper was such a bizarrely half-baked game, like it could have been good and they nailed the aesthetic of the different comic styles, but then they forgot to work on the game. Like half the upgrades you get in the game that are supposed to make your attacks stronger literally do nothing, it's so loving weird. Shame that Twisted Pixel peaked with Splosion Man. If you want a game that matches Comix Zone in terms of "a brawler where you smash through comic panels that isn't a very good game" though, then Unbound Saga is a closer match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytb1wK838TU raditts fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Apr 8, 2017 |

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I bought Total Warhammer for $12 and then The Witness for $12 and feel like things worked out pretty well. I think I might get Inside for $12 I got a Humble Monthly a couple months ago because the featured game was Xcom 2 and I had a discount from buying a humble bundle, and it turned out that one also had Steamworld Heist so those made it worthwhile to me for  The next couple also featured games I wanted, but the April one looks like all garbage besides The Witness so I'll probably hop off that train unless next month features something really good. So overall I wouldn't lump Humble Monthly with most of these garbage packages since it's really more like "pay $12 for this one game if you want, and you might get some other stuff you like too" ... although I'm sure the idea is indeed that you sign up for something you like and forget to unsubscribe. But that's hardly unique to the "mystery box" phenomenon, that's like every product that offers a trial of some sort going back for several decades. precision posted:1 second on YouTube: I want to say we've reached the peak of Capitalism Mountain here, but there is always higher to climb, I'm sure. raditts fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Apr 8, 2017 |

I will admit that I was tempted to order Bitsbox for my kids since they're interested in learning programming and that 3D remake of Zelda 1 they put up online before Nintendo smacked it down was a hell of an advertisement. Not tempting enough to spend $20 a month on though.Dr Cheeto posted:LEGO blind boxes would own bones and I'm sorry they don't exist As if Lego hadn't gotten in on that racket years ago, they sell blind bags containing a random minifigure from a set group at pretty much any store that sells lego stuff.

Harrow posted:I expect it was specifically to shake off that last part. Nintendo has made some moves to try to broaden their library beyond specifically family-friendly games. I think they've gone a bit further on handheld than on console (see: SMT4/Apocalypse), but Wii U has things like Bayonetta 2 and (possibly to a lesser extent) Xenoblade X that aren't child-friendly games. They also wanted to try to appeal to "core gamers" with the Wii U, if I remember correctly. The "family friendly" Nintendo image only ever applied to Nintendo of America anyway, didn't it? Back in the NES / SNES days they were infamous for bowdlerizing games for US release, removing blood and naughty language and all that, and even up to today when weeaboos rage about how characters are changed to dress more modestly or can't date their siblings or whatever.

Harrow posted:I think it was more NoA at first, but like others pointed out, the Wii era definitely went for family friendliness in all regions. Nintendo basically leaned into it. Their western pre-release marketing for the Wii U seemed to insist that it would be a system for "core gamers" as well as families, which would explain the smattering of third party titles not aimed at kids/families like Bayonetta 2 or Xenoblade X. Their first party titles are always family-friendly though. Fair enough, admittedly I can't really think of any games on the Wii that are not kid-friendly. Sakurazuka posted:The Famicom literally stands for family computer.... Golgo-13 and its sequel, games where you're a sniper who assassinates high profile targets and bangs ladies in every city you travel to: fun for the whole family on the Family Computer Oddly, also managed to make it to the US with seemingly none of that censored, although I've never seen the Japanese versions for comparison. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Apr 13, 2017 |

FirstAidKite posted:The game's ending is weird though. It ends with you beating the final boss and him talking about how he's sorry and that it's just that he was jealous that you don't play with him or the other old toys anymore and that he just wants you to remember your old toys, to never forget them when you get older. Then you play a final mission where you're flying a toy commercial airliner around the room you were fighting the final boss in. You land the plane to pick up some passengers, then when you take off the game cuts to a scene of the plane flying off towards some models of mountains and then it reveals the whole game has actually been the dream of a plane pilot who fell asleep at the cockpit and is about to crash the plane into some mountains, Hahaha, what the gently caress? Talk about your "you die in the game, you die in real life" situations.

Harrow posted:It was the least exciting of the console generations during which I was actually playing games, I guess. I suppose I can't really compare it to pre-NES stuff because I wasn't playing games yet so I don't really have any experience there. This is ridculous, the PS3/360 generation is when online multiplayer and digital downloads became mainstream on consoles, and when indie / smaller developers were able to break into the console space. (I don't know that the Wii can rightly be counted in this though, because Nintendo was/is so hilariously far behind in online implementation.) If you can't think of like a dozen games just offhand that you enjoyed and you owned at least one of those consoles then there's something wrong with you.

FirstAidKite posted:I live above a pool store and the person operating the pool store was running a generator down there and when they closed up the store, they left the generator on and the generator says not to operate indoors or else because it emits carbon monoxide and can kill in minutes if left running in an enclosed space. Had to open up the windows and ventilate the apartment and go downstairs and pull open their garage door in order to shut off the generator. You should probably move as soon as you can. Having a neighbor whose ignorance can literally kill you does not sound like a good time. Don't die, dude.

Dr Cheeto posted:Ben McCurry, the freelancer who wrote a scathing takedown of Brash Games within his Pacman 256 review has a piece up on Jim Sterling's website about just how terrible Brash Games and Paul Ryan are. The most baffling part of this to me is why they were having him do a review of a game that has been out for like 2 years. Even the Steam version has been out almost a year. Lurdiak posted:It is not. Oh. Well, I'd probably wait for a steam sale or something. Lego games usually go on sale for $5-10 about 6-12 months after release, and I think there was a deal on Bundlestars or something a couple months back where you could get any 3 of them for $10. If you can't wait that long then I guess $15 is decent.

Quest For Glory II posted:we bare bears is a cute show i recommend it It's cute and it's not bad, but it's pretty boring imo, at least from the first season or so of episodes I watched, which CN aired 50 billion times a day until I never wanted to watch the show again. I don't know if it's changed since then but it was basically "cartoon about millennial teenagers, but they look like bears and they live in a tree" and didn't really aspire to a lot more than that. Which I guess is okay if that's the kind of thing that entertains you, but I've felt no desire to ever go back to it and give it another try.
