  1. He didn't half ass anything. He was sweet as candy, and friendly as hell. He talked in his natural voice and Arthur's voice. He gave me tips on voice acting ( @Rain Dew requested that) and he was just amazing as can be. I doubt you could request a redo of the cameo. That just doesn't sound legit. People would be requesting cameos just to get as many as they could for free. But Roger Clark is just amazing. He talked to me for over 4 minutes. To which even he was surprised that he talked to me that long.
  2. I've had Blasphemous on my Switch for quite a while now. It's a great game. A total blast to play. I would highly recommend it to everyone.
  3. Missouri's biggest weather worries are tornadoes and floods. We deal with them every year. Although we haven't had any statewide floods like we did in 1993, and we haven't had any F5's since 2011 when that one hit Joplin, we still have to put up with that shit. I live on a street that ends in a cul-de-sac and I'm just glad that I live on the top of the hill. Those are the natural weather problems. We also have to deal with robberies, and just random gun violence. Hearing gunshots around here is an almost daily occurrence. It gets old, but I'm ready.
  4. I was going to add Frogger, but for some reason decided not to. It opened us up to obstacle games. Dig Dug is a game that I wouldn't say really led to any specific genre (despite being iconic), but its mechanics and game play design have been featured in a number of games. The most notable one that I can think of at the moment is SMB2.
  5. What the hell is a sandbox game? I'm assuming it's not a game where you're playing a kid with a diaper rash and sand in their ass?
  6. Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Mario Bros are some of the most impactful games. They led the way into games as we know them today. DK gave us Mario Bros. Mario Bros gave us SMB. Pac-Man gave us top down views instead of side scrolling views. There's also Galaga which paved the way for space shooters. Q*Bert helped open the world of puzzle games. A lot of my favorites, and a lot of gateway games.
  7. Of the games I've played, I would say FF8. The opening sequence takes forever.
  8. I love horror games. Especially psychological horror. Layers Of Fear: Legacy is one of the best I have ever played. Outlast is another series that is great too. Remothered: broken Porcelain is another good one. The Child's Sight is another one, but it's not for anyone who is easily frightened.
  9. While the trailer was still playing, I was in the Nintendo eShop putting it in my wish list. This game reminds me so much of a longtime favorite it's uncanny. It is just like Castlevania SOTN. I honestly cant see a lot of differences. It has to have been modeled after the game. Or at least been the inspiration for the game.
  10. Bill Gates actually had to pay to bail out Apple, or he would have had a monopoly on the computer market. He makes PC's and Apple makes their own version of a computing system. If they had gone under without him bailing them out, he would have had that monopoly. But hopefully Sony will get that acquisition of EA, assuming it's an actual thing in the works that wouldn't bankrupt them in the end. It would at least stop Microsoft from owning everything. But I have another question. Where does all this leave Nintendo? They're not buying up any studios as far as I'm aware. If all the studios get bought up, Nintendo is going to have a very limited game catalogue.
  11. You don't need to really be a coder. Just take one of those mini consoles that have been all the rage. Rewire the controllers to a joystick and buttons, hook it up to a TV you have mounted on the box, and you have an arcade cabinet.
  12. Caveat - 6/10 La Llorona (Shudder exclusive) - 7/10
  13. He was reburied in October 1875, with not only a tombstone, but a full on monument to him. Also an interesting note is that, for more than 50 years, every January 19th (Poe's birthday) a man dressed in black and fedora has left 3 red roses and a bottle of cognac on Poe's grave.
  14. He was found in Baltimore, the victim of an apparent beating or robbery, laying in the gutter babbling incoherently. His friend Joseph Snodgrass and taken to the Washington College hospital. He spent the next several days in a state of delirium, calling for an unknown man named "Reynolds". On the day he died, ha finally seemed to rest a little bit before his last words. He died almost immediately after saying "Lord, help my poor soul."
  15. There's also a board game, which is literally just a physical version of Plague Inc. There's another one called Pandemic. I haven't played either one, but they hit the market after the pandemic hit. As board games anyway. I don't know anything about the video game aspect of Pandemic. I don't know if it's also a video game or not.
  16. What are you talking about? How would Edgar Allen Poe have been involved in a voter fraud scheme? He didn't partake in politics.
  17. I wouldn't be anywhere near it either if it wasn't for the fact that EVERYTHING is on FB instead of having their own damn website. No one has websites anymore. It's all FB and Twitter. So for a few things that I'm involved with, I have to have a FB account. It's nothing more than a throwaway account, but it allows me access.
  18. I don't know your living situation, but if you have some sort of guest room, you could turn it into a man cave instead. You are a guy right? Or if you have a spacious living room (not sure what Europeans call it) you could possibly put some in there if you move a few things around. Again I'm making uneducated ideas. If you're in an apartment, then unless you're on the ground floor, I don't see you being able to get them up to your apartment without a hell of a lot of help unless your apartment building has an elevator. I've lived in a few apartments, so I know how much of a bitch it can be to get shit in there. personally, I would want to buy one that was a bit run down and either not working well, or not working at all, so I could repair it myself. That would be a great project for me. But right now, I'm fixing up and reselling bicycles, and doing a lot of weaving, so my plate is pretty full. Either way, good luck with your purchases.
  19. The only thing that bugged me about it was Jason's attire. In all the movies I had never seen him in a purple jumpsuit and a teal mask.
  20. I grew up with linear games. I started out with 2 bit graphics, then got a jump all the way up to 8 bit, then 16, 64, and now I don't know what to call it except life like. I remember being mad as hell at SMB because you couldn't backtrack in a stage. You could only go forward. So if you missed something or went just a hair too far, you were screwed. Which left you with only two choices. Either die, or say "screw it" and continue on with the game. But while the game drove me nuts with that, I still remember it fondly. And I still play it today when I hook my NES up. At the moment my SNES is the one that's hooked up, but I'm planning on switching that one out pretty soon. Well, as soon as I can decide what system I want out next. NES, N64, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600. A hell of a hard decision.
  21. These days ever since the N64, every controller has analog sticks used more so than D-Pad usage. And those, once worn out, usually have to be replaced, depending on how worn out they are. Which often times means taking parts from another controller. The hardest controller I've ever worked on thus far is the PS4 controller. With that (not sure what it's actually called) big button in the controller, I have to be extremely careful and go extremely slow to make sure I don't fuck up the connections to it. That button is just a major pain in the ass to work around. The pic below shows the button I'm referencing. Other than the PS4, controllers are so simple to fix, a toddler could do it.
  22. He moves and runs like Inspector Gadget. But I have to admit, I've never seen a keyboard that doubled as a firearm and boomerang before. The only ones that worked as a boomerang are the ones that were thrown back at me.
  23. They only have 2 options in this case, from a legal stand point. They can either honor the contracts already in place and let the games be released on multiple platforms. Or they can try to buy Sony out of the contract. But considering the monetary value, I don't see Sony being willing to let them buy them out. The capital that the sales would create is more than Microsoft could afford, as they would have to try to match that, or Sony could sue them for lost/stolen profits. At least they could in some courts. The laws here in the states change from zip code to zip code so much, that I just can't keep up with it.
