The Blackangel

I've never played any of those, but I'm sure there are a fairly large amount of people who judge in ignorance just from the cover or a YouTube video. To be completely transparent, I don't even know what kind of game the Half-Life series is. Until this thread I hadn't heard of it.

I was really disappointed with that entry into the GoW franchise. It just didn't meet the hype it had gotten IMO. Also I hated FF7. The game mechanics were shit, and the story line just sucked. Until the release of FF13, it was the worst FF game in the entire franchise IMO.

I met a kid at a concert one time about 20 years ago who used Elmers glue to put his hair into a bunch of short spikes. I never would have thought of that method, but then again, I care about my hair.

I get drunk in RDR2 to get my stamina to level up. I'm not joking. 4 shots of Pirate Rum, and your stamina level goes up. You're shitfaced to no end, even if you have the wolf heart trinket. But in the long run, it's worth it.

Maybe some of the true classics like Pac-Man, or Frogger? Possibly a Mario game? To be honest I have never heard anyone say Pac-Man was a terrible game, but then again, I'm probably the first person most of you have met that says tetris is the worst game ever made.

Damnit, what moronic challenge did I miss this time?

If you really want to trip balls, wait for a night when it's storming like crazy. Turn off all the lights, and I mean everything. Then go to your room or somewhere else that will be getting no light except for the occasional lightning strike. Put in your earbuds, as they're typically more noise canceling than headphones, and play the game. No one else around. It may not sound like much to those that have never played a Layers Of Fear game, but those of us that have will know just how terrifying that can be. Especially to those with a fear of the unknown, the dark, or isolation. In all seriousness, after doing this you will literally never be the same again.

Picked it up today at Walmart. They had 6 more in the case. I could have gotten them all if I had wanted to, but I think my point is made. Had I gotten them all, I would have given them out to the few people in my life that matter. It does look like a lot of fun though. I always loved Mario 64. Never played Sunshine. Barely touched Galaxy 2. Never played the first one though.

Ditto.

Nostalgia mostly would block me from a remake. Curiosity would bring me to a remake. With FF8, they did a great job, and in my opinion improved the game. With Links Awakening, I was sickened by it. Sure I play it because since getting my Switch, I forget to bring my GameBoy all the time. But it was a remake that never should have happened. That was a nostalgia and curiosity mix. I rarely touch it, mainly because I just can't bring myself to. But with 90-something DDL's on my Switch and around 25 cartridges, I have no shortage of game options. I also have BOTW, but it's having a hell of a time keeping my interest.

In the remake of FF8 you have 3 cheats that you can enable any time. Invincibility, 3X speed, and blocking all encounters. I like the 3X speed and use it all the time. I enable the invincibility if I plan on leaving the game on overnight to farm items. Blocking encounters is nice if I'm trying to do a side quest. And since I don't have to worry about Diablos to have it, it also saves me a bonus slot on the character he is junctioned to. Which for me is always Squall.

FF8 had the best remake. I love it. The graphics are more crisp, the 3X speed option, and the rare items that were previously only available through a Pocket Station are now available in game. Also, not having to wait for Diablos to learn enc-none is a nice touch. The one remake that I almost can't stand is Links Awakening. It's so much of a better game on the GameBoy. Sure it's good on the Switch, but it should have stayed where it was.

This sounds false memories and/or the Mandela Effect.

I've done it several times in RDR2. At completely random times, people in camp will have a tip to rob a stagecoach, or rob a bank or something, but I ignore it because I'm more interested in something else.

It's in RDR2, but that's all I'm saying. I don't want to give any specific spoilers since I know a lot of people here haven't played it yet, and we all despise spoilers. I also know we're not too fond of those that shout out spoilers. I'm already not all that well thought of here, so I figure just let it be. I have enough enemies, and I neither need nor have room for more. So to put it simply, have a box of tissues ready when you play RDR2, because you will cry.

I started an RDR2 game a while back, and my entire goal was to rack up as much bounty as I could. I just killed everyone I saw, robbed every store, looted every house, I was just evil as hell. And in another one I tried to be as much of an angel as the game would let me. The outcomes and paths the game takes you down between the two personality differences are so far apart that black and white don’t even compare in difference. It was really amazing to see.

Yeah but some are intentionally corny. I mean look at MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. A lot of their songs were so corny, the only thing left to the listener was to wonder who's garden they picked them from.

I do the same thing a lot. Some games just get boring after a while, no matter how much you love it, if you stick to the path they have laid out for the main story. So I go off and do dishonorable and irrational things just to mix it up. I gotta say it adds a bit of excitement. Until there's something you need to to in that area and you can't get to it because the bounty hunters literally don't stop coming and you run out of ammo killing them. If you don't have a lightning fast horse, you can't get away either. As for what was on the list, the only one I was familiar with was Wirt. But the narrator got it a bit wrong. Sure he's a greedy little prick, but he charges 100 gold to look, not 50. Unless I got a different copy.

Yeah, but if you stand them on end, then you don't have to spend the extra money to buy a cooling pad. Also, in my personal experience, those things don't always do the job and end up adding more heat than they dispel.

Why am I not surprised by this? I would bet that they're making this story up, in order to boost their sales. They don't care about us as long as we buy their shit. Scalpers start buying everything, and we have to add an extra digit to the sale price for the damn thing if we really want one. The Walmart's here all have a full stock, and many different colors for the Switch Lite. I bought one online this year as a birthday present for my girl. It's not hard to do that instead of giving in to the scalpers. Sure it will take longer to get the machine, but at least you can tell the scalper to fuck off, and leave them with a bunch of unmovable product.

This isn't really a skill, but more a universal ability. I wish I could walk.

What is something that drives you absolutely insane about your favorite game? I mean something that just pisses you off? For me it's the drifting in RDR2. The damn horses are always drifting to the right or left instead of going forward like I tell them to do. I can't fucking stand it. It has gotten me killed more than once. I'm trying to ride my horse and it start's drifting to the left, and the next thing you know, I'm in a god damn O'Driscoll camp and get killed before I can even draw a god damn gun. I know it's not my controller, because I just got a brand new one. I wanted the glacier white controller. It's Sony brand, and this also happened with the controller that came with the system. I just want to strangle whatever is causing this shit, but I'm not technologically informed enough to know which part I'm looking for. But then again a bullet to the head might make the machine sweat enough to agree to cut the shit. Or I could offer it a laxative that is about 9mm across. That would give a very interesting, and whole new meaning to the term "Blow it out your ass!"

I think it's a lot of the stunts that would be science fiction, and people surviving a lot of it. Also, the Sci-Fi channel isn't strictly limited to stereotypical science fiction. They show all sorts of stuff. Including documentaries.
