it's funny how this flappy bird game has seemingly randomly taken off. I had a "default gravity, user input = up" game on my 2001-era palm pilot, but it worked by smoothly changing acceleration instead of the jerky ups of flappy dick. I played it in class, and it inspired me to do my big impossible graphics cs course final project on such a game, only it was a 3d tunnel game textured with shit I pulled from quake3. and your ship had a sweet shield to start that would like gently bounce you off the edge.
oh I found a super fancy version of sfcave on youtube. mine was black & white

I'm curious to see what that could possibly develop into because as it stands, I can't imagine the actual point of millions of users trying to control the same avatar in a fairly linear JRPG game other than the novelty factor.
A Pokemon MMORPG, on the other hand........
That would be awesome.Quote:

I'm not sure what game he plays on the x-box but whatever it is there seems to be alot of hand grenades involved. Now with the airgun I get a bit of a break. (I rented an apt. directly below mine). Maybe I should be asking about good headphones for gaming?
Ok. What would you suggest for a good set of headphones for gaming? They don't need to be the best of the best or anything but at the the same time I'd like him to be excited about them.
tks for your help guys. I have zero clue with this stuff. (last game I played was Nintendo hockey back in 1988 - - I think it'd just come out at the time).
I've played a lot of dota last year. I seem to have hit my skill cap and I'm not sure how to crawl out of it, so I switched back to sc2. I think it's a really great game with a lot of depth, but it's no longer fun for me at the level I'm at. I'm stuck at 2.5k rating. In sc2 it took me three days to get back to masters after a one year break. I don't know what makes me so bad at dota. I guess I'm not much of a team player.Quote:

You get to pick a bunch of skill trees including:!

Mathemagics!
Killer Vegan!
I still haven't beaten it and I'm like 60 hours in. It's easy to play a bit and come back to; it's complicated; and it's cooky.
Plus, it'll be on sale for like 4 bucks total come the next steam sale, so keep your eyes peeled.
Rilla, ever played Kerbal Space Program? I just got into it.
No, but I took a bunch of spacecraft dynamics and controls classes, so I imagine I'd be good at it.
edit: to translate from dickish: nah, I bought it though.
all my mmo friends say wildstar is confirmed legit.
Battlefield 3 and plants vs zombies for free, last day today
https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/f...s/on-the-house
Is Zombies and Plants worth checking out?
I enjoyed it anyways (until I completed it and moved on)Quote:

Braid was on sale the other day for $2.99 so I bought it. Really fun so far. It's a 2d platformer (i.e. Mario) that introduces time manipulation as the main mechanic besides jumping on things. Each world has a different twist. For example, one world everything moves forward and backwards similar to your movements. Another is when you reverse time, a shadow clone of yourself re-executes your move in the future. For example: If you jump to a platform and enable a switch, you can then reverse time back to when you were standing by the door the switch opens, and your shadow clone will then run and execute the switch. Lots of problem solving in this game.

Looks pretty cool. I might pick that up if it's on sale.
The guys that made limbo introduced their new game at E3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op4G1--kb-g
I'm super hyped about that.
Yeah. One of my favorite announcements out of E3. Looking forward to that. Limbo was great.
Kerbal Space Program is one of the most frustrating yet beautiful games ever. When your mission comes together, you planned the right amount of fuel, and you don't do anything stupid, you get backdrops like this....my kerbal is contemplating life from the Mun as he looks at home planet Kerbin and the Sun

My most recent game is Dark Souls II. Although the game has more areas than its predecessor, I enjoyed the former much more.
My PvP is baaaaad (winrate ~15%) so I focus mainly on PvE experience and Co-Op as a Sunbro. I know I need to 'git gud' but don't have the focus for seriously competing against others who have practiced so much more.
My current progress is NG++ at Level 212.
Favorite Levels: Lost Bastille, Forest of Fallen Giants, Iron Keep
Least Favorite Levels: Shaded Woods ("I'm hungry" gets old REALLY quick), Shrine of Amana, Huntsman's Copse
Steam summer sale is here. Gonna try and be good this year, you're not going to get all my money this time steam! No way, not a ch.. ooh, 80% off the Witcher 2, bargain!
I bought Toejam and Earl. 2.50 for the original Sega roguelike.
So far I've bought the trine pack, organge box (already have portal but wanted to replay hl2 and episodes), don't starve reign of giants dlc, dmc: devil may cry, and I think that's it...maybe
I also bought Monaco. It's supposed to be a fun, simple heart co op game. Get it and we can play together. It was like $3
I haven't been gaming pretty much at all for a while now, but this looks really cool. Reminds me of ICO, which if you haven't played, you definitely should.Quote:

^^ That a million times. I am so disappointed with modern shooters. HL had great mechanics. I have recently played a little bit of the new wolfenstein and Farcry Blood Dragon based on recommendations and, ok I get it you're tongue in cheek about it, but that doesn't mean you're not doing exactly the same thing you're making fun of. Movement feels like you're swimming through jelly and if you don't want to play it exactly like the game wants you to, you simply can't.
I'm not too sour about it since I'm not much of a shooter guy anyway, but I don't think arena shooters have improved since Quake and there hasn't been a better single player than half life since half life.
I don't even have high hopes for Evolve. They couldn't even fix l4d with a matchmaking system.
At least there's innovation elsewhere. Hotline Miami is glorious. Paper's Please is awesome and unique. And of course Dota2 is the best game ever made. These are good times after all.
Ah... Half Life 2! That indeed was a suspense-packed game. Ravenholm was awesome.
Battleblock theater is on sale for $3.50 on steam. Would someone else get it so play some co-op with me?
The trailer itself makes this worth the purchase:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6_By98v638
Battleblock Theater is fucking hilarious and fun. The opening scene had me laughing my ass off and the game is simple 2d platformer/mario fun.
Opening scene:

If anyone wants to add me on steam (or psn, or xbox) just pm me. Bigred I've pm'd you my steam ID (just picked up BBT and castle crashers) but I suspect my crazy schedule plus timezones will limit our chances for co-opQuote:

Got worms revolution with a couple of friends. I logged about 3 hours over the weekend, they played more like 15. It's 4 players max and I'm not sure I prefer this version over Worms Armageddon. Gameplay seems more sluggish, but the worms are cuter. It's still a great game.
I played battle block theater for a bit. I can already tell imma love it.
I mean...it's a clever platformer with really funny/stupid humor narration. "Don't lose hope, I know I did!" is one of my favorites when you start a map.Quote:

I got it with the good sales! I'm better than you!Quote:

Bioshock 1, 2 and infinite bundle is 83% off right now, has anyone played them and is it worth getting?
I thought Bioshock 1 was a great game back when I played it. No idea how it holds up now. I played Bioshock 2 for about 30 minutes and got bored with it and Bioshock Infinite is a solid game.Quote:

I pure impulse-bought Next Car Game for two reasons:
- Badass working title
- Game Studio that made Flatout 1&2
At the current stage it truly is just a tech demo but this is one crowdfunded game that I really want to see happen. I want a map editor that plays like garry's mod for cars. At this point it already has the best damage models and the most satisfying driving physics I've experienced since Flatout.
Not something I would recommend buying now, but certainly something to watch out for.

Bioshock 1 is a classic.
I see Braid is on Summer Sale for $5. That's awfully tempting, and worse case scenario, I blow a fiver. Downside of that decision is that I don't much play video games (even this Wind Waker game I got is rotting and I friggin' love Zelda).
Heroes of Might and Magic III is an incredible game. My cousins owned it when I went to visit them for a summer in Chicago and I barely went outside because of it. I had no idea it was some famously incredible game or anything until I randomly 15 years later was like, "What the hell was the name of that game that I got so addicted to? Swords and Mages or some shit? I wonder if I could find it on the cheap on ebay?" That's when I found out it was a cult classic.
Apparently the Steam version is Windows only. There's a ported version available in the Mac App Store, but 1) I'm not sure if it'll be a seamless carry-over from Steam (though it has 295/337 5 stars; the 1-star reviews are very laughable) and 2) I don't think it's on sale; it says it's 50% off for St Patty's Day, buuuut that was kinda a while ago.
Yeah, one of the best unknown games out there. Everything just works well (except the Town Portal spell, which is a game breaker later on). Other than that, extremely balanced, awesome soundtrack and effects, perfect graphics for a 1997 turn-based strategy game and enough strategy to make it highly interesting without scaring off casual players.Quote:

I picked up the Trine package (1 and 2) at the beginning of the steam sale. Haven't played 2 yet but 1 is ok. I like the idea of 3 different characters switching off but some of the gameplay is a little off. A few examples include delayed smashing of faces with my sword, missed smashing of faces with my sword, etc. Just seems like a little input lag.
How is 2?
Only had a very brief run at it so far. Seems just like the first one tbh but I've not played much of either.Quote:
