  1. Nintendo 3DS

    I had to use a guide to play Majora's Mask and It's still my favorite and also the best Zelda. I think that the backlash against the backlash of the initial backlash is weird. The game was generally not compared favorably to OoT at the time which I think most people still consider to be the best of the series. So MM developed a cult following when more and more people played it with maybe lowered expectations and found out it's actually a weird and cool game. Wind Waker is also good. Can anyone recommend a cheap eshop game? I have around five nintendo bux on my account and I don't know what to get. I'd ideally like to get something puzzle-y or arcadey with a lot of mindless replay value.
  2. To clarify I think the art looks nice. Its clean and bright, which is rad. I just don't get the Pixar comparison.
  3. Still not getting Pixar from that. Its far too bland. Maybe older DreamWorks before they started making alright movies? Mostly its just cartoony cg people to me. I also just remembered how much I dislike blizzard's humor so I'm pulling for this to not have that.
  4. Not getting the comparison to Pixar at all but this does look kinda neat. I will try it. Also, funny how valve makes Dota and then blizz decides to try out an fps. The world's gone MAD.
  5. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    For real, don't make cancer jokes. That shit is awful.
  6. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Its especially weird because these gf dudes are arguing with people who are VERY engaged in radical politics and the contrast between the. Is just fucking staggering. It really highlights just how dumb this whole thing is.
  7. Titanfall

    I'd be willing to fill in a coop team or play competitive with some thumbs. Feel free to hit me up on steam or the irc channel with nick Douchetoevsky if you see me online/idling.
  8. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    He is so infuriating. Its his own fault for being a public personality and giving a face to gamergate. I mean he was already irritating and a joke, but come on dude. You're a grown ass man. Quit being an idiot. Also, gg bullshit finally reared its head on my fbook feed when a very political, non gaming friend made a post about how stupid and transparently shitty it was. It was overrun with the pro gg clown car and it is so goddamn embarrassing.
  9. Designer Notes 1: Rob Pardo - Part 1

    Oof, just realized this was only the first part of the discussion. I was so damn confused when it just ended after that jazz break.
  10. Titanfall

    Is it just me or do the DLC playlists in the PC version not have anyone playing on them ever? it would be cool if they just said fuck it, we'll give them to everyone and then give people who bought them some elite skin or something. No way in hell am I going to spend ten to twenty five bucks on some maps that literally two people are playing at any given time. It's such a shame that they fucked up so hard with this game because I do really enjoy it. Just so much they did wrong, yeesh.
  11. The X Files Rewatch Podcast

    That's a much larger project than a twin peaks podcast by a few hundred hours. I just started watching the x-files for the first time though, so I vote yes. Perhaps we ought to just make a thread for talking about them in order though.
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    Watched You're Next again on Halloween and it held up really well to a repeat viewing. Home invasion horror movie that plays with expectations in fun ways and has some hilarious familial bickering. Works great with a crowd, too.
  13. Evolve

    I'm feeling mixed on it as well. The mechanics are pretty fun, but it generally feels one sided in each game, even though the wonrates seem pretty balanced. The match length being pretty short is great, BUT coupled with the long load times/time between rounds it's a huge drag to spend so much time not playing.
  14. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Saw h This on twitter and the first response was like "yeah, cause people had a problem with naked women in art in the past :smug: give me davinci and frazetti any day!" Those were the actual two examples he gave. He then went on to call out Duchamp as not a real artist, though not by name just by saying how urinals aren't art. Dating an art history nerd that kind of shit drives me fucking batty, even though this guy was clearly just trying to seem intellectual. It's all very douche-chill enducing.
  15. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    I went as Baseball Bat Man from The Raid 2. SO was Hammer Girl. It was rad.
  16. Evolve

    Thanks for pointing this out, now my buddy who wanted to try is downloading and we can play it together. FRIENDSHIP.
  17. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    oh my god those dudes jerking each other off about how women who hate them really actually want to bone them need to be shot into the fucking sun. Jesus christ, they are like a bunch of Patrick Bateman alt accounts.
  18. Evolve

    I got into the PC alpha too. Probably will be playing Saturday morning and then Sunday. Feel free to hit me up on steam for some human teamwork. I'm really really excited to try the monster though.
  19. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

    What does the demo have in it? Haven't played a Pokemon since pearl and I haven't finished one since red. Does it let you play through the first gym or what? Can't decide whether I want to try it out or give my code to my Pokemon lovin friend.
  20. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Wait TB is still pro-gg? I don't know why that surprises me at all... It seems like it's been made abundantly clear over and over again that it's merely the death throes of a shitty awful culture.
  21. A Dota Engagement

    Grats fellow Louisville thumb(s?)!
  22. Non-video games

    I'm thinking of picking up a new game for my birthday this Friday and its looking like I'll finally be adding Carcassonne to my collection. Should I be on with just the base game or is there an essential expansion I oughta pick up with it?
  23. Recently completed video games

    Finally went back and finished up Sleeping Dogs last night, after watching Patricia and Danielle stream the new version the other day. The ending was reaaaaalllly dumb. Game is still really good though, well worth picking up next time it's on sale on steam. It really feels like a game that could have benefited either from more time in development or, preferably, just cutting some half baked plotlines.
