Beautiful. That makes three of us.

Shadow: Origins

What about Bubsy?

Dang. I had no problems. X: New Broodmother is exceptionally annoying, as expected. Get soul ring, stand in trees, spam nuke until they have to leave, push tower. I had to keep telling my team, "Just ignore her. She'll go away." They kept trying to kill her in the trees, on the cliffs, etc., and that just wasn't gonna happen. We eventually won because she couldn't lay down webs fast enough to keep up with our push.

I saw this and wondered who the hell would have nostalgia for this game. It was not good.

She looks like a hex maniac, but she acts like a spooky spook, all creepy and stuff. There's one of those science buildings in (northern, I think) Lumiose city, the second floor is empty, and when you go there, she comes out of the elevator behind you, just kind of floating, not animating, saying something about "you're not the one" and then going back into the elevator. I think I saw her again in the big fancy hotel, in one of the rooms, just up against a wall, but that might have been a regular hex maniac just being a weird weirdo. EDIT: Ah, here. This girl.

Well, hello there... (Also, I figured out why my friend's audio is off to the side, and that's because OBS needed to be updated. I had an old version. Also, he can't stream and that makes me sad. So we're going to start recording on Fraps instead, and then merge it that way. Oh well.)

I haven't touched Pokemon-Amie and I have no intention of doing so unless I'm required to to get them to evolve or something. Also what's with the weird ghost girl that showed up a few times and then I never saw her again.

wat I just encountered a Moltres in a random low-level area while accidentally treading through some flowers, got really excited, and then immediately really sad when it fled before I could even take one turn. So I guess that happens.

What. Are they playing pro games on the test client? Or did they sneak the patch into the main client without me noticing? EDIT: LOOKS LIKE THE LATTER.

Nice. I want that to be a real secret room now, that's just unsolvable, and eventually the ghost kills you, sorry, that's life. So, no longer does anyone call me Stephen in my dreams. That stopped as soon as I recognized it and called it out, as expected. BUT. The other night, I had a series of very vivid LOTS OF THINGS CRAWLING ALL OVER ME episodes. One was mice, one was spiders, one was I think scorpions? I don't remember the contexts at all, except the last one. Weirdly enough, they didn't freak me out. In fact, one of them (the aforementioned "last one"), I'm pretty sure I was half-awake for. It was kind of similar to how people describe sleep paralysis me. I knew I was basically awake, but couldn't move, and also knew that a horde of tiny rodents was crawling all over me and through my clothes. But, unlike how my friends describe being freaked the fuck out, I was pretty calm, like, "huh, neat", because I knew for sure, 100%, that it wasn't real. Or maybe I wasn't awake and I just dreamed I was awake. Who knows! I did immediately go back to sleep.

I am pretty sure there was a sea creature in Myst, but I don't know about Riven? Also maybe I'm making that all up?

I had a friend who liked those books, but I have vague memories of me wanting to buy a Piers Anthony book once during one of my extremely frequent trips to the book store with my mom and her talking me out of it. I don't remember why. Dodged a bullet there, huh!

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Yeah, I did it a whole hell of a lot more as Bigby than I ever did as Lee. Letting a dude just stare and be intimidating works pretty well when he's the goddamn Big Bad Wolf.

In that she looks like a human being instead of an ungodly polygonal mess god THOSE EYES how terrifying. (The only thing weird about the new Chell is the apparent eyeshadow. That's weird. (Also I liked the messy hair from the original model. Shame.)) EDIT: Hah, she's actually http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/193/chellp1p2.jpg'>less curvy from the front. More curvy from the side. (That ass, etc.) She's wearing tighter clothes, though. I guess that makes her more curvaceous in some sense. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY SATURDAY MORNING COMPARING PORTAL CHELL MODELS I GOT SHIT TO DO. WE OUT.

yeah

Man I didn't really expect to get into this game at all. Thought I'd once again be driven off by how EXACTLY THE SAME it is to every previous game in the series. And, well, it still is mostly the same. They've just added a ton more junk to do (most of which I don't give a butt about). But I'm really enjoying it, nonetheless. Still think it's absolutely stupid they stuck with tiles, and movement is super awkward, no matter what you choose: feet, roller skates, or bike. Yuck. Also I will say that the game looks great. Shame it's such a low resolution. This style would be perfect for a, I dunno, reasonable resolution where I can't see every goddamn pixel. U:

I used to love coming home from a night of drinking to hop on my regular TF2 server and just have fun. But then they stopped playing that late at night. And now they just don't play. ):

I think the reason DS and Bat take a hit is because they're all about killing a ton of creeps at once - stacking, and using ion shell/firefly. Those others he mentioned focus more on taking out a single camp at a time. Since HP of the Big Creeps was nerfed WHILE XP overall was nerfed... Chen/Ench/NP/etc. probably end up leveling at about the same pace, given the slightly increased speed of kills, and a slightly decreased speed of XP gain, all while still gaining gold a bit faster (since big camps are easier to kill). Meanwhile, DS and Bat get less XP, same amount of gold. I hope that made sense. U:

I can totally agree with that. While I look forward to being able to play this game (once I have the necessary cheddar!), I feel like the tile-based structure of these kinds of games (Dwarf Fortress, Prison Architect, and now Spacebase DF-9) are very restrictive. If we're in goddamn space, man, I want to be able to ring like in Ringworld! Or, well, anything. We're in space! It's definitely disappointing that we can't go mad-crazy with the type of structure we're building. Not that I can blame developers for sticking with a tile-based system. It's definitely easier than giving full freedom, and it's definitely good to have restrictions, lest you let feature creep destroy your game. But yeah I definitely agree, brkl. Dang. I love space.

YES!

Dev plans list multi-level bases as a future goal. I don't know if that's exactly what you mean, but it'll add some depth to the game.

Viper's also getting what I think is a huge buff next patch. NO COOLDOWN on poison attack ever? PLEASE. He's already one of the strongest harassers. This just makes him absurd.

The TV show is a separate universe from the comics. A different take on the same story with some of the same characters. As far as I know, the game is the same universe as the comics. (Or, at least, that was the original intention?)
