Looking at Sam Neill crawling down the ladder, I wonder if Event Horizon inspired the Muramite legion in Everquest. Sam Neill looks a lot like an Ukun there. I think the Kyv (archers) were inspired by Reavers from Firefly. But yeah, I think the other Muramite designs probably got something from...

Yeah, for me it didn't even matter if the PS5 lineup was lacking, I still bought one at launch just to enhance all the existing PS4 games I had. Like a PS4 Pro on 'roids. Demon's Souls Remake was just a bonus. Speaking of which, where the hell is Bloodborne PS5 60 FPS remaster? I'm legit...

Yeah, literally every game takes me longer than HLTB says it will. I don't take it as gospel so much as a "rough estimate" of the general time range I might be looking at. It's also good for issuing point scores in a contest like this. I'm looking at Skyward Sword and how it says 30 hours for...

I beat Double Dragon 4, which is another half point. "40 minutes" on HLTB but it took me a couple hours. Game is hard! Until you realize there's a way to start at the level before the one you game over'd at. So I had to repeat a couple levels but eventually I got to the end by attrition. That...

I'll draw first blood. Finished Double Dragon Neo. Game is awesome, but it's also one of those games where the final boss is way harder than the rest of the game. Also you can level up, which just means you have to go back and grind to have a chance against the final boss which is kind of...

Soon as we beat the latest EQ expansion, I'm gonna add my /played to the thread and immediately lead with 4,788 points! HAWR

I know what you mean, in 1996 or so I saw a bunch of Skinemax and it fucked me up for a while in terms of making me a way-too-horny early teenager and wanting to bang everything. Like when Louis CK talked about putting his dick in-between the refrigerator and its door as a teenager because he...

Yep, seen all of those. Screamers is a REALLY good one, people need to know that one exists. It's got a little bit of The Thing's DNA combined with a little bit of Terminator DNA and you really can't go wrong with that. I saw Screamers very late (like 2018) and was still blown away by it. Such...

I can very easily see a scenario where Part 2 only goes up to Corel and the Corel prison stuff, with Dyne as the final boss (well "final boss" the way Motor Ball was, there'll be something new after it). Have a feeling Part 2 will be very Barret-centric as is. It'll introduce Yuffie as the sole...

* Darth Vader Noooooooooo.jpg * Yeah I'm in for February, moar backlogs! For the next one I submit that we allow games under the HLTB 3 hour mark, on an honor system of sorts. Like if it's short but it took you a long time it counts. Cause I've got Rez Infinite and FNAF 5 that are both listed...

Beat 'em. Just got to DS2 last year and it was pretty great even for a PS3 game with dated visuals. It's held up really well compared to a lot of others.

It's a weird OCD thing where I have to finish everything I start. I think Spirit Tracks might have finally broken me out of this pattern because it was SO BAD. I had to finish the Zelda series, but at what cost? Well, if they're doing a 3 year release window (that is, IF it'll arrive in Q2...

Yeah, Sunshine is what I meant, not Sunrise. I've seen Alien (all of 'em), many times over. Actually when I got into Space Horror around 2012 with Event Horizon etc, one of the first things I did was get back into the Alien movies. Life and Moon are both AWESOME. I was hoping Life would...

Any other recommended movies that are similar to this? I really like the "existential threat on the edge of space" vibe. Like the vaguely EH-esque Reavers in Firefly/Serenity which were by far the most interesting thing to me in that universe. I've seen Event Horizon, Pandorum, Invasion of the...

Was super-interested in this game (and was going to finally play the original in preparation for it) until I saw that fucking jawline. I might still play the original. She's actually feminine in that one.

I hunkered down and finished Spirit Tracks. Easily the least-fun Zelda game I've ever played by far. You pretty much have to be a Zelda superfan to like this one. At least Link and Zelda finally reach 1st Base in this. Actually Zelda is easily the best thing about the game but she can't save it...

That'll show Rogan, the guy who spreads Anti-Vax Disinformation by having vaccine experts on to talk about holding governments accountable and present varied perspectives. I hope they fry the bastard! I imagine Rogan sleeps pretty well knowing he's on the right side of history in terms of...

This ends tomorrow night, right? The end of the 31st, not the beginning of the 31st? Cause I got to the (awful and tedious) final boss of Spirit Tracks and penciled it in for tomorrow since I wanted to relax today and hang out with people. This sounds like something I'd probably like, both...

I was gonna choose "flight" or "be irresistable to women" but after seeing the available choices... I don't wanna be a superhero anymore Gun to my head, I'll pick the soy sauce one

I agree that GOP in power is more bullish for crypto than DNC, just going by the past year. However, Trump himself wasn't too keen on crypto either, as I recall. But I don't remember him actively going after it, so it'd still be a step up from the current random menacing from Yellen. Yeah...

Yeah, things can change very rapidly. When Biden jokes around about "I don't know if there will even be a republican party in 2024" I don't take it as a joke. One terror attack (or "terror attack") or conflict and they can quickly undo all of our norms, criminalize groups of people with...

What in the blue fuck

Some people really like the DS Zeldas, I'm just not one of them. If I'd played them in-era when they were more of a thing, alongside other people, I'd probably have liked them more. Instead I played them like ten years after the fact just because I wanted to finish the series, so it was work.

I'm still working on Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Game is horrible, so I'm here to warn people against it. Looks like a lot of comment sections on the game are full of people saying it's the worst Zelda game, or that it's their last one so they're playing it out of completionism/obligation. Which is...

I tell people they should get into this stuff because at the end of the day it's easier to figure out than the stock market and there's a lot of money to be made here. If someone can fuck up as much as I do and still break even, I imagine people who are experts (or have copious amounts of luck)...

Well, so much for our portfolio values. Even BTC isn't safe from government-created FUD.

I believe both prizes are random. So one is rolled between everyone who participated and one is rolled with more weight given to the people with more games. What helps me is that the contests came along at a time when I was already planning on clearing out as much backlog as I can...

Finished Scott Pilgrim vs The World. This has been on the backlog for years cause I love the movie. Well, the game is kind of medium, lot of bugs and whatnot but it has enough charm to get by. Was surprised to find that even though it's a beat-em-up, you pretty much have to level up to proceed...

Now that I think back on it, I think you're right about Dozekar. Wonder who the mom was. Also worth noting that Dozekar was originally a blue dragon and they changed him to a rust dragon a few months after Velious launched...no idea why, or if that's part of his lore. The fact that Dozekar is so...

That pose everyone is in at the end of the intro reminds me of the end of Bob Saget's "aristocrats" joke, for some reason.

I feel like Hitler-Fucking Game is one of the signs that we're entering the world of Idiocracy. Actually there's literally a show on TBS now that features a guy getting hit in the balls by all kinds of crazy objects. In any case, just beat Vanquish. What an awesome game, probably the most fun...

Oh that was just a rumor? The game is gonna be able to store like 10,000x the data that it's capped at now. Everything should run better, and in theory they can finally add new races/classes. Think the zone size potential will increase as well.

Yeah, they all took me 20+ and Souls 2 took like 48. I'm expecting Elden Ring to be similar length to that and think they downplayed the hours (probably doesn't count all the death).

I think Kerafyrm (he/him btw, IIRC) was just created because the devs wanted to create a ludicrously-OP mob just to rampage around and kill players. I got the feeling that a lot of the early EQ development revolved around "what can we design that'll kill people". Like when Kunark first came out...

I'm one of the people who also likes 2. It has the deepest and most interesting combat/gameplay, IMO. Also the best DLC, by far. Weird thing is, if someone's only gonna play two of them, I'd recommend 1 and 3. Rapture is a tremendous setting, Columbia is a tremendous setting, gotta see both of...

One of my GFs grew up on the cartoon, so she was very familiar with all the Pokemon without ever playing any of the games. She really wanted me to play one on the TV so she could watch it. This was 2016 so the Switch didn't exist yet. Best I had was Pokemon FireRed on a modded Wii with...

Yeah I wasn't crazy about Dynamax either. All it is is a giant transformation that completely generi-fies all of your Pokemon's abilities into general type moves. Boring. All the NPCs in Gen 8 make such a big deal about it for the whole game, all Dynamax-this and Dynamax-that. Well I say it's...

Well, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is coming out in four days. I have no idea if it'll be good or not, but it's described as "Pokemon meets BOTW" and you said he likes that, so it may be the best option. However it's also going to be the most "different" from traditional Pokemon out of all the ones...

Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing a Vanguard insanity playthrough of all 3 to plat them. Vanguard is so much fun. Still want to try Adept though, is there any one particular game where Adept excels?

That makes sense, because from the way SOL is moving compared to other dipped things, I'm not getting the impression that it has anywhere near the consumer confidence that the other major coins on my radar have. Looks like a lot more people are abandoning ship than buying the dip. I was THIS...
