some good deals here, i'll probably pick up portal 2 and the batman: arkham city each for < $7.00

Do you know what game was weird? LOOM

[ifear]

first girl i ever went out with was big into lucasarts and had a particular fondness for loom.
our shared love of toonstruck was one of the first things we bonded over.

fuck you guys for making me nostalgic.

Anyone playing Dragon's Dogma? Pretty fun so far.

ive been thinking about picking this up

I recommend it. I'm surprised that no one else here seems to be playing it. It lacks polish but it reminds me a little bit of Demon's Souls/Dark Souls. Not as difficult but there's not a lot of hand holding.The pawn system is really neat as well.

i'd kinda give anything for this just once, so consider yourself lucky

same.

I have that hard cover Lucas Arts Scumm book, my ex kept slipping it in the closet while cleaning.

between this and burning through arkham city again, i really want a zelda metal gear solid. like it's set in the 80s in nothern africa, but within a huge chunk of it so you can have that variety of locales: urban, jungle, desert (+egypt), mountains, plains, beaches, ocean. and it's the metal gear universe so technology is just a step ahead, but still mostly analog as it was in mgs3. and you have this mystery/action-adventure/stealth game set in this alternate reality and man it would be so awesome. that could be kojima's castlevania

[Cobra Calling]

Yeah I want Monaco real bad.

[chairkicker]

gonna be fixated on this metal gear idea for a while. it's what i'd drop everything to do if i had the money to put some people together

edit: either that or i'd make game set on some campus in the pacific northwest where people go fly fishing all the time

i love those 'ask me about' bits in the monkey island games - it's the only way i'd heard of loom, and got me interested in grim fandango (to this day, probably my favourite game).
i like how double fine do the same kind of thing now, with charlie blackmore from stacking popping up in the costume quest dlc. fun stuff.

oh lord, i cannot wait for the cave. i'm not the only one with a childlike excitement about this, right?

[Blackeyed]

Is "The Cave" the game that was Kickstarter funded, or is that a different game?

[ifear]

different one

[chairkicker]

crazy excited for the cave. only wish it had somehow been their next big 3d project. i guess in a sense it is

[chairkicker]

that backwoods point and click lunatics were even questioning its validity as an adventure game was quite disillusioning

[ifear]

fuck em
i was reading a piece on ron gilbert where he was saying how the same kind of wankers said maniac mansion wasn't a real adventure game because it wasn't just text. double fuck em.

are kameo and viva pinata any good? i'm pro-rare, generally.

[whatabout tim]

The viva pinata on sale is the mini-game collection like mario party. Not the normal, pinata-raising game.

this is fair enough.

the happiest memory i have is of her coming over to my place one weekend and bringing her playstation and just forcing me to play mgs all weekend while she lay in bed going 'you'll love this bit' about the whole game. that might have been the weekend i lost my virginity, but that's not so memorable. i do remember we watched memento and listened to music has the right to children a lot that weekend, though.

i recognise that no-one cares.

[Cobra Calling]

I care. Thanks for sharing.

[whatabout tim]

Yea, that sounds pretty amazing.

[MADONNA WAYNE GACY]

wario land 4 is a real fun game s/o jeremy. probably gonna play a lot of nintendo games this summer. keep videogaming in the 2012s

[chairkicker]

kameo can be fun, but it's bloated to hell and one of the goofiest looking games ever made (though occasionally kinda beautiful)

Hey, what's the best Railroad Tycoon, or Railroad Tycoon-like game?

[No Good Advice]

don't know if anyone but me owns a vita here, but if you do, dlc for wipeout 2048 is out with the full wipeout HD and Fury games from ps3. if you own them digitally on ps3 they're free for the vita! so 2048 is now basically the ultimate collection for wipeout fans
