Giving birth to those spiky-shelled brats would be the most painful thing ever.
Maybe they're born with little nubs. Maybe not though. Has Science gone too far?

So Fredrik Thordendal (Meshuggah) co-wrote the music for Wolfenstein: The New Order. Huh had no idea!

Sort of old news but there's an expansion coming to Cities Skylines and I can't wait. If they add a telecommunications utility to the game I will lose my shit.

That' nice to know. There's great music all over that game. It really adds to the experience.

I prefer the fan theory that Mario is the bad guy. The princess actually loves Bowser, and she goes along with the kidnappings in order to be with him. In Super Mario Sunshine, when it is revealed that Peach is NOT Bowser Jr.'s mother, everyone, including Peach, is surprised. Why would Peach be surprised if she had not given birth to one (or all) of Bowser's previous children? Mario is the bad guy, as he continues to steal the princess from her true love.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Mario!

Was there anyone out there who weren't creeped out when they first revealed the possibility of Peach being Bowser Jrs mother?

I mean, Bowser denies it later but the thought process in our tiny little brains were already in full motion by that point.

I really wish Nintendo would do something like this, make a legitimate emulator, and charge me $0.99 for titles I used to have twenty years ago.

Anyone else a fan of the Myst/Riven games?

I absolutely loved these games as a kid and spent countless hours upon hours exploring in their worlds

I finished To The Moon today. I bought it as a result of reading this thread. Thanks for pointing me to a great game. What a story!

I got the Myst remake during the last winter sales - still haven't played it tho

I quite enjoyed it! Be sure to play the two free DLCs, which expand on some controversies that weren't explored in the game, and deepens the relationship between both scientist

Nel · « **Reply #1375 on:** July 31, 2015, 09:56:21 PM »

I was freaking obsessed with the Myst franchise. Loved the aesthetic and the designs. The sense of isolation. The music. It's all so good. Only played the first three games though.

But then they couldn't charge you $5 to get them on your DS.

SPOILER ALERT
I did, and now I have even more questions! Like, was the whole christmas party a false memory created for Dr. Rosalene? Why did the screen flash red at the end of the original game? What was that clone Dr. Rosalene saw as she was leaving the building?

Sacul · « **Reply #1378 on:** August 01, 2015, 09:26:39 AM »

You might want to put a spoiler alert there, just in case

Anyways, I hope he releases the sequel soon - there's lots of potential there.

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #1379 on:** August 01, 2015, 09:57:57 AM »

Done and done. Yeah, I hope we get a sequel soon.

Finally playing Half-Life 2 and it's really excellent so far. I know it was a good few years later, but it's just such a step up both in narrative and in gameplay.

I just finished it recently, it's really excellent

I never finished the first Half-Life due to the awful mechanics

I was looking for a picture of a guy in half life holding a wrench, so I could caption it, "Hey, fuck you bro, we're doing the best we can!"

But instead found this:

That kinda happened to me in the past - it's a pretty fiddly game and I'd find myself struggling to get through it. Not sure I'd say I was getting stuck as such, but not far off, and it put me off. Anyway when I eventually game back to it a few months ago I enlisted the help of a walkthrough to help me get through all the fiddly bits.

New trailer for Ghost Recon Wildlands. Looks amazing.

Just picked up Demon's Souls for PS3 and it's amazing just like all of the other "Souls games." It's a shame how the difficulty of these games supposedly turns a lot of people off from them because they're some of the most rewarding and enjoyable games I've ever played.

Just started playing the Remastered Tomb Raider game. Blown away so far. Beautiful and super fun to play. Best $9 I've spent on a game.

i literally cannot help but cry whenever i hear Everything's Alright because I automatically associate it with the scene it's featured in in that game and HOLY HELL IS THAT SCENE SO DAMN SAD OMG ;~;

Speaking of feels, I just finished Walking Dead Season 1 and Journey both for the first time today. Both games are just incredible.

Apparently Dice is still adding content to BF4. I havent played in awhile, but that's cool.

Went and replayed the original Silent Hill after many years of not playing it. Love that game.

For my birthday I got both Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends (along with some other games). I decided to give Origins a try first, since it was released first. I finished the first world, but was just getting frustrated and angry with it, so I decided to just move along to Legends instead, and I'm glad I did.
Sooooooooooo much better it's not even a contest. They completely fixed up the total mud controls so now the controls are tight and predictable, so now 90% of my deaths aren't from fighting the controls. The enemies don't do that stupid bubble thing that screws you over, the punching doesn't send you flying into the wrong spot, it doesn't have the timed glowy things that disappear, there are more things to find in level, the level design in more fun, the music is better, it's just all around better. I'm excited to get into this one now.
