We should have a "random ****" thread in this forum imo - Page 318 - Video Games

Wow...I'm glad I pulled the trigger and talked to the guy from NFM when I did about the UN55KS8000 that I ended up getting him to bring down the price to $919.89. It just went up in price $300 from $1199 to $1499!!

Probably not gonna play past my first 2-3 hours of SoM - it's so damn repetitive. Bought Horizon Zero Dawn lol.

It's repetitive but gets more entertaining once you start piling up skills. HZD should be awesome though.

It was a decently cool game but it would have been much better if there was some actual challenge in it. After a few hours you're just uber ridiculous and it's just the same thing over and over.

Ya, I bounced off of it after a few hours. Felt like a medieval and slightly more interesting combat system to the Arkham games, with a fairly tacked on story. The nemesis system didn't do much for me, just like most procedural content. Hopefully they don't squander the license with this next one.

The official, translated from Japanese, lyrics to the Mario theme music:

Quote:

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go save Princess Peach! Go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

Get a mushroom - it’s Super Mario!

Get a flower - it’s Fire Mario!

Goomba! Troopa! Buzzy Beetle! Beat them all!

Mario is always full of energy and strong!

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go and beat the Koopa tribe, go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

Get a star - become invincible!

Quickly, go save Princess Peach!

Lakitu! Blooper! Cheep Cheep! Beat them all!

Mario is always full of energy and strong!

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

He’s made it to the castle and gets fireworks!

Lightly sidestepping the Hammer Bros.

Show the last of your power, Mario!

It’s been a long journey but it’s nearly at an end

You’ve done it, you’ve done it! You’ve defeated Bowser!

Princess Peach says “Thank you”

Mario’s got a great big heart!

Mario’s adventure is over for now, but

Mario’s dream lives forever...

MS announced a subscription service. $10 a month, over 100 first and third party games. Basically Netflix for games.

Except it isn't cloud gaming and it also offers current-gen games.

Seems more like EA Access. And a bit like a "stealth" price increase for XBL Gold.

It's not vastly different to PSnow (which is IIRC $100/yr for access to 450 games), I can see why people would draw the comparison.

Reviews coming in for Planscape: Torment sequel. Looks pretty positive so far. Going to have to wait until after my exams before i get it otherwise things will work out quite badly.

Man the sheer amount of good/great/incredible games released recently is insane with even more coming soon. It's safe to say this gen is hitting it's full stride. Need more time.

Lots of Yooka-Laylee previews released recently. The hype is real! Hopefully my laptop can handle it.

Tim Schafer was on a podcast recently and they kept talking about the double fine documentary. Decided to start watching it and the first five minute intro video alone was worth the watch.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLI...&v=AdXvZgIV1Q0

Even the wife who didn't know who Tim Schafer is was laughing.

Doubt it keeps up for the entire series as it's more a documentary, but still.

Any interest in a Yooka-Laylee thread, or would it just be me by myself?

Make it and they will come.

I live 2 blocks from their office and have crossed paths with Schafer walking to work.
