I loved the concept of Dark Souls; the one problem was that I'm not a serious gamer so when I did finally get past the first boss and moved on to new enemies, I was disheartened by having to figure out something new. Probably a flaw on my part though, the game is pretty neat. I was sad that I couldn't get it on this sale until I saw what Umbrage said about the patches and such.There will be no kisses tonight

Monaco is a top down game where you play as a robber who is...well, robbing something while avoiding guards and alarms and such. There are various roles and these roles each have different strengths, for example the Locksmith can pick locks on things faster. Of course, it's probably a lot more fun to play with multiple people so you have the abilities of multiple roles.
I got most of this from Wikipedia tbh, but I did watch one video of it a long time ago and it looked pretty fun. Plus I think a lot of people on MS like it. If Kcdaspot doesn't give you his extra key, it's a pay-more-than-the-average game on the Humble Indie Bundle.There will be no kisses tonight

Bomb Party
An online multiplayer version of what is essentially Hot Potato. You are given a 2-3 letter string and you have to find an English word that includes that string. So if it were "AST" you could type MASTER, CAST, or BASTE, or others. Meanwhile, a bomb is ticking and every time it expires you lose a heart. Last person standing wins.
Literally one of the most fun games ever. It's fun to see people struggle with finding a word. Also there are a lot of "Good Bad Bugs" IMO: the randomness of the bomb, an imperfect dictionary, and sometimes extremely difficult strings (ODH, for example, luckily I knew of JODHPURS). But all of these make the game chancey enough for anyone to win really. One true problem is that the first person to join a new game gets to decide the language, rather than having specific rooms for each, and so you can get stuck in a French game without meaning to. Though I guess that's enjoyable sometimes in testing your French knowledge.There will be no kisses tonight

So I will be staying at my friend's for spring break, and they have a PS3, so if I were to rent Heavy Rain and dedicate at least 10-12 hours of play to it, would I get a good enough play experience?There will be no kisses tonight

lol
mine is like the three games I bought from the Double Fine humble bundle and I haven't finished one (though I might have Psychonauts done by now if it weren't for my laptop needing repair/replacement)
But I think that might increase once I finish college?There will be no kisses tonight

Well, here's my thought process:
That's really neat, BUT
I have a lot of other work to do, AND
If you get them all, you just get "invited" to LA to make the "final round" of hiring, which isn't very strong at all, AND
Various places have already aggregated locations for everything, so that's kind of poopaf frific, SO
I'm not even trying.
Kudos to you if you finish and become like ruler of Google though.There will be no kisses tonight

This wasn't you was it? If not, there are a bunch of recommendations in that thread on the subject.In post 853, xRECKONERx wrote:Does anyone know of any great 3D platformers that are recent? I miss the days of Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie... you know, the big, overwhelming 3D platformers that have multiple things to do in a level, multiple paths, collectibles, arbitrary # of stars locks on doors, etc.
Seems like the last one I can remember was one of the last Ratchet & Clank games but I'm craving something similar.There will be no kisses tonight

Just figured I'd let everyone and anyone know before this runs out in approx. 1 and a half days! This Weekly Humble Bundle lets you get the wonderful RPG Maker for a fraction of what it would normally cost! the first tier gives you the newest version, but the $6 and $12 tiers provide more dlc and games for you to mess around with.There will be no kisses tonight

So I've heard. I just didn't know how far back the change occurred. It would've been easy to look up, but thanks for your help!
I also managed to snag a Wii finally at a garage sale! (Don't worry, the seller said it was her daughter's and she simply didn't need it since the family had another one already). I also snagged Mario Kart Wii (lol so behind), but I definitely have a list of games I would like to get and play:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Pikmin 3, maybe?
New Super Mario Bros., maybe?
Any other suggestions? I considered Okami a little but I'm not sure if it's my style of game.There will be no kisses tonight

I actually have the DS version, and from what I've played of the Wii version...I already imagine it's much better.
Oops @ Pikmin. I guess I meant the first two, which are available through VC or Gamecube backwards comp or something?
And I don't really care for Donkey Kong, but I heard it was a really good game!There will be no kisses tonight

This.
I have no idea why Nintendo felt the need to include that detail with the kid. It's all I can think about when I think about that first island now.
Also I'm considering finally finishing Psychonauts, from post-Black Velvetopia onward...on father's day? :/There will be no kisses tonight

This. Lungfishopolis is probably the easiest level in the game?In post 922, Flameaxe wrote:The real question is how you managed to stop playing in LUNGFISHOPOLIS.
Anyway, I finished, and here is my ranking of "mental" levels:
9. Milkman Conspiracy - shocking last place? Yeah sure it's like the poster child for why Psychonauts is such a good game and it's pretty humorous but it uses the Clairvoyance power which is generally difficult and thus the puzzles are so weird
8. Sasha's Shooting Gallery - It's boring but I suppose it is supposed to be that way, lol.
7. Waterloo World - I like how Waterloo World pulls in board gaming, but it's this low simply out of frustration at the "cannon" enemies plus one part of the level which wasn't really very intuitive.
6. Lungfishopolis - Maybe my favorite boss battle from the game, but otherwise it's weird. Like I said, it's easy, but the enemies are persistent enough that they're pretty annoying, and the level is otherwise a straightforward cityscape.
5. Black Velvetopia - Initially this level made me stop playing, but now I sort of appreciate it. A fun boss fight and Edgar's story is great too.
4. Milla's Dance Party - I feel like in any other game a 70s-colored pinball themed level would be my favorite, but since I've played through this one twice now it's sort of bland. Still gets number four though!
3. Gloria's Theater - In retrospect this level is rather simple? But I like the idea that you have to have the right play, right set, right mood to figure it out. It's not counter-intuitive unlike some of the other puzzles though, and the boss fight is pretty neat, so it makes for a good level all together.
2. Meat Circus - OK yeah I did get SUPER frustrated at one point (the circular fences, at which point it's necessary that you stand on the narrow tops of them, but the game in no way hints at this), but otherwise it wasn't so bad. I think I appreciated that it was the first real sense of challenge in the game.
1. Basic Braining - First level: best level? lol. I feel like other than maybe the Meat Circus it was the most engrossing visually, like when you hit the swinging trapezes at the airplanes it is a little trippy and I wanted there to be many more such experiences (sadly it did not live up the expectations. But yeah, parts like that and the logroll of doom make this level my favorite.There will be no kisses tonight

ah yes. Well the shield power is your friend.
But if you are good at the platforming aspect, you need to return for the platforming infernos/heavens that are the final "real world" level and the Meat Circus.There will be no kisses tonight

poor Maruchan
And yeah I think I'd like the creation and the first stage of Spore but that's about it. Still I've decided I'm going to try to stick to my "5 or under" policy for daily deals and such for now.
Speaking of creation, RPG Maker being on sale when I got it and a bunch of DLC for $6 in a humble bundle <3 still if you have any interest in creating games, or even just maps and stories, it's super fun, versatile, and easy to use. and 17.49 is definitely a good deal, it's $70 usually.There will be no kisses tonight

I steer with keyboard, and the mouse controls camera, but usually I try to leave the camera alone once I set it up how I want it.

I know there's a separate thread for it, but some of it is still spoilers to me, so I'm gonna post here that I finally got around to finishing The Walking Dead Season One. Here are my choices for all the episodes:

So I finally played Walking Dead: 400 Days. #SoBehind Overall I thought it was pretty good; yeah it's of course way different from the season-long story of Season 1 but I like the various glimpses we got into everyone's stories.
Bonnie, Wyatt, and Russell went with Tavia. I've heard strange things about Bonnie in Season 2, but here she was pretty decent. I would've liked to have Shel and Becca but their story was the first I played and the choices actually felt pretty limiting (I didn't really want to kill Stephanie OR drive away) so I'm not too torn up.
I'll probably move on to the Wolf Among Us next, since that is Telltale's next game sequentially.There will be no kisses tonight

So The Creatures, a decent YouTube gaming/streaming group based in Colorado, got "swatted" today.
As a huge fan this makes me sick and angry. The Creatures are incredibly nice to their fans and are just all around good people. We need to put a stop to this somehow.There will be no kisses tonight

More appropriately I guess, SWATted. Yup. That SWAT.
It's apparently it is not a unique event, other streamers have had the same done to them.

Could you delve into this a bit more? I'm by no means saying it's abadgame, I just watched a playthrough of the first bit and it looks fun but ultimately pretty standard. What's novel other than the shovel?
Also my friend gifted me Antichamber for my birthday! How exciting! But I still have like Hotline: Miami and the first Ace Attorney to beat, and I haven't even started Pokemon X. :/ At least there are actually several games I'm interested in.There will be no kisses tonight

Just a bit of news: After 10 years of it being an empty, inaccessible space on the world map, the elven city Prifddinas is now open and accessible in Runescape.

Played a bit of Antichamber. It is surprisingly less confusing than trailers/gameplay videos make it seem. The puzzles are often confusing and trial-and-error but once you've did it, you get it (along with a helpful message summarizing what you've done). Simple graphics but they are pretty and intriguing.There will be no kisses tonight

Is Plague Inc. worth $14.99? I watched the Game Grumps play it for their Halloweek and it looked really entertaining. I just want to know if as a fairly casual gamer I should pay that for it or wait for to go on sale or in a humble bundle.There will be no kisses tonight

Beat Organ Trail for the first time today! I think I had lost all my friends before I reached Saint Louis and thus had a lonely journey throughout the rest of the country.
