It's nice that pristine still has time to visit these threads occasionally.

I knew this was coming as I hit submit. Slow work day, I guess.

Pristine has actually shown up in 2 or 3 threads this season but his posts have only been a sentence or two long.

Gameday Preview (comedy)

Lost it at the 90s comedy comment. Rest of the link is pure gold.

 

[BertramCooper]

Almost done with Bayo 1 and loving it. Although my eyes almost roll out of my head during every cutscene.

Yeah, the plot is utter nonsense. But good god, these games are so much fun.

Bayonetta was the game that proved to me that I care about story in modern games.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Again you people with your video games.

Or does Bayonetta play down in the Sun Belt.

 

[cdyhybrid]

We can talk about how Florida State is harboring a rapist if you want.

Newest member of the ACC. Almost like the Sun Belt.

I can handle campy. Bayo's story is just painful though. The worst kind of anime-style fan service I can imagine. The comic relief characters aren't funny, Bayonetta exists solely to make double entendres and allow the camera to give her a pelvic exam... *sigh*

At least when I play it through again I can just skip the cutscenes.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I recall watching what was probably the opening cinematic of Bayonetta, thinking it was literally the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and never giving the game a second thought. And since exactly 19 people ever bought and played the game, it was probably for the best.

It's worth playing. The graphics are really nice, the enemy designs are actually fantastic, and the gameplay is really, really fun.

You just have to wade through some gross BS to enjoy those parts.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

I couldn't even finish the demo of Bayonetta because of the cringe.

 

[Mac the KNife]

So what's the hot gaming console I should be shooting for this holiday?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

So what's the hot gaming console I should be shooting for this holiday?

Atari 2600. I recommend Pac-Man and Asteroids.

Pshh I already gots a Pacman tape for my Regular Nintendo.

 

[JCX]

Yeah the demo is very much a PS2 era action game that is becoming increasingly uncommon. Don't really care about stories in games. I'd buy it now, but I know I won't have the time to play it with Smash looming.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I buy all third party games on Atari as a show of support. It's also why I watch ACC games -- knowing that if I don't, nobody will.

The best part of the ACC noon game is that you can go get a big lunch, come home and turn it on, then promptly fall asleep. Eventually you'll stagger awake around 2:45 or so and can check the scores to see if there is something actually worth watching.

Real talk, this my fall Saturday for like two decades.

Duke has a noon game the next 2 weekends (and had it last week, too), so go ahead and plan to sleep through those.

Since Heisman Pundit sold out or something it looks like we only have the ESPN Heisman watch this year, which pegs Mariota as the current front runner:

Good to see Duke Johnson and Melvin Gordon on that list and no mention of Ameer Abdullah.

Fuck ESPN
