geometry wars for the wii was pretty awesome they shouldn't dismiss it outright

it sure as hell looked better than what i saw in that quick look

All I remember of that game is that it looked really flat visually.

Retro Evolved 2 to Retro Evolved 1.

Oh ok. That makes sense. I should have assumed that. I do agree with you, I think the 2nd one added a lot of interesting ways to play without losing what made the original games great.

 

[popo]

I played a fair bit of Galaxies on the DS. Fuck knows why.

I'm not responsible for my buff wolf friends ripping you apart piece by piece...

We did it, guys. We wished really hard and it came true.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Drew's going to shock the world and one shot Fatman.

 

[popo]

Because it's awesome.

controls were rough. I still have the calluses.

 

[Servbot #42]

Man "Fatman" is such a ridiculous character name, i know it's referencing the code name for the atomic bomb but it just sounds silly to me. Equally silly is the fact that he drinks wine from a cup and moves in roller-skates, oh Kojima.

Better than calling him Little Boy.

There's a bisexual vampire called Vamp in this game and that's what you pick on?

 

[Servbot #42]

There's a bisexual vampire called Vamp in this game and that's what you pick on?

What can i say Vamp doesn't bother me because it's an obvious nickname but the Fatman name goes a bit too far to be taken as fact, it just doesn't work for me at all.

 

[Volotaire]

Vamp just sounds ridiculous to me.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean, not to fat shame someone really, but fatman is also kinda fat.

 

[daydream]

Fatman sounds like a Divekick character.

 

[Archaix]

I almost stopped playing MGS2 because Vamp was such a stupid name. I had no attachment to the series because I didn't play the first one, and by the time they called him Vamp and implied he was a vampire, I just about put it down for good.

 

[Yaboosh]

2 is better than 1.

Classic mode is way better in 1. Pacifism is really good in 2.

Vamp being a vampire would have been better than the actual explanation for his powers.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I would have went with Eripmav.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Looking at the Smash bros quick look and man, I didn't know that the binding of isaac cribbed that much from the original zelda.

 

[NightmareTrigger]

I would have went with Eripmav.

What about Sharpteeth McGee?

 

[Archaix]

What about Sharpteeth McGee?

Don't be silly. Those are silly names for nerds. It'd be a cool name for cool guys, like Anemic Honey Badger.

 

[Haunted]

The new Geo Wars seems like a logical progression from Galaxies, it has a similar structure and many of the same modes and changes - but now the levels are in three dimensions.

And... I'm not sure how much I like this. It's definitely a huge change with big implications, and the quick and panicky camera movements I've seen in that cube-shaped boss stage didn't look super great or seemed super fun to play.

As someone who agrees that all the additions and changes they've made since the first one made the game lose some of that "purity" that made the first one so special and addictive, I really did end up liking the balance they struck with Galaxies.

But completely changing the playing field like this might be a step too far for me. I suppose I have to try it out for myself and see how it feels with a controller in hand, but watching them play... I could see some of these levels being not much fun (also, I'm not a guy who gets motion sick, but I can really easily see that happening in this game to those who are prone to that).

 

[AcridMeat]

Just watched the Psycho Mantis boss fight episode of MGS. The post fight cutscene is where I'm finally understanding why people love the stories of these games. Some pretty awesome stuff for 98.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Are they going to do a Pokemon quicklook?

 

[Anjin M]

Are they going to do a Pokemon quicklook?

I was going to say that I doubt it, but I see that HeartGold, Black, and X all got Quick Looks. So, maybe?

Here's my exclusive recap of the yet unrevealed Pokemon QL:

I'm not even going to front I fake read so many books when I was a kid to get those pizzas, it was sad and great at the same time.

 

[Renpatsu]

Fatman comes so close to you while he's skating around you might as well just use CQC to knock him down to the ground.

Edit: Doesn't matter really, Drew is knocking it out of the park with his claymores.
Edit: And they figured it out for the win at the end too.

 

[grapetile]

It wasn't Pizza Hut for me, but my elementary school had a program where if you read enough books you could get a soda or popcorn every Friday. I made sure to read enough every week to get both.

I wish I had the Pizza Hut deal near me though. That would've been incredible to 10 year old me.

 

[justjim89]

Man, my soul needs some Metal Gear Scanlon tonight. Literally all of my family supports Darren Wilson and curses the protesters and it's just fucking me up so bad.

Take me away, Drew.

 

[Blablurn]

How did they check that you read the whole book?

 

[The Dear Leader]

How did they check that you read the whole book?

The way my school did it was that you had to check the book out of the school library or bring a book into to school and read it in the library, and they would mark you card for each book you "read".

EDIT: BTW this is the type of pizza you got, it's a called a personal pan pizza, still remember it like yesterday.

That pizza doesn't look too bad.

 

[The Dear Leader]

That pizza doesn't look too bad.

Yeah for an elementary school kid it was great, perfect size for a meal.

 

[grapetile]

How did they check that you read the whole book?

My school made us take tests that were designed around that specific book. It would ask specific questions that you'd only know if you had read the book.

That didn't really stop me from gaming it and just taking the test over and over until I got the right answers, but that's beside the point.

Admittedly, it's been a very long time, but I think my elementary school required us to write a few sentences about the book before the teacher/librarian gave the stamp.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Ah I know pokemon! ash ketchup or something.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Someone needs to tell drew to watch out for the green light.

That might have been the case for me as well, I just don't remember for sure.

 

[justjim89]

Don't you get the AK in strut F? Drew is gonna be mad.

 

[Antiwhippy]

What a weirdo!

I love that drew and dan are starting to riff on raiden.

 

[Red UFO]

The plenary at the end of the latest MGS is great.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I seriously can't wait to see drew try to piece everything together by the end of the series and just melt into a pool of pure consciousness.
