Ivan lit up a cigarette while in cover and it actually cast light on the environment and the smoke moved around as I got up and started shooting people. Game is pretty alright.
It also passes the official ricochetguro third person shooter seal of quality test: You can slide and shoot at the same time!

Some dude in Devil's Third called me a dog and said he'd put me down. Three minutes later in a cutscene, "This dog's off the leash" *jumps out of airplane*
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
I really wish Giant Bomb would do a spoiler cast for Lightning Returns because that game has one of the most mental fucking endings I've ever seen.
I realize however none of them are likely to ever finish it, or even play it.

I was looking forward to it but it got leaked for steam so I will wait until that version comes out. EDF 2 Vita edition came out the same day so I'm good with that for a few months.
I like the couch co-op aspect. It is one of the few games my wife also enjoys playing.
Austin played some for extra life. Don't think anyone else has though they're aware that a lot of people like it. I think bread said he was gonna try and play it.

They're so good, I didn't play enough of 4 when I picked it up on the PS3 so I'm looking forward to picking up the PS4 version.
I think Austin is the only one to have played it so far and he only played the first episode, he did say that he'd like to finish it at some point.
Brad started it but didn't finish it. XIII broke him

I played episode 1 yesterday. I thought it was pretty good, despite some really stilted acting at times. I was super disappointed at the
reveal though, I hope that doesn't taint the whole thing

(Apropos of nothing,) I love that I can get into the chat without fail on Rivers Cuomo's periscope streams but I can practically never get into chat on Dan's since they fill up so damn quick.
Finally going through Tales from the Borderlands myself. Midway through episode 2, and it really is kinda great so far. I didn't loathe the writing in Borderlands (thought it was your average afterthought game writing) but I do think the name may have kept me from this longer than I would have otherwise considering all the praise.

I think that they do a really good job at making Jack into a character that isn't just a burning pile of garbage, when I got to that reveal I was kind of bummed but he ended up growing on me to the point where I think he has some of the best moments in the whole series.
Wow Mario Is Missing is bizarre. Had no idea what kind of game it was, just that it wasn't a platformer.
edit: I loved EDF 2017, but haven't played any since. I remember hearing the PC one a few years ago was super buggy. I don't mean because of the enemies.

I was in the same exact boat, but they do an amazing job turning that character into someone I don't despise.
Yeah this. It's one of the main reasons why I was so surprised at how good TftB is.

Days since piston got salty about people talking about tftb back to zero as well

I just put 15 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles X within a single 24 hour period. Having a day off gave me too much freedom.
They actually succeed in making him feel menacing as an antagonist which I'm not sure Borderlands 2 ever came close to.
And his speech to Rhys in Episode 5 about how Rhys is much, much better at killing people than him is some great chilling stuff.

I really like the FFXIII games but I can totally see how others don't. I finally picked up Lightning Returns and I'm playing through that now.
Damn those people talking about games on a gaming forum!

Not really mental ending, just ridiculously stupid.
I was thinking Shadow Complex was a little game but this map keeps on growing! Maybe it's because I have not played many metroidvanias lately (last one was Valdis Story) but I didn't expect that
I'm near the end, I think, rushing over everyone with a power boot and shooting rockets at whoever stays alive after that

Oh it's definitely stupid but it's also very mental.
Lightning ends up in France ffs.

What's a schoon though?
How do you make it?

I think it a dutch shoe of some description (so maybe out of wood?). . Shumaker/Schoonmaker/Shoemaker seem to be all regional variants of the same name.
edit:
although the internet says schoonmaken means to clean. So who the fuck knows. Surnames.
Probably a shortened form of Schooner.

Mario is Missing is way worse than I remember. Mario's Time Machine at least had that Mode 7 surfing minigame.

Tales from the Borderlands Episode 5 spoilers:
That interaction was great and so was the moment when he realises that you're ripping out your cybernetics and basically killing him, it was surprising that they managed to create a moment where I actually felt sympathy for Handsome Jack of all characters.

I like to think that Gbeast just have to sit like that all the time.

Does anyone here have a copy of Rock Band 3 on the PS3? I need help with something.
Is 16 worth it if you played a ton of 15?

Haven't played it since 2K14, but is the way to play the Career mode still just "call for the ball the second you have control of your player and go hard in the paint until you're the champions?"
I was gonna do this, too, but I was going to wait 'til tomorrow when Best Buy starts their "Buy 1 Nintendo Wii U game, get 1 40% off" deal to get Xenoblade Chronicles X and avoid paying full price for Devil's Third...but Best Buy is already sold out of Devil's Third, as is Amazon.
Damn low-print runs.

They won't finish LiS this year if they don't marathon it next week.
That's what I did so I would say yes. I bought it for full price, but if you can get it on sale you should do that. Also I'm still convinced that the make your AI teammates in MyTeam especially stupid to try to get you to spend real money.
Career mode is slightly harder because you start off rated as the worst player in the league by a big margin and you can't upgrade anything or earn VC until you finish the Spike Lee stuff. Once you can start to upgrade stuff it gets pretty easy again. The AI is still not great about guarding you off the ball so you can just cut to the basket, call for a pass, and get a dunk pretty often.
If they do 2 streams next week, it'll be real easy. They have a good amount of Episode 4 left, but they should be able to do that and start 5 if they do a normal length stream. They can then finish up 5 on stream 2 since it's a normal length episode.

I don't think it is, but I've also bought it every year for like 10 years.
