I wish I could have seen left trigger/right trigger on video just so I could be more uncomfortable.

The long silences were the best part of that. It was like when the adults were having an argument over politics at the dinner table.

i'll never give up griffin over these other wannabe amiibo-heads

Dan claims that he's a fan, but I've never once seen him attempt to fit an entire amiibo into his mouth.

Melissa's Amiibo Zone is trash but The Amiiboyz are surprisingly charming for their age.

We can be put on multiple lists!

Also I have secretly wished that someone would mistake this thread for that one 9/11 conspiracy thread(might not be around anymore) and have been sad it hasn't happened yet.

That's the spirit.

Hearing Vinny let out an audible sigh when they kick off again might be better than the awkward silence.

tell me about it

 

[Data West]

On one hand, R&C is being delivering by UPS so I probably won't see it before I go to work because, for some reason, UPS likes to deliver to me at the very last every day.

On the other hand, I got it for 30 dollars due to Prime.

 

[Megasoum]

I bought Enter the Gungeon over the lunch break today.

Game looks fun but the button mapping feels... Weird... I imagine I'll get used to it.


Also I can barely get 30fps when running it in 720p windowed on my work laptop lol.

 

[broncobuster]

Speaking of being on lists, when is Giantbomb going to import Natsuiro High School?

Pretty sure you can freely change the bindings.

 

[Twin Tails]

How is Killer Instinct for single player? Now that it's on pc I'm tempted to finally cave and pick it up.

Survival is pretty 🎉 fun.

I can put all you guys on a list if you're into being on lists.

Potential dads?

Yeah I'm sure but I imagine the devs set it up that way for a reason.

I want to play Dark Souls 3 but the sun is shinning right onto the TV so I am sitting here waiting for the sun to fuck off.


I should really invest in better curtains.

yeah the default mapping is kind of assy, but you can remap everything.

I moved dodge/roll to LT, blank to LB, both RT and RB are shoot. R3 uses items. putting the map on LT was an odd choice.

you can get blackout curtains for pretty cheap, amigo

 

[Salty Catfish]

For Gungeon I remapped blank to B on my 360 controller. Having to click in both sticks added a slight delay that hurt its use as an "oh shit!" button since I always seemed to be getting hit a split second before it deployed. I might change that to LT for even quicker deployment.

because of the weird bumpers on the XBO controller, having blank on LB makes it a really effective "oh shit" button because if I panic and try to mash the dodge button I usually end up firing a blank and saving my ass that way

Its been on my "to do" list for like... 5 years.


I also moved the PS4 to the bedroom since with work hours now means I dont have as much late night free time anymore and day time was other people TV time. I need that time for sleep now.


Also the dude in Gamestop was giving me the hard sell for protection plan and the season pass for DS3 today.

"this game is hard as nails. You might break the disc"

LOL.

 

[santeesioux]

Blackout curtains are worth it.

you know, we laugh, but I know two people IRL who broke Dark Souls discs in frustration, and I bought a copy of Bloodborne off of a third friend a week after it came out for $20 because he was mad at it and wanted it out of his house

Wait, is roll normally on the bumpers for the Xbox controller? If so then that sounds awful, those aren't the kind of buttons I want to be hitting frequently.

Geez, I'll never understand people raging over a video game enough to break stuff.

yeah LB is dodge, LT is map (lol) RB is shoot and RT is special item.

it's puzzling at best

 

[Archaix]

Roll and shoot are on L1 and R1, I assume they'd map to the bumpers on an Xbox controller.

I try to avoid it but nothing works

 

[RepairmanJack]

I used to break a lot of those old shitty ps1 and ps2 controller knock offs. You hold those controllers even slightly more than normal and they cracked.

Once I witnessed a friend's brother throw his playstation pad into his TV, breaking both. Got real awkward when he suggested moving the playstation to another TV afterwards.

To be fair of you have of those new XB1 controllers then the bumpers are not really an issue anymore.

Doesn't make the actual ingame bindings any better tho.

I'm thinking about at least swapping roll and reload right now. Maybe swap shoot and use item too.

I could see breaking a controller because it is already in your hands, but going through the trouble of ejecting the disc to break it is really funny to me.

 

[Salty Catfish]

The one time I tossed my controller in Bloodborne I actually ended up still being alive with a fraction of health, lol. Thankfully I had just dropped it, not actually thrown it, so I scrambled and picked it up and ended up winning the fight (against Vicar Amelia).

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Yeah, I'm imagining hitting the eject button, waiting a few seconds for the system to stop running the game, a full second of the system smoothly ejecting the disc, and THEN the disc breaking.

 

[LiK]

The most I would do is curse and slam my hands on the couch outta frustration. Never threw controllers or anything like that. Sometimes it's best to just take a break.

it really was a lot easier back in the day with the lid style cd consoles. just pop that PSX open and snap away!

 

[RepairmanJack]

Fuck that! Rip that lid off and put a paper clip in the hole so it thinks it's closed then you can just grab the disk and frisbee that shit.

 

[Salty Catfish]

I've only broken a disc once and it was a celebratory event -- in high school, me and some friends spent a few hours one night trying to beat American Gladiators for the NES via emulation on the Dreamcast. When we finally triumphed, we ejected the disc and smashed it with a hammer in what I have to imagine was some kind of ritualistic banishment of the game's spirit.

(It seemed hilarious at the time.)

LOL.

My Gamestop lady said almost the same thing. "Do you want to get disc protection for $3 in case you snap the disc in half?"

I wonder if that was some talking point sent out by corporate?

Surprised they reported on Evolution Studios being closed by Sony but not about the team being picked up by Codemasters.

Probably recorded before the news happened. It'll be mentioned this week.

I assume you mean as news article? May they'll get around to it. I'd prefer an update on the initial article, but don't know if they can put that back on the front page again.

 

[newjeruse]

Any word on any Ratchet QL or otherwise?

 

[The Dear Leader]

I started playing Infamous First Light and I legit can't take it serious with Dan Ryckert's face a literally every other Akuran enemy, it's low key ruining my experience.
