There was a point back in the day where everytime was spent trying to figure out how to survive Shadowgate. I had the NES version at home, and my classroom at the time had an AppleIIGS, so alot of the time when everyone else was number munching, I was still figuring out Shadowgate. Thankfully my teacher at the time was pretty cool about it so I never got in trouble playing a real game in class lol.

I got up to the LK+LP blocking part and gave up after 15 minutes or so. :X I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!

For that, you actually have to block. Occasionally the dude will attack, and if you're within a certain range near him, you do a blocking animation. Moving back isn't enough.
Also, I'm using a 360 controller, and the bumpers and triggers are mapped to those combinations, LP+LK, LP+HP, etc. So maybe using that would help.
I got to the cancelling the super into the max super, and that had me stumped. You have to do the command for the max super as you're doing the animation for the first super, and I was like what, how, I cant move the stick that quickly.
Then I looked it up and since the motions for the end of the super and the beginning of the max super are the same, they counted for both, so I had less motions to make than I thought.
I will never have the focus of mind to do cancels like that in an actual match, but I felt accomplished for learning.

King is the only character I can actually use in KOF. Though I did like the army female with the crazy hair. But she's a charge character and I'm just not quick enough with them.
It could be improved by removing the vocals from the songs, especially Rules of Nature.
Man, I want to agree with you as I think the song is kinda sub-Linkin Park nonsense but it just works SO WELL with what's going on that this is a bridge I cannot cross. Also, the music during the Mistral fight was cool was the shiiiiiiiiit.
Off-topic, but I get married in 33 hours! I am so beyond excited right now that I don't even know how to cope.

please.... just go.
Huh, didn't realize there were charge characters in the game...no wonder i couldn't do anything with her.
Are you just trying to start a fight, or what?
Congratulations! Best of luck to you and your future spouse.

I can't even agree to that after all of my complaints.
I don't think you quite understand what rules of nature is.

I agree. The most memorable music moments in games for me have lyrics with them.
Well when it concerns one of the best OSTs of recent times....

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me

Leona.
She's a lot of fun to use and one of my favorite characters in the series. Unfortunately she's garbage in XIII. Probably the worst character in the game.
Nier best ost has vocal in it too.

Apparently my favorite characters being garbage tier is just a requirement. Happens to me in so many fighting games .
How does the original compare to Shadowgate 64? That's the only one I've gotten to play over the years.

I feel your pain. I have the same problem with beat em' up characters.
it's not a necessity for me to enjoy an ost but i totally appreciate it being there
i'm always expecting songs with lyrics to show the seams of the looping but they're usually really well done so it's very nice when it breaks your expectations
wish more games would actually do licensed music in smart ways
spec ops was filled with this and it was effective as fuck
i give my life
not for honor but for youuuuuuuuuuu
yeah, nier ost is godly
the gibberish-speak thing they came up with was also all kinds of genius in so many levels
I'm playing To the Moon and the feels are coming on strong. It's gonna end up crushing me, isn't it?
The original and Beyond Shadowgate(TurboGrafx CD) are so much better than 64.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The original Shadowgate is a point and click adventure game, whereas Shadowgate 64 was kind of a 3D first person adventure game so it's somewhat hard to compare.
*swoon* God I wish the disc release of the OST was sequenced better. Those songs are SO DAMN GOOD.

Oh yes!
Ah, okay. Just watched the side by side trailer on Steam to see the difference. Looking forward to this new version for sure!
I need another boss battle like that.
Congratulations. Remember to drink copious amounts of alcohol prior to the ceremony.
On second thought, you probably shouldn't do the latter.
Oh goddamn yes they are. I went into that game completely blind, and when the DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T LEARNED MORE ABOUT RIVER
autism stuff
When you're done feel free to PM me if you want to and I will totally talk about how I bawled like a baby. =)
Wait, are you saying I should just get drunk and skip the ceremony? =P
But the way the songs were mixed so the vocals only came in during the climax of any given fight was one of the many things that are amazing about that game.
what is f.lux

Changes your computer's colour display based on the time of day and your geographic coordinates to reduce eye strain.
Huh. Might have been posted, but Civilization: Beyond Earth is 43% off on GMG, or £22.50, with voucher "01S6ZC-JVSB28-JRW7X4" (25% discount + 25% voucher). That's quite a large discount on a pre-order. (Of course, the full price is £40 which a bit high - a boxed copy is no more than £27 on Amazon.)
It makes your computer monitor or tv whichever you use dimmer during nighttime so it doesnt hurt or strain your eyes
Thank you kindly! My poor fiancee is dealing with bridesmaid drama right now so I may be buying her the Burial at Sea expansions to play on my laptop...which of course means buying that three-pack first. =P

Did you play BL1?
The content there is good but it depends on how much of a BL fan you are. Some people play the campaign and that more than enough content. Others finished that and need more.
If you've never played BL its gonna come down to how much you like loot.
No, but BL are games that I wanted to try and didn't find the opportunity so far. I might get the first too since it's cheap. Or just GOTY BL2. Currently I have BL2 and BL1 in my cart. It's strange that the first is more expensive than the non GOTY version though.
One of my friends has been pressuring me to get BL2 to play with him and I finally broke down today and did it. And I had a principled stance for not supporting Gearbox and everything. Blah. I'm weak.

ITS A FREE WEEKEND FOR BL2 PLAY IT FIRST THAT WAY AND DECIDE
I will say that the sheer amount of content you get with the GOTY BL2 is well worth the asking price if you like it.

Was trying to play RE Revelations, and I started the game on Infernal since I've already beat the 3DS version. It adds tons of enemies right at the start of the game, and each one is a bullet sponge. I think I'm supposed to run away and dodge their attacks, but the dodge mechanic if fucking random in this game. When I actually try to use it it never works, but sometimes I dodge attacks without even wanting to. This feels so bad after playing RE6.
