Nuuvem has Life is Strange pre-order for ~3.94 USD

It only says Episode 1 on the page, though. I was under the impression that it was only sold as a full series.

Edit: My mistake, Steam also has episode 1 separate from full series.

In other news, just bought Pier Solar too, thanks Deques for pointing that nice price to me.

I also like to point out that Pac-man Championship is great, buy it, people! And no, I'm not talking about nostalgia. I don't know what is it about pacman, it is walking simulator, when you think longer about it, but I still enjoy it immensely (><)
That's how you do walking sims

I kid, I kid

Pier - kinda reminds me of wild arms does it play anything like that - assuming you've played wild arms.

Great edition of Pacman was about to double dip on that yesterday, you've reminded me so might bite the bullet later today

Pacman DX is great and really satisfying. I only playing it sporadically though when I'm bored. That *spark spark spark*, and bullet-time are tight. Controlling it only with arrow pad is also neat (not like pacman need many control to begin with).

I just realized that there is game called PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures. Looks cool, wish listed.

Does Pacman have friends leaderboards like the 360 version?

There is a ghostly adventures 2 but its now on windows. My kids have it for their 3ds looks pretty neat.

AVADON 2: THE CORRUPTION -- MB-AF5039F4609BAEA9 - Taken by Catshade

 

[KenOD]

I don't think it was heavily advertised and it certainly didn't help that the first review was a negative one. It does look like a fun game from your screenshots though.

I'd actually love to play Pacman again, but DX just seems too...neon for my liking.

You can choose different skins, such as Dig Dug, to try and lessen some of the neon effect. Doesn't remove it all together, but helps some.

Still no RE though...

Yeah, I was waiting to see if the price would be a bit lower on Nuuvem for Resi. Life is Strange Full Season on GMG VIP seems to be a good deal atm for a bit under 14 USD.

I haven't played it yet, but from what I know about it, it's not like Wild ARMs, and I consider myself a fan of WA! How I would like a new WA game... I still think that WA5 "tetris" is one of the best minigames in any game ever too.

It has leaderboards inside a game only, global and friends ones. Leaderboards are a little glitchy and you'll notice that there are people that cheat even in pacman (><)
Amazing really

 

[Tizoc]

Happy B-day my RJD loving friend.

the leaderboards in pac-man ce dx+ are worthless to me because

not so stealth brag post? damn, you are good, I watched several of your runs, you really are good at it, also your kb probably don't suck as much as mine.
but calling everyone scrub? rude! You are aware that you aren't #1 in every category, at least not on my friend list (¬&#8255;¬)

 

[Casimir]

That's Kamiya's stock dismissal response. Kotaku or another 'journalist' site also fell for it. His "Do you eat shit?" response to one of Kotaku's sensationalist articles is still his best work.

I don't play that often because I don't have much of a challenge

you shouldn't use a keyboard for Pac-Man, you need the power of a controller!

Every time I set upon finishing off an Ass Creed I always get side tracked. I can't help it that when I get to a new area I need to sync the view point the go run around like a looney grabbing all the collectables, you never know if you'll be back here again in relation to the story.

Oh and Happy B'day Kurt Russell.

Launcelot du Lac and the "Sir" variation for both are valid answers, as for monsters it's either Ogopogo or Naitaka, the others are truly one answer only.

Spoiler

But I had no interest in them =P

Hahahaha fair enough. If I could muster the energy together to collate and giveaway all my spare keys I'd probably end up feathering them to a load of Football, Music, Film or booze related triva questions. Might have a lot of unclaimed stuff though.

Oh Kamiya, don't ever change. Well maybe not reply to every tweet under the sun as it can wreck my Twitter activity feed.

why are there so many indie multiplayer only games out there? "down to one" is what the player base will be two weeks after launch

 

[Water]

That review really got under my skin for some reason, why would that reviewer assume it is high budget game in the first place? Horrible review, says nothing about the game and complains about it being a cheap game?! reviewers... (><)

Arcade games tend to serve as a litmus test and quickly reveal a vast amount of game critics, including professionals, as utterly incompetent.
(And by "arcade" I'm not referring to "cheap and download-only", but ports of actual arcade games, and original games with designs that would suit actual arcade games.)
The typical awful review reveals that the reviewer never reached the conscious incompetence level of skill, and was simultaneously incapable of writing a review of any substance and too lacking in self-awareness to recognize that. Otherwise even such a review could have value to a newcomer to the genre in a "first impression" sort of way, but the awful reviewers tend to fundamentally misunderstand the design so badly - e.g. spamming continues and then complaining the game has "short playtime and no replayability" - that they are absolutely misleading, the equivalent of a man trying to review a book without recognizing there are more pages after the first one.

I'm curious, what specific review are you talking about? I didn't spot a link.

Ya, it is a tad too neony, but it's still a good ol' pac-man.

From the few games I played before on a friend's account, DX is very unlike the original. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise since I find good ol' Pac-Man boring. A masterpiece in its time, sure, and possibly the best videogame made before I was born, but has been quickly eclipsed by much better games in the same way as Wolfenstein 3D was.

 

[BadRamen]

No offense to the other game you posted, but this just spoke immediately to me. Especially when the t-rex hopped in the Jetsons-esque spacecraft!

 

[Water]

[derExperte]

Yeah, me too, seems to me like he was just banned out of spite because he said gaf moderation is inconsistent, it's not like he insulted anybody, dunno, don't wanna talk too much in case a mod bans me too just for voicing my opinion.

He called GAF's moderation 'a joke'. Also he talked about being banned before, according to Aeana that wasn't the case which could in turn mean that there's an alt-account in play. Dunno.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I remember during the early days of GL when a game needed like hundred thousands of votes to be even GL Air Bucaneers was GL. So you thought "Cool. The player base must be big."

I joined a MP game 1 week after the release and there was like 1 server with 3 players...

 

[Ozium]

if possible, of course. I just now realied that Arthea called Pac-Man a walking simulator... and I am completely bewildered

Arthea was talking about this review of Alphadia Genesis.

I remember that he was banned before. Strange.

 

[Zeknurn]

Down to One sounds like an interesting take on a competitive shooter. Battle Royale is probably one source of their inspirations.

this one
http://steamcommunity.com/id/TildenJack/recommended/323450/
how you actually give a game negative review and then praise its battle system, nothing makes sense in that review. This reviewer basically gave it negative review because it's a cheap game, i.e. no FF or Trails, for sure, but I'll be damned if I understand this.

which original you are referring to? Pacman is boring if you play it too long, in short sessions, it isn't.

I so don't like you now... and I can't help myself (><)
Wolf 3D is still one of greatest, I factor only fun I had with it, and DooM and Wold3D beat any modern shooter for me, personally! Well, except Unreal Tournament if we consider it a modern game (><)

 

[_hekk05]

I seem to remember him being banned before though? Maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me.

I didn't follow its development, but... woah, are the screens on GOG supposed to be of the remastered edition? Because I could almost swear it looks basically the same to my own old version of GF I re-played a year ago on ResidualVM.

I'm aware it's not a HD edition, but christ, look at the foam thingies:

They could have at least removed some jaggies and sharpened the texture (EDIT: of the 3D models)...

And damn, the UI icons look devious, like zero fucks were given while creating them.

Also, have they at least created a control system alternative to the awful tank one? I remember Tim Schafer talking about it, but I may be wrong, and the GOG page doesn't mention it.

All in all, I think hi-res characters, dynamic lighting and some commentary is barely worth it for people who never played it, but people like me who would have to double dip, well, nope.

Or just enough for the gaming media to write 'I saw this super awesome thing the other day but I'm not allowed to talk about it. So excited!!!'. Then it turns out to be nothing and the teasing toe rags do it again anyway because it drives traffic to their outlet.
