And then would have been tagless. Snipping Tool is pretty much the same dealio and to be fair if you're really lazy Print Screen and Paint is a combo that's easy peazy, been around since Windows 3 and works just as well. Though can cause headaches if you use multiple monitors.

Oh, that I have... and apparently I've already used the key, haha. I did miss BAGB4, though.
so you have RFG then...stop tricking me with your outback voodoo
also The Howler key added to Indieroyale Debut 13, but not to Groupees Build a Greenlight 3 (yet)

So I've redone this battle in Grofheim in Banner Saga about 3 times, trying to keep this one guy alive that dies in the dialog afterwards. I google it and he's supposed to die there. (proven by him living through this latest time yet dying post-battle anyway)
With that out of the way.... onwards I go.

but...but... games get lost in the shuffle now
I havent even heard of Crea I think, but good for them
Thanks for all the impressions! Seems like no one really enjoyed the RTS part of the game, I hope going into it with that knowledge beforehand will make it a bit less jarring
Also thanks for the headphones warning, I will keep that in mind.
I have this problem too, though now I can decide what I'm going to play just fine. The problem is, Gaf always detract my attention from the games.
That sales were up during the Summer Sale is rather surprising. Just goes to show that word of mouth is important.

Well, that's why you do another playthrough!
Happy Bday Copons. Hoping I wont spoil anything this time
Btw. I am selling all my cards now just to buy some waifu Agarest Zero cards and to get some waifu background.
Happy 30th Birthday Copons! I hope you will have a kick-ass week!
Happy birthday
Yo thanks guys! Love y'all!
You're almost better than my grandma calling at 7.30 AM for the first cheer of the morning.
yawn
sorry for the late answer, but I didn't want to go too off topic and all that, but then I said fuck it, I won't be 30 ever again
AND, a separate thanks to Shadownet and Yakkue, for good
but undisclosed

I enjoyed the RTS parts
Well that and I really dug the multiplayer. In fairness it's not really an RTS but more closer to something like Pikimin mixed in with Overlord style minions. You do get special class units that fulfil certain roles like buffing and healing as well as the usual rock, paper, scissors type of units. Instead of having a cursor and complex nested menus to navigate to command the battle you are an active part of it, as in you can be on the ground in a third person hack and slash kind of way or fly up high to move around freely and get an overview of the field.
I think it was that it came out of nowhere for most people that they don't like that aspect of the game. It starts off like a third person action romp, then suddenly turns into a semi open world adventure before getting the rug pulled from under your feet and becoming an action-strategy game.
For me it gets more stick than it deserves but I can understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Is that what you're supposed to do? I keep restarting cause I'd be like "oh my god shat have I done." *click* restart! Lol
Yo thanks guys! Love y'all!

Its never off topic to talk about a fellow gafer's birthday
You never have to apologize for that.

Well, I haven't played TWAU or TWDS2, but I'd assume that they're pretty much the same as season one of The Walking Dead that way. I did like 3 playthroughs of that, partly to see what changed (not a ton), and partly because it ate my saves one day. :/
Being Asshole Lee was fun though.

Nuh-uh.
I mean, I knew it was half RTS, my problem with it is that is a sub-par RTS!
On paper it should be great. You order troops around and then descend on the field kicking asses firsthand. Amazing indeed. And the troops are so cool, fucking roadies with their amplifiers, they're too good to be true.
But then the execution felt super sloppy to me.
Ordering troops is not even close to how satisfying is Pikmin (to link to your example) and the fact that during battles switching between hacknslash and RTS isn't instant (you need to start flying, find a good spot to have a full view of what's going on, and then run to where you're needed, etc.), which should be a cool and "realistic" thing, in fact slows down the battles a lot, to the point that I usually tried to just fly above the battle and never going down to avoid that.
As in a boulder rolling down to hell, gaining momentum minute after minute? Yeah I guess so!
oh look at me, using words learned from Portal that I don't even know what they mean

No, no, no. ShareX uses one hotkey (Ctrl+Printscreen) and a mouse selection (rectangular for instance), and what you get is the image (so same as Snipping Tool, or PrintScreen and then paste in Paint) but more importantly a link! The upload to imgur is made seamlessly (this can be toggle off of couse). If you have to do several screen captures, or if you want to to save time, the number of keys pressed, the number of windows to manage, etc., this is the tool to go with, not Snipping Tool, etc.
If you want to upload several screen captures, you will be far more efficient with ShareX. If you want a specific workflow, adding a watermark, whatever, shareX does it. Uploading images on NeoGAF is less of a pain.
I'm being nice Wolf right now but then again in this kind of game. When you think you're being nice, it can still turn out bad. TellTale really crafted a great genre for themselves.
I'm going to try asshole Wolf after this

When does the last episode of Wolf come out?

Oh don't get me wrong it doesn't hold a candle to something which is a proper fully fledged RTS like a Warcraft, Startcraft, Company of Heroes etc. and certainly doesn't offer any tactical flexibility other than rushing certain units first to cripple your opponents resources and win by default. The SP segments are pretty poor compared to the fun you could have in MP but even then it's not up to par with more focused strategy games. That and the micro and macro management of units doesn't register and your left with your guys scratching their arse when they should be getting stuck in. For me though when it works it's was a different change of pace and events to what I would consider a strategy game.
Though you will see some people enjoy all parts of the game bar the strategy segment. For me the massive open world was really under used and despite my love of collectables it felt tedious to go round collecting them, even with a suped up vehicle in the end. Still at least visiting Ozzie for upgrades always brought a chuckle.
It's out tomorrow.

My god! The hell is it with Snow?
Spoiler for those who haven't play yet. I'm up to episode 3 I think.
Rant over.

just confronted Crane at the strip bar. I said one little thing and Snow goes off on me about how I have to control my temper and that it can't be like what happened at Greenleaf again, that I need to respect the Office and her as the leader. YET she was the one who wanted to burn down the tree at Greenleaf and I was the one stopping it. Damn chick is cray cray. Either that or this story got some inconsistency.
Rant over.
time to play 2-5 then
tomorrow
I really grew to dislike her character after episode 2. Don't know if she's like that in the comics too

I won Wolf Among Us during some 100 game giveaway on facebook 1 year ago with the help of GAF.
Every day they gave away 100 copies or sth. like that. And every day they were gone after about 1 second.

well - it's pretty much Minecraft in space
I personally like it MUCH more than Minecraft - there already is a lot of cool stuff in there and they literally update it every week adding really substantial things each time

Having just finished ep. 3 last night, the thing I'm not liking about it
is that there is not many dialog options when confronting Crane that makes him appear as a suspect or someone who knows what's going on, and that Bibsy can mainly refer to him as the murderer. Since ep. 1 I've not suspected neither the Tweedles or Woodsman as being the murderers, but rather they know something that can help us find the truth.
I don't like Telltale's 'choice' concept since it doesn't seem to change shit in the story's progression.
They're fun to experience still though.
Yeah she was cute at first but.. Damn she got worst.
But you know who's still gorgeous?
Nerissa<3 man, hot damn.
I got Wolf from there too, still haven't played it XD
