HAPPY 1 YEAR CLOSER TO BEING EVEN MORE SHIT AT VIDEO GAMES DAY.

I'm already well past the age where my reaction times have decreased.

 

[ultimax]

Thought on new avatar?

 

[Tako]

Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

It'll be fine. I'm barely home and I'm always on time with my bills, I don't smoke and I'm great with kids. Besides me and her are really close

 

[jack_package_200]

Feels good

HAPPY 1 YEAR CLOSER TO BEING EVEN MORE SHIT AT VIDEO GAMES DAY.

Personally I find that to be a myth, it's just people getting lazier as they get older so they don't try as much as they use to, and from all of that laziness it ends up being harder to absorb all the knowledge they need to get good and then when they suck, they cop out by saying "Oh I'm too old now"

Oh yeah, I was just joking around lol. If I took everything Pat said to heart, I'd probably be bald too.

 

[Zenfalcia]

Curious, has anyone noticed this yet?

I have a feeling Matt is both very excited and very conflicted.

Yeah, it got posted here before. You probably weren't there when it was posted.

I did

DC or Seattle, Washington?

Seattle Washington

Oh so guys, some minor changes are coming my way in a few months. I'm planning on moving in with my best friend's wife, that way I can help her out and keep me from being so isolated and reclusive. Then I'll be moving to Washington with her and the kiddos that way we'll all be closer to my best friend. I've saved some money and I'm already looking at apartments and for a job there

Nice. Sounds good.

Eventually there's a point where reaction times and reflexes are worse. What exact age that is? Ehhhhh.

 

[Neol]

They're all great, so you should watch the other two. Lock Stock was Guy Ritchie's first film, and Rock'N'Rolla is really good. They all follow the same type of formula, so you know what you're getting into.

Sounds good. Can always go for a good crime movie here and there.

 

[Foxhound286]

For those who've watched it, how is House of Cards? I heard it was great, and I love Kevin Spacey, so i'm interested. I just figured i'd get some of your opinions.

I really like the music. Don't tell me I'm going to get sold on Persona 5 because of the music.
The last time somthing similar happened was when I watched the Skyrim trailer, hype oozed out of me back then.

I think that might be my favorite thing anyone has said in awhile.

Really it just means Pat cares less about games than he use to.

But I like to call it the Giant Bomb effect, where your favorite Japanese anime you know every detail of and theorized about constantly, slowly starts to become that one chinese cartoon from taiwan you don't care to try and understand anymore.

Maybe you will. Do you like Acid Jazz?

How old are you know? Well it's that age. Science proved it, you can't contest it, Science.

It's real good. Kevin Spacey wants a PS Vita™ and loves him some Killzone 3™ on his PS3™ and his Sony™ headphones.

 

[Okingjrr]

I like Jazz and most, if not all, of its sub genres.

Why does Liam refuse to put Toadstool in his fucking party!?

 

[DoktorEvil]

Why does Liam refuse to put Toadstool in his fucking party!?

Because they don't know/appreciate Peach.

Not putting a healer in your party in any RPG is fucking weird to me.

Well obviously, but that's irrelevant on the scale we're talking, my grandfather in his 50's was better at some (Mostly racing) games than I was at 11, so the degrade in reaction time and reflexes is negligible from a gaming standpoint.

It seems that Frank Underwood and I would get along swimmingly.

Practice is always most important, but you're gonna get wildly different answers on how much age affects different people. You can't really just use anecdotal evidence.

I don't know, I did just fine in Arcanum without a healer, we had a dog with expert Melee and Dodge training, a thousand year old undead skeletal warrior that had flesh restored through Dragon Blood, a smartass necromancer from a wealthy dynasty who raised the dead for shits and giggles, a Dwarf with a clan complex and mass murderer that had to be banished to another realm just because he was too awesome to be killed.

No one ever really did much of any healing.

Man, I sure wish it was tomorrow already!

Damn. The only reason I noticed is because one of the Best Friends posted it on the Facebook page.

This thread moves at the speed of sonic light, man...

All the Persona games have great music. At the very least, the latter games have great music, can't speak for 1 and 2.

I always differentiated the two by saying that Toadstool is a light brunette while Peach is blonde.

I played SMRPG and like 90% of FFIII without a dedicated healer. Hell, I find the idea of a party member whose SOLE purpose is healing really debilitating in JRPGs. The dynamic changes when you move to an SRPG format, though. In those, I'm fine with that.

Uh question? My does Geno Whirl exist???

Well they don't really need one yet. They are burning through a ton of items but money seems to be a non issue in the game, they would rather waste their FP doing Geno's specials poorly

 

[DoktorEvil]

It's the best single damage move in the game, once you get the timing down.

It can go for 9999 damage.

Their FP management is so very poor here. Fuck bowser, put Mallow in and let him cast spells on multiple enemies!

 

[Ilvocare]

Uh question? My does Geno Whirl exist???

It exists as the point of both extremes: one of, if not the weakest spell in the game when you don't land the timed hit, but when you DO, then literally everything that isn't a boss eats shit.

Spoiler

Also the game straight up lies about where the correct point to time it is.

Where was the timing again? It's before the whirl hits the enemy?

no but Mallow is garbage tho

It bugs me as well but no where near the level the Nuzlocke achieved. As long as they keep talking about how their friends are secretly just packages of hot dogs in sweaters and other bullshit I'm entertained.

See, that's the lie the game feeds you. The REAL timing is right before the whirl leaves the screen.

I got some fan translations of the Haruhi light novels from my local anime store and I don't know whose fault it is, but there are grammar mistakes and the dialogue feels awkward. This is an excerpt from the first one:

"Hey hey."
I casually turned my head around, with that airy smile all over my face.
"The stuff you said in your intro, were you being serious?"
With her arm crossed on her chest, lips sealed together, Suzumiya Haruhi kept her posture, then
stared right into my eyes.
"What 'stuff in my intro'?"
"The stuff about the aliens."
"Are you an alien?"
She looked very serious.
"... No."
"If you are not, then what do you want?"
"... No, nothing."
"Then don't talk to me. You are wasting my time."

Does this seem kind of awkward to anyone? Like, some slight mistranslations?

Also, that feel when you get Yuffies Ultimate weapon in FFVII w/ 4X cut and do like 9999 damage each hit. Just demolish everyone.

Goddamn I love that game.

Giant Bomb is definitely a lot more jaded when it comes to games than the best friends are, but I really enjoy their personalities, and listening to Jeff's take on gaming can either range from really insightful to absolutely hilarious. Its the personalities of the crew that'll either make or break it for you since its pretty reflective of that website in general.

Not putting a healer in your party in any RPG is fucking weird to me.

When you realize that having a damage dealer instead of a healer in a three member party is actually viable because of how hard you wreck enemies in battles before they can even deal that much damage.

Xenoblade was the point I realized this and it was magical.

That's pretty common for translations of light novels, since the translators aren't that skilled and they probably don't have an English major editing the stuff to make it sound good.

Also, LN's fucking suck at dialogue tagging, so there's that too.
