I think it's criminal that people are stupid enough to actually buy shit like that.

Well, if it's not your cup of tea, sure - but if you like that stuff, why not? My only complaint is how damn expensive (and how low quality) the figurines are. For what they're charging, they should look and be constructed much better.

 

From what I've seen the figures aren't really THAT much ($5-$12 on average)... some of the "giants" seem to be a little more but they're not terrible and they also sell bundles that seem to be a way better deal. They don't seem cheaply made from what I can tell, I imagine part of the reason they can be pricey is because of the microchips in them as well. Either way, it's her money and she enjoys it, and I really haven't minded playing it with her so I got nothing against it. I also see how this would be a truly great game for younger ones and family to play together so I think for what it is, it's pretty cool.

 

Also picked up Need For Speed: Rivals today

I feel like such a douche for promoting this... but... hi... hello... a game I'm doing the music and sound design for is on Kickstarter and things are going pretty well. Elijah Wood and Patton Oswalt

Just played through Metroid Zero Mission, my first Metroid game ever. Will pick up Dread on Friday. Retropie -> Pi2Scart -> B&O CRT... 240p is lovely indeed. ❤️??

yeah i don't get the hate. it's the same price as an action figure of the same size, and it does more than just action figure things.

currently playing FTL in anticipation of the update.

 

also just scored Papers, Please and Gone Home, can't wait to check those out.

My cousin spoke fondly of Papers, Please last time I talked to him. I added it to my Steam Wishlist just in case.

 

Started playing the first Borderlands game last night for the first time in about two years. I'm surprised at how well it runs on my underpowered, outdated laptop. That's the perk of cell animation innit.

DAYZ STANDALONE,so frustrating but so addictive,don,t think a zombie has killed me yet,but plenty of humans and ladders/rooftops have!,also beware rotten bananas/oranges/kiwis!

I was thinking of getting this, but it's still in development so I don't know if I want to pay 24 for it yet.

 

 

forgot to add: should i? or is it best to wait until it's finished?

 

i,d get it now if your interested,it already looks and handles better,i,m using a combo of gamepad/keyboard which works well,its great now and should only get better,when any quirks do appear,consider it as training for when the full version is released in a year or so,checkout youtube for some really good guides and settings tips

This was the cheapest Skylanders figure I could find on Walmart.com ($9.96):

While this is not a bad paint job/overall construction, I could see at say 10 bucks + a pop, this could be an expensive hobby. I think it was the Disney Infinity characters I was more disappointed with in terms of price/quality. It's an innovative idea, for sure. Nintendo really should try something like this with Pokemon (I think they did, but it didn't take off).

My brother used to get these - think they were probably about a fiver (and that was back in the early 90s) so £10 for something like that I don't think is too bad (though don't actually have a clue what they are !)

Okay, I just killed Mom. How many endings are there?

 

Even though I beat it, it says my "Mom Kills" are at zero...

Oh shit, that reminds me. Do you guys remember those toys that would come in a small bag and in order to get the monster toy inside you had to drop it into water and watch the bag dissolve? That was cool as shit. I got two and both bags had the same monster inside. That kinda sucked.

 

 

EDIT:

Oooooh shit, I just found them...

I'll say I "beat" Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. I got to 99 percent complete and got tired of waiting for the community even of that fucking White Whale I need to kill. So I'm moving on to the next game.

 

I decided to play Call of Duty: Ghost - the campaign. Its decent. I am still playing it and I enjoy the gameplay.

13 endings if memory serves. Zero mom kills because in end cutscene you see that he was merely writing a story about him killing mom, in reality she's just about to walk through the door.

 

I recommend a USB XBox 360 controller. Improved my gameplay and skill tenfold.

Beat it again just now. You really have to wait for the perfect storm of powerups. Kind of frustrating to start off the game with a pill that subtracts a heart.

Congrats! Have you tried Spelunky or Rogue Legacy?

 

 

 

Great quick death fun.
