I do not think Alpha Protocol is a very good game, but it's still worth a dollar because there's some legit cool stuff that it does and that's worth seeing.

Bahahaha. Witcher 3 can be loving hilarious at times. This priest tried to to kill me after I refused to take his bribe. He's like "Three against one, we should be fine, witcher or not." And then in my first swing I cut the fucker in half.

Also, holy gently caress the faces in this game are probably the most amazingly expressive faces I've seen.

I've heard it is pretty easy compared to some of the end-game stuff from the phone game.

I've been playing it for four hours it rules

Also the endgame phone stuff is less hard then it is an insane grind that will boardfuck you constantly, and all the freemium barriers they've removed or changed makes it less of a grindy, burnout inducing ragefest

I love how the Witcher lore just sort of solves the Elder Scrolls "You're literally the greatest wizard on the continent but you still do poo poo jobs for local mob bosses and no one knows who you are" problem by making it canon that going around doing jobs is just what Witchers do. It lets you be this super famous dude that NPCs react to while still being a small enough guy that they don't feel bad asking you to do some job. Plus you're a weird mutant so most people hate you and are dicks, giving Geralt a reason to be an rear end in a top hat right back at them.

Also I killed a wyvern that was 6 levels higher than me and could two-shot me today. It took like 15 minutes and I almost died when he was on his last invisible pixel of health because Quen ran out a split second before I got hit and almost gave me a heart attack. Game's pretty good...

Yeah, after my really bad addiction to it on iOS, I'm really craving to play it again.

For the new 3ds, doesn't it not come with a power adapter? So I'd have to drop another $20 on that?

Also, 3ds pad question: does it have a tutorial with a free egg spin that can give you any creature (like on iOS)? Also, is it a 100% offline game or is there any online functionality? Will there be godfests?

NieR Occomata
Jan 18, 2009

Glory to Mankind.

Pad z is a straight up Pokemon style rpg on 3ds

There's 0 premium transactions, none, there's no egg machine and no rolling

There are no godfests because it looks like gods now come as evolutions of weaker monsters; I literally found whatever evolves into Horus about an hour or so into the game

Monster skills don't have cool downs and instead use a generic skill points bar you accumulate from matches, which accumulates faster the higher number of combos you attain, it's an interesting if different system

So far the only god I know 100% is in there is Horus I haven't seen any others

It's 100% offline I dunno if you can even send yourself as a helper over wifi to other dudes because as far as I can tell it only has streetpass

I added the RSS feed for it to itunes(yes I know itunes is bad) but only the mic check one shows up. Will it update in a little bit to have the first episode, or what, is it because it's a premium thing? Never had a premium podcast in itunes before so I'm not sure if it messes up somehow.

The file name doesn't have an MP3 extension so iTunes and the Podcasts app can't play it anyway.

Also they're continuing the trend of putting the show notes in a place that's completely invisible to both podcast apps and RSS feeds.

AND MY SONG IS...
I added the feed from the website for the premium Beastcast feed and the Mic Check is still the only episode up. Looks like I'ma have to sub to both feeds for now.

edit: oh this is going to be a case where they only upload to the premium feed when they have an advertiser, isn't it. I really hate the way GB handles their podcast feeds. I've sad it before but a premium member should have an option to get one feed for everything the website puts up if they want it. At worst I shouldn't have to sub to both feeds to make sure I get the podcast every week. Why not upload it to the premium side whether or not there is an advertiser?

edit 2: \/\/\/ or maybe that. i'll check it out. \/\/\/
