I've been playing a lot of the Wipeout collection this week and it's really good but man it makes me appreciate all the goofy characters in F-Zero. The gameplay is great/I'm having a lot of fun but it feels kind of soulless

Wipeout does have from what I remember some good world building the companies that sponsor the racing machines/builds them?

In comparison to F-Zero where we only have the supposedly nefarious EAD development group.

He wasn't on stage, like 30 seconds of the game's art was shown in a montage of indie game footage.

Oh ok that's not anywhere near as bad as I was expecting then. When I read that they used e3 to promote it, I was expecting more than a montage.

Doesn't excuse the dev by any means but it's like...well, touching a hot stove is better than getting lit on fire

Yeah there's the different companies like Feisar/AG Systems/Qirex and some neat flavour text in the description of each machine but I guess I wish they did more with it (But I'm still on Wipeout 2048, maybe it's different in HD/Fury)

But then I also kind of enjoy that the game is just racing without anything getting in the way so idk what I want

So hey, what's everybody up to today? I finished up all the planning stuff for my fiancee's surprise birthday party. A friend helped me get her some gifts. I wish I could have gotten some more but I'm sure she'll like what she's got coming her way. She'll be receiving these

FirstAidKite posted:

A friend helped me get some stuff for my fiancee for her birthday, specifically all 3 Exit The Game escape games.







Her birthday is on the 14th so she's not going to get the gifts until then, but I'm hoping she'll enjoy these as much as I think she'll enjoy them :) Just a matter of getting people together to play it maybe. I'm sure it'll be fun. Not sure which one to start off with though.

as well as one of the few skylanders figures that actually looks cool



If I had the cash, I'd get her the DLC she wanted for the Lego Avengers game, or the bayonetta smash DLC since that's the only dlc she's missing for that game, or a few more gamehouse-published games on steam, but I know she'll be happy if only because she won't be expecting anything really because she knows I don't have the ability to get her anything on my own.


So that's all that's happening for me right now. How about the rest of you? Anything interesting planned or fun going on? Play any neat or bad or weird games? See any movies, listen to any songs, read any books?

Got myself into Stardew Valley. Having fun managing my farm.
Mostly working. Managed to get my boss to agree to let me work 1 hour less each day with the same pay. Don't know how I pulled this off but it somehow worked.

Question: how many people saw Quote's head wrong in the original cave story?



For whatever reason I always saw it as a profile view, the green bit on the right being the nose, the green at the left being an antenna, the blue line closest to the left being an ear, and the blue closest to the right being his only visible eye.

Yep, and the girl in the upper left corner is the main character from Code of Princess (if you remember that game)

Edit: Honestly the game looks pretty underwhelming, but it was cool to see those two in a fighting game

Thankfully you don't have to be actually fat to be fat, dumb, and happy. I'm pretty sure only cats are required to be fat to be that, according to my grandma.

Anyways, my plans for the day are to go to my local cinema and see the new Alien movie and then see the Sony Press Conference. Will today be a day of joy, horrible disappointment or and interesting combination of both? Only time will tell!

I've been wanting to play code of princess, idgaf if it's considered not-great or anything. They'd better include the rest of the CoP cast in there though :P Sister Hel and the egyptian cat merchant and the necromancer in particular

Well, I need to lose weight and I'm stupid as hell, but I'm going to need someone to explain this "happiness" concept to me.
