 Guacamelee! is a game developed by Drinkbox Studios. Released in April 2013 for the PS3 and PS Vita, it eventually saw a port on Windows in August later that year. It got very favorable reviews, even a couple of awards. The game was fun, fast paced, controled well, and generally anybody's complaint about the game itself was that it was too short. The game, if you didn't try to 100% it, only took about 3 hours to beat, but considering it's a Metroid-style game where you get upgrades hidden in nooks and crannies, it makes sense, since Metroid games are typically pretty short anyway. I won't be playing that version. Instead, I'll be playing the most recent version of the game, Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, released in July 2014 for pretty much any system that didn't have the original Guacamalee!. Not only does it have all the DLC that was released for Guacamelee!, but it also includes entirely new areas, enemies, and even an extra boss. It bumps up the game's length from about 3 hours to about 5 hours, so it's still pretty short, but not TOO short. I love this game, but it DOES have some issues, but none of them are really gameplay related. The background in some areas has a lot of memes and referential humor that I don't really like, and the game, despite being a bit longer, is still too short. Still though, it's a very, very good game that I have platinumed twice. Also please post cool Lucho matches, thanks. Episode 1: Let's Beat Up Some Nerds ... Youtube ... Polsy ...

Characters of Interest  Juan is an agave farmer, but when his not-quite-girlfriend is kidnapped by an evil undead charreda, he rushes to rescue her... and promptly gets killed within seconds. He then puts on a mysterious luchador mask and becomes a hero to the people, beating up nerds with skeletons like Kevin Sorbo.  I'm just putting Fray Ayayay here because I think his name is funny. He's not really that important, to be honest. He does have a unique character model though!  This is El Presidente's Daughter. No, she doesn't really get a name. She's Juan's subject of affections, so when she's kidnapped by a hella rude skeleton man, he tries to save her. Her current status is, and always will be, damsel in distress.  Carlos Calaca has kidnapped El Presidente's Daughter. Are you a bad enough dude to beat up this skeleton? Well, considering he killed you without even trying, probably not, no. What's even his deal, anyway?  Tostada has the amazing importance of being the co-op player's avatar. She appears for some cutscenes but because I'm playing alone, don't get used to seeing her. What's even her deal, anyway?  Jaguar Javier is a jaguar man, trained by Uay Chivo. He's now Calaca's right-hand  Uay Chivo is the source of the worst jokes in this game, and also all our special moves. Apparently he used to be a big deal. Obsessed with goats.  X'Tabay has a weird name I can't pronouce. She's also some sort of weather demigod and Calaca's girlfriend. Current status: Haha double entendres.  The Alebrije is a big demon cat or something. Current status: Bowser'd. Let's Lucha! Lucha Underground kalonZombie fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Nov 20, 2014 |

anilEhilated posted:I loved the regular version of this game, but couldn't be bothered to get any DLC, looking forward to the new areas. Honestly you're not missing out on much in the original game without the DLC. STCE is worth it for the extra areas and boss though.

rbakervv posted:You know what is more annoying then aged internet memes and pop culture references? Pointing out every meme and reference and then spending ten minutes bitching about each and every one. We've already got the second episode recorded and we do it there too, but I'll be sure we regin it in for the rest of the LP. Nalesh posted:Also, are you gonna show off any of the workshop costumes? Yup. Probably all of them, eventually.

In this update we keep complaining about the references and memes, but after this I promise we'll shut up about them entirely. You know our opinion on them by now. Episode 2: Welcome to Memetown ... Youtube ... Polsy ... Hosted .jpg) I've also updated the second post to include the characters we've met so far and a section for Lucha fights. Post some more of those!

Nalesh posted:I still want to see you do a tabletop lp someday, you sound like the best(horrible bastard) gm. Gotta steal that mimic idea myself. I had a Pathfinder Let's Play going on a few years ago. The LP died though, and the game was abandoned not too long after that second arc was finished. If I ever get enough suckers and free time I might consider something.

Woah now, I missed a week due to real life happening, but we're back to beating up skeletons and talking about m- oh right, I said we would stop that, and we did. Episode 3: Crab Segregation ... Youtube ... Polsy ... Hosted (Coming soon) .jpg) Shei-kun posted:Having recently discovered the shenanigans you can get into with Pathfinder (I have declared Agni Goat on far to many enemies and succeeded), I'd love to join up. I hate Pathfinder and most d20 systems with a passion these days, to be honest. If I were to do anything, it would likely be a Dungeon World game with a group I already know, but I have no plans to sit behind the screen anytime soon. I prefer being the player these days, but that always changes every couple of months.

Today we learn that Heave is the most terrible out of all of us and is willing to make the jokes we don't want to. Episode 5: You might be Tim Taylor. ... Youtube ... Polsy ...

If you want to watch it'll be at 9 PM EST at https://www.hitbox.tv/kalonZombie .

Chocolate oranges are a Christmas thing over here in the US for some reason. I like the dark ones decent enough, despite not being a big fan of oranges.

Today we cover a boss fight and the el Inferno DLC. Episode 9 - This is the most convoluted KFC I've ever seen ... Youtube ... Polsy .jpg) CHALLENGE TIME Record yourselves going through these challenges. If you can beat the high scores of a bunch of them, then you'll get some prizes. Ape and Heave will fill you in the specifics of their criteria, but if you can beat at least 10 of my scores, you'll get a free copy of your choice of Monkey Island Special Edition, Poker Night At The Inventory, or Frozen Synapse Prime. kalonZombie fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jan 22, 2015 |

Neige posted:1. Talking to Xavier Jaguar after his defeat leads to a bunch of dumb cat puns. You missed 'em... 1) DAMMIT. 2) There are technically 7, but one of them is from beating the final boss. Once you get 6 you get a special reward I will show off in the 100% video coming next week. 3) No, there's no room. Otherwise the challenge would be trivial.
