You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Merry Christmas guys! And Happy Hanukkah and all the other holidays I'm surely forgetting.

This month we come together to celebrate games, sales, and that mythical sighting: the Last Guardian is being released. I think? I hope?

Talk about it all here, in the chat thread!

PS What game do you want most for Christmas this year?

Thank you! I hope you have a good day too!

I think the year's been bad, but at least for games it's been good - I mean, Doom came out this year and it was good, and the new Pokemon, and FF15, and mygod, those were all actually good instead of being flops. :yeah:

Not to mention the indie scene - Brigador's fantastic, and the Caves of Qud guys are doing well enough to work on it full-time, and Crypt of the Necrodancer is getting an expansion, and.... there's a lot of good going on here! I love it!

Saints Row 4 has Steam Workshop support now, sounds like a great excuse to play though How The Saints Save Christmas again during the holiday season :toot:

I'm not looking forward to any of those games :(

But it's okay because I still have tons of Pokemon to play, and I've been working through late and postgame stuff in Tactics Ogre :)

I don't know if anyone else is familiar with the Legends of Localization book series but the second one, about Earthbound, came out on November 23rd. I ordered one as soon as I found out the other day and I'm very excited for it to arrive, the first book about The Legend of Zelda, was great. And the next one is going to be about the original Super Mario Bros, I look forward to reading it in a few years when it comes out.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Shadow Tactics is apparently Commandos done well and also there's The Last Guardian so it should be enough to carry us into the new year.

As for X-mas games I'm looking forward to finally getting the new Hitman or maybe the new Deus Ex. There is also a group of indie games that are on my shortlist: The Witness, The Beginner's Guide, Firewatch, Inside - I'll see if any of them drop in price substantially. Dishonored 2 would be nice but I'll wait for a sale.

New Hitman is really really good. Now that all the content is actually out it may actually be the best game in the series, as good or better than Blood Money.

The Beginner's Guide is fascinating, but be warned that it took me 90 minutes to experience the entire thing, including breaks for cat feeding (IRL) and staring at things. I wouldn't pay full price for it.

fake edit: Good god, as I booted up Steam to check that playtime, Titan Quest dropped another update! Only a 4MB patch, but still! Games this old aren't supposed to keep getting updates!

Yea but I cannot get over the "embarrassment of riches" problem -- so much stuff vying for your attention, so little time...it's easy to become disengaged and just play Overwatch.
