someone help me work out the joke in 'epic storederlands' i'm still busy

Attention Epic Game Store Gamers, Randy Pitchford is in great danger and he needs YOUR help to fund Borderlands 3. To do this, he needs some lawyers and a get out of jail free card. To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the three numbers on the back, and the expiration month and date. But you gotta be quick so that Randy can protect his usb drives and magic shows!

Thinking about it further, how is he able to hold his swords and yo-yos? Those spiky growths that some call “arms” don’t seem to have the flexibility required to grasp objects. Does he secrete some kind of sticky substance that he then uses to glue his weapons to his extremities?

There actually is a really cool scientific way for malleable, simple shapes to pick up and hold items, you can make one yourself out of a balloon and some coffee grounds. Basically the "hand" pushes up against the object while the inner material is softened and then the material is hardened through a suction force so that the "hand" and its grip hardens around the object so that it can then pick the object up and throw it around.

every single thing about metal gear rising legitimately worked. It still blows me away that the game even exists. Probably the greatest spinoff game ever made.

Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't it pretty much given to Platinum as a bunch of stuff for them to put together into a playable, releasable form? I know I read that somewhere but I don't actually know if it is true or not.

I was trying to think of a spinoff I liked more than the main series and I straight up can't think of many spinoffs I've played, period

Can Bomberman technically be counted as a spinoff series since it's a followup to but is very different from Lode Runner?

Joke answer: Ace Combat as a spinoff of Galaga and DigDug

Real answer depending on how you define spinoff:

Donkey Kong as a game splintered off into several different lines of games and you can argue that some of those would be considered spinoffs.

Donkey Kong (Arcade) -> Mario Bros (Console) -> Mario Land (Handheld) -> Wario Series
Donkey Kong (Arcade) -> Donkey Kong (Gameboy) -> Mario vs Donkey Kong (GBA) -> Mario vs Donkey Kong but now it's Lemmings instead of Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong (Arcade) -> Donkey Kong Country/DKC Returns (Console)

Hell, you could almost sorta kinda call Donkey Kong (Arcade) a spinoff of Popeye (Arcade).

Typing of the Dead and Rune Factory are also good spinoff games.

And the entirety of the Mystery Dungeon series is one big spinoff of Dragon Quest 4

Oh right duh Final Fantasy too.

Final Fantasy begat the Tactics Series, the Mana series (I think, I'm not actually sure if Final Fantasy Adventure was just given that name for brand recognition or if it was meant as a sorta spinoff title), the SaGa series (same deal as before, idk if it was actually intended as a kind of spinoff or if it was just called Final Fantasy Legend as a marketing move), Crystal Chronicles series, Theatrhythm, and there are probably others.


What came first, Fire Emblem or Famicom Wars? They're so similar that I assume one of them had to have been a spinoff of the other from purely a design standpoint rather than theme/aesthetic, but I'm not sure.

The Shining series is weird too what with the first game being a first person dungeon crawler that got its own dungeon crawling sequels but also got a series of strategy rpgs, action rpgs, and diablo-style loot games.

Would the Castlevania SotN-style games count as spinoffs?

Hard Corps is one of the best Contra games imo and I loved the CYOA nature of it and how each character had a different weapon loadout.

Also, what even are those humble bundle books, like, are they strategy guides or are they just collections of interviews and design docs or what

A tiny carpentry tack sitting point up made its way onto the bottom of my right shoe today (well, yesterday, but whatever) while I was outside and it ended up pricking a few points on my right heel.


Those areas feel warm now and are tender. It's cleaned out, I'm hoping it doesn't become an infection, probably gonna get to a walk-in clinic tomorrow to get some antibiotics or something to prevent an infection. I can't remember if I had a tetanus booster recently because lol insurance, I probably haven't, so here's hoping it won't turn into tetanus and it won't infect my foot and force them to amputate or anything like that.

Personally I'd like to see more representation of bi people where bi people aren't stereotyped as just being overly lascivious/flirty/horny because it'd be kinda cool for people to see a bi person who just happens to be bi and their bisexuality isn't being exploited as a way of basically saying that all bi people are really just straight sexual deviants who are mostly straight but will do gay stuff to please their straight partner.

Nintendo is always down to ruin Star Fox with another ephemeral gimmick for each new generation so VR seems like a good bet.

Welcome to our announcement of Star Fox Switch VR, in this game you use the labo VR in order to look around, but you're in first person so you only have a clear view of what is directly in front of you, but you have 3 other screens showing external camera views from your copilots so you have to look at those and make sure you're aiming correctly
