One of my favorite Giant Bomb shows is Game Tapes, where they just watch footage of old events and sometimes B-roll marketing reels gamespot was given back in the day

Looks to be a slow month for new games. The only thing I'm really looking forward to is Cult of the Lamb. The summer Next Fest demo was promising so I hope the full release holds up to that first impression.

Gonna get caught up on older games this month! And by that of course I mean I'll be playing endless grind MMOs and idle games to soothe my broken monkey brain.

It’s a speed run so you probably didn’t see it, but that’s nowhere near the craziest part, where said man also tells you to suck on your mother’s milk.

I love video gaming :)

This month, on stream, I will be finishing Majora's Mask, playing FFX and playing Stray. *Marge simpson I just think they are neat gif*

In my own time I started a game that I have been promising Cheetah I would try for a long while. I have begun Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX and will be thought posting about that.

Currently I have recruited my first party member! Regina Curtis.

The names in this are wild, but so far Keithgriff Hazeldine is melodic in ways of the Romantic poets.

It seems like a very relaxing kind of game, even with the time limits. 3 years to learn about some flowers seems tremendously doable and luckily moving around the place takes a couple of days. 3 days is about 1% of time so I think it is good to have it as a directive but not too restrictive.

I really like the idea of getting bonuses from writing in the diary and committing to words the actions you took, but that you have to actually make the memories to write them down (memory points being what you use to make those commitments.) It is a game mechanic I have not seen before and I love surprises :)

Not that I can think of. I do assume it is because people are recommending really good games though and not deliberately choosing bad ones.

I think that’ll kill him, because he won’t ever be able to dislike a game but then after playing Dumpster Fire Simulator V and then replaying another From game the whiplash’ll be too much for any man to handle.

...wait, Sakuraba did the Dark Souls OST!?

Then I was right, Sakuraba's problem with samey OSTs isn't his style, it's that he should be banned from ever using syth in his work.

If you listen to the Ornstien and Smough track you can totally tell it’s him, but otherwise it’s a pretty big surprise.

Why would you ban him from the thing he does best

He should be banned from doing dull as ditchwater Tales soundtracks

Because I always felt that his dull and samey soundtracks were from using the same loving synths on everything I like his music but even outside of Tales is like, you could grab his SO music and put it in Valkyrie Profile or Tales.

Edit: He should be doing less battle themes and more Velvet themes that's what I say.

I am certainly willing to give it a try. I would think it should be games that actually try though - not just weird shovelware asset flip stuff ;)

I played through it last year and had a great time. I need to make room in my schedule for Bayo 2 before 3 comes out as well.
