Recently... I'm playing this puzzlegame called 4 Elements. It's one of those games that you find on several Online Game sites where you can buy them for a small amount of money. It reminds me a bit of Bejewelled but is much much more fun Imo. The gameplay is a bit different and you don't really swap bricks. But I find the game to be a nice lil thing that's kinda of relaxing when I need it to be.

I actually really like those obscure puzzlegames like Luxor or Atlantis or The Lost City Of gold. It's got mediocre music and mediocre graphics, but there's something really charming about em :)

The dlc for Costume Quest is out now. It's 400 points. I haven't played it yet, but I'll be getting it tonight.

God damnit, I knew that!

Fuckin' GameStop says it's Q1 2011...

Dorito's Avatar Dash

Holy fuck, a well made and challenging platformer. Its pretty short, but its also free. All of you should download it.

OANST 12-10-2010 06:45 AM

New Dorito's game?! I'm fucking there!

I really am.

Yar's Revenge on Game Room and Toy Soldiers on XBL Arcade

Both are pretty great

Playing Team Fortress 2

Because of new Christmas Update

MeechMunchie 12-19-2010 08:50 AM

Australian Christmas is pretty cash.

Mac Sirloin 12-19-2010 05:52 PM

I crafted the Brass Beast first thing, then got traded the Fists of Steel. Love 'em.

OANST 12-20-2010 07:53 AM

I'm playing Kirby's Epic Yarn. Shit is dope.

Hazel-Rah 12-20-2010 10:25 AM

Aww shite...since when does the Wii have all these great exclusives?

Dynamithix 12-20-2010 12:15 PM

Too right. I want the Wii just for the new Kirby and DK returns.

Daxter King 12-21-2010 12:18 PM

Got Dragon Age origins, not really enjoying it right now, though I barely started, I can tell I dont really like the combat. Im tempted to just trade it in now, so I can delete it from my gamerscore, and get Just Cause 2 or Prototype.

OANST 12-21-2010 12:30 PM

The combat takes some getting used to, but it's a pretty fun game if you just set it to easy, and enjoy everything else.

Although, the inventory system is fucking bullshit.

Just when I was happy with my loadout... Now I want a Buffalo Steak Sandvich and a Jag.

Nate 12-21-2010 04:51 PM

Played the demo of Costume Quest. Got bored. Not gonna bother with the full version.

Just bought the Deathspank sequel Thongs of Virtue and intend to use the dullness of Christmas (when everyone I normally hang out with are stuck with their family) to get in to that.

Wings of Fire 12-21-2010 05:13 PM

I have dusted off the 360 and am playing Tales of Vesperia.

Also planning to get a 360 game or a couple of arcade games. Suggestions?

Mr. Bungle 12-21-2010 05:57 PM

For arcade games, I'd highly recommend Braid, Limbo and Super Meat Boy. They're probably the three best xbox live arcade games out there.

Phylum 12-21-2010 07:03 PM

I'm working through FFVII.

I just spent around 30 minutes walking through the desert below the Gold Saucer before quitting. I did fight a little green thing that gave 10,000 gil when defeated, so it wasn't a complete waste.

So far I have the Brass Beast, Caber and Candy Cane. Caber is the most dickish weapon ever.

Consider getting Vanquish, it might be up your alley. Also Red Dead Redemption. Fucking time sink.

DICK POWER

I thought about the Caber. It's like the Equalizer taunt made into a weapon. Better than the Eyelander, would you say? Bear in mind I die pretty quickly anyway, so something that almost kills me is probably less restrictive than something that takes 10 kills to power up...

The Caber is only really good for dicking around or in emergencies. It doesn't crit normally (But it will with the Chargin' Targe) and the base damage is only enough to kill non-overhealed 125's. Minicrits do something like 183 and outright Crits do 300. The bomb on it can only be refilled by an ammo closet or respawning, too, so if you're using it there's a lot of going back and forth.

I briefly had the Candy Cane, then got a drop saying I'd found another one. I think I traded one of them and the other just disappeared. I also got the JAG, Claidhomer or whatever and The Medic's crossbow, though I traded the JAG. The Crossbow could be worse, but it feels like it fires/reloads just an nth too slowly. I mean, a crossbow bolt would logically go faster than an arrow, right?

Listening to people talk about playing TF2 on the pc is about the only thing that could get me to start playing on one.

MeechMunchie 12-23-2010 12:44 PM

@Kastere

Tell Valve that. They rely on people complaining about things to fix them.

As for the Caber, thanks, I've read the wiki page too. But is it better?

EDIT:
Playing Super Meat Boy. Either this game is nowhere near as hard as I have been led to believe or I have to face the shocking realisation that I may actually be good at a video game.

It is pretty great. The absolute worst thing about it is the community, though. Like, I've played with obnoxious people before but TF2 players take the cake.

However, a lot of them are really accommodating to new players and the Updates Valve releases are rad as hell (except for the Hats). People who trade have the worst business sense in the world, though.

The only practical use for the Caber outside of dickery is if you have The Sticky Jumper, as you don't take damage from the explosion itself, but that also sacrifices use of the Targe, which is key to actually killing anything that isn't a wary Scout, Spy or Sniper. Engineers are actually kind of hard to hit because they're slightly shorter. Really.

You'd be better off with the Eyelander or Horseless Headless Horsemann's axe for actual legit melee usage.

I need a Crit-A-Cola. Any TF2 player reading this should message me and give it to me.

How far are you? It doesn't start to get really challenging until around world 4 or 5, at least, in my experience.
