I was going through some of my games and noticed my DJ Hero turntable lying around near my shelf so I decided to hook the thing up and play a few songs in the game. Well, I had completely forgotten that my main saves were on my old Xbox 360 which isn't connected to the TV right now and I didn't want to go through the trouble of moving the saves to my current Xbox so I just decided to start a new game. I actually set myself sort of a challenge; I played through the game on hard difficulty. It took a while to get used to the directional scratching/crossfade spikes, but I managed to 5-star every song in the game on hard. Got a nice 80 Gamerscore achievement too. Expert is still way too much for me to handle.

In today's episode of Big Al's All the Art You Can Eat, we're going to push the boat out and look at a science game instead.
They've just released a sandbox version, which you can see here. |
I'm playing Cave Story+ too. It features caves and a story. It's frustrating-fun. I'm playing on hard even though the game said I shouldn't. Also, it's japanese
|
It's the original 2D indie platformer. The one Phil Fish can't possibly acknowledge as an influence of Fez because his ego won't allow him to take back the remark that all modern Japanese games suck.
|
It's from 2004 and it's stylized to look retro. Can it really be called "modern" now?
|
  Don't know what you're talking about, WoF. |

I believe the game is pretty much the same with the one difference that you have only 3hp. Pretty much everything kills you in 1 hit
|
I finished Persona 3. It was sad, I feel fulfilled.
I'm halfway through Persona 4. It is happy, I feel fulfilled. |
Flying to Arathi Highlands. WoW is the only game I play anymore, other than some Street Fighter and Tekken with my friend.
|
I'm about two thirds way through Persona 4, having finally rescued Naoto and now have my full party. I'm enjoying it a lot more in the mid-game now I've settled into the pace of small town life.
Also Shadow Naoto is my favourite so far, narrowly beating out Shadow Yukiko, though I'm not quite sure about the Astro Boy aesthetic. |
I've being playing HOTLINE MIAMI and MY GOD! That game's amazing and addictive fun.
|
Dota 2.
I had 5 games today. It's time consuming but man I love it. Played Windrunner twice, I love her stun ability. Just watching my entire team destroy a player after I've pinned them down is just great. :) Jakiro is another favourite of mine. He's probably my best hero too. Freezing players with the ice wall is satisfying and even though he's a support, he can be pretty tough. I also like to harass players with my flame attacks. |
I played Multiwinia against a friend. I won, which means it is therefore a good game.
If you find RTSs too complicated, this is good. You don't build any of your units; half of them spawn like creeps and the rest fall in crates like Worms. And it keeps all of the fluidity from Darwinia. |
I'm playing Puzzle Agent. It's a game about an agent which's job is to solve puzzles. It's fun. I regret not being interested in that game before.

I've been playing Quake Live duels pretty much every day for the last few months.
I'm getting much better. I can actually put up a fight against players better than me now. I can't aim for shit, but I'm getting good at item timing and my map awareness has been fantastic lately. I just won a game against a guy who outaimed me simply because I was listening to his every move. I caught him standing in the wrong place once or twice and I completely turned the map around. I love games that require high skill like this. Because I'm so patient I don't need to aim well to win games. I just sit back until my opponent makes a mistake, at which point I make it really hard for them to get back into the game. |
I spent most of last night playing The Last of Us. It's a great game, really atmospheric, but it's bloody hard.
And then I got hit with a (now fixed) bug which broke the save system and now I'll need to replay all the progress I had made. |
:
The opening does indeed look good. Shame the first bit is pretty linear but then that's to be expected. Looks interesting for sure |
I've finished The Cave. It's a game about heroes in a cave. I'm a bit dissapointed, but only a bit. It was a good game. I just thought it'd be better.
|
:
The opening is fantastic. My heart was racing the whole way through. |
I'm playing full version of Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers. It's a game about a hero called "Tiny" fighting with a villain called "Big" over a pair of pants.
Also, you can cut rocks in this game, and it's really fun. I recall some user saying that game is great, I think he's right. Go get it, it's in the newest humble bundle |
That would probably be me. The art style is great too, it looks like an old band poster.
You could abseil in the demo, it's a shame they cut that out. |
...."cut that out", get it? ha ha
|
Hooked on Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Dota 2 (You might of noticed the avatar change).
I also played Ico for my channel. |
Started up Rayman 3 again on a whim. Man, this game is fun. Simple, stupid fun. The plot is stupid, the characters are stupid and I can't help but wear a stupid grin the entire time I'm playing it. I still giggle at the crazy level transitions.
I love most Rayman games, but props to this one for just being so quirky. |
Globox drinking the Prune Juice is the best thing ever.
|
Plum juice.
Fermented plum juice, at that. |
I've been playing Superbrothers: Swords and Sworcery EP on my tablet. It's... odd. Nothing like I imagined it to be. But I like the art style and the plot is keeping my attention. So that's good.
I first became aware of that game years ago. I've owned it for about a year. I've seen the trailer a bunch of times. I've had conversations about it, both verbally and textually. I had played it several times. And it was only after all of that, that I realised 'Sworcery' wasn't the normal spelling of that word. |
I never noticed either.
Mind you, I didn't get very far before my last SSD died and I haven't started again. |
