Chuck's Challenge. Kinda like Chip's Challenge, but it ain't the same.

Wait. Chip's Challenge is back on Steam? And the long-"lost"* sequel?

^ Give a kid a stick and tell him to beat up his enemies, he'll do it without a second thought. Give a kid a book and tell him to defeat his opponent, and he'll read the book, defeat the other's mind, and smack him on top of the head. Give a kid a flower, he'll force his opponent to eat it.

Part of me likes that a lot, and part of me is saying "Ew, new graphics."

Secret of Mana for SNES. On my PC. With my brand new Dualshock 4.

Also I finished Kingdom Hearts for the first time two weeks ago and began Chain of Memories (PS2).

Re: What are you playing right now?
D&D 5e, as GM.

Today, the party was enslaved by orc pirates, led by an 8th level warlock named Marloz the Witch.  The party is currently 1st level.  They wisely decided that escape was not the best course of action.  Now they're the vanguard of an orc pirate raiding party.

It's a good party.

"Spec Ops: The Line" on the advice of my retarded hipster friends.

I played the first thirty minutes and then gave up. Just another generic military shooter with a generic plot in the middle east

This is such a strange wrong opinion I can't tell if I'm falling for bait, The Line has a lot of flaws but nothing about the plot turns out generic.

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
I guess it's a generic take on Heart of Darkness except when it totally isn't.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Re: What are you playing right now?
It's like Heart of Darkness meets...Fight Club? The Machinist?

I think it's an easy game to criticize on fictional grounds, but it tried real hard, which I admire.

I love the metafictional puncture in the second helicopter sequence.

Should probably let the plot develop a little further than just thirty minutes. As for generic military shooter, not a lot you can do mechanics wise in that setting

Re: What are you playing right now?
Yeah, uh, I think you start hitting the important stuff, like, right after the 30-minute mark. I played through it for the first time recently myself and it is absolutely a unique experience.

You should give it a little more time to pull the rug out from under you!

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

I... fourth(?) that suggestion. It's really a good game, give it more of a chance.

That crispy bit......The non look they give you.....



I'm playing/reading an android game called lifeline.

Basically, you receive mayday transmissions / texts from someone stranded on a barren moon and offer advice on their situations. Fourth wall stuff.


It's short but very engaging.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I decided to try out the WipEout series ; started by the very first one (the DOS version). That's hardcore as **** (maybe the hardest arcade racing game I have ever played), but damn I love it  ;)

 
Re: What are you playing right now?
Speaking of Android games:
Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Build simple teams of characters from all the FF games and play just battles, all of the battles. The battle system is a bit simplified, but it's pretty fun. The pay system is actually really innocuous! "Stamina" recovers quickly, and real money currency is not needed, so far at least.
