Who?
I got it half price. It fell again during the latest sale; you'll probably be able to get it during the next sale at a decent price.
I dunno if I'd call it a great game, but it's most definitely not not-very-good.
The CEO of Stardock, the maker of Elemental, and the guy this was filed against.
So Nintendo released a Wii Mini, in Canada to boot, which has no Gamecube compatibility or online. This shouldn't really be news if only for the fact that the system itself looks like this.
Look at it. It looks like a Wii-themed pencil case.
Looks better than the original Wii.
Wait, no online as in the device doesn't have a Wi-Fi receiver?
Wouldn't that erase more than half the Wii's functionality?
Sounds like it's more-or-less for people who want Wii Sports and not much else.
That said, concern for where your money is going doesn't really work with videogames, given that pretty much any device capable of running them almost certainly had some sketchy stuff happen during its production history.
No Gamecube compatibility isn't new, the current Wii models don't have it either.
Wii U has it.
Kinda.
nevermind im dumb
Can I stage a socialist revolution against the pigdog capitalists?
^^ You can not.
^ No. You are a super-capitalist.
Can I really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
yes ultron
Heck no! Everyone who tried to use even go want to do look more like is an idiot. They could have instead chosen to go even look more want to use like, but they totally blew their chance, and look what happened to them: They just looked even more went to want more do, and as a result, they failed less more can't wanted to being less never seen came to through further done.
Holy shit the La Mulana Wii port is fun
This is an article about Eurogamer's concept of a Dark Souls movie, and it is beautiful.

I'll have to read that in the morning, but still...ಠ_ಠ
Say what you want about Eurogamer, but it does kick most other gaming publications in the nads. That's not necessarily saying a whole lot, but the technical writing is generally far beyond other sources and there's a greater degree of thought put into their articles than is usual for gaming media. This doesn't necessarily make them particularly comparable to the better examples of literary or cinema critique publications, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. Reading something like a Gamespot or IGN article right after a Eurogamer one is kind of like being blasted back to the stone age in many respects.
If Eurogamer is among the best, I think that speaks more about how everything else sucks rather than any particular quality within Eurogamer's articles.
Anyway, been playing Fallen Enchantress again. I got my Sovereign up to the point that she can summon Earth, Fire and Ice Elementals (which is around Level 13, or a fair amount of game time), and fought Abeix, Who Dwells Below.
Looking up the lore on it, I'm surprised at how effective they can make it.
When you arrive in Bhinadmi Fissure, you are greeted with a giant chasm. Haunting the chasm are groups of Earth Elementals- slow, ponderous beasts, with a massive Attack, and groups of Ophidian- oversized, rocklike snakes with an immunity to some forms of magic.
Proceeding further in, there's lots and lots of treasure everywhere, which is awesome. The game encourages you further in, through the use of strategic maps allowing you to overcome the powerful Earth Elementals and the masses of treasure.
When you first enter the Fissure, you're warned that a massive demon lives there. However, you can't actually see the demon.
What the game does, and rather cleverly, is it hides Abeix's spawn spot behind a treasure on a rock protruding from the fissure. Encouraged by all the treasure everywhere, you go to pick it up- and all of a sudden you're in the battlemap, and what the fuck is that and why is its health bar so big.
The boss fight itself wasn't actually all that much of a challenge to me, because I kind of cheesed my way through it; a combination of Slow, which reduces the creature's number of turns, Abeix's naturally low number of turns, and my own abuse of Flame Dart, ensured that I took him down fairly fast.
What interests me is how the game deals with Abeix himself. Visually, he looks like an oversized Ophidian, and so you'd expect him to be much the same. However, unlike the Ophidian, Abeix has no immunity to magic, although his Defence is much higher to make up for it. Even his attacks are different- where the Ophidians make quick, biting lunges, Abeix just kind of bashes you with his head, using his bulk to act as a more effective weapon than his teeth could ever be (because seriously, Abeix' head alone is as big as an entire group of horsemen).
I actually like the way they're treating the lore so far, even if it's kind of sparse.
Then my game crashed. So I have to go fight Abeix again.
Binding of Issac is recieving a remake for consoles by Nicalis, in a 16-bit style no less.
Okay, read that article.
I'm not entirely sure what I just read, but it was really, really silly.
Their technical writing is great, and that frequently masks the fact that much of what they say in their articles conveys no meaning.
So, this is a thing.
Huh.
Is Darksiders any good?
^It's okay from what I've heard. Basically just a darker Zelda game.
The real gems imo, are Company of Heroes, Saints Row The Third, and Metro 2033 if your computer can run it.
Incidentally, I have the Steam key for SR3 since I beat the average. Anyone want it?
I have Metro 2033 and SR2, but...eh, what the hell. I got paid today anyway.
