Metallica isn't touring the US right now, I'll accumulate that money by the next time they do, which should be in another, what, 7-9 years when they release their next album.
Just goes to show that if you want something done right, you do it yourself. You better watch yourself fallandir, and sleep with one eye open while gripping your pillow tight.
I don't know if this has been discussed here before, and I didn't really know where else to put this comment as I don't really use The Batman discussion threads. I just wanted to point out in this exclusive clip of Harley Quinn's first entrance, that her face animations especially when she laughs shows how much Telltale have better utilized character expressions, with the new engine after ANF.
It's probably one of my favorite games of all time, but if you were so frustrated with Outlast 2's insane difficulty I'd recommend not picking it up unless you're absolutely sure you can be dedicated to learning it's mechanics. It's VERY difficult and requires quite a lot of fucking patience. I love the game to pieces but even I can admit that it's biggest flaw is that it is the least newcomer friendly game in the Soulsborne series.
If you've finished any of the Dark Souls games before playing Bloodborne then it'll be a lot less rough, but Bloodborne is not a game you can just hop into. It's very much like Castlevania and Zelda. It drops you into it's world with no tips or clues on your objective, and you're left to figure it out yourself. Which is great and it can lead to some amazing game design, but it also leads to new players being clueless and trying everything they can until finally finding the answer.
I personally recommend checking out the first Dark Souls game before Bloodborne. It's the hardest game in the series (not counting Demon's Souls) but it's also the most newcomer friendly and teaches you a lot of the base mechanics you're forced to learn the upgraded counterparts of in Bloodborne. Or just nab Bloodborne and try it off the bat. If you can be patient with it I assure you it'll be the best PS4 game you've ever played.
Same thing happens with Witcher 3. I dunno how it managed to become successful because I knew nothing about Witcher and I gave it a try but after 2 hours, I stopped playing it because the pacing seemed very slow. Was it successful because of the newcomers? I thought the first two games didn't age well.

You can't really compare a difficult game with a game mode where you have to finish in one run and have an instant death. I did play hard games like Uncharted on Crushing mode and Resident Evil 7 Ethan Must Die. I hated Outlast 2 Insane Mode because it was badly designed.

Too bad it isn't on current consoles. Only the sequels.

Maybe I shouldn't try it right now cause it will distract me from my last High School year for how difficult I might expect.

I love that they did a radio play for Futurama. Despite it being set in the 3010s, this actually fits well, considering the show is a twisted version of the mid-20th century predictions of the future (especially The Jetsons, but also the Orson Welles radio play broadcast of War of the Worlds), and the name Futurama comes from an attraction at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
Rsdiorama was a lot of fun, and it felt like a Futurama episode, specifically a "Tales of Interest" style episode with Maurice LaMarche's over the top narration. It's like closing your eyes when watching a televised Futurama episode. I really hope TinyCo and Nerdist commission more podcast episodes like this.
To any Futurama fans out there, listen to this:
This is a Futurama Special Podcast episode. Made by the show's original creator and write… morers, this is a special 42-minute audio episode of Futurama, featuring the same voice talents you've come to know and love, brought back for a one-time only audio special (featuring Chris Hardwick from Nerdist)!
Episode Starts at 4:11
Okay, I'll admit - I was killed, but survived. Sniper did a good job despite his blindness, he just didn't care that the body came back to life.
Don't come after me, I'm really dead. Hello, this is a ghost typing.

So, I caved in and bought the official Metroid 2 remake.
At face value, yeah, it's better than the fan version(which I may or may not have played before it was shut down).
It's also a full priced 3DS game, which is a bit silly to me. It's selling well, so what do I know.
I dislike the new design and find the other remake more pleasing to the eye, but the melee attack is a nice touch.
Overall, if I had more than a handful of 3DS games, I probably wouldn't have bothered and stuck with the version I may or may not have.
I don't really regret it though. I want it to be successful and Nintendo to take notice.
You can't really compare a difficult game with a game mode where you have to finish in one run and have an instant death.
To be fair, both require a lot of patience.
I did play hard games like Uncharted on Crushing mode and Resident Evil 7 Ethan Must Die.
Well that gives you a bit more experience than I expected. But those games are still relatively slower paced and Uncharted's gameplay is pretty streamlined. Bloodborne is hyper fast and definitely insane.
I hated Outlast 2 Insane Mode because it was badly designed.
I still don't see how it's badly designed. The whole point of the mode is to be brutally and realistically difficult and make it so you can only die once, and it does exactly that. So if it does what it does correctly, it provides an actual challenge and it's optional so you don't even HAVE to do it, why is it badly designed?
Too bad it isn't on current consoles. Only the sequels.
It's backwards compatible with Xbox One and it's on PC with relatively low requirements.
Maybe I shouldn't try it right now cause it will distract me from my last High School year for how difficult I might expect.
If you become addicted to it (likeidid) then yeah, may wanna hold off a bit.

Because the AI gets way smarter and they run faster than you do. Instant death should have been the only option. Also, for a big length, I don't see a good reason not adding at least an option to skip cutscenes.

As far as I know the PS4 controller can only be plugged in and recharged directly from the PS4, although I think there might be a problem with the controller itself as I can hear something rattling inside it when I pick it up. With the tablet charger I've gone through about 3-4 chargers, with them all working perfectly at first then turning shitty. I tried recharging it downstairs and it went from 10% to 56% in about an hour or two so I'm not sure if it made a difference . Maybe there is something wrong with the tablet since it is only a £50 one.
This is using different chargers and cables, right? I know a bit about hardware, software and electrical and this doesn't really make sense… more.
If they have to be fiddled with to charge, then there is a connection issue somewhere. Either in the female or male ends, the cables, or the plug-in.
Your tablet shouldn't use more power than it's taking in either. Unless you have large running apps like fullscreen games going at the same time, this is odd.
Have you tried different cables in a different outlet? Or a different USB port? This sounds like a combination of issues unless I'm understanding this incorrectly.
Is it possible to have a story feature anthropomorphic animals as the main characters but have the story still be taken seriously? I've got quite a good concept for a futuristic sci-fi/fantasy story featuring anthropomorphic animals and how they exist in a world where humans and normal animals also exist alongside them, but I'm afraid it would only be able to be marketed towards children and I would have to get rid of the dark and edgy stuff, the nuclear war stuff, and the sentient giant tree monster that hates humanity.

Werewolves? Sphinxes? Minotaurs? Centaurs? Jörmungandr? Most are mixed with humans, but it seems that the scarier the animal, the better, and the monster has more chances to be taken seriously.

Do we have some successful writers around here? I'll exchange cookies for a good useful information on how to publish a book. I've spoken with many people and read tons of online recipes, but still got nothing I'd consider helpful.
Back in the days before Walking Dead took off, I recall we had a few smaller authors (think indie/self publishing/smaller publishing) on here. But, time has passed and they moved on. I might recommend checking a larger enthusiast community, such as Reddit, to see what they say.
Currently, the forums consist more of younger adults/late teenagers (kind of ironic given Telltale's mature games, but I digress ) so perhaps the pool of authors would be a bit on the smaller side.

I would say a story like that depends largely on the characterization, tone, and world building. Tons of mature stories out there can feature anthropomorphic characters. Some do so allegorically, such as the Maus comic or Animal Farm.
Even Telltale dabbled in it with Wolf Among Us - Mr Toad, Collin, and other characters were anthropomorphic animals with compelling story arcs that did not detract from the story being taken seriously. Them being animals even played a role in the story and world building, with their glamour problems.

Hmm, Playstation Plus keeps getting better and better. Took Sony years to hear that we hate unpopular indie games.
Why would you kill me, I'm a sweetheart.
That money was your front ticket to the loudest Metallica's concert, way to waste it.
shameless dot
Looks pretty faithful to the manga.
That's what you get for hiring a Blind rifleman
uhhhhhhh, i mean, whatever are you talking about
Well if you didn't kill fallandir, then who in the hell did you kill? Please tell me it was one of Kardashians/Jenners.

but i love unpopular indie games...
Like the other two said, you've worn them out. Try something new.
what part of BLIND do you not get, gosh darnit
I wanna try Bloodborne (Hopefully I will not regret buying it), I'll probably get it on Christmas.

The First 8 Minutes Of Cuphead Holy Shit!!! This looks awesome! It looks hard and amazingly well done! I can't wait to get it!
Which is like??? The point of the mode???? And the point of any game????? With a higher difficulty setting??????
I still agree with this.
This animation is super good.

It's worked for Elder Scrolls. Why not?
If you avoid the more inhuman, silly, behaviour of animals, it'll be fine.
More like The Howling, less like Sleepwalkers.
Werewolves? Sphinxes? Minotaurs? Centaurs? Jörmungandr? Most are mixed with humans, but it seems that the scarier the animal, the better, and the monster has more chances to be taken seriously.
Welp, I just cancelled my refund of GTA 4 and downloaded some Windows Client thingy, and it's now launching perfectly without problems.
Did you need to download Windows Live?
Yep, and it's working perfectly.
