The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames)

[storm shadow]

Yeah, Vita is definitely still pricey. And you guys can probably figure this out for yourself, but you're going to want to go ahead and spring for the 32GB memory card, especially if you plan on downloading stuff from PSN. I second-guessed myself a bit when I bought, thinking of the imminent PS4, but I'm probably not going to get one of those right away so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. No regrets.

kinda love the added irony that they "sank" this game without explaining why and then brought it back for unspecified reasons with a different name etc. amazing trailer too.

the name change was smart. it's also kind of rumored that nobody expected the firaxis game to be as successful as it was and it threw a wrench in their attempt at being the "modern day xcom." it's a robust enough universe that a good side story could work in theory. provided they don't somehow miss what makes the universe so rad in the first place

An odd thing for me to get excited about, but being that speakers on the Wii remote was the only thing about the Wii remote I liked I'm glade the Dualshock 4 has speakers on it.

Guys, Hotline Miami is $4.99 on GOG this weekend. If you haven't played it yet, you'd best hurry or risk waking up one day to a record collection full of Jimmy Buffett albums.

With the girl gone all weekend I feel like I need something new to sink my teeth into-- something fun, with a good story that I can fucking bame on from midnight to dawn...

I know, The Bill-- Singularity

Fuck that, have you played Clive Barker's Undying yet?

If so...

Singularity

[The Bill]

FFFfffffffuuuu...

Just had a windfall. The second half of a payment for a freelance gig I did a while back and forgot about (check was in the mail) and also I thought that I had already received all my checks for teaching this semester, but apparently there was one more.

We just might be back to vita vs 3ds now

It's personal preference of course, but I couldn't play any sort of modern type game on a hand held, I could perhaps manage a SNES era type game. So 3DS, no contest. Plus, 3DS can play DS games, making the library quite large. I removed my finger from the buying a PC trigger once again, since I plan on getting a 3DS in the next few months.

...or, you know, you could put that money into some sort of savings.

...or, you know, you could put that money into some sort of savings.

Waaaay ahead of you. My savings account is bigger than it has ever been in my life. I've been a good boy for the most part about socking away almost all of my second income with the second job.

That a boy.

Yet, I'm getting this feeling, this vibe from your penis that you won't ever really play either hand held device. Survey Says, save that money for the PS4.

[The Bill]

Not my thing, but if you're still masto batin' on the toilet to Bioshock Infinite here's some free ring tones from Irrational:

How many hours 'til The Weekend of Geoff begins?

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

Two Hours and Seven Minutes.

In a little less than that time, it's tequila time for this jerk.

I have a good book in my bag and plan on going to my local watering hole right from work to read and have a couple drinks before ordering an early dinner and then going home to waste my life.

I'm going straight home, start drinking hard liquor without eating, and playing a game or two that don't totally entertain me for several hours. Also, do laundry.

[The Bill]

Forgive me, friends, for I have sinned. I claim to love Castlevania but have never played more than a few "levels" in of ???? Tonight, I played a bunch of Dragon's Dogma, and it's good, but... but let us now play and start the journey from start to finish.. SOTN. I fear my skills are totally decayed from years of 360 hand holding. Let us pray.

[The Bill]

So, yeah, um. This game begins after Rondo of Blood? I know Simon. Who's the dude from Castlevania 3 then and whose the dude from Super Castlevania IV. Trevor, Ricter, Soma,what?

[Friendly Goatus]

Trevor is in 3 and Simon is in 4

[The Bill]

Simon's 4? Simon lived one hundred years to kill Dracula again? God bless him, I guess heaven gave him extra year to live after how horrible his curse was.

[Friendly Goatus]

Castlevania 4 is kind of a remake of the first Castlevania

[The Bill]

Simon's 4? Simon lived one hundred years to kill Dracula again? God bless him, I guess heaven gave him extra year to live after how horrible his curse was.

So, it's NOT a terrible night to have a curse?

Unless YOU played Simon's Quest at night that is.

[The Bill]

I asked the wife when she was about to take off and meet her ham headed Greek friend a question, " Simon, Trevor, or Rictor?" That's all I asked. She first gave me the whole positive mental lectur She's learned from doing TM Meditation and reading The Secret. I said, "That's great, so who is it?" " SIMON! " "Why" she asked? " Oh, well, Simon was in the first Castlevania and..." Wife speeds off in the car.

hahahaha hold it wait what would The Secret and transcendental mediation have to do with picking a name out of a hat for you...? I mean thats basically what you were asking right? Like hey babe just pick one of these for me... and she tries to tell you about positive attraction or something?

Yes! Exactly. Newly born Paladin trying to teach an astral plain vampire a lesson in good fountain drinking edicte when all I wanted was to know if she liked Coke or Pepsi better. I give her credit, though. If you could meet the in-laws. DOOM and GLOOM! Luckily they mostly speak Greek.

[james]

I am greek, and I have nothing but sympathy for men who marry women with greek parents

[The Bill]

Wonderful! WONDERFUL! Then you have an idea. Yet, the parents are pretty cool with me. And I have no beef with them. I feel though, sometimes the other Greek relatives can't handle this Entropy Warrior. And I have NO patience for Greek games. Want to piss off your relatives, James? Ask them why after Alexander the Great did the Greeks fold like ass raped puppies to the might of ROME?
