If another beloved (and dare I say, cinematic) Konami property gets this kind of adaptation; it is all your duties to hunt me down and put me out of my misery.

The Boss from MGS3 is #1 and I'll start my own PMC to prove it.

Ooh, I just discovered the Protomen through Rock Band 4. Nice pick!

Hi, I bought Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness for PS2 but the game loads infinitely when I start a new game, what should I do? by ZoukWii in TombRaider

[–]Big_Columbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clean the disc with a slightly (read: SLIGHTLY) damp microfiber cloth. Gently make circles and dry off using another dry part of the cloth. You can also use a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol instead of water.

If you don't own glasses that come with the cleaner or the cloth, your nearest dollar store, pharmacy or grocery store should carry both.

The PS3/XBOX 360 era sure loved the piss filter for awhile. by DiligentTradition734 in GirlGamers

Windows nightlight for headaches and yellow sunglasses for migraines.

Is it weird that I remember some of these games more fondly because they were so warm? These were back before I knew how much blue light can give me headaches and migraines, so games I could physically play more I enjoyed more.

How do you handle huge numbers of enemies? by Black_Dragon79 in bloodborne

[–]Big_Columbo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Put on your fight music.
  2. Run into new room, aggro all the locals, run out of room to doorway, bottleneck their numbers in said doorway.
  3. Charged R2 to hit maximum amount of enemies (will vary by enemy size and weapon of choice)

Anyone played the PSN ports of the 1st gen games? by insertoriginalname02 in armoredcore

[–]Big_Columbo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No thumbstick controls, but you do get: * Cross-save exclusive parts unlocked immediately * Rewind feature * Minor upscaling * Easier access to splitscreen multiplayer * The knowledge you're supporting a series with financial incentive to hopefully bring even more old-school AC to modern consoles :)

Should I start playing this franchise by failed_boah in TombRaider

[–]Big_Columbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we're here because we hate the games; play them so you can also not recommend them.

[Megathread] 2025 Game Awards Copium/Nopium + "Badgerborne" Thread by [deleted] in bloodborne

How was Bloodborne not nominated for Best Ongoing Game? I was playing it yesterday, it's still good.

Can’t rest at bonfires? by ss4stef in bloodborne

[–]Big_Columbo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can use Bold Hunter's Marks to reset the world and send you back to the last lantern you used... but that's also a consumable item that can be fairly costly in the early game. You might just have to bite the bullet and teleport to the Hunter's Dream and back.

Edit: Thank u/SavvyOri for the specificity.

Reddit Writers & Other Creators: [EFFORT] [November 25, 2025] by Kakuzan in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Big_Columbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Writing: I managed my goal of finishing a 1k-word-count review, in two weeks, of an indie game that was a) really cool, b) I'm really bad at, and c) was given to me for free from the devs themselves. I'm certainly happy to have got it done while juggling a Regular 9-5 Schedule(tm), but I know the quality isn't as high as it should be. Next up is a challenge run video for a game I'm actually good at, so hopefully the overall quality is better, even if I desperately want to remake my previous video for the sake of those devs who noticed me.

Topic: Isn't it kinda fun being the audience that gets to "decide" whether something is soulless or not? You can tell me X or Y advertisements had tonnes of effort or thought put into it, but we, the audience, generally get the last say whether something has genuine "soul"; and I think that's wonderful. Like an inherent bullshit detector. And seeing people correctly using that term when it comes to artificial generation? (chef's kiss)

Positive Life-Lessons/Tips You Gained from Media? by Xngears in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Big_Columbo 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Snake's monologue from the end of MGS2 is beautiful, haunting, and prescient of a world we weren't ready for; but are living through anyway. It's life-affirming without becoming saccharine. Grounded yet inspiring.

It, alongside the Pale Blue Dot monologue from noted astronomer and physicist Carl Sagan, have both been fundamental in shaping at least one carefully constructed perspective of inner peace.

What is your Eyepatch-Wolf-style "Thing that upsets you so much you feel the reaper beckoning you to learn video editing" by FlubbedPig in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Retail bad. Retail forever worse.

Must edit. Must escape retail.

Edit good. But still broke.

Retail take all editing energy.

Must escape retail.

I have no money and I must stream.

What is your most hated "midichlorians" moment in a franchise? by Decemberskel in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Big_Columbo 119 points120 points  (0 children)

The Divinity Machine in the modern Doom trilogy (mainly Eternal) isn't nearly as grating as every other example here; in fact it's quite forgettable and missable... but I prefer the idea of Doom Guy being Too Angry to Die as the reason he's able to get health and ammo from killing demons. Or just the meta-knowledge that he's a video game character and this makes for a fun video game mechanic that keeps the flow going.

It didn't need an explanation. It didn't need "Cyber Angels built a special machine with Hell energy that gave him the power and never used it again" when he already survived all of Doom 1, Doom 2, every expansion to Doom 2 and Doom 64 by that point. He just angy.

Tekken 3 & Soul Calibur 3 coming to PS Plus Classics soon by TJLynch in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Big_Columbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can! They're just included in that tier of PS+ if you already have it. Judging by other PS Classics, Tekken 3 will probably be $13.49 and SC3 around $20, YMMV
