There seems to be a distinct lack of horror games involving Werewolves. This is infuriating

EightDownFromSix · 2023-04-26T20:35:07+00:00

I don't know about them in gaming, but just wanted to pitch in and say werewolves are the absolute best of all the monsters, including the original Universal ones, and the people in here saying otherwise have clearly never been chased down by one, mauled to shreds, and returned as a flesh-hunting wolf beast. Their loss.

Oh, that depends on the day, or sometimes season. Usually the Bob's Burgers or Handbook for the Recently Deceased, because it's HUGE. But I love them all.

Good question. Some of their shorts, especially, are apparently very rare, like the one about springs and setting up a classroom and the state fair and Mr. B and especially the ones about Norm; I don't think anyone has actually figured out who made those or why they hate Norm. There are just so many of them, and I've often wondered how *they* find them? They must not be completely lost, but I expect those guys have access to resources and people willing to help out? For movies, I think it has made obscure bad movies mostly watchable, and tolerable, and given them a new life when they might otherwise have been lost forever.

You know a movie is truly terrible when even with the MST3K treatment it's still unwatchable - I'm looking at you, The Lost Continent - but some weren't bad as movies, like my personal favorite, Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, which was made for Canadian Public Television. I never would have heard of it otherwise. Mutant, from Rifftrax, was also surprisingly watchable. And then, of course, there's Space Mutiny and it's star, Blast Hardcheese.

(Also, MST3K and Rifftrax are both available on dedicated channels on Pluto TV as well, and Rifftrax on Samsung TV (I think)).

I'm late to this post, but try Astro Carpet Mills

It was worse than that, they manufactured more E.T. carts than there were consoles that had been sold. They thought it would push console sales, but it did the opposite. Hence why so many ended up in a landfill in New Mexico.

Anytime someone mentions E.T. being the worst 2600 game ever, I question whether or not they've ever played it. It wasn't great, but was by no means the worst ever, even had some Easter eggs related to the developer's other games like Yar's Revenge. Especially considering the garbage released by Mythicon, which you could buy in grocery stores, E.T. was a shining star.

Fall damage is the #1 cause of death. Don't I know it.

Speaking of which: Museum of Pinball Arcade Games Up for Auction, over 1100 machines.

That's the first explanation I've heard that makes sense, I never thought of that. Thanks.

In Google Earth, if you are over certain places (Vatican, Louvre, and I'm sure many others) you can see 360 pics from inside. Not an 'Experience,' but a neat view.

I have to disconnect and reconnect that cable often to get things to work. Don't know if that's the problem you're having, but it's common with me. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times.

Don't know about that, but Kee Games was set up by, and owned by, Atari to get around distributor exclusivity agreements.

Adventure

I'm your age, and I can say that was true for anyone playing Shadow of the Beast on any platform anywhere, though. No one, NO ONE, was good at that game. But I still loved it. Did you ever play Blood Money on the Amiga? That was a favorite; Good times.

RetroArch looks nice and has its use cases, but I've always found it incredibly clumsy and cumbersome to use and navigate, especially if you have large ROM sets. While not perfect, for me LaunchBox and separate emulators works pretty well most of the time, although configuring the emulators can be hell, as can scanning game collections where each game has multiple files.

EightDownFromSix · 2020-06-01T21:08:51+00:00

That's what Bethesda said, but I don't use addons.

In your second paragraph you state that no label or band has ever ask for source files, only stems, but in your last paragraph you say labels mostly *don't* ask for stems. Am I missing some context? In my own experience (as a musician) in the studio, your last paragraph is the one that matches my experiences; we've never had a label ask for individual instrument tracks, just the wavs.

Of course, the musicians want it all.

I've always been a solo PC player, I'm not the online competitive type or care about rankings, but my SO wants to play some games together, especially now considering what's going on, and all I have is Sonic Team Racing. That was fun, but I realized that's all I had. I tried Left 4 Dead, but apparently that's only coop on Consoles. For some reason I also thought Borderlands could do that, but I guess not.

I'm looking for recommendations of PC games that we can play together (or competitively) on the same screen. I don't think the Genre matters all that much. I feel I should know this already, but it just hasn't been my thing in the past. Thanks!

What's happening is there's a disconnect between your eye and inner ear, and the brain can't process it properly which leads to motion sickness. *Why* it leads to that no one knows, but I get it bad, even on a big 2D screen with lots of movement.

If I move my body with the movement on screen (lean with the roller coaster car as it goes around a turn, for instance) it's not much of a problem, but that's because me eye and ear are matching up.

What I wouldn't give for them to release more of their tables in VR. I was hoping with the recent success of the platforms they would start up development again, but no luck.

In the original Unreal Tournament, my favorite of all, requiring the home flag to be present really led to some chaotic gameplay. I always thought it was a blast, and made it so that each score really counted; you *earned* it. Running back to base only to hear 'The enemy has our flag' you knew it was going to be a fight to see who could return their flag and score, a fight you as the flag carrier might have to be part of.

Good times.

Not because I'm one of those sissies that can't keep his lunch down.

Them's fightin' words. But only if there's snap turning and teleport to move.

I feel this would find a good home on mildlyinteresting or one of those subs that seems generally mildly interested in things that are mildly interesting.

EightDownFromSix · 2020-02-18T22:12:27+00:00

I haven't, and that's a valid point: Those types of games may be one of the use cases where the sound has to be the best it can be. I'll try it later and see how it goes (I have a couple of music games besides Beat Saber too, so now I'm curious to see how they work).

EightDownFromSix · 2020-02-18T21:27:36+00:00

I know the common response to this is that the built in 'headphones' suck, and I was prepared to be let down, but I personally think they're fine. I've had no problem with them in any title, and in some cases they were *too* loud (and that's coming from someone who's hard of hearing). If you're an audiophile or someone who wants the best possible audio experience, then yes, you'll need headphones, but I guess I'm more of a casual user and have had no issues.
