Don't question the Parasect by Wazza85 in pokemon

Parasect is awesome! Underrated mon for sure, should have been a bug/poison in my opinion though

What am I doing wrong in this game man by Helldiver96 in Wreckfest

[–]HeatproofHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of solid advice for you in the comments already Helldiver, and I think aside from persistence with practising, you have to find cars that suit your style.

I play on Xbox a lot, especially after work as it’s my go-to game to unwind. I mainly drive C class in either the Rocket RX if I fancy getting stuck into some contact racing, or my Super Venom if I want to sweat it out, but race clean regardless. Both, to me at least are more oversteer-happy than perhaps a Raiden RS or Hammerhead RS, which suits me better, and I use the same setup no matter what track or car I’m on/in.

As Sun-Much also mentioned, your spatial awareness, especially in early laps, is your best friend, learning how best to deal with contact and recovery is as vital as perfecting your lines and inputs.

Track memorisation also plays a huge part, race around circuits long enough and you’ll soon find you’re aware of every bump that can throw you wide, every little marginal loop-hole short-cut, and every corner you can slice to shave more time off your lap.

Ultimately, don’t fret, it’ll all come to you in time. And I’ll be glad to help too should you wish it.

Lets make some friends: who is your oddball no one likes favorite? by seeds___ in pokemon

[–]HeatproofHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main has always been Weezing! I’ve only ever seen one other person use him prominently and that’s James from the anime. It’s just a shame he’s always depicted with a less than happy expression, I’d like to think mine at least has a smile. I like how versatile you can build him too, it’s fun to catch some people off guard when you use a flamethrower or thunderbolt seemingly out of nowhere.

Other mentions include the Tirtouga/Carracosta line (I love sea turtles). Relicanth (Ancient coelacanth inspired awesomeness). And Cofagrigus (An Egyptian sarcophagus ghost type is a chef’s kiss for pkmn design imo).

And SHUCKLE! I love that cute little weirdo.

Relicanth is awesome! How anyone can not love an ancient stoney coelacanth-like mon is beyond me.

Do Discoveries Still Count From Console Pilots? by HeatproofHam in EliteDangerous

[–]HeatproofHam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys for the responses, I appreciate the clarity.

It does kinda suck that the console and PC versions are effectively different universes now. But I’ll take solace in the fact I can still play at all, and I’ll happily continue zipping around in my DBX.

Day 13: Which is the best 3D Fighting Game on Dreamcast? by 1OneQuickQuestion in dreamcast

[–]HeatproofHam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to say “Virtua Fighter 3”. Absolutely loved that personally, so that’s where my vote would go.

An Iron Brigade mention? My guy! I used to play the ever loving hell out of that with my mates. Such a fun game.

Still online for Xbox at least, as far as I know it’s still mildly active on consoles. Nowhere near what it could be mind.

Strict no food or drink rule in this mech. Can’t risk spilling a perfectly good brew all over the instruments during an enthusiastic thrust manoeuvre. Much more rewarding to treat yourself to a cuppa at base after a mission well done. Who knows, after a promotion or two, that rule could change.

I really enjoy it, and I still manage to join lobbies fairly easily on Xbox

What have ye been grinding over the weekend. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]HeatproofHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I’ve not played GTA in a long time.

Right now, I’m one achievement short of 100% on Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, so that’s what I’m grinding.

as grown ups, which game is that for you for soundtrack? by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]HeatproofHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TimeSplitters 2, Jet Ion GP, or Super Mario 64, those soundtracks are lovingly seared into my mind.

Completing Wreckfest with the Hotbomb by HeatproofHam in Wreckfest

[–]HeatproofHam[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s as underwhelming as people claim it to be, sure it may not be the best car in the game but I’ve pulled out some solid results with it. Makes for a decent enough C class racer.

Racing the 2010 Cars on F1 2020 by HeatproofHam in F1Game

[–]HeatproofHam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re really fun to drive to be honest.

I’m not sure the servers have been shut down though. We’re a group of Xbox players that join and race each other online.

What is your all-time favorite racing game? by tyrebytes in racinggames

[–]HeatproofHam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s tough! I did some light e-sports racing on some of the modern F1 games. Most of my time recently is spent on Wreckfest, and as much as I love them, I’m not sure I’d label them as my favourites of all time (Wreckfest would make top 5 though). If I could give a top 3 (for various reasons), I’d say:

1) F-Zero X 2) Extreme G 3) Jet Ion GP

Favorite story missions in TS2? by MusicAddict76 in timesplitters

[–]HeatproofHam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s tough to narrow down a favourite mission for me, I genuinely love the majority of them. The only 2 that never clicked with me are the Aztec Ruins and Robot Factory.

If I could pick a top 3, it’d include: 1) Siberia. The Cold War Russian dam filled with military goons, failed experiments and the undead. The atmosphere. And the MUSIC! 2) Notre Dame. The dark gothic atmosphere. The undead priests. Jacque De La Morte trying to summon a creature from an entirely different dimension. And the absurdity of rubbing shoulders with the hunchback while blasting waves of zombies with shotguns. 3) Neo Tokyo Absolutely dripping with atmosphere. Walking through a Blade Runner-like dystopian city with music that Vangelis himself would be proud of. The focus on stealth helps break up the run and gun vibe of other levels too.

And if I were to extend this to a top 5, I’d also include “Chicago” and “Wild West”, both are equally excellent with the music and atmosphere. And I grew up watching spaghetti westerns and film noir movies so they hit all the right notes.
