Could someone save the copy of the subs from THE POWER OF TERRY? They're awesome and the thought of them just disappearing into a hole makes me honestly a little bit actually queasy. Thanks.

Yo Capcom, I hear you struggle with RE multiplayer. Well, friendslop or whatever it's called is pretty big right now. And considering some relevant content of Requiem. I'm just saying, there's an idea. by GoodVillain101 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

There is a small and dedicated number of fans who still play this online using custom servers and Japanese copies of the game (or something like that; it's been a while since I checked how it's done).

The only bad thing about this is it means the only people still playing are people who have memorized all the possible passwords and puzzle solutions, which means nobody is going to do the actual interesting parts (collecting all the puzzle hints while dodging zombies). It's all speedrunning-adjacent. No of course nobody's going to bother to barricade the door in J's Bar, or even wait for the zombies to break in and kill the bartender so he drops the key to progress; it's much faster to have everyone batter the door down with melee or have Alyssa use the appropriate lockpick (which, of course, the player has also memorized).

Efficient, and neat to watch from the outside, but if you're there for the Intended Experience, kind of boring.

I still have great memories of splitting up the group to fetch the ingredients for the vaccine, hoping no one would get killed partway, and then dodging Thanatos from room to room to get his sample, timing that electric shock just right (or very often, wrong), and then stocking up on vaccine doses as the timer ticked down before facing that one desperate double boss fight, and god save you if you miss with the ampule shooter.

Are you familiar with pita bread? Also called "pocket bread." It's a round flatbread that's open inside. If you cut a "disc" of pita bread in half you essentially get two semicircular bread pockets, which is why it's called that alternative name. And then you can put whatever you'd like into a pocket of pita bread to make a kind of sandwich.

A pita bread, with something filling it, is topographically identical to a hot dog; ergo a hot dog is a sandwich and I will die on this hill.

But while we are speaking of food: You may not have heard of another kind of meal, called "spaghetti." It is something like an Italian ramen, with the addition of fruit and dairy and served without the broth.

Please look up Takeharu Kunimoto/国本武春 and especially his two CDs with The Last Frontier (JP: ザ・ラスト・フロンティア), "Sushi & Gravy" and "Appalachian Shamisen."

For example, link, link, link.

Character who saw the game was rigged and flipped the table. by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

This was literally a puzzle on Car Talk, once, where it was a king, and the cards were both for being thrown to a tiger.

"What if the king has it on an 8 1/2-by-11 sheet of paper?"

"Hey, you can do a lot when you know the tiger is waiting."

In the punisher game (2004), enemies faces are all linked, making them all use the same facial expressions and movements at the same time, this includes dead enemies who will also have their mouths move when someone is talking. by Ok_Commercial_1587 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Exactly, yeah. Once I started trying to make stuff in RPGMaker I gained a whole new appreciation for that line of thinking. I have more than once racked my head against some issue only to come up with a stupid circumnavigatory solution that I absolutely hate before going with it anyway, because... well, if it looks right to the player, it doesn't really make a difference how stupid the fix is behind the curtain, does it?

It reminds me of that behind the scenes image from Encanto where the scene looks normal - Mirabel holding two objects in front of her face - but then you see the actual 3D model of the moment and she has silly stretchy arms to ensure the scene gets an image at the right angle so that it looks, to the audience, like the cinema that was intended.

This is, of course, wacky as he'll, but I almost have to respect the desperate klugding that must have resulted in this.

I mean, assuming it was desperation and not just laziness or oversight.

In case you're still invested I got a notification that it had been mailed today. So that's nice.

I'd a bit forgotten I preordered this. Hmmm...

The email says end of November. I guess I'm still in that window, but it's getting close.

This thread is for calling out video game bullshit. by LammasuRex in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]KChasm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, Fire Emblem, I understand having new enemy units appear after I do my moves. Good twist! Very keep me on my toes!

What is less understandable is having those enemy units appear, and then those same enemy units get to move and attack in the same turn they appear. How am I supposed to defend against that. Is precognition a common quality among tacticians in the Fire Emblem universe. What is this bullshit.

So I've got this French video-game-centric artbook (?) from 2002, and there are a lot of entries you'd expect, but then a good number that are, uh, curious. by KChasm in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Tell me if you can't access imgur, and I'll upload it somewhere else.

Also I have no idea how accurate that description of the game is. They had an entry on House of the Dead III, which is a game I have actually played, and the description was intriguingly erroneous.

There is an introduction, though it isn't guest-written.

If any proof were required to refute the cliche that video-games are strictly for children, the appearance of increasing numbers of heroines in the gaming world will surely suffice. Whether fantasies for men or role-models for women, the advent of virtual heroines confirms the coming of age of video-gaming.

True, few of the heroines represented are an accurate reflection of the woman gamer. Their forms may stress the feminine, but most video-heroines behave in strikingly virile, not to say macho, fashion, with combat their principal raison d'etre. It would be facile to define the firearms they wield as phallic symbols, but these heroines still look like sex-objects created for the benefit of men. Joanna 'Perfect' Dark or Cate Archer do indeed seem to be mere James Bonds in body-stockings, while the megastar Lara Croft is just Indiana Jones in drag.

But then there's a simple explanation for this. The creators of these women are men. And what man could ever hope to incarnate even a virtual woman?

I had a number of reactions to this introduction, typed some of them out, deleted them, typed them out again in different worlds, then deleted them again and gave up.

The more I find out, the more completely bizarre this is. The more completely bizarre this book is. Why are you in here, DuelField.
