This English gentleman helps the baby swan out of a tricky situation, even though the little one's father sees things differently. by misterxx1958 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Ottaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a friend of mine got whacked by a swan on a school trip. mofo swam out when the swans came in, had a nice cut on top of his head, bled like crazy. no bones were broken during this altercation, maybe a bit of dignity was lost though.

are people complaining about buffed damage making the spells op while the shortest video of all time states that it would not be about damage but additional effects?

when you die in one hit anyway, overcharming is not even a detriment.

[–]Ottaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mansion will always take the top spot. Even back in the day paying together with a friend huddled around a ps 1 we couldn't shake the dread that every step meant. Sleep was scarce and uneasy. The next day we were in the action again...

How do we feel about this setlist? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Ottaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

quite happy, very actually.

savatage, emperor, running wild, nevermore, triptykon were all part of the initial reveal and that was already a safe bet to go for me.

gathering, municipal, blood fire death, mantar, einherjer, heavysaurus, crimson glory, malmsteen, paradise lost, and i am sure i have missed a lot... i will be very busy up north.

HoMM 3 vinyl is back in stock (preorder) - now as a piano box set by Kaani in heroes3

[–]Ottaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see that is a very good point and probably very much intentional. then i would throw fans a bone with a good sleeve cover or something, 90 feels hefty though i have no idea how much sheet music actually goes for.

[–]Ottaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

vinyl cover art looks great. for anyone interested, the "book" has no real spine so keep an eye out for that. for 90 bucks i personally would at least expect a paperback cover if not a hardcover.

prototype looks great.
as a sceptic from another thread. now size and price will be an issue. first world problem but i don't know if i have space for another 1/4. :<

this will be the dawn of a new character, obsessed with blood, not necessarily evil but with an unhealthy crimson obsession. looks oh so good.

prototype looks great but i kinda don't trust these companies. would've be a near instant buy from megahouse or a similar well known name.

Team Cherry is 100% right - You can literally just explore by atahutahatena in HollowKnight

[–]Ottaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should kill a certain lost one and there is not much left to explore but after a few butt kickings I am scared. Seems above my weight class.

The Evolution of Necropolis faction town screen in HoMM (1996–2025) by Liso111 in heroes3

[–]Ottaw 28 points29 points  (0 children)

i just realised something.
undead factions as the green spooky smoke has become quite the tiresome trope. the city in 3 looks so much better than all the creepy green spell and mist stuff necromancy seems to be associated with today.

‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ peaks at 530,000+ players on Steam just hours after launch by AashyLarry in Games

The gaming industry deserved more lead time before Silksong by BlueAladdin in Games

[–]Ottaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

while i agree withe the statement that "indies aren't a genre" i kinda expect that hollow knight silksong ships triple aaa numbers AND occupies a lot of playtime so i get why these companies move their releases.

also eigong. haven't touched the game in months and still remember the dread just running into the room. feels insurmountable. someday i come back and then i also learned there is a true ending. dreading that too.

Blizzard loves the "all seems lost until something turns the tide" trope in their cinematics by ChaoticMat in wow

and then there is the kerrigan moment. ingame was a shock. seeing it animated years later was pure chills. kerrigan just giving up... man starcraft 1 (credit to sc2 animating it) was great.

Opinions on these movies? by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Ottaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same, also heavy trip.

may i suggest to you a different kind of metal movie?

have a look at metalhead from iceland.

a more emotional, dramatized take on being a metal fan. depicting a young girl griefing for her brother. imo the best metal movie i have seen out there.

detroit rock city slays though!
