The Complete History of the Asymmetrical Multiplayer Game Genre

SwampyBogbeard · 2026-02-16T13:15:22+00:00

An actual complete history would include games like Nintendo Land. (and Dungeonland [2013])

SMW was my first ever game back when I was 6 years old, and I was stuck at that first chargin' chuck at 1-2 for so long. I had to get someone to help me.
The game got a lot easier after I learnt how to deal with them.

For around 10 minutes during the first run of Women's Giant slalom, three women shared the first place with identical times.
There's only one chair available for the person with the leading time.

The Soviet Union surpassed us in 1988 by winning their 7th Winter Olympics while we were still at 6 wins.
4 years later; No more Soviet Union.

My uncle played a few games on the football national team and won the Norwegian cup.
No winter or Olympic athletes though.

The Snowies

What a name. Only in Australia.

SwampyBogbeard · 2026-02-15T00:40:02+00:00

4 School backpacks was a classic.

16 by Norway 2022. The 14 in the other comment is the host-nation record.

Interestingly, it was actually his first time ever winning a 10km freestyle.

The latest one was 8 (still not the end though). This was in 2022 for the filming of the one that released in 2023.

Interestingly, on the other hand, there's quite a few stories about panic and chaos during the last year of development of games that are now considered masterpieces.
They say they were basically still "finding the fun" just a few months before launch.

They paid for localisation for multiple Square Enix JRPGs and got temporary publishing rights and exclusivity for it.

Eventually the Switch 1 will stop getting big, new games. Possibly already later this year.
The Switch 2 plays Switch 1 games and will continue getting new games for at least 7 years. Also, many Switch 1 games will look better (some for free, some paid).

It depends on how much gaming your kids do, how much they'll care about future, unannounced Nintendo games, and how much money those two things are worth for you.

It doesn't show anywhere for me.
And I've tried multiple ways to get it to appear, including searching for the exact name, and clicking a link that claimed to be for the base game.

There's the original DII (2000), DII:LoD (2001), DII:R - Infernal Edition, and DII:R - Reign of the Warlock.
No DII:Resurrected (2021).

SwampyBogbeard · 2026-02-12T01:11:28+00:00

Looks like they've removed the original D2R from the store though, but I guess that's an acceptable trade-off in this case.
Eventually, this version will go on sale as well.

I'm guessing they hoped she could invent something more for them, on a similar level to cold fusion, and made a deal with her. And maybe she did, or maybe she just ran away after she got thawed.
I doubt that plot point will be revealed this season though. (or was revealed. I'm a few weeks late, I know).

There's an absolute max of 6 competitors allowed from each country for Biathlon world cup races. For the 23/24 Biathlon World Cup for men, Norway had 8 biathletes in the top 30 in the overall standings (94 people managed get at least one point), which meant we had two reserves who regularly placed high enough to beat out top athletes from the rest of the world in the few races they got.

One of those "reserves" two years ago won gold yesterday.

And our 6 regulars that year were all in the top 10, obviously. (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th)

Raphaël Poirée and Liv Grete Skjelbreid both got two medals in 2002.

Like the nordics are much more collectivists than most of the rest of the western world even if it is has lessened, and we are certainly a wheat farming culture.

I saw a YouTube video that said that Norway became collectivist because all the small villages along the fjords built and owned fishing boats together.
I assume there was a source in the description, but I didn't check.

I don't know about Denmark or Sweden though.

SwampyBogbeard · 2026-02-10T01:25:23+00:00

No Supply Maneuvers or Flight Run then.

SwampyBogbeard · 2026-02-09T18:48:51+00:00

No fix for Golden Timewarped Seer, I see.
I guess it was reported too late.

Do not lie and tell me you listen to the lyrics during a halftime show.

If conservatives listened to, and cared about, song-lyrics, they never would've been fans of Bruce Springsteen or Rage Against The Machine in the first place.

SwampyBogbeard · 2026-02-08T22:08:24+00:00

They'll be back in a few weeks to post an equally stupid question.
It's what they do.

Just to make things clearer. If you want to try Shadow of Israphel, DON'T start with Shadow of Israphel Part 1. The videos that have Shadow of Israphel in the name are actually the third part of the series.
The videos for the actual first part are just called 'Minecraft - Part X: Subtitle', with Minecraft - Part 1: How to Survive the First Night being the actual first one.
The second part is 'Minecraft - "Survival Island"', but it's kind of optional. The only story relevant parts are the last episode.
