Sadly, no. Is that every game Ross gets to play can be resumed in: skip tutotials, yell at game for not knowing how to play, out of place jokes, fail at understanding how game works, more trying to be funny. Except that this is Game Grumps, with Arin and Danny, not Steam Train. So what does Ross have to do with this? Unless you really needed to get your Ross hate off your chest or something. In which case, whatever.

We have to go back. Back to the island. (Probably my favorite episode in months. They crack out jokes like a fucking heavy machine gun. First time in a while I've laughed so hard it's hurt.) Spoiler OH HERROOOOOOOO

Not for anyone in particular. Just a fave of mine.

D- Did Dirk just- Oh my. I'm scared. >:

Aye, had the same. The ride never ends - even afterwards, you feel exhausted and you still have the Womb and onwards to go. Cool bragging rights, though. Plus the unlockable sounds very interesting. Also my favorite combo: Spoiler http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/539631098018644614/5A408705BE9B3EA56D5C7E833ADC8263E44C2B03/ I AM A WALKING RED RING OF LASER DEATH

Something cute? Yep, something cute.

Out of stock, sadly. EDIT: Shipping is roughly $60. nooooooope

Paycheck came in, as it were. I'm going to buy things from the What Pumpkin? store. Any particular recommendations? (Not sure I want to buy yet or not. The Hero of Space hoodie is out of stock, and I'm unsure as to how long it usually takes for them to restock.)

I really liked the Mario and Luigi RPG games. Even amongst other RPGs, I found them to be my favorites. It occurs to me I never picked up Dream Team, even though I played all the other ones. I probably should.

i can dream

That's a shame. That's not even what bothered me (I mean, it did, but not enough for me to stop reading, I'm not that much of a prude) but when did it become yet another Penny Arcade clone? Panel 1: Highlight game topic. Panel 2: Have Character A complain about topic. Panel 3: Have writer ( represented by Character B ) ignore or rebuke the complaint, thus showing how enlightened and majestic their knowledge of the industry is, as the fans bow before their endless knowledge and wit.

Does anyone remember this? Spoiler It was so nice. I liked the art style, that minimalist palette, the clever jokes, and for being fairly dramatic when it needed to be. I liked it. So now it's this. Spoiler what happened and why >:

Aye, I'm amazed that TF2 has had the lifecycle that it has. I guess when you go free-to-play, you've just got to keep the updates coming or it eats into your funding to keep all those servers up. I had expected it to be done by now, but I suppose it's still going strong. Didn't we have a thread about what we'd like from "The Final Update"? I recall that there was one like that. Anyway, Engineer, can't speak of them. Spy, well, he's my most played, and I'm not sure where he'd fit into rebalancing. Some items are fuzzy - Dead Ringer and Spycicle have been, and continue to be, controversial - but fundamentally, I think he's fine where he is. I'd like to see what they have in mind for changes.

> main character has a name typically associated with the other gender 11/10 skye would sell right kidney for pre-order I love the premise with the human on Alternia and the troll on Earth, and that concept art looks lovely. Looking forward to it. I can presume so, since that's the sort of in-universe genre of SBURB (like how Rose messes around with John's house by dragging his toilet and stuff.) Then again, the concept art suggests stealth sections? Hard to say.

I take back everything I said. in karts we trust

And this is mine (or planned to be, at any rate.) Settling on a role for now, simply because I find myself being the dead weight in high-risk heists sometimes, so I figured I'd learn to shout at people so that they can feel better. GETDAFUKUP After I got into Infamy, I'll try and find my ideal Jack of All Trades build (like 22-22-22-22-22 - I love symmetry). As a guy named Jack, the pun is too delicious to pass up, and I might find a new favored role in the process (Ghost and Fugitive keep beckoning me, but I lack the experience to know each heist inside out, so stealth is off the table until then.)

Yeah, but- ...Alright, fine, fuck it, I do want to ride on the bumper cars. I'll shut my grumpy noisehole.

So, if I'm not mistaken: Merasmus (again). Curses (again). Spells (again). Bumper cars (new). Well, not too bad for a Day 1, maybe Day 2 will have mo- Oh, it's just today. So... that's it. Uh. Alright. I'll try it. I guess. Maybe the hats will be nice? But halloween restricted.

Pretty sure we already had ourselves a little cry and winge about the show in the status update box a while ago, so we can leave it be for now. Give it another week or two and it'll be fresh hate again. Games you're playing for Halloween? I will eventually have to summon the courage for Alien: Isolation again. May also get in the usual Team Fortress 2, supposing I get the time during a bad uni "crunch week."

Little 1000 word thing about a setting where an ordinary human tries to just get on with their life in an unusual setting. Spoiler Megan was sat between a harpy and a naga on her way to work today. This was her normal Monday morning, in which she rode the Cloverton Bus #808 to the Cloverton Public Library. It wasn’t always a harpy or a naga - sometimes it could be an elderly woman with fangs, or a little boy with a tail and horns - but it was always the same story, as the girl was wedged between two people with extraordinary powers or supernatural appearances, while she was still yawning from her ordinary human lack of energy and scratching at the itchs in her coat and jeans. Megan was the 1% of Cloverton that was not the least bit special in any way. Megan liked it that way. The bus jutted around a sharp corner and the harpy man was sent knocking into Megan’s side. He began apologising profusely at the claw mark he had left in her coat, but Megan just waved it off and got back to staring dead ahead and wishing that this bus ride would end already. It seemed that the battle between the kaiju and the giant robot from last Friday had left some of the main roads in the north part of the town completely ruined, so the bus route had been changed to accommodate it. Like most buses, it had chosen a route very stupid and impractical, and like most buses, it was running late. After a few more elbow-bumping knee-jostling minutes, the bus ride mercifully ended, and Megan was the first to push her way to the door and free herself from her prison. Taking in one last breath of the city air, she stepped into the library and the stifling silence and musty aura welcomed her inside, much to her disappointment. Maybe one day, just one of these fucking days, a supervillain will finally be a hero and blow this place up. I’d get compensation from the insurance, right? I better. “Ms. Bennett?” An old crone cawwed at her. It was Ms. Barburn, the elderly harpy woman that ran the front desk, and Megan’s boss. Megan waited patiently for the rest of the incoming storm. “You are aware of the time, aren’t you? You can read a clock and understand what the big hand and the little hand mean, am I right?” “Yeah, and you are aware that I don’t drive the damn bus, am I right?” Megan retaliated, the anger of her morning already seeping through with no subtlely whatsoever. Ms. Barburn furrowed her brow, her wrinklies multiplying by several factors as she did. “Ms. Bennett, that attitude is not what we condone here at the-” “Then do you want to keep having a scene with me at the entrance, in front of our guests-” Megan said, gesturing to the few library patrons around her, who were now watching the scene unfold with silent judgment. “-Or would you like to let me go and do my damn job already?” Ms. Barburn’s mouth jutted open and Megan braced herself for another rush of hot wind, but the woman’s eyes darted to the visitors watching her, and her jaw slowly returned to whence it came. She gave a snarling look of disapproval at her newest member of the sacred library working crew, and then cocked her head to the side, telling Megan to leave before she changed her mind. Megan happily obliged, walking past her and further into the library. She had no doubt that Ms. Barburn would chew her out later, but Megan knew that she wouldn’t be fired - the library was a government-paid building, and most of the yearly budget was now going towards more crucial buildings for structural reinforcement and greater security, due to the rise in monster attacks over the last few months. The library was underappreciated and, more importantly, understaffed. It was one of the very few places that would accept Megan as a “C-grade non-altered non-powered human female with a foul temper.” Megan rounded the corner of the Young Romance section and, as she had fully anticipated, her co-worker was already double-checking that the books were correctly ordered. “Hey, Megan!” Lana said, not looking away from her duties. “I heard that commotion over there,” Her ears twitched instinctively, and Megan had no doubt that she was right - with her super sense of hearing, Lana probably heard Megan coughing as she got off the bus outside. She briefly wondered on how poetic it was that an anthropomorphic wolf girl could easily track her. “I hope you’re not in trouble.” “Probably,” Megan admitted. “But I’m used to that.” Lana nodded in agreement. Even from a young age, Megan had been ‘temperamental towards authority figures’ and ‘intentionally seeking out disruptive outlets.’ She didn’t play well with others, she didn’t like taking orders, and she was always looking for ways to bend the rules or break them entirely. Having an occupation had tamed Megan’s wild side, but it still scratched and pawed from inside its cage now and then, whenever someone felt the urge to prod it with a stick. “Well, luckily, it feels like it’s going to be a slow day,” Lana mused, struggling to reach the higher shelves. Megan rolled her eyes and began to help out at the higher levels, where her ‘beanstalk’ physique was better suited than Lana’s short and chubby posture. “Thanks.” “Let’s hope,” Megan mused. “I feel like shit today.” “Sorry.” “It’s not your fault.” The two girls followed their orders (Lana doing so diligently and with a smile, with Megan trailing behind and trying to look busy) until the clock read twelve. Lana wagged her tail as she noticed the time. “Oh, awesome! I’ve been starving since I missed breakfast. Harry’s for lunch like always?” Megan tutted and shook her head. “You didn’t hear? The place nearly got burnt down on the weekend when some kid with fireballs threw a tantrum. They got insurance, but it’s still gonna be closed down for at least a week or two.” Lana’s ears drooped against her head. “Aw. They had a deal going on for Mondays.” “Yeah,” Megan said, already stepping outside and brandishing a cigarette - her sweet reward for three hours in non-smoking confinement. “Might as well go to town, see if there’s anywhere new to try. Come on.” A drop of rain slapped down into the pavement just in front of Megan, who retracted her foot in disgust as a few more followed. Her eyes crawled upwards to look at the grey clouds overhead, and rain began its slow but steady downfall on the two of them. Lana shook her wolfen fur instinctively, while the Cloverton Bus #808 passed by without stopping. Megan sighed, drawing deeply from her cigarette, as two robots duelled with each other overhead amongst the skyscrapers. It was none of her concern - she wanted to get some lunch. It was a Monday afternoon for Megan. Haven't really bothered with editing, just trying to get a feel for things.

I get the feeling you really like a specific game. At least be subtle about it! nah but seriously, interesting theory

All the stuff said is perfectly valid, I suppose. My unique perspective is probably because I have long since become immune to hype and used to the sting of disappointment, as Sonic 06 ripped out my beating heart and beat it against a wall until it ceased to function and it stuffed the blackened carcass back inside for me to carry to my grave. I no longer feel the alien sensation known as 'excitement' or 'happiness'. I still believe Crimefest is good for what it was - free DLC - but I totally agree that a) it was really overhyped, and it could have been condensed from 12 days into a week with ease. I'd put more fault in the marketing / PR department at Overkill than the rest of the crew. Here's hoping The Diamond is the next "big thing." I'm still well chuffed about Ol' Hox and my beloved Fugitive tree.

Fair enough - I'd say the whole event, as free DLC, was about three stars when it was advertised as a five star event - although I should note that in my entire history with this game and with this thread, I've never met anyone who was happy with changes in Payday. Seems that nothing Overkill adds to the game is "worth it." It confuses me. Here's a confused face. .3.
