    Mario Kart 8

    First Impressions: Firstly, the game is beautiful, it's very Mario Kart-ish. Secondly, the maps are amazing, none of the new maps are overtly stupid in design, though Rainbow Road is pretty underwhelming to be honest, unlike past Mario Kart games. Sure it's pretty, but it just have that Rainbow Road feeling, not enough unique obstacles that make it stand out, in fact, it's pretty bland and straightforward compared to the rest of the tracks in the game. As for the Retro Cups, all terrible choices for tracks, the only decent choices are Tick-Tock Clock and the N64 Rainbow Road (which they used Double Dash RR music, which was a nice touch), though the Mario Kart 8 touches they bring to em, do improve them somewhat such as being able to underwater in Sherbert Land without just dying. Anti-grav is a nice touch, strange how you get a boost from bumping into people. Can be disorienting at times though. The gliding through air and underwater stuff is pretty nice, though gimmicky. Character choice is pretty nice, though Metal Peach (and Luigi) are terrifying. I also feel somewhat they just added in the Koopalings to just make the roster seem bigger. The addition of ATV's to the mix of vehicles is interesting, I wonder if they will expand upon them next game, considering there's only two of em in this game, probably as an experiment. Replay sytem is hilarious, though I wish you could record slow down and fast forwards and stuff, maybe next game. Aw man, I have an awesome shot of Koopa Troopa getting hit by a Blue Shell. Just after hitting someone, he's all happy, then he looks up and sees the Blue Shell and his eyes follow it as it's coming down and it cuts to black just as it hits the ground. It was hilarious. So far it's good, but not as good as or better than Double Dash....yet. Nothing has yet to beat that one.

    It's far more difficult to make minor adjustments in direction without a stick. Meh, iunno, I still like it better, but that's just my opinion, so yall can suck it.

    Wiimote+Nunchuck was the best way to play Mariokart Wii. Shame the servers are shut down. I would say the Wii Wheel would be the best, considering you know, it's a steering wheel in a racing game.

    TF2 general

    My rule of thumb is that there are less than two "power classes" (Soldier, Demo, Heavy) I don't go Medic, instead, I go as one of those classes. If there are at least 3 power classes and a Medic, I'll go to a support class.

    I think at the time, people were tired of playing as a Jedi and were excited to actually lead a squad of clone soldiers during the Clone Wars era. Also, by the looks of it, it seems rather challenging. Every enemy could be a real threat, even just one Super Battle Droid was tough to take down. It gave you a sense that you were a just one of millions of other lowly foot soldiers fighting a galactic war, in stark contrast to the unstoppable killing machines that the Jedi are always portrayed as. I also think that the command system (for its time) was very immersive and intriging, and the visuals were stunning. Obviously, compared to today's standards it hasn't really aged well. But, it's only $10 so I might go ahead and pick it up.

    Ah man, that would be so fun. But sadly, I only have the console version.

    Exactly, when you run out of ammo, just resupply yourself, then blow up more shit/loot the dead. I still wonder how the droids can use the healthkits. "No reward is worth this." -Han Solo

      Doesn't that happen every year? We get fires most years too.

      Nine distinct fires in a single city at the same time is pretty alarming, regular or not

    Game Deals Announcement Thread

    Arma 3 is on a free weekend, while ArmA: Cold War Assault is free now till Monday. Read a couple reviews, seems pretty cool. So I thought why not, it's free. Only 605 MB download, so it won't take up much on my hard drive which is nice. Plus since it's not technically F2P, it's stuck on my account, so if I want to install it on another computer, I don't have to go to the store page, enter my age, and all that crap. I just have to click install and it'll install, which is a nice little bonus.

    Apparently arCtyC, Edge of Reality's community manager, is leaving the team to go work at Epic Games. Iz sad day. Though he was a huge Gears of War fan before he joined EOR, so I guess he got his dream job. In which case, I'm happy for him and wish him the best of luck. I guess now Walter , the guy in charge of weapon balance, will be taking over the weekly steams now. (Or at least until they can find a new community manager) Here's the stream: https://www.loadout.com/forums/index.php?threads/dev-stream-the-end-of-an-arctyc-era-5-14-2014.9030/

    Try playing this game without dying once. http://www.addictinggames.com/action-games/zassin-game.jsp It really messes with your reaction movements.

    The first phase of Kirby 3D's final boss is epic. Not typically something I'd expect from a Kirby game. [spoiler2]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSPyka_fcu4[/spoiler2] Though the second phase is also cool, phase 1 is just much more awesome.
