Mister Jack

Bayonetta 2 is coming to steam.

I feel like this is going to end up being the general attitude the public has toward the NX even if they build it to give you free handjobs.

I hate HP scaling, especially in roguelike games. I get that the developers wanted the game to be challenging and all, but part of the fun of the genre is occasionally getting a great run where you're a shining golden god that destroys everything in your path. This almost never happens in the first place so it's not like the game is broken by any means, and all HP scaling accomplishes is turning enemies into bullet/damage sponges. I thought sponges were supposed to be a bad thing?

I was torn between putting this here and putting it in the US politics thread.

This game has to be the hardest out of all the roguelite games I've played, and I've played quite a few. Of course, to REALLY beat this game I'll have to beat it with all four characters and then do the extra level, but for now I feel like beating it even with one character is quite an achievement. Edit: Holy crap, I beat it with a second character on my very next try. It took almost 30 hours but I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of this game. Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: And a third character! This is so weird. I knew I'd get better with practice but I didn't think I'd suddenly improve this much. Edit 3: The Final Edit: And now I've beaten it with all four...I went from thinking I was never going to beat this game to beating it with all four characters in the same day. What the hell happened? Did I get sprinkled with fairy dust while I was asleep last night or something?

And now I've beaten Rise of the Tomb Raider. Still no steam sale, though...I'm not sure where to go from here. Guess I could just keep playing FFVII or try to actually beat Enter the Gungeon, but damn that game is hard.

Remember when Valve used to make actual games?

There's a lot of method acting annoying a lot of people to varying degrees, and you often hear about this sort of stuff from directors too (Hitchcock and Kubrick?). To me it seems very selfish from an actor and from a director, if they can't get a good performance out of their actors without abusing them they're not good enough at their job. I don't think filmed entertainment is important enough for the 'end justifying the means' platitude which to be honest I'm not a fan of anyway. here's the link the quote's from it's a list of different actors getting into role, not just about Leto. That's just dumb. Even if it wasn't completely obnoxious, does Joker really seem like the type of person who sends condoms and anal beads to people? It just shows a total lack of understanding of the character and makes me even more skeptical of Leto in the role.

Hear about how Harriet Tubman is replacing Jackson on the 20?

Did anyone play the PC version of Rise of the Tomb Raider and find themselves having trouble getting it to launch? The game itself works fine whenever I can actually get it going, but it only seems to want to actually start maybe one out of every twenty times. So annoying.

Since I started FFVII to see if I would want to take the plunge on FFIX's PC port, I figured I might as well finish FFVII. The port is a mess, but I installed some mods to improve the experience. First, I installed a mod to alter the controls so they'd match the original Playstation controls minus the O and X buttons being swapped. Then, I installed another pack with a number of improvements. Firstly, it puts in a new script for the localisation, which was sorely needed if you ask me. The original translation left me scratching my head because I just couldn't understand the game's story, plus it was just full of mistranslations (Safer Sephiroth, anyone?). It also upped the framerate on the battles to 60fps, which has the added side effect of making the standard attack animations play out faster. Some of the menus were resized and repositioned too. A subtle improvement, but appreciated. Finally, the goofy looking field models of the original game were touched up to better match the battle models, meaning that Cloud goes from this to this

Next to Jojo, I think My Hero Academia is my favorite anime right now. Having read the manga, I can say that so far the anime seems to be putting extra little artistic touches on the show to give it an extra injection of personality, which definitely works in its favor in my opinion. Uraraka has only had a few lines so far but her voice melts my heart. I'm still waitin' impatiently to see my personal favorite show up, though.

Well I gave that Powerpuff Girls reboot a chance and it's fucking awful. It's like pure cancer in animated form. The art is shit, the voice acting is shit, and the writers are actually using memes from ten years ago as jokes. There are lolcats and rage faces in this thing, and god I wish I was making that up. I wouldn't be surprised if Craig McCracken kills himself just so he can roll over in his grave.

And beat the second one now. Time to move on to Rise of the Tomb Raider, I think.

So my laptop runs like a dream when I have it plugged into the AC adapter, but when it's on the battery the sound is choppy and videos play at a choppy framerate. Anyone with a laptop know what that's about and how to fix it?

Since I've been going through my backlog lately to kill time until the next steam sale happens, I went ahead and got through AVGN Adventures. I was perfectly capable of running it on my old PC too, of course, but I just never got around to it. Figured since I bought it, I might as well play it. Also, the second one just came out and it looked fun so I wanted to get that, but not before beating the original.

Can anyone confirm that the DS4 works with the PC version of FFIX? I am having an unbelievably hard time getting it to work right with FFVII and I'm not about to buy another port that fucks up something as simple as the controls.

I finally, FINALLY beat XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within. It only took me five tries spread out over several years. Also, the ending cutscene kept crashing on me and for a bit there I thought I wasn't going to be able to get the achievement for beating it. Not funny, Firaxis. Fortunately, verifying the files solved that problem. The ending sucked, by the way. After all that trouble I expect to see people throwing parades in my honor, or at least for someone to tell me I did a good job defending the entire human race. Nope, nothing.

God, Joker and Deadshot look worse every time I see them. After Jesse Eisenberg turned out to be exactly as bad as everyone knew he would be, I have no hope whatsoever that these actors will surprise us like Heath Ledger did.
