It does look close, doesn’t it? I loved that game so much. That’s where my mind went.

That’s awesome news. I used it for the first time last year for a project and it was great and fit for everyone’s needs.

Loco Roco was nice and I don’t think its been mentioned.

I still have my War of the Ring discs! I should back those up. What a fun game!

I really like paychonauts (which my phone keeps trying to correct to psycho nuts). How’s this? I’ve always thought I should play it. I did not know until this thread that it has rts elements. I like rts games.

Do people have suggestions other than Kobo for a color ereader? I am trying to avoid feeling too locked down/in and thought Kobo was that. I’m still rocking an old nook I got for a few bucks at a thrift store years ago. I was led to believe Kobo was the most open option while still having access to local libraries.

This looks fun!

I watched a portion of a lengthy video about it from Josh Strife Hayes. It seems like one of those games that would frustrate and compel me.

I love No Mans Sky. I feel like I would tell people to be careful going to others homes as you can easily get past all currency hurdles… that being said, I did that and still had a blast. Also, don’t dig and then build in it, treat he ground like it will swallow you. lol

I see this all the time on Linus Tech Tips and it looks great.

Yes!!! This was my first Worms game. I think on Playstation 2. I loved it. I also bought the Xbox copy of Worms 4 Mayhem for the Xbox and played it on my 360. I think those games, even with their faults, were so much fun.

If I jumped in right now, should I just start with #2?

I remember even back then that the amount of people playing was the issue. It had this “fragile alliance” mode where you all would do a heist, collecting money as you went. The players with the most money “won” by the end. You could turn on your allies and try to take theirs and get to the getaway, but you could also not and then split everything 50/50 from all who make it to the getaway. Pretty sure you could even bribe the driver/pilot with a 50/50 offer to leave early and abandon everyone else. Or something like that. It was a lot of fun and certainly unique in its time. I actually got inspired and just found a video. Good times.

I’ve heard this a lot! I just searched “Earth Defense Force” and it showed me #6 and that makes me happy. Wasn’t the original on 360? I remember thinking it look like a bust and then hearing people pretty much say what you are saying.

If you’ve played it, do you think it is worth it to play the first game first? Both are on sale from Steam. These look fun to me.

I wonder what makes some of us like this. Is it eye color? Just duration of use? My partner uses the brightest setting on her phone and I use the most dim. I bought a nice gaming monitor years ago but I have it at 5% brightness and with all dark settings on everything so it kinda renders a big point of it useless to me.

The screenshots make me realize I am still a giant coward when it comes to real horror in games. Tossing the PS1 controller while playing Resident Evil or yelling “no no no” in Condemned. I love the look of this, but I love this for you.

I have a friend who got into owning a chain business location. They don’t want kids (nor do I so no judgement), so he would spend months at a time gaming. It was a bit cool and a bit sad, only because he used to be more active. The area he lived in to do this was super undesirable and other towns were an hour-plus away. I’m talking gaming from eyes open to eyes closed with the small breaks to crunch some numbers.

I also gamed obscenely when I was young. I don’t miss the long duration but I do miss the eagerness for each new experience that I think came from gaming as thing rapidly got better.

Yes! Plus there is the ::: naked run ::: level where we squealed our way through it. A hot take to: the online was fun and under appreciated from what I remember.

Edit: I don’t know how spoiler tags work.

Kane and Lynch 2 was an amazing experience with a friend. We talk about it as much as Gears of War for all of its impact. Reflecting now, I still think it has style.
