Bloodstained. I'm playing it. It's good.

Doom 2016 was to Metroid Prime what Doom 93 was to Mario 3.

Wookies look like SHIT

Finally got in the mood to pop the Criterion Channel trial. Going to watch Chimes at Midnight first. Probably Kwaidan tomorrow. I wanna watch things I'd never blind buy like all those Jim Jarmusch movies.

He just woke up is why he had the quad-stream.

Remember to get your switch online free 9 months from that twitch prime deal from a few months ago. It's convoluted but doable.

Just became aware of Clark Ashton Smith. Are the Collected Fantasies the go to books? Is there something missing or more complete? I'm fine with kindle books unless there's unavailable stuff like when I wanted that Cordwainer Smith Rediscovery of Man book. I may have already bought the first two volumes after seeing there was a five dollar credit deal on Amazon.

Yeah, this game on a living console is fucking tremendous.

Check out Natural Selection 2.

Speaking of Virgil Van Strikes. Wrestling superstar "Virgil" is doin' stealth camping videos on youtube.

DK classics is the only version I will ever play

Nailin' it.

and PSM #2 are hallowed tomes of great repute in my household to this day. From the first screenshots, Bloodstained has looked like some PSP turd game even though the lineage is there. Still going to play it.

https://greenlung.bandcamp.com/album/woodland-rites Best shit I've heard in a while. 'specially since Orchid is pretty much dead Briton Rites is inactive and that last Pale Divine album was just "good".

Assassins Creed Unity is free on uplay because that church burned up.

Watchdogs 2 was very fucking playable. Your enjoyment will depend on how much of an unprovoked asshole you are. You can just call the cops on bad drivers and people with dumb haircuts. 70% of the upgrade trees are garbage you'll never use. I want more emphasis on the gadgets in the next game. Halfway through AC origins I got the Season pass for 15 bucks. Then by the time I finished the main game I never continued while the iron was hot. Like, right before the very end I finally went north of the starting village and there's an obscene amount of shit I'll never see. I was playing Odyssey and liking it then dropped off. 25 hours in and I still didn't have that teleporting spear thing. I also think the graphics on Origins were a bit better. When yer coming out of a pyramid and you've got your torch on and you come up to the exit it's amazing. Mostly I've just been wanting to play hot jazz guitar.

I'm drinkin' Buffalo Trace and the new Black Knight just got a gameplay reveal. Upper playfield ain't blowin' me away on the premium/le. Game overall looks kick ass on the pro though. I also realize I'm insanely lucky to be within 45 minutes from Wizards World in Ft. Wayne. They get all the new shit along with their insane existing lineup. That place rules. They finally got some Jersey Jack machines and I played 'em and wasn't super impressed. Pat Lawlor's Willy Wonka is going to be revealed on Friday. Good week for pinball. I'm on Pinside but I like this board more.

Music sucks, graphics suck.

Somebody loves 1991 Sunsoft and Natsume.

No regular ass NES Contra 1 that everybody actually remembers.

What's up with the giant roosters?

I really fucking hate how the "realistic" physics feel on these zen recreation tables. Ball has one fucking speed. It never has any slow lobbing shots. Just screamers. No flipper nuance. Like, y'ever play real pinball? Flippers have different power levels. Then there's flipper staging. Can't tap pass when the ball is drooling towards the drain.. Post passing never works the way you want it to. You can still nudge pass like it's regular zen pinball. No micro-flipping. Nudge has no dynamic range. It's either full bore or so subtle you could never use it in the moment. You get like three hard nudges in a row before tilt warning even triggers and it will eventually cool down. You wobblin' near the outlane? Just blast that fucker straight up! The castle shot on Medieval is in backhand land. But real backhand shots aren't possible. The flipper rubbers are either dead or superball shit. The newer "zen" physics just trivialize shit. You can trap damn near everything like there's cassowary jizzum on the rubbers. Feels like Gottlieb system 3 flippers. On fishtales you just hold left flipper on plunge and you're drop catching. PROS: The knocker and other mechanical sounds kick ass. Ball travel sound not so much. Rolling backflip shots are realistic and reliable. In multiball, strangely, the realistic physics feel good. I can't understand it either. I like TPA and Zen original gameplay but these FX3 WMS tables just ain't that addictive to me. The zen tables also have their own layout and ruleset issues as well. Like every single shot having a multi-syllabic word to spell. Multiballs that take forever to qualify. Music is sack shrivelling ambient garbage. Damn near everything sounds like royalty free trash. Also, those Universal tables didn't have ANY GODDAMNED real soundtrack shit. NO FUCKING JOHN WILLIAMS on ET. The goddamned Secrets of the Deep had a reasonable faux Jaws ripoff noise. NO BACK TO THE FUTURE THEME. SHIT callouts. Like, they never have an exciting extra ball meltdown. Multiballs just kinda peter in. Like in E.T. and AVP. They LOVE those absolute dicktip end of the flipper shots for major targets. What the fuck. My favorite zen tables are DOOM(TWO dicktip multiball shots), Aliens and AVP(dicktip), Jurassic Park and the Mayhem(dicktip) one. I've played a shit ton of ET but still see the problems with it. I've beat the wizard mode on Back To The Future. I beat Skyrim but it took like 60 games to finally beat that last dragon. I only kinda liked Castlestorm(dicktip) and Wild West Rampage(dicktip) until I played them in VR. Castlestorm in VR kicks serious fucking ass. A major point being that the camera doesn't zoom in on the mini playfield so you can actually keep track of shit during multiball and get super jackpots. Biggest crime is that there probably won't ever be anymore VR tables made. Also a little pissy that all those marvel and star wars tables aren't on switch where I could really dig into them without distractions in portable mode. So yeah, I'm definitely buying volume 3 as soon as it comes out.
