HEAVY SPOILERS!!! Youtube Video I don't hate her but I don't love her, still I can see her side except the torturing part. With that said, playing as her was more enjoyable than Ellie starting from the woods chapter and with all those awesome weapons. Also Abby&Lev was a good similarity like Joel&Ellie. Another thing is "momentum" upgrade, what a satisfying thing to do! Did I mention awesome set-pieces while whole island is on fire!!! And don't start me on that Rat bastard. God! I should finish this game again soon... Favourite 3 Abby lines: Goddamn it Isaac! He is just a kid!I'm not fcking move.You are my people.

Day 3 - Game with pixel art you dig 198X Youtube Video This is a short little gem I played close to a year ago. While I wanted to leave the day open to pixel art from all generations, not just modern pixel art, this was one that I thought bridged the gap. 198X is an homage to the glory days of arcade games through the lens of a teen youth. The games are represented beautifully, looking just like you'd remember them, so faithfully in its understanding of how the medium and visual style works that if feels just like popping those quarters in again. On the other hand, apart from the games themselves, there are also just fantastic vistas as the story unfolds; the protagonist sitting outside a convenience store in the rain smoking a cigarette is one of my favorites. There's just a beautiful styling to this game that really shows love to where its inspiration comes from, as well as a respect for the medium and culture of arcades that doesn't really exist anymore.

@dmcmaster Very interesting. I don't think it will be so succesfull money wise.

After being delayed out of Summer, Pixeljunk Eden 2 is finally releasing. Really looking forward to it. 2D Platformer where you swing around abstract "gardens" while collecting Pollen to grow the garden to progress. Soundtrack by Baiyon if you remember him from Day of the Devs where he made a song from ice in a cup. This next one I can't speak as highly of, but lots of people been waiting years and years for it to finally release. If you're into games like Earthbound, Undertale, or Yume Nikki, then it is probably worth at least keeping an eye on. Only PC for now, but they've said it'll come to Switch later in the past if you want to wait for that.

@e_zed_eh_intern I could do that but it'd be like spamming.

@dipset Shadow of the Colossus is absolutely on my list of most overrated games.

Yeah no pressure Russell... but also... anything less than pole position and we'll be upset! So does Bottas' wife divorce him if he loses to Russell, how's this work?

I don't know about you guys but the into to The Gen That Was is so indicative of an advertisement for cologne or something from Calvin Klein.

Ok this is suuuuuuper random, but Palladium is going out of business and they are auctioning off their game machines. There is some cool stuff in here like Bandai Namco's NFS Underground, Tekken 5, House of the Dead, and Jurassic Park Lost World. I have no clue if you gotta pick it up yourself, but the bids aren't tooooo bad. https://benacosales.hibid.com/livecatalog/247720/december-2020-amusement-auction/?fbclid=IwAR2Lp3arYtFeijaMrUFmLUTyeaP4C0O1inYwGUpVmLhQkFNijZvM11Owvlg

Well, looks like I’ll skip Valhalla and get Ghost. I’m actually pretty hype for the new year. — @E_Zed_Eh_Intern I finally got ahold of a human at FedEx and they claim they’ll try to deliver again today. Last time I talked to them, a robot over the phone made a loud noise that had my ear hurting for 30 mins, I thought I had tinnitus! I’m just shy of a month for this order to come.

@tokyoslim Just want to clarify that I’m not anti-crop sensor, I’m anti-Nikon and Canon DSLR crop sensors. Those are basically the same size as a pro camera, 1/2-3/4 the price, but with way less fidelity. I hauled a big Nikon DSLR up the Rocky Mountains lmao RIP.

@brawlman Yeah, I know. I assumed you played on PS5. I don't have neither at the moment unfortunately.

Kyle's doing a 12 hour charity stream from 3 PM to 3 AM Eastern time this Friday the 4th. He'll be playing Demon's Souls, and each time he dies, he personally donates $5, supposedly no limit. N.C. might be getting itself a new streetcorner pencil salesman... Charity is the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance.

Yeah I meant the Allies are calling the new season Hunting Huber: Revenge in the video titles, so I thought Revengeance could have been even more appropriate :)

I did great so far, 10/12, and I'll try to finally knock off The Wonderful 101 over the holidays. This year has been really good overall in terms of backlog clearing, to the point where I barely have any left, feels good!

I only listen to music by YouTube and physical CDs, and occasionally Pandora (which I would use more often if I didn't need a VPN to access it).
