Awesome!
Despite being a "member" of NeoGaf for over a year, I was never able to post in the forums or contribute in any meaningful way. I hope I get a chance to join ResetEra, and contribute. Time will tell, I suppose.
At least there's a new alternative though, and the forum looks to be off to a great start. I'm happy.
I'll be going to a Halloween party on Friday. Some friends and I bought a bunch of those inflatable, puffy costumes (think the sumo wrester etc.) I'm going as a human that's being half-devoured by an alien. The costumes seem pretty cheap, so they probably won't last the night.
If I had a Switch, I'd probably play sick, and just stay in, and play Mario.
Hell yes. I've got an arcade emulator on my phone which works well for those long subway rides. I'm currently trying to get through Willow. Man, that's one tough game.
I finished up the campaign of Battlefield 1 not long ago. It was pretty meh overall. They could have done so much more with the action sequences. Very by-the-numbers.
Unfortunately, the multiplayer aspect of the game lags like crazy here in Shanghai. I'm at a constant disadvantage with ping rates at around 300, so that's probably the last I'll play of the game until I relocate to Seoul.
I'm very close to finishing The Evil Within 2. LOVE that game. I don't want it to end.
I absolutely adore TEW2. I'm going through the last few chapters slowly just to savor it. I really hope word of mouth spreads, and the game finds the audience is so deserves. It's honestly the most fun I've had with a game in 2017. It ticks all of the right boxes for me.
My first exposure to Dark Souls was watching a review of it on GameTrailers.
I hadn't owned a video game console since 2002 with the PS2. I had basically stopped playing video games for a decade after moving to Asia. I had so many other distractions in my life that I never considered buying an Xbox 360 or PS3 (despite still following gaming news).
My friend ended up leaving Shanghai in 2013, and he gave me his Xbox. I was pretty stoked as I had a ton of different games to play that I had missed out on. But there was one game that always lingered in the back of my mind. I re-watched Ryan Stevens' review of Dark souls, and say screw it, it may be super tough, but I've got to try it. It looked so up my alley, so I went out a bought it.
Because of that GT review, I bought the game, and ended up buying a PS4 for Bloodborne. It awoke my love for video games again, and I've never looked back.
Pretty bummed out about the GAF situation. What a mess.
I've been lurking at that site since 2012, and finally registered last year. After a years time, I still couldn't post, and when I asked about it, I never got any reply from the staff.
Despite that, I still went there everyday for gaming news.
Any idea when Blood will start steaming Dark Souls 3? I can't wait to watch it.
I'm enjoying it so much. Watching Part 2 gave me all kinds of feels. Dark Souls singlehandedly got me back in to video games. I hadn't owned a console since 2002, and it was Dark Souls and my friend's X360 in 2013 that threw me back in to games head first. I bought a PS4 the week Bloodborne was released, and I've never looked back.
