The Switch is looking to be a home run, the handheld seems to be winding down, and the sky's the limit for Pokemon hopefully.


Anyway. They released more info on Splatoon 2, seems like it'll be a solid franchise from Nintendo so that's neat

Still hoping for Pokemon

Post your horrifyingly delicious things you've enjoyed here!

Planet Coaster is an okay game with shallow management mechanics but deep coaster design.

Parkitecht is in early access but is shaping up nicely.

RCT is dead

Hey guys,

We should do a podcast. We have great cast between us, enough that we could probably herd 4-5 people together at a scheduled time. Enough so that not everyone would have to participate every week if they don't want to, but not so many that it would be unruly if they did.

Idk, I like talking about games, I think you all do to or you wouldn't stick around at this point. It seems like this site gets views from somebody so maybe they'd listen to us and tell others to since we have such fun **** to say

I think we all have fun stuff to say about them, and I think a live-discussion each week would be something worth exploring. We could aim for a 45-1 hour show, talk about games and whatever else comes up as most formats seem to allow.


Let me know if there's any interest in this, maybe we could even ask Steve to route us as a related channel to help with initial listener count


I'd be down, Monday and Tuesday afternoons PST are best for me; we could wrangle up a skype or discord chat and record it like ThreeMovesAhead does.

We can do this I think, and I believe even have some minor amount of success in garnering a few listeners. It'd be worth my time just to chit chat with ya'll weekly about what we're playing, what we're looking forward to, what we think of current games/new games/games news that pops up

There isn't a topic and there should be.

I like this game quite a bit and am looking forward to the new expansion. I sometimes watch the tournaments if I happen to have the time to kill, it's entertaining.

I usually stick to The Arena since it's the best game mode imo, and the most 'fair'. I usually will play each month to rank 20 to roflstomp the noobs and get easy quest rewards/win-streaks. After that I'm basically SoL since I don't have many cards, Leeroy is my only legend, no solo adventure packs, and I can't seem to break out of 20 haha

Still it's fun stuff. Tavern Brawl really helps me clear quest and win streak gold later in the month since once I'm rank 20 I'm out. I really like them and the free pack is really nice.

Good stuff. I'll take any of you 1 on 1

Honestly, this game is bomb.

It's like if Baldurs Gate 2 was slightly less epic, but way smoother, better put together, and had more options.

Combat is difficult to start, but if you decide to get into it you'll eventually be mowing down enemies in a flurry of position reliant spells. Magic works with the X per rest, but some abilities can be used X per encounter, which makes for more tactical game play that is rewarding to grapple with and master. Seriously, once players get a party of 6, things really take off.

The story is good, the writing is actually good as well. It's compelling, it gives you many decisions that hit almost every range you could think of, it provides many stat-based chat interactions (I believe their occurrence is as follows: Resolve>Perception>Intellect>Might>Dex&Con; then there's also Lore>Survival>Athletics>Mechanics>Stealth). These can all lead to unique interactions that will give different outcomes. They're present in almost any quest, and really make you feel rewarded for actually being able to use your Might to further the plot without killing fools.

Stat allocation is linear, which is neat. The classes are all pretty unique but there's definitely some stand-outs. They're all pretty fun to play though, besides maybe a Fighter. The rest of the character creator is pretty extensive, too, with background and culture being additional choices that will have minor effects such as additional chat options, stat changes, and starting equipment.


Seriously though, the story, it's good. Especially near the end, the game poses a sort of unique scenario in which idk, I kind of resonated with and considered. It's fun, and worth the time to explore.

It's an indy Sim game.

Banished

Or city builder strategy. Whatever.

It's a colonial town builder. You start off with X amount of people, depending on difficulty, and you are put into a swath of untamed land. Survive, build, thrive.

Wood, stone, and iron are the main resources. Food as well, and firewood. You have to build their houses, farms, hunting cabins, storage areas, fisheries, tailor, blacksmitm, etc.

The tutorials are easy enough to follow and do a nice job.

Now, it has taken me a bit to get started since getting the hang of the mechanics (ie, schools to educate youth so they can do more than labor, cost me a generation), but overall I'm having a fun time.

I've tried jumping right in hard, but find I can't keep up with food requirements since I can't farm due to lack of seeds. My medium start is going well since I have decided large farms each year can ensure enough food rather than a slew of hunting and gathering lodges. Just need to somehow get a trade post in hard mode to get seeds before I reach critical mass. But I digress

The game has solid mechanics, and allows for some decent micromanaging. Figuring out how things work and what the best strategy you'll take up is a lot of fun.

Fires will end your map, though. Wells don't do **** or I can't figure it out idk yet,
