Hmm. Up until just now, I always thought that Spiderdemons were the little ones and Spider Mastermind was the boss type. Apparently the smaller ones are Arachnotrons.

Except that that’s not the Spiderdemon. That’s the Spider Mastermind. Different (but similar) enemy.

There are quite a few mods that clear up the water for PC. This player uses one of them.

It felt like more of an homage to FF2 than FF1 to me. FF1 had weird sci-fi elements tacked on at points (Warmech!) while FF2 stayed fantasy the entire time. It definitely illustrates the “FF Disease” though. Each FF has something different in it while keeping a few linking themes like Crystals. No one Final Fantasy of…

I snagged it for PS3, same issues, which makes sense given that that was just a software emulated PS1 version. Haven’t tried the recent mobile or PC releases. It’s hard to make myself pay a 3rd time for something that I haven’t liked the first two.

I’d heartily disagree. I’ve played through FFVIII multiple times and still can’t get through Disc One of FFIX. The game design is a bit strange (don’t use magic?!) but works well once you adapt to the system.

See also FFVIII and FFIX. People crapped on the power up system and spaceyness of FFVIII so much when it came out. FFIX is as close to a “classic modern” FF as you get as a result.

I love how The Milkmaid reimagining adds in objects to the upper right of the scene. “Too much white space! I need to add something there!”

Yeah, during the tutorial in LoL they teach you about jungling and taking down the NPCs there for XP boosts. So I’m in mid in my first game with someone else there as well (don’t remember who, it’s been years). Lane covered, I see that there’s an area above me where an NPC may lay in wait. XP, right?

Thanks for the advice. That all makes common sense to me, but definitely great to hear that I won’t be doing something wrong by playing intuitively.

Tracer had me on the edge of trying HotS, but I think Chromie pushed me over. Hopefully it’s better than LoL was... where I got out of the Tutorial and was screamed at in my first fight outside of it for being a noob. In the noob game area.

I learned it as “Stalagmites might grow to the ceiling someday. Stalactites are stuck tight to the ceiling.”

That’s what A/SGDQ does. They filter what they can and moderate the heck out of the stream. ASCII spam, hurhurgurl on stream, racist crap, all of it gets deleted almost immediately.

It’s not even only that they’d be supporting 5 different game versions, but they’d also be supporting splintered code for each of those. For things like security updates, exploits, balancing, etc, where do you stop? If a piece of code has been touched 5000 times since inception, and it has dependencies on 250 other…

He lived through The Martian!

Watching both Parker and Lang geek out at being tapped by the Avengers and meeting everyone makes me want to see

Exactly how I took that too. His best friend in the whole world is near death because someone that is ostensibly *also* his friend just caused said near death. After he just barely failed to save him from the fall to boot. Tony isn’t thinking straight to start. Then, he gets a “Sorry”? I’m not sure I wouldn’t shoot…

• Producer: “Do we need to give everyone those doors or can we save them for a pre-order bonus?”
  
  As a Producer, I would never had said those words. That would be perfect for Marketing though.
  
  For me, it would have been more like:
  
  

The tile sliding puzzle also gave a small, but decent when you get the ship, amount of gold. It was an easy way to grind out cash quicker than killing enemies around Portoa.

His persona is completely different than his normal self. I was interviewed by him a couple times when he was working for Destructoid, chatted with him afterwards about how different it was dealing with Jim Sterling the journalist compared to Thank God For Jim Sterling.
