I love doing high Charisma builds when they have a noticeable effect on the game. New Vegas I felt it was pretty useful because the speech skill actually made things easier.

I'm playing the Wii U Virtual Console version. Normally they are straight up emulations of the original game, but the first Zelda game is an emulation of the GBA port of it for some reason. I've heard about a glitch that if you rapidly pause/unpause the game while hitting something with the elec beam it will count as…

I think the first one is supposed to be hard, but the second and third are harder. And if preteen me could handle those, he can probably handle the first one I hope. I don't know if I'll 100% the first time because unlike 2 and 3, you don't need to do that to fight the true final boss.

Luckily intelligence is nerfed from 3 with regards to skill points. So I don't feel like I'm entirely shooting myself in the foot just so I can guess a password right by mistaking a security robot for an ice cream machine. Plus DLC raises the level cap to 50 if you have all of them.

Oh, I meant to specify I'm playing the first Country, the one from 1994. Me and my brother did manage to beat Returns, but it was brutal in so many ways. I'm kinda of glad that Tropical Freeze eased up a little more. Gear Getaway is one of those songs I love hearing outside the context of the game, because inside the…

Oh right, directions. I was still getting lost even with that guidebooks because the 3D effect they were going for on Tokyo makes it more difficult to navigate. There would always be stuff that looked like it was close but just out of reach. (I also had a problem with this in Fallout 3 and the metro system. I'm just…

When I bought the game it came with a guide that had quite a bit of detail on things such as demon fusion, and a walkthrough for the first half of the game. I used it so much, despite the internet existing. I wish it did cover the whole game though. It also may be just a preorder thing.

Low intelligence runs bring some of the greatest lines in the game, and I found it totally worth it to play as a weakened character with it. "I is scientist!"

My best advice for getting the Nintendo Coin is to use the D-pad for tighter controls, and to be careful as hell during the 75 m stage. (Okay the latter is really not helpful I realize).I was so annoyed by the prospect of dying by making too big of a jump.

I do have an interest in trying an evil character in a tabletop game just for the flexibility the medium allows for depending on the DM. Too often playing an evil character in a game feels like the same thing as a heroic character except you stop to smell the roses, and devour some puppies. The only time I've seen…

The Question: I've only played one campaign of D&D as the entirety of my experience with tabletop RPG's and I've never played an evil character. (The only member of the group who did played a really stupid evil wizard. I'm surprised the rest of the party never considered shanking the character in his sleep).

I will always wonder what Earthbound 64 would have been like. Though I'm pretty happy with Mother 3 for the GBA. The N64 was really lacking in RPG's.

Oh, so they are indeed recasting his parts. I had a weird morbid interest in seeing how they would handle killing off all his characters. (In unison): I must go now. My home planet needs me. (Flies off the screen in a bit of terrible animation)

I kinda of wish I've never seen that Return of Kings site before, so that way I could pretend that it's a parody site. I mean calling Mad Max an American movie almost clinched it for me. But then I remember I've seen the site before, and I've seen a piece that was really just too awful to be a parody. And then I feel…

Strangely enough, the one time I had Gamergate shit pop up on my Facebook, it was a longtime friend railing against "SJW influence in video games". I was really unsure of what to do about it, the whole thing had a "Someone else is playing with the same toys I am, it doesn't feel special anymore!" vibe to it. I was…

And one day they awoke and realized that their entire comment community was made up of lesbians.

Yeah, I can definitely see the saturation thing. It's probably why I don't mind pop music now, where it would frequently irritate me when I was a teenager. One reason is I've tried to become more relaxed about things, but the other is that it's easier for me to only listen to music I want to listen to. (Not having to…

I grew up in a semi rural part of upstate New York. I don't remember masturbation being really brought up in health class. I didn't realize that female masturbation was a thing until I was older. (I probably had subconscious bullshit ideas about female sexuality, but its not something I really thought about). The…

I'm…. not sure if I have any updates to my social life. I'm in the last week of classes of my undergraduate so I've been really busy with presentations and essays and the like. I actually have a poster presentation in an hour that will be the last thing I do for my bachelor's degree. I hope no one has actual piercing…

Oh I've given up on trying to determine what counts as alternative as opposed to mainstream rock I guess? (I'm just going to take my Queens of the Stone Age albums and hide in the corner, away from genre classifying debates).
