It’s guaranteed to, because I can simply play the game “alone”. I just need to figure out what I want out of the game, and how I want to play in the future. I am thinking of ferrying my ships out to a new “home” station, and just going back to Shinrarta in Solo if I want the discount and availability on ships and…

We are overdue for a “Mavis Beacon” Simulator, where players actually take the role of a secretary having to type out dictated letters from her boss. There could be a voice-over of different scenarios by which Mavis needs to not only push out the dictated note on time, but also make corrections because your boss uses…

Good commenting this week, and excellent thoughts on narrative, whether it be visual/environmental or literary. Even ShinigamiAppleMerchant mentioned how he preferred his Castlevania with less exposition and a deeper mechanical “story” - something Bloodborne succeeds these days in providing for the player more than…

I found that on mobile I have to say “Request desktop site”...sorry.

That’s exactly why I used the term “Pops”. Those are more casual experiences, and I need to learn that it’s OK.

Finally, you’re getting to see the Zelda Pops Concert! I bet it’s going to sound incredible to experience that music live...

No worries! Maybe we can share the “Holiday Blues” with the SingingBrakeman!

I’d forgotten about Terraria when I saw the Minecraft for 3DS...I’ve frankly not played either with any significance, so which do you prefer? Mind you, I love a little time for “chill” in my games, but I fear that I make it too much a priority and having an objective, no matter how esoteric, brings me back - like…

I wish you could pick out tracks a la carte! I think it was MK7 that allowed you to build your own Cup and share it via StreetPass. It would be fun to do something like that with Tournaments.

Interesting to think of classic Castlevania in terms of the LACK of lore and story - that the minimalism was a feature and not a necessity of the technology. Is it like the vampire action flick like Blade that just starts out with some cool action scenes and they only gives lip service to why, because we really don’t…

Editing can only happen for a brief period after writing, which is a bummer. I used to tweak wording and highlighting a few times to get it right, but now you just have to live with what you post.

Breath of the Wild is not a game that can be played in 15-minute segments. You need time to settle into the environment, because the game is so heavily dependent on your own sitational awareness and mental map. It’s almost a creative process, honestly - finding your way requires assessment and thought, rather than…

I envy your neighborhood that has 3DS units in your social circle! I’m imagining a Nintendo Karen kind of life, where everyone is smartly dressed and laughing and pantomiming broad gestures silently as they greet each other. The lighting is great, the food is plentiful, and the houses are spotless and expertly…

That’s awesome! Doing playthroughs sounds like a tough balancing act - at one point you probably get the satisfaction of seeing your game become real, but then you start thinking you can fix one thing, then another, then fiddle...

So, I got impatient and posted my WAYPTW on my blog site here:

The Bob-ombs did spread out the fields, and the lack of strong forward attacking meant getting to the lead early was paramount.

Great! Mario Kart 8 DX on the 18th will be coming up in a few days! You should join in on the fun! DrFlimFlam will surely be posting details as the time nears, and we’re happy to help you get involved however we can.

Recently, I finally established the reason why I have a fascination with guns and cars and ships in Elite: Dangerous - it’s the convergence of form and function.

Because I don’t know the first real thing about Destiny, I’m simply upvoting for correcting the astronomical information. Did you know Elite Dangerous once had an early update that (paraphrased) “fixed color of atmospheric worlds for the correct chemical composition of the atmosphere”. The same goes for mineral and…
