Watched season 3 of Rev. over the week. Good as always, but yeah, quite noticably darker. Episode 5 was maybe a bit much (but still affecting). Anyway, I'm not complaining because this is still one of the most reliable shows in terms of getting me to laugh out loud, as opposed to doing one of those satisfied "Heh,…

No idea, to be honest. I also only ever played Uncharted 3 (it was on PS Plus a while ago and I finally said "Why not" just this month). This http://www.giantbomb.com/ar… explains the story, but in the end leaves it at a rather nebulous mention of "dead zone, velocity and stick aiming changes".
Yeah, I think so too (that's what I wanted to allude to with the "staggering stew bum" comment). Admittedly I hadn't even tried the optional Uncharted 2 aiming because I wanted to play the game as intended, not as patched due to internet outrage.

I really don't know why, but I love pirate ballroom dancing and do it as much as I can. I'd easily pay 5 bucks just for a simple widescreen patch for that game.
Luigi's Mansion 2 is more of a slow-paced graphic adventure, but with some action that mechanically works like FISHING!!!. It doing gangbusters is one of my favorite gaming miracles in recent years.
Yeah, the second half really, really soured me on Uncharted 3. It's never great (the expression "staggering stew bum" was well-earned), but the first half is a servicable explosions-and-quips delivery machine, and the exploration:puzzles:combat ratio was well tuned. And then suddenly it's just all wave-based…
I'm gonna finish Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, which is taking longer than expected. Considering that I've surely played each of the levels ten times by now, I'll probably wait before diving into Revisited. Got my sights set on Ore no Ryouri instead, which I know very little about. So that should be fun.
I just raised my glass to this. What, it's just tea.
Absolutely, and I'm not faulting the album for not really having a standout track for me. I find it remarkable and take it as a sign of consistency more than anything — it's a great album even if I'm not wholly on board with the instrumentals (which, if I had to put a finger on it, I'd say are a bit too slow more my…
Hey now. I thought Epiphany was pretty good.
I'm shocked that you're even able to pick a single standout track. I don't love the production — it's well-programmed and varied, but it mostly fails to really grab me, both from a mood and straight banger perspective — but holy hell does Pharoahe go wild. Those LL Cool J bars on Damage get me amped like nothing and…
Oh hell yes. She brought that kind of smile where I felt confident making a comment about it to the friend I was watching with because I knew it'd be a thing everyone could enjoy equally. She said she hadn't paid attention, hit rewind, and went "oooo" in wide-eyed admiration.
Truth. I started on Hard because I heard it's a fairly easy game and it's exactly as you described.
Rewatched Tampopo. It's been a long time, and I can happily say it made more of a connection with me this time — which is weird because it now seems so easy to connect with. The scene with the dying housewife in particular, where her husband pushes her to make dinner while she's on her deathbed, is one I felt I…
I'm not sure myself, but that's what I heard too. I also recently heard that the PS3 version apparently internally runs at 4k resolution, so that one should look absolutely painterly if you can manage to borrow one for a while.
It's aged well for anything, really, and when the art crowd get wise to low-poly, MML will be one of the most frequently pointed to works, no doubt. If it's good moment-to-moment gameplay in a 3D Zelda you're looking for, Okami is definitely the place to go. It has the verticality and platforming you briefly thought…
I think what he was getting at wasn't that it competes with flying sushi chef octopodes shooting down cat-headed airships in terms of weirdness, but its uncanny valley-esque weirdness; it's off, but in away you might not even notice if you're not entirely lucid.
