That’s why I loved MXC so much. They took the inherent silliness and hilarity of the physical comedy of the game shows, dubbed over a ridiculous script full of (usually adolescent fart and sex) jokes, and created a highly entertaining spectacle. I haven’t seen it in multiple years, so idk for sure whether it holds up.

Moon Hunters is a great local co-op game. It’s not perfect - some of the characters are just better than others, and the fire cultist isa nightmare with a group of other players because of friendly fire. It’s no EDF, Broforce, or Rocket League, but for PC local co-op fans it kept us occupied for a while. At ~45…

CAH isn’t a great icebreaker, but it works well for established groups of acquaintances. I tend to prefer weird responses to offensive ones, though, so I’m not always on the same page as other players.

No worries, I do this all the time - it’s a consequence of having been born pre-Google ;-)

I love that this event exists.

I was wondering whether you’d opt for DOOM or Fire Emblem Warriors! You probably made the right call for general cultural awareness/writing purposes, though I’m a big sucker for FE:W. It’s a weird game that just gets better and better as you keep playing, though I guess Hyrule Warriors was kind of similar.

I loved Bayonetta 2 and thought it improved on the first game in every way.

I did finally buckle and buy the Steelbook Dual edition of Pokemon Ultras, my first journey to the Alola Region (and first Pokemon game since X/Y), but that’s going under the tree, so I won’t be talking about it for some time yet.

Not going to be playing a lot of games this weekend, although with Iconic Masters being released I’m probably going to get in a couple of drafts. I will, however, be watching quite a lot of people playing one specific game: Desert Bus.

I’ve been making a huge push for getting a Switch, so much so that my wife asked what specifically it does that my Wii-U and PS4 can’t do (what doesn’t it do???). Then she asked me how much they cost, I think I’m getting through! Just took 4+ months of making comments, I also like to believe my unborn soon is helping…

I’ll be bringing the Switch to the Thanksgiving gathering, so we’ll see what goes down there, but we definitely played a lot of Smash on 3DS whenever that was out. I can’t see that still getting played this year, though.

Made enough progress in Hyrule Warriors to see that the irritating Gohma fight seems to have been an anomaly- the next big monster they drag out is a much more interesting challenge.

What am I playing this weekend? DOOM, is what. I just grabbed the Switch version, along with Wolfenstein: the New Order (and “The Old Blood”* along with it). I’ll probably play a bit in handheld mode, but it’s kind of just exciting to see a hyper-violent id Software game on Nintendo hardware. I also “eagerly” await…

Going to top this off with a question since most of you will be embroiled in Thanksgiving next week:

Salutations~

I’m of two minds on this. On the one hand, I agree that The Witcher 3 suffers from the same map-based collectathon issues that most other open-world games include. On the other hand, its sidequests have a significantly greater amount of depth than others do (even including Breath of the Wild, which is praised above).…

I thought the alt-right already had an official greasy, orange pile of garbage that makes your stomach cramp just by looking at it

*SPOILERPLATE*

The Deep Woods also has Dark Souls vibes, especially from the general lack of music. And Mount Volbono feels almost like a beautiful, weird indie game with its giant polygons and bright colors. In general, there’s a lot of interest in grabbing influences that aren’t Mario or Nintendo, and that’s a big part of what…
