Shaka Zulu looked at his glorious holdings.

The cities of Nigger Bay prospered nicely. But the treacherous neighbours never slept, jealous of the prosperity of Zululand.

But the combined might of the Zulu armies brought all of them to their knees. The powerful spear-chucks sunk their vessels, ravaged their womyn and tore apart their tanks with their bare hands.

... and then one of his vassals MISSCLICKED on the diplovictory screen, voting for the Swedish menace... :neveraskedforthis:

Fortunately the game knew who was the rightful winner.

Who mastered the economy, the culture, the science, the armies. The world.

Shaka Zulu, you will go down in history with great fame.

Posted, so i could participate in the CYOA's in all of my glorious, presiding faggotory

ALSO, I don't remember how i did this glitch. I think it had something do with the scope modifications on the weapons or the binoculars

Countdown: Vampires

Bandai's somewhat infamous attempt at cashing in on the 90's survival horror craze kickstarted by their rivals, Countdown: Vampires tries its own spin on the formula by taking a dash of classic gothic horror and sloshing it about with both Dusk til Dawn's monstrously sexy vampires and Resident Evil's B-movie bioweapons. Reviewers were rarely kind to C-list also-rans without a strong gimmick to set them apart from the pack, and the game's sloppy localization, comical English dubbing, stiff controls and infrequent difficulty spikes no doubt contributed to the avalanche of middling to subpar scores. For all the negativity surrounding the game, it really isn't that awful, though it helps illustrate how just being "good enough" couldn't, by itself, keep the genre alive.

The story follows maverick cop Keith J. Snyder in the fictional "Sea Rim City" (somewhere in the same area of Nevada that inexplicably plays host to the ruins of medieval castles) who has been assigned to escort duty for VIPs as punishment for some suitably generic backstory involving a dead partner and numerous departmental violations. Attending a glitzy casino party alongside a number of other disgraced or unreliable law enforcement officers - all of whom are critical to the overall plot and yet completely vanish after the introduction and fail to re-appear until the game is replayed in "Special Mode" - our shirtless hero leaps into action as black goo floods the premises, turning hapless partygoers into bloodsuckers. Misato, a young Japanese cocktail waitress - whose greatest ambition in life is, like all Japanese women, to get knocked up by an American - soon falls under his protection, only for Keith to discover her involvement in an ancient prophecy concerning the resurrection of a vampiric Emperor. Cue the mysterious stranger, cults and corporations, mutants, ghouls, experimental monsters, classy hotels, ghost towns and underground laboratories.

Anyone who's played a PS1 survival horror title will immediately feel at home upon starting the game. There are a few mostly inconsequential additions to gameplay such as choosing your blood type upon starting a playthrough - which allegedly influences enemy placement and behaviour - as well as being able to stun and "cleanse" the weaker, cannon-fodder foes to improve your final ranking (important for accessing the "true" story mode and ending). For much of the first half of the game you'll also have access to poker and slot machines, which allow you to gamble for currency to purchase maps and healing items. Whilst there's a good deal of puzzles, backtracking, and key hunting, the game certainly leans heavily towards action-oriented gameplay. On Normal difficulty, ammo and weapons are plentiful (with the exception of Stun rounds, which will only allow you to save around 80% of the corrupted human enemies you'll encounter) and new enemies will often repopulate cleared rooms according to story progression. In retrospect, I paid far too much heed to ammo conservation in my first run, tanking a lot of damage and barely touching any of the weapons introduced in the later areas. Whilst the awkward combat probably won't surprise many veterans of the genre, the final chapters of the game can be somewhat sadistic, in several cases spawning multiple enemies right next to area transitions for cheap shots. Being stunlocked by three giant mutants within a few seconds can certainly lead to some frustrating deaths. Still, even players who've been relatively libertine with their ammo shouldn't need to worry about replaying sections too often, with the probable exception of the Special Mode's final boss.

This "Special Mode" is the main source of replayability, adding new cutscenes and memos that help flesh out Keith's and his compatriots' backstories (though they feel more like basic plot points that were cut for no reason), whilst unlockable infinite ammo weapons and a melee-focused "Vampire Mode" help squeeze further blood from the stone. Judging from reviews and many players' recollections, most people weren't even aware of these features, though perhaps Bandai felt that journalists wouldn't have enjoyed further exposure to the badly translated script and bargain-bin VA. Production values in general received mixed reception, with some viewing the pre-rendered Casino environments as overly garish, and many more dismissing the soundtrack as "flat...repetitive" and "tedious". Discovering it for the first time in 2019, I'm not sure the game deserved such a drubbing. Though a model of mediocrity, I can't see why anyone without a pre-existing aversion to console games of the era wouldn't be able to enjoy Countdown: Vampires. Give it a whirl if you like PS1 survival horror, though you might want to download a save with the Special Mode unlocked to spare you a replay for the complete story. I only played it for Mira's huge breasts anyway.

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Codex Year of the Donut Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Nice funky music at the beginning.
"What the heck is gonna to happen ?!!"

This is really RE levels of voice acting and script quality. And our hero of course goes bare chested to fight with vampires.

:thumbsup:

Kinda creepy transformations though.

Reminds me Vampire Rain intro:



With sound the grotesque transformation is pretty cool and disturbing.

Dawn of Man. Each of those mammoths contains 10 skins, 15 pieces of raw meat and 4 bones. Knowing the game's AI, butchering them and transporting those items to the nearby storage tents will probably take almost a season.

What tools do you guys use for taking screenshots? I've been using a little program called Dxtory for years, but it's not being maintained anymore by the looks of it and has issues with some games, and now it not being able to detect PCSX2 got me thinking of finding an alternative. Could use a proper image hosting site as well, imgur being what it is.

Taking another look at it, Nvidia's screenshot functionality should suffice. It doesn't have much in the way of options but that is one less extra program running. Now I just need a better site to upload to.

Using fraps with the paid licence to take uncompressed .png shots is mandatory in the screenshot thread.

Probably the last screenshot i would like to share regarding Deus Ex's glitches and shenanigans. It's actually possible to make UNATCO turn hostile towards Walton Simons

Forgot about this one
Are you an IT-HE?

Am i from this place? https://www.it-he.org/deus.php

Nah, that site looks cool, but i took these screen shots doing and finding as much bugs as i can.

I was also inspired by this amazing dude:



That guy mainly focused on finding funny glitches and bugs, but he sadly doesn't upload anymore
