"I am the happiest severed floating skull with snakes coming out from my marrow you'll ever meet in a video game, and your party is dead by the way."

It's madness
The light spell won't shine
In the floor of madness
There ain't no air to fill your lungs
Madness!
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Dive towards the floor we go

"Yes my friends, rest and heal, so that you are strong and able to face the perils before you. Pleasant dreams."

Descending to Madness

I'm Murray the laughing skull!

Don't be shy, come closer, I don't bite, much.

It was aliens

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath

All in all, you're just more meat for the wall

It came from the deep

"I don't like dancing fags stand still will ya?"

"Hey! You! Yeah you! Hands up! And do the monkey!"

Into the vortex you go nigga

convenient tellyporta

(nice green filter courtesy of a giant spider that decided to appear out of nowhere and attack me just as I hit F9)

feels like i've been here before

i should have figured this game couldn't have ended without this fucker appearing at least once

final stats

weeeeeee

fortunately prisoner 849 is a man of many skills, including piloting abandoned shuttles

and your reward for finishing is you get to fly around the intro presentation level with a rifle equipped and shoot everything up like a moron

Nothing special here, really, but I feel kind of obliged at this point:

I didn't like Return to Na Pali. It has some atmospheric locations and good music tracks, but it's content from the beta version of Unreal. A funny thing, Erik Wolpaw, the co-writer of Old Man Murray and the Portal and other later Valve games, reviewed it for Gamespot: https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/unreal-mission-pack-return-to-na-pali-review/1900-2532791/.

Are you going to play Unreal II: The Awakening?

Recently helped a buddy screen-in his roofed deck on a weekend where he happened to pick up a cheap $5 projector from a garage sale. We hooked it up to an SNES classic and played some blurry-ass 16-bit games amid an outdoor summer breeze. Was a good time and his wife cooked some steaks.

Got me wanting to fiddle with retroarch and some blurry filters and retro games. Genesis is really an untapped system for me- I played Contra Hard Corps years ago but outside of that I've never really messed with it. Always had an Nintendo and PC. Despite Phantasy Star IV having basically no character choice outside of what you party members wear (you can't even choose which party members to take along until what I think is the endgame) I've been very much charmed by it. I like all the characters, the combat system, music and cutscenes. Really good.

If you play Armored Core with the English dub you're no raven!

AC6

Fuck the liberation front! even in the new game plus they tried to kill me.

This dude...

The space police! had some good fights.

Armored core is not dark sou-ACK! also fuck Ibis Cel 240.

First ending you either fight Walter or your tulpa waifu. Surprisingly Ayre doesn't evoke any emotion at all.

In the new game + & ++ Iguazu, shows up more. We come a long way from shitty "kono Stinger! im going to kill you kiddo!" to my nigga Iguazu. Truly they did him wrong.

I liked this gimmicky fight with Ice worm and I hate that faggot Snail he really goes "B-bakana kono SNAILERU!! KONO-ACK! *BOOM" when he dies.

Also, ALLMIND becomes more ominous in new game +

I really didn't like the "kill your fwends route", I actually like "Cider" Carla and her AI son...

Yet the faggots always tried to kill me, despite helping them in most of their missions.

Walter .

In the final route, ALLMIND starts giving you missions and starts pulling the strings.

In the end, ALLMIND basically uses you to trigger the third impact. and surprise... fucking IGUAZU! got absorbed by the ai! so you fight your rival one last time.

With your Tulpa waifu at your side.

That last part was Kino. You start to feel bad for Iguazu, also in the fight when you're winning, ALLMIND calls Iguazu a failure.

And that was Armored Sekiro 6, I didn't like some aspects. Ayre has no character development beyond "oooh Coral spooky sentient parasite gf" You can remove her and the story doesn't change that much.

I didn't like Return to Na Pali. It has some atmospheric locations and good music tracks, but it's content from the beta version of Unreal.

Yeah, I didn't like it much either, mostly because it felt pointless, and the fact that the rejected beta levels were the only ones that stood out among them all says a lot. Still, the two-level Tarydium plant was very solid I thought, and could easily fit in the base game.

Are you going to play Unreal II: The Awakening?

Nah, doesn't look at all appealing.

An X-Men game on the Quake 1 engine? I'm down for it.

Yes, I liked it, the combat there flowed pretty well.

Nah, doesn't look at all appealing.

It is more of a curiosity than anything else and at times it's so bad that it's worth playing just for that. It has at least one nice skybox too. It was developed by Legend Entertainment, the studio behind Return to Na Pali, which I suppose was an early indication of where Epic's focus was. Unreal Championship for Xbox was already being developed contemporaneously with Unreal Tournament 2003, but more importantly, I wonder how much Unreal Engine 2 was designed with Xbox and its limitations in mind. One tends to think of the third version as the one which became the standard licensed engine in higher-budget multi-platform games, but the second one was already pretty widely used, particularly in the various Tom Clancy's brand titles and three others of particular interest to the Codex.

I only wonder whose brilliant idea it was to make an adventure game studio develop shooters.

Been playing some Starfield. They have a fairly extensive photo mode, with various themes. I took some pics of the locals.

Playing the BFG edition or do you have a prestigious original copy?
Edit: Since I see the flashlight, I assume it's the original or a mod?

Anyway, good stuff, glad to see some Doom 3 love.

Also worth playing for the best EAX game peak 3d hw sound technology if you have an X-FI card. Mindblowing.

vegeta vs dodoria omg this dude hits like a freight train, if any of his hits land it's 20-50k damage (basically about 1/5 of health bar). I think just this fight took around uhh 2 hours and 30+ attempts

Original. I'm always sceptical of re-releases.
