What game are you wasting time on?

[janior]

I always can cast map spell, which is really inefficient but is an option. If map's gonna become too fucked up i can always use internet. I'm using A4 paper, that's not gonna be enough?

 

[octavius]

Will be big enough for most maps, but not all.

 

[Excidium II]

Why not use the cartographer program to draw maps?

 

[janior]

Because it's more satisfying to draw them by-hand.

X-COM: Terror from the Deep. Superman run. Never done it before. Let's see if I can do this without wiping.

My fellow lobsterman says "Hahaha, no." :D

I'm playing Void Pyramid now thanks to someone's recommendation from the other thread. Fun little game, recommend.

Give me a long enough dick and I can move the Earth.

Finished UFO afterlight. At the end stage I get tired of waiting and just say fuck you I assault the HQ nao~ Still got Martian's two territories and the Elysium mountain left, but no biggie~

Immediate restarting with new campaign. Let's see how long before I get tired of it.

Spent the last week completing Kingdom Hearts 2. I think I've lost control of my life.

 

[Tacgnol]

Spent the last week playing M2TW with Stainless Steel 6.4.

Always loved M2TW and the various mods, but hadn't played it properly for like 5 years.

Replaying Dishonored to finally check out the DLC, using the ULTIMATE DIFFICULTY MOD.

It's still easy as piss, no surprises there, but at least leaning is nerfed. Only played the first mission of the DLC (slaughterhouse) but it's a really good map, quite impressed. Hopefully the quality keeps up - original game never quite reached the same heights as its first real mission with the Overseer, which was a huge shame.

Finally finished Kingdom, day XXI victory, gld I can uninstall it. Too bad I'm not even allowed to play on without enemies spawning. Next up, Gunpoint.

I got screwed and now moving on to my second attempt.

They did fuck me over, but the mind controlling cunts made my units kill each other. Funding nations were pissed, etc. There was no point in continuing. Doing slightly better now.

Hopefully OpenXCom doesn't screw you over with "Lobsterman season" like the original game tended to do, where the only encounters you'd have (outside of terror/base attacks) were Lobstermen.

The record for me was over 3 months.

Finally picked up NEO Scavenger. It's... interesting.

Finally finished Tales of Monkey Island, or Monkey Island 5 as everyone I know calls it.

Pros:

+ It's better than Monkey Island 4.
+ Having LeChuck as an ally was an interesting shake-up of the "Protagonist - Love Interest - Antagonist" thing that the entire series is based on.
+ Murray! :D
+ Some very clever references to the other Monkey Island games (and other LucasArts games as well).
+ Chapter 3 is the highpoint, feels very MI-ish.
+ Loved the way they rendered Stan's jacket.
+ No action sequences.

Cons:

- Morgan LeFlay Mary LeSue. There are times when I asked myself "Is she the main character, or is it Guybrush?" Everything about her character, backstory, storyarc and relations to Guybrush fits the trope. There's even hints that she was designed by a SJW (strong, proud woman of colour and all that). She's alright as a character to begin with, but about half-way through Chapter 4 it's just too much - and she's in the game right 'till the very end, even past the credits.
- Very few jokes worth a smile overall, let alone a laugh. Far too many of them felt forced.
- Clear signs that the writers have lost it along the way. MI4's biggest problem was that it tried to bring in too much of the "real world" into the game. MI5 continues this, with Marquis de Singe being the biggest example.
- Humanoids introduced. MI did just fine using humans and animals (and voodoo), exactly why was there a need to introduce a species of mer-folk into MI? And having their gender purposefully left ambigious? More SJW writing?
- Far too many puzzles are clearly made by "To do this, let's make him do this, and then this...but wait! That's too easy, let's throw in an arbitrary extra step just to stretch the yarn"-train of thought.
- Chapter 5 involves too much running about in circles and backtracking. By far the worst chapter of the game.

Overall: It sits above MI4, but below the others. By this point TellTale are losing their touch for making fun adventure games, this one felt too much like a chore at times. MI fans might actually be better off watching an LP of this rather than playing it themselves.

I revisited Pinball Fantasies, the old 21st Century Entertainment pinball game from the early 90s.

It has four tables, but only two of them are any good (Partyland and Stones 'n' Bones). It took me 3 games to beat my own high-score on both tables from ages ago, but it'll be a while until I beat that 384 million hi-score my friend got one time back in the day.

The music REALLY gets annoying quickly though, and the game does this strange thing that all SFX in the game is actually taken from a .mod file, the game just calls specific parts of the song when needed.

Out of curiosity I dug up a guide for the game, and it turns out there's a huge glitch that can be exploited involving Held Bonuses - if you can get that on several lives in a row you can apply Bonus Multipliers to it, which will then also be Held - meaning you gain tens (if not hundreds) of millions every time you lose a life.

I love Stones 'n Bones to death, but I disagree on the music, I could listen to that tune forever.

Fun fact (that you probably know) you can just replace the .mod with any other one. What do you think about Pinball Dreams and Illusions ? Not as good eh, only other one to come close was Epic Pinball.
