Please hakuna your tatas, m7...

Although, I guess, nevermind, though...

Here!

Have some footage of me, bullying civil protection, with the help of source engine shenanigans!

As you would've guessed, I'm really not taking it very seriously, at all...

[Polaris]

Hmmm...

Been playing a little bit of Half-Life 2, recently, but I'm not taking the game seriously at all. With using casual parkouring profficiency in valve's engines to bully "innocent" cops, before bhopping away with 130 KMh...

A game I have really been looking forward to, is subnautica. Soo far, that very game is my favourite example of an "indie gone right"!

It's a single player survival game, where you play as the soul survivor of a research spaceship that mysteriously crashed on an alien ocean planet. You need to learn how to scuba-dive, and gather resources and stuff like that, soo you can build a base, and a submarine. (because, why not? Submarines are cool!) But then you find out that there's a little more going on, on the planet, and such...

It's a really beautifull game!

Not "scary" alien, but "just alien enough to make it a little more beautifull!"

I can't really play it at the moment, though... Because it seems that 6 year old graphics cards don't fare too well with still-in-production games...

Aaah, Subnautica! I have that game and have played it quite far already with several hours gone into it! Definitely a game worth playing! It is indeed one of the best examples of a indie survival game gone in absolutely right direction I just love the whole concept of deep sea exploration and what lies in the most darkest depths of the utterly alien world you have no knowledge of!


The graphics are quite beautiful, the gameplay is quite smooth for an early access title with very little noticeable problems still lingering that do not hamper your experience, and overall the music and the general ambience of the game just makes it even more immersive to feel you're all alone in a mysterious faraway alien ocean planet filled with wildlife out from your wildest imaginations!

Yes, we are everywhere!


And currently I'm mostly only looking forward to Pokemon Silver on the 3DS, which should be out in a few short days and Pokemon Ultra moon which, will be out in November.


Then, I'm also drooling over the latest Zelda game that was released earlier this year.
I don't have a Nintendo Switch yet tho so I guess I'll  have to wait a looong while still.
It looks beautiful tho, and if it is as good as it looks, I'm sure I'd be in for a treat there.


Kinda do feel like I'm forgetting something here...

I've heard so much good about the new Nintendo Switch and how the latest Zelda game has also managed to make a name for itself that stands out from the most of Zelda games out there! I only ever played The Wind Waker and the Twilight Princess on Gamecube and Wii that I owned alongside PS3 and XBOX360 back in the day and will admit those were really great!


If only there would be more Metroid Prime games that go beyond the trilogy we experienced on both GC and Wii! Those were some of the best FPS games I've ever played and would go so far as to place them right next to the greatest FPS giants like Half-Life, Doom and etc!

Polaris, do you watch IGP?

By far my favourite Frenchman... He makes vids on subnautica!

[Sub-Zero Knight]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has consumed my life.

Hope this week will be better for me than my previous which wasnt the best at all    hope all you wonderful folks have a goodnight/day


* plops over and passes out  *

RIP, y'all...

How's it going?

[Cheza]

I'm being a responsible adult and doing useful things!
Or, at least I'm trying.
Because fren will possibly come over next week and I want my cave to look perfect for that.
It's not like it's bad or really messy here or anything, it just looks a bit lazy.


And how are you?

Yeah, I also keep hearing how good the new Zelda is, so I keep getting more and more tempted to get myself a Switch.


Twilight Princess was my first own Zelda game, and I still absolutely adore it, replaying it every once in a while just for the heck of it. (I also partially blame that game for inspiring my choice of fursona xP)
To this day, I wish they'd make another dark and realistic-looking Zelda like that, but it'd seem like they've decided that cel-shading is the way to go.
That's fine too I suppose, as Skyward Sword was a great game too.


I'm still in the middle of my first-ever playthrough of Wind waker.
I loved the DS-sequels Phantom hourglass and Spirit tracks, so I'm pretty sure I'll like that one too once it really starts picking up!


And funnily enough, I have Metroid Prime 1&2 for the GC but I've yet to try and play them.
I bought a bundle of random used GC games a while ago and they happened to be in it.
From the sound of it, I should try giving them a spin some day! ^^

[Polaris]

Back from work and having a nap! Man, my work is tiring sometimes...


Heya, Brisky! 


As for your question to me from earlier, no I havent watched IGP!


Heya, woofie! 

Aye, Twilight Princess was quite a great game in the zelda series, while Wind Waker was more charming with it's cutesy wutesy cell shading graphics! Particulary loved the whole idea of whole Hyrule being flooded under the sea and people living off in islands and sea fortressess!


Never heard too much of the Skyward Sword really! You should definitely give both Metroid Prime 1&2 a go one day! Totally worth a try and will keep you occupied for months! 




Now here's a magically dissapearing kittie! 

[Brisky]

Just got back from college... It's boring since I've already had two years of electrotec at the maritime school. But I've had a talk with the teacher, and I may just speed my way trought the book, and get my certificate a whole year earlier.

But we got a little practice lesson today, hooking up a relay to some lights and stuff, and making it do a switcheover.

I have to say, I feel pretty bad for the guy who I was paired up with... I was pretty much just going like a whirlwind of capping all the cables, and putting them into the correct lines, and telling him what to cap, and what to connect. In retrospect, the poor guy, probably had very little idea of what was happening.

The only problem was that we both came with a rather... Creative... Way of splicing cables, by attaching some of these to the cables and connecting them with eachother to splice the cables.

Needless the say, the teacher didn't really approve of that, even though we stuffed them away in the switchboxes quite neatly...

But, on retrospect. Neither do I...

But, aah, I guess I've seen worse... What I did was mong bad, but it wasn't unsafe'ly bad!

Haya, Polaris!

[Polaris]

Heya, matey! Sounds like you had a quite of a day on your end to deal with, Brisky! 

[TenOfSwords]

That feeling when you accidently find your old best friend in a YouTube comment's section... and we still have each other's phone numbers.

[Polaris]

That sounds like an incredible coincidence, Ten! I don't think I've ever accidentally met any of my friends irl, or online when going on about my business as usual! 





That doggo looks utterly terrifying... 

[Brisky]

I accidentally meet my friends IRL quite often... Soo often it's almost starting to be suspicious... >_>

We don't mind, as it seems, though... Usually causes us to hang out for a while, and catch up on things...

Like last week, we were playing TF2 together, and Maxwell's younger sister had some sort of a date with some guy that she, long story short, only agreed with because she wanted to be polite.

Naturally, Maxwell and I crashed the hell out of them! Ended up quite blatantly joining them at their table in the restaurant!

No harm done, tough! All 4 of us had a good time, and not at anyone's expenses!

[TenOfSwords]

So, apparently Konami finally release a banlist for Europe/America now.

They sure did take their time for something very underwhelming.

[Cheza]

Had a delightfully broken BoI-run earlier.
Such beautiful devastation.
(Some parts are kinda flashing, so be warned.)


It's pretty rare to have runs where you can one-shot that big guy.
But D20 is insanely overpowered in Greed mode, and if I were to decide, it should either be removed or nerfed, like the IV-bag or blood donation machines were >->


I absolutely loathe Greed mode tho, so even if that item is run-breakingly powerful, I still pick it up if it decides to appear, just to ensure I win and won't have to deal with Greed mode any more than what's absolutely necessary.


Thank you Lootifer for your blessings.
And thank you Breadmund for not nerfing/removing D20.
Never let it be said you are not a merciful god.
