Goofiest Game of Magic You've Ever Played

I think it'll be hard to top this, in standard anyway. He had two Seraph of the Swords on the field, meaning I couldn't hit in with my Child of Night which got ridiculously boosted by Sunbond (which gives a +1/+1 counter for every life you gain in a turn. I also had an Ephara's Radiance attached to ...

Re: Watch + Play

You've got to be careful, when inflicting a game, not to just inflict boring games, i.e. Hat Man. Air Control, in contrast, is a perfect example of the kind of game you want to inflict. Having a genuinely good backup game (or back up-up) like Goat Sim every week is also a very good thing. So aside f...

Watching him go from talking about how much he loves a game, or a game's design/concept, then seeing it slowly deteriorate around him and watching him go mad with frustration is pretty depressing.

Re: IDDQDerp

Hey Alex, I just watched the replay of you playing Lifeless Planet, and it has to be one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. I strongly recommend a good strong dose of The Brigmore Witches DLC for Dishonored. Cure thyself.

That was particularly fascinating, thanks for that Memo. It must be odd, one day finding out that you're missing a part of a sensation that most other people have. Sight is an amazingly complex thing.

Speedrun Life

I just watched a couple of Dark Souls speedruns (they're insane), and so I came up with this idea, that I haven't seen done before but it seems like it should have. Premise: Get through life as quickly as possible, hitting all the 'major milestones'. I'm not sure how you'd do it. Maybe it starts on ...

Re: The House of Stark

And I insist, the problem is that it breaks the inmersion, when considering going human one of the things to ponder is outside of the game itself, i.e., griefing players. You never actually do though, the only thing one should consider when going human is whether or not there'll be people/NPCs avai...

I wouldn't say 'usually' most of the MMOs I've seen have had non-optional PvP.

See my prior replies to my larger post, there are basically two ways to see Dark Souls. A single player game, or an MMO with instances.

It would be cool to see a return.

Re: The House of Stark

Personally I think that the problem with PvP on this game is that it feels out of place. It disrupts the atmosphere of epic loneliness of the game without adding anything to the experience specially when you're a beginner. And we all know what they say about first impressions, right? The loneliness...

The point about there "not being that many noob hunters" is somewhat undermined by the fact that we had a confessed noob hunter (talking about how it filled them with joy) in the chat the whole time. Yes, what was that, 1/500-600 viewers? Yes, Dark Souls is not beginner friendly, and it's...

I love most of the online features of Dark Souls. Seeing the messages, bloodstains and ghostly figures in my world is really cool. Hearing other players ring the bells or getting bonus Estus from someone kindling a bonfire are also great ideas. Being ganked on my way to the gargoyles because I need...

So, I was cooking dinner and I came up with a potential suggestion for a sketch. Premise: You see into the world of a 'real man' cooking.
