The first melee super you get, I forget its name, but you can hold down the button to keep going, can end up doing not only a lot of damage, but can also net an insane combo.  The only downside is that, unlike Super Ki Explosion, opponents are capable of vanishing out of it without bullshit NPC armour.  I think there's also a regular Ki Explosion, as well.  I've not found anything that can replace the Kaioken Kamehameha, though, in terms of damage, hit rate, or utility.

Soooo, Titanfall 2. I didn't like what I played of the first one for being derivative of Call of Duty. This one, however, is the most fun I've had with a shooter campaign in YEARS. Ironic that a multiplayer only shooter that no one cared about after a few months has such a great campaign.

This right here is a picture of me winning.





And here's my rewards for doing so. The first image is aircraft carrier Saratoga, the reward for clearing the final map. The second image is proof that I did it on Hard mode.

I feel good about this. I don't care what y'all think, I feel damn good for managing to win through that. Took me 11 days.

Got my first ending in Steins;Gate 0, and it was the worst one (lol)

(click to show/hide)

Oh poor Rintaro Okabe… a group of soldiers from Russia blow up the time machine, a terrorist attack on Japan which will essentially be the start of WW3, his friends are either missing, on the run or dead, and Daru is going to carry on with the time machine research, which of course leads to the future world being a pretty damn bleak place. No wonder he just gives up…

Already on the path to another ending (yay for auto saves at the various decision points), lets hope its less bleak than that, lol

While I know full well that pre-release hype is bad because the game most likely won't live up to whatever ideal I build up in my mind, nevertheless I cannot fucking wait until April.

In other news, hows the Steam sale treating everyone? So far, I've got a pretty decent haul.

Mad Max.
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Styx: Master of Shadows
Pony Island
Train Fever
Prison Architect
Cargo! The Quest for Gravity

This ought to keep me entertained for a while.

Picked up Darksiders Warmastered. I've played about half an hour. I think I'm going to enjoy playing an already great game at 60fps.

Beat Persona 4...my fucking heart, god damn.

[Art Vandelay]

I decided to give New Vegas another run. Damn, I'd almost forgotten how good it is, especially the writing. It really highlights how bland Fallout 3 is, and just how little thought went into it.

In an ideal world, Bethesda would stick to Elder Scrolls and leave Fallout to Obsidian.

[ironbite]

Yeah too bad New Vegas is just so fucking empty.

Ironbite-but that's always been the issue with Fallout.

[Art Vandelay]

Bethesda rushed its development to an absolutely ludicrous degree (as in, they gave Obsidian only a year to get it done), so naturally there's cut content out the ass. It's also why the main story jumps almost straight to the Battle of Hoover Dam right after you kill Benny. It's a huge shame, don't get me wrong, but also nothing short of amazing that it turned out as good as it did, all things considered.

Wanna know what the best part about having mods on the special edition of Skyrim is?  The mod that merges cities back into the world.  Instead of feeling like Whiterun is in some pocket dimension, it's actually part of Skyrim itself!  So simple, yet so fucking magical.

This ...Thing... is a game controller that you use with your vagina.

I mean, it is advertised as tool for new mothers to retrain their pelvic muscles after giving birth, but in the end it is a game controller. A true "joystick" if you will.

Finnish geeks had several fun comments about this but my favourite was someone saying that "pros use this to play Call of Duty" followed by "judging by the amount of butthurt I believe you are correct."
