PLaying some really old school games for Atari and DOS. Wasteland (the unoofical precursor to Fallout series)

I've been replaying Bonesaw. I never actually finished it when it first came out, and now I remember why. It is very hard!!! In a good way, but also a bad way. Jump sustain is probably the worst offense; it only registers within the first millisecond of hitting the jump key, so it's basically impossible to reliably pull off a short hop, and short hopping is kind of necessary for clearing the secret stages. Also, the ball-bouncing sections have really bizarre physics, and sometimes you'll have to dribble them backwards through half of the goddamn stage to get a Golden Puck, which is frustrating, if not infuriating.

You're supposed to clear the game normally and then go back to 100% it afterwards, and of course I was like "fuck that i rule at videogames" but you really can't do that. It's not like Kirby's Dream Land 3 where anybody with basic motor skills can pick up every heart-star on their first runthrough, Bonesaw is RUTHLESS and will absolutely shit on you until you get some practice with the mechanics.

That said, it's honestly probably one of my favorite indie games ever, despite how rough it is. It has a ton of stages and a really nice faux-NES aesthetic. Also the soundtrack is hella chufty:

one more thing, since i couldn't find this through several hours of searching while trying to get it to work on Windows 7; if the launcher closes when you press the Play button, run the game in Windows 98 compatibility mode. hopefully this helps some poor shmuck somewhere angrily typing "BONESAW WINDOWS 7 WHY WONT IT WORK" into google.

All you guys with LittleBigPlanet 2 listen up: I finally finished my level. I think I put 40-50 hours into it. The concept is to launch two "waves" of energy at targets, and when the waves intersect, press a trigger button (L1, R1, L2 or R2) to destroy it. Targets get progressively harder to hit as they start moving around, and towards the end they have a timer on them that explodes and depletes your ammo if you don't hit them quick enough.

Hey do you have a youtube video of gameplay? I don't own the game but I would like to see what you made if it took you a while


Currently playing Enslaved. game gets kinda annoying having to protect trip all the time

Yeah sure. I needed to make a video of it anyway so I can promote it better. I'm sick of making LBP levels and having like 10 people play them ever.









Crappy YouTube video.

picked up oblivion again. still don't like it. not to say the game is devoid of any fun, but the storytelling of the game is really awful, and the game is really designed such that the storytelling should have been the game's backbone. i'm reminded of why i really had such low expectations for fallout 3.

although i will give the dark brotherhood quest a chance before abandoning the game. a lot of people have said it's a cut above the rest of the soulless drivel in the game.
