I'm currently playing Spelunky 2.0 on PC and we have been doing local co-op mostly using 360 controllers and the wireless dongle. It is pretty good fun but it does result in arguments and fallout when we repeatedly just grief each other with whips. The furthest we have managed to get together is the third area but we have yet to trigger an appearance of the Tunnel man. I'm not sure if that occurs in single player only?
 
Either way it is completely worth the upgrade. I would have paid the same amount for Spelunky 1.
 
We have also been playing F1 2012 which also supports local multiplayer on PC. My girlfriend is probably the most aggressive videogame driver in the history of time. I sort of don't want her to get a car again IRL. The standard game goes:
 
RACE START
ALL CARS REACH FIRST CORNER
FUCK EVERYONE CARBON FIBER EVERYWHERE
~has to restart race out of politeness, dare not mansplain the meaning of subtlety
 
I threw my first ever gaming-related hissyfit the other day when I did a race which took 45 minutes then span out on the second to last corner. It was truly tragic.

so here i thought i'd be able to just waltz in and tell everybody how great of a game papers, please is and blow awestruck bystanders away with my knowledge of well-circulated videogames. BUT MY DREAMS ARE AGAIN CRUSHED BENEATH THE IRON FIST OF BUREAUCRACY
 
seriously though it's a great fucking game. so hopeless and depressing. jorji gets my vote for best new videogame character of 2013.

i'm playing nocturne. it's good, but there are some things which aren't so good about it. it feels a little flat, not as potent as it could be, and a few problems which are just typical of games in general. maybe make a video talking about it when i complete it. i think i'm about halfway through.

hmm nocturne started boring me very suddenly. maybe i just need to take a break for a while. i'm at kabukicho.

Killer is Dead
 
My LP of the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqLZwhqHOpY
 
It's ok so far but it dose have a bit of a perverted dating game involving see though glasses.

Sorry for the bump but just in case you want to see this mini game / "perverted dating game involving see though glasses."  The video just went active 8 mins ago.  http://youtu.be/JbjzmH5M8cE?t=22m36s

i downloaded the chips challenge level editor on a whim and got immediately, compulsively locked into playing the demo levels. I think there was some kind of hypnotic effect from the clunky tile-based movement as well as the strange level structure (a semi-uniform grid of equisized rooms each with a microchip inside and split up by tanks and blocs).
 
also been playing some nes roms where you fly around:
- air fortress (cool game where you play a rocketship section to get to the air fortresses and then a jetpack metroid section where you climb inside to destroy them. music is good)
- joust
- balloon fight (similar to joust)
- hello kitty world (minigame is exactly the same as the one in balloon fight????? pretty soothing)
- sky kid (my new favourite videogame. namco sidescrolling biplane flight thing... press one button to shoot and another to loopdeloop... you have to hol UP+RIGHT as you take off to avoid crashing into the trees and there's a pleasantly heavy sense of maneuvering the plane. there are girls in some of the levels and they blow kisses if you loopdeloop in front of them and turn into laughing dogs if you shoot them. a+)

There are only a handful of those games I've ever really enjoyed. Earthbound,

 
nonononono
 
although I agree about chrono cross. I thought it said trigger at first and thought you were totally insane then
 
seriously though I can't get how some people can hate earthbound. I think you must be doing it too left brain/following the story too much because when I did play through that game sometimes I would even just stop during the battles and listen to the music/cheap SNES version of milkdrop/just take in AESTHETICS like at the same level as first time you played mario 64 and were running around aimlessly jumping yahoo yippie and just absorbing the 3d space for the first time. Except I got this feeling from just a MENU
 
haha you're entitled to your opinion but I still think you must've taken the game in in some fundamentally wrong way
 
although I will admit the MOLE CAVES were a little tiring/too much forcing gameplay on you for a game like that
 
 
Edit: I'm surprised nobody ever made an earthbound visualization pack for milkdrop. Or maybe they did. Milkdrop really doesn't work that way, it's more video feedback like but I could see some of the BGs being replicated well

I'll be streaming Killer is Dead around 6 or 7 pm EST today 8/31/2013 http://www.twitch.tv/ddaygold come join to harasses me
 
What's that? you suck at time zone converting well fear no more. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=DDay%27s+live+stream&iso=20130831T18&p1=251

I don't know anything about suda51 or his games. I never understood the appeal at face value, which I gathered is kinda the point.
 
I watched your first Remember Me video, DDay. I knew the title because I was in a store and the lady's butt on the cover caught my eye. at the time I had figured she was an NPC of interest to the stubbled white male main character!! the game looks ok despite the super boring post-apocalyptic setting.

I'm playing Saint's Row IV, maybe 1-2 missions from the end. haven't heard what the buzz on this game is. it's ok, probably the best thing it does is make it clear how much SR3 did right. this installment feels a lot more like a video game - it has some parts that are good or funny, but nothing that really solidifies it as an experience. the bioware-romance parody is pretty great. music is a downgrade, tho it does include Bonde do Role which was on my list of music that's gotta be on the next SR.
 
sorry for the useless review!! if you were a big fan of SR3, this game is fine. the only apparent influence of Deep Silver taking over are the somewhat obvious cost-cutting measures that don't ruin the experience, but definitely keep it from entering that realm of IT-games. I also assume, since Deep Silver took over marketing and publishing, that bullshit like "the 'merica gun" pre-order bonus is their doing as well. thq+volition came up with Professor Genki and the Tim and Eric promos, deep silver+volition came up with a rehash of a dumb dated internet meme.
 
also, apparently glitching is really fashionable right now! SR4 takes it further than others I've seen, but it also was present in Tomb Raider, apparently that Remember Me, doublefine prototypes

It's an ok game (Remember Me) it best to play it in small doses. If you play the game to begin to end in one sitting you will bore yourself but it's not a bad game nor a good one it's one of those games that dose nothing good or bad making it a mediocre experience.

As for Suda51 I think the appeal comes from how out of the norm there games are and I haven't found a game where Suda51 was involved that had bad gameplay. Only downside of suda51 there games are kind of short and I will say Killer is Dead is not worth 60-50 dollars price tag do to this fact. I know a lot of work went into making the game but the price isn't justified. Also another off putting thing about this game was the fanservice AKA gigolo mission (also know as Mondo Girls) sure it was good for a few Laughs but at the end of the day it adds nothing to the game and the only reason to do them in the first place is to get sub weapons. But there is one more positive thing I have to say about the game that goes against some reviews I read and that is this game dose have a lot of replayability about 25 missions Without the DLC 12 of them being story and with the DLC when you by the game as new and use the code it boost that number to 29 adding 1 story 3 sides missions. (Also more random facts 3 Mondo girl mission without DLC and 4 With DLC. Also one of Mondo girls mission is a challenge arena with real combat and not your stander Mondo gril mission but still perverted in nature at the end of the day but at least that one adds to the game ) and secrets scattered about and a ranking system that goes from C,B,A and AAA on every mission coupled with 5 difficulties. So I guess you can see why I disagree about that.

Been playing Star Trek Online recently. Been flying the ship from the summer event, that thing's fast.
