Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Recently started playing AoE again, and I cannot say enough how much I have missed playing RTS.

Zone of the Enders sounds up your alley then. I actually have one of the most viewed gameplay/movie videos of it on Youtube...so far. That can change in a year or so when the bigger channels have more time.

Yeah, Age of Empires. You're a well-cultured individual I see...

Honestly, the audio taunts and remarks made through the game were just legendary.

I like the old black and white horror movies. Nothing current, though. It's like Hollywood decided the best way to scare audiences was just to throw buckets of blood at the screen. Story and suspense seem to be an afterthought.

Sadly, you're right about this. :(

Who needs atmosphere and setup when we've got BLOOD and SHADOWS and SOME MORE BLOOD?

I went Crazy the other Day at a Warehouse asking everybody if they have seen a Very Important Piece of Paper with Very Important Information on it....it was in my hand the whole time.

Yes, he was. He was an amazing actor and a true gentleman.

There were more masters of horror in the past. I suspect it had something to do with having a solid grounding in black and white film. In my humble opinion, Hitchcock has never been matched by any of the directors of today.

I actually prefer a lot of the older horror films now that I think about it. I guess they were concerned more with the ambiance and feeling than the gore. I think that may also be why Silent Hill 2 is my favorite horror game, the atmosphere is absolutely chilling, and the psychological nature of the game just messes with you in general.

There's a certain charm to older horror movies that isn't often captured in more modern horror movies. I'm indifferent to blood and gore - I don't mind it being present, though I want it to serve a purpose and be atmospheric rather than purely mean spirited. The best horror chase scenes are, in my opinion, the ones where the victims at least try to fight back and get a hit or two in.

Some horror movies that really stick out to me that I've watched lately would include Eden Lake, The Descent, Dog Soldiers and Hereditary.

Speaking of movies. In my discord group I'll be streaming Best of the Best. Feel free to drop on by. If you do and you aren't crying at the end of the movie...check your pulse. You might be dead.

Bleeeeegghhhhhhhhhhhh

I do hate how much I'm being pulled at all sides right now. I have 5 different people wanting to play things with me on the daily, and so I keep getting dragged between numerous games. I swear I may need to go offline for a day just for some time to myself, this is kind of overwhelming.

Ryu too popular for his own good.

And all of them are friends I've met through other games...save for one, but he's the real life friend who lives 7 miles down the road that I've known since Sophmore year of high school (19 years ago).

This sounds exhausting D: how do you do it?
I need to retreat and be by myself way too often to keep friendships that want me there daily.

As for the accidental yoghurt, you are all missing out so don’t dismiss it too fast because it tasted like unseasoned, uncomfortably soft pre-tofu :3.

If the apocalypse comes I know you’ll want to bunker up with me and my experimental foods.

One works on weekends, another is shy and doesn't like playing stuff without the rl friend there online, another's times are random, and the last one is USAF.

What are these "friend" things of which you speak?

Hey milk is best when chewed right?

It is! I like milk most when it's chewable. Brie, Swiss, Blue, etc...

Renalt the Bro

I have to say, the friendly banter happening in this thread is really wholesome :3

This was never the happiest place ever, gaming forums never are, but the last week or so it got pretty bad in my opinion and even reading isn't that entertaining anymore.

And to be honest, if I had read the forum before installing the test version back then, I'm not sure I would have ever tried the game! I'm used to OFs having a negative vibe (ESO says hello...), but this one is a bit of a dumpster fire.
Maybe the mods use it as a social experiment?

Anyway, was thinking about older games today that I'm really fond of and would deserve some kind of remake/remaster/re-release to get more attention than they got back then.
1. Terranigma on the Super Nintendo, sadly is not available anywhere outside of shady ROM sites. I'm glad I still have my physical copy! Iirc that one wasn't released outside Japan/Europe?
2. Legend of Dragoon on PS1, loved that one and still have my copy. Sadly it didn't sell well so the sequel was axed, but seems to be seen as a cult classic today and is quite rare.
3. Lost Odyssey on Xbox360, not that old but great game with an interesting story and has Final Fantasy vibes all over it for obvious reasons.

Do you also have old games you're nostalgic about?

I really blame the moderators for the current state of the forums. They used to be far stricter and I have friends who were permabanned just for using a four lettered word in a post.

Now, we have habitual trolls using multiple accounts to sock puppet. The moderators need to start throwing permanent bans out like candy. Until then, the forums will continue to be a dumpster fire.

Spy vs Spy, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox, and The Secret of Mana are the games I'm most nostalgic about. I also miss arcade games like Tempest.

Bought and have been playing Dokapon Kingdom Connect with friends. It's Board game meets JRPG. Really fun game, but it has the same friendship destroying power as Mario Party.

There are companies out there that will make a physical copy of that translated version of a game if you want. You can pick the cartridge color and everything.

Such examples being Seiken Densetsu 3 or Sweet Home.
