Its not very long if you has friend that has Switch that will let you play it. But one of my favorite marios of all time.
Yeah I'm trying to resist the impulse buy. But having it for travel would be pretty cool. Will probably wait for more games to come out. Mario and Zelda are the only ones I'm interested in, and I've already played a ton of Zelda on the wiiu.
One of the biggest surprises of the switch is that it is just plain fucking cool playing full-fat console games on the go, enough so that you strongly consider rebuying a bunch of indy darlings and older ports.
With rare exception, if the game is on both the switch and the xbox, I will buy the switch version so that I can play it on the train ride into work, and on the road.
AssCreed's visuals are a huge part of the draw so I am less likely to want that game on the switch, but pretty much everything else I can live with something that looks as good as a top-tier xbox 360 game / bottom rung xbox one game.
I kinda want a switch but the knowledge that I wouldn't really get use out of its portability is a big factor in me holding off
Zelda-chan ...

Wow. This spotify Halloween playlist is playing Gnarls Barkley's "The Boogie Monster." I wonder if it'll be unedited, given the ending of the song.
I really want to get back into Assassin's Creed. But I burned through the Ezio trilogy fairly quickly (in a year or two?) and then Assassin's Creed 3 came out and I got it on the Wii U and just.. couldn't finish it. So I have no clue what happened with Desmond and the end of the world, and I really kinda sorta don't want to move on without closure...
I love the AC games and I am reliably informed that many of the ones after 3 were terrific but 3 was the climax of the story and they botched it so thoroughly that the sour taste continues to stay with me several years later. The story is weirdly aimless, the main character is kind of inert, and they get the date of the Declaration of Independence wrong. And it's frustrating because the ingredients were all in place to wrap the story up in a really satisfying fashion.
It's a game that really, really deserves a director's cut or a remake.

What was the deal with the AC game where it's all a video game and you're like a bug tester or something in the beginning?

I think that was Black Flag, the fourth game
the company was part of the evil conspiracy from the other games. they decided to use their memory mining technology to make vidja, which, I guess, why not

Yeah. I loved the story, and even Revelation's twist on things. I really, REALLY loved playing as Desmond and doing shit like climbing an under-construction One World Trade Center (though they never explicitly called it that).

The intro to the American revolution one where they recorded that whole bit of the opera was really cool though
A strong sales pitch for video games in general when you unearth a discarded piece of real history and let players walk around inside a recording of it that you funded
I have a family relative who is reasonably bright but is just absolutely convinced that major sports are doctored in some fashion to drive up viewership
like, not in the sense that the rules are changed to attract viewers we all know that but like
he claims the exciting 13-12 world series game from last night was obviously orchestrated by the MLB there's no way those pitchers and closers would pitch so poorly etc etc
it's very head scratching that this is the conspiracy he's latched onto and not like, chem trails or w/e
To his defense on that the two teams have both said the ball feels strange and slicker and there is talk on ESPN that the balls may be juiced as a way to make the games higher scoring and more exciting.
It's not really a conspiracy though. It affects everyone so whatever. It's definitely true though. They wanted more offense
Yeah and there has been a huge change in the number of runs and quality of pitching as a result. The weird thing is that the MLB is acting like nothing has changed and all the pitchers are just crazy and being mum about any changes to the balls. It is also especially odd since you consider the whole reason they don't want aluminum bats is to preserver tradition when that would likely be a better route to enhancing the offense of a game.
I mean
baseball players are one hell of a superstitious lot
I could totally see a bunch of players placebo effecting themselves into thinking the balls are different because all the other players are saying they're different

AC: Syndicate was pretty fun but I took a break and now I find it damn near impossible to get back into.

I mean, as long as both sides are using the same baseball, I'm down.
Although MLB is super peculiar about their baseballs. They literally have 1 vendor for dirt they rub on the ball before it enters play. I dunno maybe players are just hitting the balls harder, or there is a new type of performance enhancing drug in use.
Nah, there's plenty of data about the balls changing in a way that would produce this result. They almost certainly did it on purpose to juice scoring.
The environment now isn't really conducive to the "60% of the league found a new undetectable PED and no one leaked it" hypothesis.
I just remembered the part of GTA 5 where you walk around the startup tech company offices and they pound the jokes into the ground about how dumb it is
Hm
The more that time goes on the more I feel like Rockstar doesn't earn any of the big obvious cultural targets it jokes about

Yes, AC1 is a pretty bad game.
I still maintain that AssBro is the best one (AC2 is way too long, IMO), but I haven't played any since AC3.
I'm getting very excited about the new tyranid codex
Some of the stuff has leaked and it just makes me want to make an army just out of carnifexes

Wait, do you already play Tyranids? Because... they're literally an army of bug monsters. The only way they could be more perfect for you is if they were literally called Archanids.

I've never jelled with the AC controls. I own several and every time it's just like..the controls don't feel right.
I really can't expound beyond that. For a game so terrain traversy they just don't seem..fluid and magnetic/grippy enough?
See that prolly makes no sense.

The carnifex HQ old one eye is from hive fleet behemoth, whose special rules let's you reroll charges
Carnifex can also pay for an upgrade that makes people shooting at then suffer -1 to hit
Also there are three separate carnifex now, four if you count the forgeworld one, and their tail rule got upgraded to be better against blobs of dudes
