    Not 100% sold on the trailer, but am 100% sold on Amplitude and ENDLESS Dungeon - put it in my veins!

    Oooooh, physical version! There is something I very much want and very much don't need! It doesn't say if it includes a Steam code, though... (The digital version order page gives you a choice of Steam and EGS, which is nice.)

    EDIT: Denuvo!? Blech.

    coming may 3rd

    here's a bunch of gameplay with dev commentary

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7pKeH1cLb4

    I don't know a damn thing about these games, I for real thought it was the same thing as Age of Mythology for years

    I really liked Age of WOnders because you got to pick your rulers race and class so i got to see what every necromancer looked like

    Also swank was how in the first game if you had a flying unit with a ranged attack (magic bolts, arrows or breath) they could cheese so many battles. If you had Block ranged units and towers couldn't really do shit, so you just had to worry about spiders and spells. I had so many games with lvl 50 Draconian heroes.

    No, like, explicitly the biological augmentations used in the SPARTAN II program (i.e. Master Chief's class) chemically castrate them and destroy their sex drives.

    Chemical castration is generally reversible

    If it was not a reversible form in original Halo media, sure, that is a change, but I would not have assumed that from the phrasing

    Oh, yeah, sorry. What they do in the book/game canon are irreversible, permanent changes to the bodies of the kids becoming SPARTAN IIs. The books present this as, at worst, a net neutral.

    - returned to the dojo, and fought Lone Shadow Vilehand
    - - had a much easier time than with Masanaga, partly because it's very nearly the same fight.
    - - kinda wish I could re-fight Longswordsman now. I feel he's a different flavor of Lone Shadow; I know he doesn't have the poison moveset, but I'm curious how similar they are.
    - - didn't see a way to handle the other enemy in the room without alerting Vilehand. I considered using the puppeteer power so he'd help me out, but decided against it.
    - Owl apparently didn't die during the bandit? raid on Hirata Estate, and he's also after the Dragon Heritage.
    - - "I want to stay and admire the view"
    - - - *yeah, right. You know Wolf's here*
    - - pretty sure it's a "but thou must" moment, but I sided with Kuro. So now I'm fighting Owl, and he's quite good at murdering me. I'm slowly learning the fight, though.

    this is also a pertinent point to note that more than half of the prospective SPARTAN IIs were either killed or permanently disabled by receiving said biological augmentations

    again, presented as at worst a net neutral until later books decided to actually interrogate this.

    The first book also made sure to mention how they decided to make these kids have superhuman bodies because the people who made the Spartan powered armor couldn't test it themselves without it putting a little bit of a kink into their backs.

    By rotating their entire top half completely opposite the bottom half.

    Maybe you are mistaking it with Dungeon of the Endless, other game from those devs about endless dungeons?

    Orchiectomy = surgery to remove testicles.

    Testicles = balls = nuts.

    Bofaectomy, therefore, sets you up for "BOFA DEEZ NUTS" used in the one case you are, in fact, referring to BOFA DEEZ NUTS being removed.

    The comic, correctly assuming this punchline is obvious, instead shows the main character at the moment of triumph and exhilaration just before she gets to deliver the perfect joke.

    Yeah that's probably what I'm thinking of. I love ya Amplitude, but maybe some diversification in the names here.

    I tried Dungeon of the Endless when it came out. In the very first level I did everything, then positioned myself and opened the door to the next level and got bodied. And I looked at everything and thought "I have no idea how I failed it what if anything I could have done to prevent it." And then I uninstalled.
