No regrets

https://www.humblebundle.com/books

want to call attention to this bundle.  To Be or Not To Be is absolutely great, and everyone should own it.

Quote

To Be or Not To Be is the choose-your-own-path version of Hamlet, written by Ryan North (Marvel Comics, Adventure Time, Dinosaur Comics), William Shakespeare (Macbeth, Cymbeline, Hamlet too I guess), and you (all sorts of stuff!)

You can play as Hamlet, Ophelia, or Hamlet's Dad, but if you choose him you die on the first page and have to play as a ghost investigating your own murder.  It features over 100 different endings, each illustrated by one of the greatest artists working today, including Kate Beaton (Hark! A Vagrant), Andrew Hussie (MS Paint Adventures), and Noelle Stevenson (Nimona).
If you want to stick to Shakespeare's original plot, helpful Yorick skulls mark the choices Shakespeare took.  But why would you want to do that?  Especially when, instead of a play-within-a-play, there's a choose-your-own-path book within a choose-your-own-path book.

To be or not to be: that is the adventure.

Anyway for folks going to DLCon I'll be bringing a hard copy we can read and it will be Fun Times.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah I am all over this. Ryan North/Andrew Hussie/Kate Beaton collaboration? aw yiss

Going through the other books included in the bundle, I've read samples of Ava's Demon and Mother Russia, and both impressed me quite a bit.

Some of the best stuff in there is just following the true path and reading Hamlet as editorialized by Ryan North.
Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

I played it a little a couple months back when Fenrir gifted it to me on Steam. Hamlet played a lot of solitaire. If I keep this up people might say my fatal character flaw is indecisiveness.

At first I downloaded the game as just a time killer, but as I've gotten deeper into I've developed a connection with my various waifus (TsundereWife is my favorite, but don't tell the others.) I plan to spend the rest of my days collecting thousands of millions of billions of waifus so that I'll be able to spread my love all around.

Okay, yes, Timebux is evil. This has solidified my view on the matter.

And dear god, it gets worse. There's recommended apps! Check out "Kingdom of Procreation" "Conquer the world by having children! Strategic Upbringing Simulation."

They won Mortal Kombat.  Barely.  Over a British guy.  I think you have to be like 60 years old just to purchase Mortal Kombat in Britain.

America won Smash 4, the only game that matters.

uhhh...Zero is from Chile.  Currently living in California for training purposes, but I don't think he would call himself an American.

The art direction is such a step down from VP


Re: Castlevania EROTIC VIOLENCE
we get Silent Hill Crazy Eyeballs And Meat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=91&v=QC7do_mC_mU

You might wonder what's their long term plan if they're just making pachinko machines reminiscent of games they made 20 years ago, but Konami's now pretty much soulless and dead:

Castlevania / Metal Gear Solid / Suikoden / Silent Hill are over, RIP

It sucks to see one of the best game publishers of the past 30 years reduced to this, especially since yeah it is likely the nail in Suikoden's coffin.

But yeah, fuck 'em.


VP-with-serial-numbers-filed-off looks interesting for sure, though agreed with Fenrir that the art direction is a step down. Not a fan of those character models at all.

Erwin Schrödinger will kill you like a cat in a box.
Maybe.

Agreed. Oddly ugly little game.

The chibikid designs are very un-Cid. Tri-Ace needs to just make VP: Hrist already so I can die fulfilled.

And I thought Suikoden was already dead anyway?

Perhaps I should have said the final nail in Suikoden's coffin. But I am a foolish optimist and hold out hope.

The article says development on the series has stopped so they're not even going to release a Suikoden patchinko machine with a 108 combo multiplier.


Anyway: Omega Labybrinth for the PS Vita. It was just announced.

Here is the logo:



Here are the details on the website: "Embark on a chest-expanding adventure. A new roguelike RPG of wondrous chest sizes begins.”


Now if they could just make the same game except with dicks
