So... here's a thought for Mike's wish... are there any Blight Club suitable coop games?

I like how only minutes in Tamoor has understood the aiming mechanics better than any of the others. If only he'd remembered to check out Chain Shot and the other skills.

Yeah, this is one of the tougher fights in the game, and considering they've blown through a lot of their ammo, turned the American soldiers hostile, and have a poor understanding of the game mechanic...

@bisonhero: The game plays terribly if you try to play it as a standard third person shooter, but becomes much more fun if you actually engage with the systems and charge up critical shots. Sadly Rori...

Michael Thornton respects women!Not if you keep picking suave options he doesn't.

Interesting so far, though I am a bit worried about how they're falling into the trap of relying on CQC because they don't quite understand how the shooting mechanics work. This works at first, but th...

Sadly I wasn't able to watch it live, but it's been a fun ride. If I were to give a tip, it would be not to rest so close to the room entryway. You'd want to have a lot of space between you and an any...

A++ run. This is going great. I feel that Ben has really learnt a lot about thinking carefully about his next move so that he does not give the enemies multiple free hits.

Hmm, the site seems to have eaten my original post, so let's try this again..."Non-modal" means that everything in the game happens in a single, consistent gameplay mode, like in Rogue or Spelunky.An ...

"Non-modal" means the game only has a single gameplay "mode" where everything happens, like in Rogue.A classic modal RPG would be Final Fantasy, where exploration and combat happens in separate "mode...

I wonder when Ben will learn that sometimes you just have to bail on a level and run for the stairs. SPOILER

Heh, certain classic roguelikes like NetHack and the original DOS port of Angband would make "bones" files of your defeated characters and have them come back to haunt you as ghosts in subsequent play...

I expect the series is already done recording, but I just have to keep harping on using diagonal movement (on the numpad). That's how you get around corner without giving them a free hit.

Well Ben... At least you were trying some new things out and hopefully learning a bit this time...

Angband is an expansion of Moria, which was one of the original games inspired by Rogue in the 80s. It's now open source and available on modern platforms. It's default form is still ASCII, but it doe...

Holy shit this dialog... I thought Bioware was supposed to be top tier. Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but I don't remember LucasArts' Star Wars games from the 90s being this ham handed.

You might need to allow Ben to do an extra run in an episode if he dies than 20-30 minutes in, because these games can be cruel and arbitrary at times - especially to a novice.That said he was being l...

I guess you're playing the "original" commercial release by Epyx, but the actual original release was a hobby project for university BSD mainframes "around 1980".Anyway, as someone who played its desc...
