Going to continue to vote for Mortal Shell just so one of you makes the mistake of actually trying it out

Fun fact, the GBC version of Alone in the Dark a new Nightmare is one of the games on Nintendo Online's subscription service. Not sure who decided that would have been a game to gun for but there it is.

It was a bit surreal watching your streams and seeing how many times people kept trying to throw you into the portable games mess. I honestly don't think there are any portable horror game releases left aside from the ones you played. I guess it did not play well with the portable market. The only other one I could think of are the PSP release of the Obscure 2 game, which I would wholeheartedly suggest against playing.

I dunno how Alone in the Dark managed to eke its way onto the Nintendo Switch Online thing, but if more people can witness how weird of a thing that game is I'm all for it.

I would argue Resident Evil Revelations probably counts under the portable category, even if I'd inevitably play the PC port on stream. But also at this point in my life, should I move forward with more horror game streams, fuck if I want to play Revelations 1 or 2 again. They're both entirely middling.

Should the tower ever return, we still have the likes of Overblood, Deep Fear, Clock Tower 3, and Galarians to tackle, not to mention a veritable trove(?) of more modern indie horror games. Oh, and of course, Daymare 1994 when that comes out. Can't forget that. Oh, and the rest of the Corpse Party series. I don't think we'd need to revisit the portable category, I'll say that much.

I rushed to get here as soon as I saw Countdown Vampires. Holy shit, what a perfect assembly of garbage you got for us today!

You pretty much nailed it. I can't believe anyone still remembers Countdown Vampires, but I'm even more shocked that a team sat down and made the entire nonsensical thing in the first place. It's an art piece, in the same way that one guy who put a urinal in a museum is art.

Also nailed it on Corpse Party. It's pretty much 'Every Shithead With An Anime Avatar You've Met Online'. And while I, personally, respect its proto-trash status, I can totally understand why no one else would want to touch it. I don't think I've seen more than a good hour of it, before having my fill.

What a feast this was, good stuff!

I think I said it multiple times, but Countdown Vampires really is the closest a video game has ever gotten to "So bad its good" territory for me. I've loved some bad games in my time, but rarely does it feel like the developer reaches genuine "I have no idea what I'm doing" levels of execution.

I probably should've mentioned Corpse Party's contributions to edgelord trash anime in more detail, because it truly is just the worst. Just a bunch of 15-year-old boys sitting in a semi-circle trying to tell a ghost story but eventually it just degrades into one-upsmanship over who can be the grossest. The more interesting thing for me was going back and looking at how it was received by folks back in 2011, with a lot of people taking it at face value and going "wow what an interesting story." I just assume weebs had lower standards back then. Or the people I'm thinking of were the target demographic.

It's a bummer, but understandable, I guess. There's always still the Sunday show, which is absolutely worth watching.

AP is great, but I'll admit that I started skipping it when the GB staff wasn't there.

okay but consider this:

@borgmaster: "Could the graphics team change the model slightly so that his hand is gripping something? We want to stick an N64 controller in there." "No dice." "Well... I guess the poster artist will think of something."

@arbitrarywater: Look. Any other sport and I'd make an effort. Like baseball. Hitting things with sticks? I'm into it.

I don't like knowing there's another dozen of these things out there in the catalog list. Waiting.

(Good thing the randomizer has already given me yet another grimdark edgelord fighter for next time.)

I wish there was less chaff between missions, because I think the tactics part of this game is incredibly slick. Like, the writing has grown on me over time and I think their takes on some of the marvel characters are fun, *but* I just wanna agonize over who Ghost Rider should knock into a hell pit

Hello fellow teens I too enjoy the cannabis products would you like to speak into this microphone about where you acquired such things

(I see no reason to litigate this when I'm never going to know the whole story re: Jeff getting fired. He's doing alright doing his new thing and that's fine by me. )
