The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[JayDizzle]

The end of every Spelunky run I've had to date:



-Arrow traps
-Bats
-Spiders
-Green Snakes
-Spitting Cobras
-Shelob
-Indiana Jones' Boulder
-Spikes
-Long Falls
-Telefragging into solid rock
-Frozen Solid
-Shot
-Boomerang'd
-Eaten by Piranha
-Skeleton Clawing
-Goomba Stomping
-Beaten
-Thrown off a cliff

...

The list is endless and yet still I play for that taste of The City of Gold.

One day...

Anyone up for some CS GO?

Anyone up for some CS GO?

I play pretty regularly, but I won't be able to play until later tonight.

A word of caution though: don't expect to do too well if you haven't played CS before. I got my ass handed to me so bad when I started playing this last summer, and I still get my ass kicked by the guys who have been playing CS games for years.

Pre ordered Stick of Truth at GameStop for dem bonuses. Also switched my pre order for Watch Dogs from the ps3 version to ps4.

Change of fortune from earlier today:

I made it to 4-1 in the Spelunky Daily Challenge (2/24/2014) for today.

Placed 6th so far on PS3 with $140,775.

May have gotten more but I fucked myself after gunning down an Anubis.

Tried to jump over the purple spheres he throws at you but it caught my foot and killed me dead.

Still... a positive's a positive in a game that strives to make you cry.

Ive never played a MMO in my life. I downloaded the FFXIV beta. Im currently making a SeaWolves character since he's green im trying to make him look like Blanca from street fighter.

I paid $3 to get an Operation Phoenix pass in CS:GO which lets you play popular community maps on official servers and have the opportunity to get exclusive weapon cases as random drops. Then I sold one of those cases for $4.33. Thanks Valve.

Im guess im more used to the voice acting in games like Fallout, Borderlands, etc so the text based dialogue will take some getting used to.

Have you made it to the Black Market yet? That's really when the game gets easier, especially if you can procure a jetpack. Just murder all of the shop keepers, walk away with the Ankh, and you're on your way to the City of Gold.

How about the gameplay/mechanics. I only played for about an hour and a half and it was all tutorials. Then I forgot about the game completely

[Herm]

It felt a little clunky to me. If its not something a group of guys here will be playing together I probably wont try it again.

My cousin and I played Shoot Many Robots last night. Damn is that game fun. It's like a side scrolling Borderlands. The look/aesthetics are the same, there is loot to collect, tons of weapons and character upgrades, leveling up...and it has FOUR PLAYER CO-OP.
