After some fusing in Monday’s episode, the gang enters Void Quest to make some progress on apprehending the copycat killer. They are then soundly murdered by bambinos, canceling out the fusions. Vinny tries to tackle the floor again…resulting in his death, yet again. They finally give up after two attempts. In episode 87, will they try to face those bambinos yet again? Will they succeed?
Forgot to post this yesterday, but the ER continues to fight through Void Quest.
It’s down to me to man the EBW Fort today, so today I think I’m gonna get in some quick words about Pixar’s latest movie, Up. There be spoilers here, so turn back if you don’t want to read them, mateys. After seeing it on opening weekend, Eric said the following to me “Worst Pixar movie yet,” but the critics were saying something else entirely, so the stage was set. I’d have to go and find out for myself. I knew very little about the premise, just what I’d gathered from a few quick snippets on the movie screen, namely that the protagonist was some old dude and that he left in a flying house with some little boy scout kid. Sounded like a pretty thin plot. ...
Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. I really enjoyed the Trauma Center games that I used to play on the Wii and it looks like Atlus is localizing yet another, but this time we have the twist that the player will control more than just a single (or pair of) doctors, now he will be responsible for much more of the medical activity as he saves lives. ...
I’m not a fan of the horror genre. Not even a little bit. The only “survival horror” game I’ve ever played was Eternal Darkness and, despite how awesome that game is, it scared the bejesus out of me in some places. Yet here we are again with another horror game tempting me with it’s interesting aesthetic. The Silent Hill series has always been the more “intellectual” survival horror game compared to Resident Evil, in that it relied more on psychological scares in places and was designed to reflect that. The enemies and locations were generated from repressed psychological instincts rather than just using standard horror tropes. Combat was never any good because the point of the game was that the protagonist was a regular Joe, not someone accustomed to fighting freakish monsters. ...
On my second attempt to win an Uncharted 2 Beta key, I finally succeeded! I will let you guys know what it’s like once I get a chance to start playing, but I’m super pumped. Thanks 1UP.com!
Last time Vinny finally made Black Frost and seemed a little underwhelmed with the “palette swap.” It was a fairly short episode that mostly had fusing in it. Today they explore deeper into the Void Quest dungeon. As someone who has conquered the dungeon twice, I know that they’re about to hit the hard, strange stuff today.
Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. Death Death in a single-player game is a fairly private thing. You do something stupid and, if your friends aren’t there, no one knows it happened and no one can even see it. Heck, if you’re playing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, the Prince will even refuse to canonically admit that he died due to their unique narrative structure. ...
The last Endrance Run TODAY (two in one day!) took a turn for the weird with some furry comments, but the gang is firmly dedicated to their “Black Frost side quest.” Mentions of the Gun Show “BOOM!”, how Long Island is weird, David Bowie the Pixie, anti-marijuana jokes, eating candy, twizzler shivs, 80s movies, and FOX in the dungeon?
In yesterday’s Endurance Run, Vinny and Jeff did a fair amount of fusing to prepare for unleashing Black Frost upon the demons of the Midnight Channel, only to find that they were two levels too low to manage the fusion. While it is a mostly fusion-centric episode, the gang does also venture into the Void Quest to make some progress. Will they level up enough to fuse Black Frost?
