Ever heard of a game called Let’s Tap? If you have, it’s probably been in the context of how ridiculous it is. Basically, you control the game by tapping on a surface. That’s it. The game comes with a cardboard box in Japan, but what about here in the States? Let’s check out this Let’s Tap unboxing, courtesy of Giant Bomb, instead of any 3GS unboxings that might be happening today. ...
Forgot to post this yesterday, but the ER continues to fight through Void Quest.
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.
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?
The Persona 4 Endurance Run continues! After an embarrassing defeat yesterday due to a lucky Hama strike on Charlie Tunoku (protip: carry a homunculus), the Persona 4 Endurance Run continues from the exact same place it left off yesterday. Part 82:
With E3 finally over, the Giant Bomb guys have returned to Inaba to keep the Persona 4 Endurance Run alive! I get lots of hits from people looking for the ER and Vinny Caravella (but none for Gerstmann…sorry Jeff!), so here you go. Enjoy!
Insert another credit, because it’s time for your weekly video game news and you’ve just hit the Game Overview screen. When I was a kid I became saddled with the unfortunate notion that Japan did pretty much everything better than the United States. I don’t think I would have gone so far as to call myself a Japanophile, but it was definitely close. Their video games were all sweet (FF VI and Chrono Trigger!) and their cartoons sure beat the heck out of the asinine stuff I was sometimes watching on the Disney Afternoon. This may have had something to do with the fact that I was watching Bubblegum Crisis and Ranma at a time when the best cartoon I could watch was Timon and Pumbaa, but it would be foolish to think that the allure of the unknown didn’t factor into it too. ...
Deep from the trenches, it’s time for your Monday video feature: Embedded Reporter. Now, I know this is going to sound both bizarre and boring in concept, but hear me out on this, cause it’s actually pretty awesome. Here’s what I’m proposing to you: Watch two other people play an ~65-80 hour game on a daily basis at about 20-50 mins long. Sound awful? Well you haven’t heard the icing on the cake: they’re going to Mystery Science Theater 3000 the whole thing! ...
