Perhaps not, but Valhalla looks pretty damned good, and most importantly, loads like lightning!

Finally the silicon shortage is over for me!!!

Thanks for the in-depth response re: Rogue-ish (and apologies for the long delay). I think from all that my biggest takeaway is that I really didn't play Dead Cells enough. I have simply not had enough game time in the last 6 months or so for many life reasons but (see other thread) that will hopefu...

Fantastic!! Have there really been VII before this? Was the Redmond house one mark I?

Wow that's ridiculously impressive. Did they do it completely on C64 hardware or use some sort of emulation/cheats?

It's like isometric Dead Cells. ... Since it's run-based, it is the perfect play a few runs in bed before going to sleep sort of game. If you even remotely enjoy things like Dead Cells and Sundered, this one is right up there with the best (if not the best in some ways). So let's talk about "run ba...

Yep I'm sure I will. I'm still really looking forward to replaying BotW but I want to wait another year or two so I forget more of it -- so this will tide me over. I don't anticipate this happening anytime too soon.

Never played Skyward Sword so pretty excited for that one. And yes Mario Golf yes.

Gave it a whirl and I liked it but didn't completely love it. Maybe I need to give it a few more whirls.

Oooh Outbuddies looks awesome. Seems like everyone is super into Hades. But it didn't appeal to me right away just looking at it. Am I really missing out?

Oooh yeah will do. Does it have a map/upgrade type elements or just straight action?

Fellas, curious for those of you with little ones perhaps a bit older than my little guy, what age did they start exploring video games? How did you introduce them and what did they enjoy? Any particular difficulties?

Perhaps we can get a little discussion going here.

I played Dead Cells for a bit and actually really liked the style and gameplay but I think the start over from the beginning aspect (what is that Roguelike? Rogue -lite?) is too annoying. I don't mind the "make it different" when you die aspect like in Sundered but the penalty for dying is just too ...

Downloaded the Mario 3d All Stars and played Mario 64 for a good hour or two. Pretty damned fun still. I will probably keep at it.

MAME is all up and running and config'd up! Super fun and so slick. LaunchBox creates playlists for each of the big systems like CPS-2, CPS-3, etc. as well as things like Shoot Em Ups and Sports Games. Slick! I also created my own Selects playlist as well as a Give it a Whirl list for things that lo...

Benchmarks So like I did before, I've got all the raw data benchmarks in the same linked google document but there is now an HTPC Benchs tab at the bottom. I'll summarize some interesting findings here though. First off, as far as the old AMD A4-7300 3.8GHz (Richland 32nm) Mini-ITX HTPC as compared...

I bought a NUC! http://enderzero.net/postimages/nuc_01_250.jpg Basically I've been meaning to build a new HTPC or do something about my old HTPC which has been running too loudly to watch much on recently. I already use a 4k Fire stick for any standard media streaming. However I occasionally need to...

T'would seem it's more of a package of emulated games than anything remake like.

Oh yeah, gotta get me into that. Classic Redmond house Dreamcast title.

Been playing this silly little overhead grinder. It's quite fun.

Just started Celeste on teh Switch. It’s great. Very quick and super platformy. I like.

I never played Braid but they just announced a remaster for early next year so may have to tackle that then.

Anyone planning to play Paper Mario?

We talked about Mario, but let's expand it out. Nominations for if you could snap your fingers and have a favorite game get the current-era graphics remake, 100% authentic to gameplay of the past. Clearly it won't happen (because he's blue) but I would kill for an authentic remake of Azurik http://e...

Finished Messenger. Great game. Did it all, all the seals, etc. I thought the game was over after the big boss (still the hardest part of the game) before you get the map, etc. But so much more after that. Really interesting dynamic.

\/\/0\/\/0\/\/ Matt! That Groove2 has a real Badmotorfinger feel. Looking forward to hearing more.
