The Free Gaming Thread v3: Check Out Cosmyk's Mustache

[Psychospacecow]

Got fébas fast as you can!

Feebas is #349. I don't think we have all of the original 150 yet. Or is that a region-only type? Like Tauros is to North America.

...and Greymon.

Isn't that a Digimon?

It is a Digimon. I think mine is defective though. It keeps saying "Charmander".
and you are correct. Feebas is not currently in Pokemon GO.

I'm really starting to hate this Overwatch Sombra ARG thing. The countdown from last night made the amomentincrime.com website update, and its got another countdown on it.... This one is a plaintext that is changed to increase by 1% every 30? minutes or so.

---

Some twitter accounts have been "hacked". Hard to say if its official but the timing is convenient.

---

Someone posted a fake main site on the forums and Reddit. If its not this link

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/

it isn't the official website.

---

Some of the "hacked" twitters are echoing the fake website message. Could be real then.

" ...Yo lo vi también." "...A sangre fría." "...Nadie decía nada." "Gibraltar"

---

Its been on 3% for a while. Probably not consistently changing then.

---

Watchpoint Gibraltar has been locked out in PTR outside custom games.

[Psychospacecow]

It hit 4% at amomentincrime.com

Wasted day.

Does anyone remember the really obscure game Cubivore for the Game Cube? I just found out it sells for about $150 used on eBay right now. Mine has been opened and played, but it's completely intact will zero blemishes.

I'm a massive collector, so owning something so rare is very appealing to me, but I doubt I'll play it again. It would be nice to have that extra cash, and let someone who really wants to play it have it, but I think I'd regret selling in the end.

My copy of Rule of Rose is worth more too since I kept the pre-order soundtrack that came with it.

Link to the past is the most frustrating game i've ever played. Good god I thought majora's mask had convoluted dungeons, this is just nuts.

I played through LTTP when I was around 8 or 9. I got as far as the second to last dungeon before I stopped playing.

In that time I obtained all the items, 16 hearts and leveled up my sword and shield to the maximum they could be.

If an 8 year old me could do it, so can you.

The only reason I didn't finish it was because of this guy, making me believe I had done something wrong, and thus never had enough magic to light the lanterns in the second to last dungeon.

[Arjahn]

Yeah I'm in the second to last dungeon now, loving the time limit puzzles in a game that's all about exploration. Oh and the fireballs shooting you from off screen are great too.

I really love the world and exploration as a whole, it's just these dark world dungeons feel super cheap and tedious. Plus, when you do manage to defeat the asshole bosses, there's next to no feeling of actual accomplishment. In Ocarina and pretty much every other Zelda game I've ever played, you get to see something happen after clearing a dungeon. Like the Zora home thawing or refilling Lake Hylia or talking to the baby deku tree, you get these tangible moments of healing the world that make you feel great as a player. Here you just rescue another fuckin girl with a different colored hat and awful exposition and that's it. Less reward for going through more shit.

A Link to the Past is a good game IMO, but the dark world stages are just really a pain in the butt. I never gave it any though until now, but it's a lot more fun when you know what you're doing. Everytime I played this game as a kid, I could never find the last key in the first dungeon. So every time I played, I would grab the hammer, get the key near by, and kill myself to get past the door and use the key on the last door. Years later, I looked up the key location on the internet and it's in a place that no kid would think of looking. A Link Between Worlds is better with this, but the Lorule stages still suck (I'm looking at you, Turtle Rock).

That's fair enough. I did enjoy that I could do any dungeon in any order, meaning I did the 3rd dungeon 6th, and I killed the moth boss in 2 hits which was funny to me.

I never liked that the dark world was the main part of the game. It looked horrible and everything about it was just not nice. Just like how Ocarina had it's 7 years later world (but I didn't mind that much, you switched back constantly) the light world just felt like it became useless after you went to the dark world, hard to explain how but I really wished it didn't just become forgotten, or that it had 6 dungeons rather than just 4, and leaving the remaining 8 in the dark world.

Felt like some Magic the Gathering so I beat the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2015 this weekend. Was really boring and blandly designed overall, I guess it was recommended for new players but since all the cards you get are random, your decks will always be pretty sucky. There was one really well designed match where you had to face a guy using your exact same deck, but outside of that it was nothing to ride home about.

Some of the theme park stuff in Fallout 4 Nuka World is nausea inducing.

Got an email saying F4F is going to charge me September 8th for the Arwing I pre-ordered. Ugh...

I hate them so much, and their prices are insane, but I can't help myself... Eggman actually turned out pretty well except for the weak magnets making me nervous, but he's held together just fine.

[Kakariko Kid]

Build-A-Bear Workshop has introduced and Eevee plush.

[Hexadecimal*]

Oh... Oh no... The one time F4F isn't having delays... Now I got an email about the Okami statue as well.

I swear that collector gods exist and they love me. I'm getting all this OT because I'm going to end up owing F4F about $700 all at once.

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

After watching me for a bit, my love wanted to play some GTA:V.
So far, she's taken a twenty-minute bike-ride to find a hair salon and clothes store, and is now playing tennis.

The game that caters to all -- Good stuff.
