Lurking in front of Nook's store so I get first dibs on that one piece of candy he's selling today for the Halloween event. Also setting up my house for the Flea Market. I'll probably get a lot more Bells from my neighbours than from that damned raccoon.

I've only played it for a little bit a few years ago, that's what it seemed like after a day or two. I bought that PS3 game called PAIN for my 5 year old cousin.... $10 for a game with only 2 levels and like 10 characters. The total package of the game comes out to being over $100+ in dlc... which is what the whole game is... dlc. Of course he only got to play it for 5 minutes because my mom came in and saw him sling-shooting cartoon characters into buildings and billboards. How the hell is that worse than what's in Tom and Jerry... or even the adventures he has with legos. Motherfucker pulled a 9/11 with a tow-truck on my biggest tower. We were playing DBZ Raging Blast 2 right before this, I guess that's ok though? PAIN: 1/10 Levels are way too small, and it gets old fast. It's all DLC.

It's more about managing the town as a whole, as in you pretty much get to add to it in the form of collectible fossils and animals for the museum as well as planting around town and maintaining said plants to prevent them from dying. It's just a fun little time waster, there is no ultimate objective you have to reach.

At the moment I only carry a pistol and a laser pistol around as fallbacks, but once I figure out the best approaches as far as skill development is concerned I want to start over and go full cold-turkey on it, excepting the mandatory targets that can't be hit without guns (The Many and the fight with Korenchkin, just off the top of my head). I'm just about to enter Hydroponics right now, and... fuck turrets. Just fuck them to hell. The hybrids with shotguns I can handle if I corner camp or close the distance really fast. The cameras I can just run past or turn off via hacking if I'm in no position to smash them. Even the protocol droids and big-ass maintainence bots I can just ignore with a bit of fancy footwork. But these fucking turrets just so happen to be placed everywhere I need to be going, and the majority of them - or all of them, concerning these earliest parts of the game - fire shit that just can't be dodged around. If I'm lucky I might sometimes have enough time to close the distance and circle strafe because their tracking speed at point blank is crap, but that still doesn't account for 1) the situations where they happen to be placed at the end of long, bottle-necked corridors, which is at least fifty fucking percent of the time, 2) the situations where there happens to be more than one of them, which they generally will be if it's somewhere crucial to progress, and 3) the fact that they explode when they're destroyed. I just found my first laser rapier and I'm not far off from affording a robot-immobilizing PSI move, both I'm sure will be invaluable later on, but what I really need is to figure out is a melee approach to turrets that's viable right from the start, besides dying a lot. On the plus side, I managed to kill two maintainence bots by dropping an elevator on top of them in Engineering, which I found was a pretty neat surprise.

	--- Quote: Blacklightning Nov 14 2011, 02:48 AM I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem

BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	So as it turns out, it's more than possible to complete System Shock 2 without firing a single shot or PSI power. I should know because I did just that right now, and ended up killing SHODAN with a laser rapier. Y'know, just in case you needed more evidence that I'm a baws. I'm kinda tempted to try the same thing with Deus Ex now, but that'd depend on whether I can find a backup copy lying around because I don't think I have the disc anymore.

BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	From my experience it gets a lot easier once you have throwing knives. No, not for throwing directly at them - they actually make fantastic distractions. Throw one at the ground behind someone and it'll almost always keep them occupied long enough not to notice you running up behind them for a 1-hit takedown with the riot prod or dragon's tooth. Beyond that I imagine it'll require me to get creative with augments and props, but hey, that's half the fun. If it's anything like how SS2 played out though, the plus side is that I'll have a lot of level-ups free to go in other skills that would otherwise have gone into gun skills. By the time I got maximum speed, strength and endurance, plus dual implants with strength and speed, it barely mattered anymore that I couldn't hit from a distance - I could be right in their line of sight in a long corridor, close the distance and 1HKO them before they even realized I was there. Once I injected a speed hypo on top of that, though, it was truly a fuckin' sight to behold - I could actually take falling damage by running into the walls. That's how fucking fast it was. Oh yeah, and that turret problem I mentioned earlier? Turned out after my second try that I could hack into them directly and make them shoot enemies instead of me. Fuck me, did anyone actually know you could do that? I'd just planned to disable security globally and slip past or smash them while they were defenseless.

I know there's a Goomba one so far. Really all iyou do is learn how to draw and paint shit. There's a Free Paint mode, at the very least. I've only done the first introductory lesson so far (and painted a crappy cherry as a result) so I have no idea what the full package is yet.

Part man...part beast...full psycho! Posts: 17,366 Group: All Powerful Deity Member #1 Joined: December 30, 2005	So it basically has preset lessons to teach you how to draw? How accurate is it? Does it like, really work you for it or is it pretty lax? Is it done in like, a fun way? (If you can't tell, I want an excuse to buy this aside from it being a Nintendo product. XD)

Honestly, I have no idea if it's an easy sell on its own. I mainly ended up getting it because I was excited at the idea of learning to draw a Goomba, even though I haven't gotten the notification yet D: Also because I suck at art and I really want to be "about average" rather than "why the fuck do you have fifty thousand sketchbooks?"
