Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 452: 8/31/26: Blood of Dawnwalker/Onimusha: Way of the Sword Edition



Anyone backing Double Fine's Amnesia Fortnight Kickstarter campaign?


Not me, but I'm glad to see they're almost at the goal. I backed something of theirs on Fig back in the day. Broken Age?

That or Massive Chalice, maybe?

They made their goal - thinking of backing it to 1) support them ...

I think I'm approaching the end of the story in Expedition 33, but you never know with these games.

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 451: 8/22/26: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 Edition


Uhhhh ..that game's story takes a hard left right into sucker punch territory right at the end. The reason Majima was in Hawaii and lost his memory isn't as goofy as I thought initially. Well, how he loses his memory is still goofy as hell. Also, the kid character Noah is pretty great and ...

Just started Act 2 in Expedition 33, so I'm doing pretty well with levels from 26-30. It really helps to do well on the dodge and parry mechanics, but I feel like you've always got ...

Re: The Backlog Check-In Vol. 449: 8/10/26: Duskfade Edition


Oh and Pirate Yakuza is fine. Too easy both in naval combat and normal combat since they gave very early access to all of Majima's boss abilities. So everything is just a breeze. But I like the breezy nature, the game is ridiculous and dumb. The opening once you get the ship... YouTube it if you ...

I beat Headlanders last night. It's a fun game, no doubt. Good solid B+. Just not as many chuckles and wow moments as Double Fine's best stuff.
Yep, agreed. Heard Double Fine has to lay off some people in order to keep going, unfortunate situation.



Sad but true. Maybe he finally realized ...

Happy Birthday, argyle!

And yeah, I also had fun with Headlander - it's a Double Fine game for sure.
