Topic | My store's top 50 selling games of 2019 |
Kerred 12/21/19 9:48:18 AM #6 | With Disgaea they are probably long gone. All anime or game related collectible sets are printed once or twice then done for. They should be dirt cheap online though. Unless you are Magic or Pokemon or Fantasy Flight Games, you need some big social media power to keep your collectible game going. Real big. |

Kerred 12/15/19 11:12:24 AM #1 | Apparently Legendary Solo wasn't frustrating enough. So who wants to power through LASO achievements and probably datapad achievements. My steam id is kerred. |

Kerred 11/30/19 10:14:50 AM #9 | Tired-Insomniac posted... RainBlowDash462 posted...Hook up your PC to it for the best use I would assume you can still plug your laptop in with an HDMI cable. Some of the perks are how you don't have to switch back to cable tv assuming most shows you could "stream" from your laptop. And you could rip your blu rays as one-click files to watch. Steam allows you to configure an xbox, ps, or switch controller to use the analog stick as a mouse as well. You can even adjust your laptop's volume with these controllers if you are feeling extra lazy. |
Topic | Bubble Bobble 4 Friends - my first impressions. |
Kerred 11/19/19 3:08:09 PM #4 | Very big Bubble Bobble fan as a kid. How is the completion factor for the game? Like a screen showing everything you finished, potential difficulty in 100%ing everything, etc.? I feel like the series has a lot of potential. Possible counter-co-op with one player a weak or slower enemy. Rogue-like possibilities, different challenges to accomplish instead of just clearing enemies, etc. |

Kerred 11/18/19 9:54:58 AM #11 | No problem, I always wondered why all youtube videos reviewed the Steam Controller at their desk PC. I never once saw anyone review a Steam Controller on a living room couch with a giant TV. Even Valve tried to advertise it as that when you see their commercials but couldn't get the point across :( |

Kerred 11/17/19 5:49:55 PM #5 | lilORANG posted... Dude uses that same joker voice for so many characters. It's weird I can tell a Hamill role by the scratchy voice. His voice has gotten much more grizzled over time, which I guess is a reason why he stopped going the Joker. On a side note, I recommend the abridged audiobook of World War Z. Hamill reads the part of Todd Wanio, a grizzled veteran during the war. Great listen hearing him act out a tired man who's had enough of all this zombie crap and the people who made it worse. |

Topic | Fun tidbits about Mark Hamill and the Joker and other roles. |
Kerred 11/17/19 5:42:49 PM #1 | "Mark Hamill is the only guy who will show up in line to see himself" Tim Curry was originally the Joker in Batman TAS. The hunt for a new Joker wasn't because Curry was bad, it just didn't fit the style. Unfortunately this was before digital recording so we can only assume Fox destroyed the audio. Mark Hamill planned to audition for Boyle (in arguably one if the biggest game changers in comic and kids animation history in the 90's, Heart of Ice), and never intended to get the part of the Joker. He gave a wild performance with the iconic laugh, thinking on the drive home "that's the best joker they'll ever hear, too bad they won't hire me". Upon getting the call of getting the part of the Joker, Mark's reaction went quickly to total dread, as now he was responsible for what he felt was one of the most iconic parts in all of Batman, and felt like he could never do its character justice. In Mark's first appearance on the Simpsons, he casually dropped that he could do other voices too, making the Simpsons staff think "oh no, what's he going to make us do". However they realized Mark was very open and friendly to suggestions. As a result he plays the body guard in the very same Simpsons episode he first guest starred in. If you watched any show on Cartoon network or Nickelodeon in the 2000's, you probably heard his voice in over the 50 different shows he guest acted on (including The Boondocks). Sources: Talkin Toons podcast episode 39, Simpsons audio commentary for "mayored to the mob" |

Kerred 11/17/19 10:40:46 AM #9 | Shadowplay posted... So how are they compared to 360/Xbone controllers? FPS games compared to Xbox controller: FAR Superior, no more claw grip thanks to grip buttons on Steam controller and literally any binding possible for any game despite a game's crappy options. FPS games compared to KB and mouse: FAR inferior Driving games: same Platform games: I prefer an Xbox controller with a 4 way dpad (no steam controller or 8-way xbox pad) Simulations: Steam controller by far. Planet Coaster, Sid Meier's Civ, etc. So if you are at a desk, don't get a steam controller. If you can't use a keyboard or mouse for some reason, or want to be cuddled under blankets with snacks and family, definitely Steam controller over xbox :D |

I hate having the stuff on the bottom part of the controller like that. I have only been using my PS controller for NES/SNES games and Sonic Mania. Every other game I own I keep going back to the Steam Controller for some reason. |

Out of the 50+ controllers I owned in my life, I would put them on an A tier. They sold at least 1,000,000 controllers but I don't see Valve investing more into them and REALLY wish a competitor would try to top them. |

Topic | Should i get Pokemon sword / shield for my 7 year old? |
Kerred 11/05/19 12:43:58 PM #26 | DoomSwell posted... Lets Go is the better option from a child development standpoint. I don't mean "7 year olds are dumb", I've just always had the opinion kids should learn to respect the classics like NES/SNES games before they get jaded from playing modern games. Interesting how a year or two ago I recall seeing comments to skip over Let's Go games. :) I heard FireRed/LeafGreen have great fan mods and are easy to use with a controller. |

Kerred 11/05/19 11:13:37 AM #14 | Guide posted... For cost and content, you'll get a lot farther with the Let's Go games. On the other hand, the kids in that age group are probably gonna have Sword and Shield, if Pokemon is still big with little kids. From what I've seen by running Pokemon Trading Card events and volunteering at schools Pokemon is huge with first graders. I wager all of them are probably asking for sword and shield |

Thanks in advance! |

Kerred 08/18/19 2:13:06 PM #17 | EIiza posted... I remember that. Nothing wrong with it either. If it were a female character people would complain its not short enough. I find it interesting Nintendo made Square change "its red, just like the color of our blood" to "its red, just like the color of rupees" in FF2, as well as changing everything "holy" to "white" weapons and items. But instruction books seem to be an exception, as the screenshot with the blood text and holy were still in the US rulebook. So Nintendo probably was fine with a pale cheeky Link in their instructions :) |

It leads me to believe Nintendo's Quality Assurance couldn't be bothered to beat such a difficult game, or they just did a parser search for any religious or potentially violent words like "blood" :) |

Topic | Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons? |
Kerred 08/18/19 10:57:56 AM #23 | I run kids groups and used to help my store with D&D events. If you are looking for D&D stuff near you, you can either google maps search "dungeons and dragons", "magic the gathering" or "board games" and you'll find locations near you. Checking your local libraries will also lead to events. The biggest turn away for many people though is fear of the environment. Fortunately many D&D groups are welcome of newcomers in public places. Normally you can tell very quickly how friendly the group will be, mainly if they invite you in to play :) |

Kerred 07/30/19 10:26:43 AM #1 | How the creators broke the traditional anime methods, going way overbudget, making a bad short term investment in exchange for a supreme long term investment, especially in the US, with Akira being a gateway for anime in the US without the aid of the Internet. I am not sure how its regarded today, but in the mid 90's this was the flagship "citizen kane" anime at the time. |

Noire, which is another good mystery, but its more like reading a novel or watching LA Confidential as you eventually are lead to solutions despite your actions, and you feel like the game is holding your hand to guide you. LA Noire didn't scratch that itch for deduction or those EUREKA I'M A GENIUS moments. Its the same kind of feeling you get when you beat the hardest boss in Dark Souls. Just that pure release of endorphins knowing you are the greatest. |
