@OrigamiRobot Naw. Smash, I could play just with my brother in off-times but in reality it's more fun when we've got our whole gang together. Monster Hunter, I could play on my own time, so it's more relevant to have my own copy even if my friends have it (and, as it were, especially if my friends have it)
That reminds me. I pirated some Wii game (which I bought a real copy of) just so I could run it on my PC with Dolphin without having to figure out how to rip the disc myself
Certainly, money is a matter to it, of course, but it rather just is, buying a new console for a single game when I've got as many consoles as I do with far more games already paid for, yes it pays for itself in a sense but still, not going to grab a new console for just one game. Or 1.2, for that matter.
It's the same reason I don't partake in all of these super-cheap Humble Bundles and Indie Bundles and whatnot wherein I could've gotten about a thousand games by now for the amount I've spent on basically the last three games I've bought.
Also it was only 6 medals, simultaneously at any rate. I did get one on the way but that was just on the way so I wouldn't count it with the bundle since that was just the second coin medal. They were "Clear Story in Easy", "Clear Story in Normal", "Beat Fran in Normal Story", "Get High Score in Story", "Clear Story in Normal without Bombs", and "Beat Fran in Normal Story without Bombs".
Note that I've seen this bug on the Steam News page before... and back then there was the same one week long hole in things missing from the News page.
It's called a bomb as sort of a nod to the fact that it serves the same purpose as "bomb" attacks in a lot of arcade games, in which you hit things while being invincible. Also known as the panic button.
@GnomeSlice It's a bit confusing because if I'm not mistaken, the literature in the game alternates between calling it a Bomb, an Unstoppable Special Attack, and maybe even one other term, even within the same paragraph.
Also, the site's description for what they call "Rigid body state" has been the most meandering explanation for this kind of mechanic that I've ever read. Yeesh.
@BenBrocka I haven't tried it yet but it piqued my interest back in January when Gnome asked me if I knew anything about it.
> Sometimes a blue effect will occur when attacking an enemy, even when there has been no collision of attacks. This is due to the enemy’s ‘rigid body’ state. When this happens, the enemy is taking damage, but they are not presenting an opening for attack. The number of times a monster can enter a rigid body state depends on the type of monster and it can be deactivated for a set amount of time.
I've got a tank that has just reached 100% crew experience level and, all excited, I set some skills to advance.
My Commander had a skill "Signal Boosting" and I received 500 experience points for a match; all my experience is being sent into "accelerate crew training" and it says that I only ne...
I find it very difficult to remember what each technique or skill does just by looking at its name, so I've been playing with a PDF version of the game's manual always open on my tablet. The thing is, not every technique and skill is explained in the manual either, like Gryz's "Crash" skill.
Can...
It's completely accurate for what it's describing, but it's equivalently explaining the oh hey World of Tanks question state of an enemy being hit while it doesn't flinch from attacks, when a more direct approach would be explaining about the ability of certain enemies to not flinch from attacks.
@GnomeSlice Thank you much for the list. I did not think about downloadables (which I guess was dumb of me) and so I should note that XBLA and Indie stuff isn't usually region locked and so I do generally get English stuffs proper.
I've noticed that some of the female characters have two widely different costumes available. Do any of these different costumes have an impact on character breast-physics? The most obvious example would be Hilde who wears a suit of armor in her default costume, but not in her secondary costume...
I just spent upwards of 20 minutes trying to place a flower on Leixia's shoulder in a custom costume. The problem I ran into (and never really got around), is that Leixia's breast jiggle during her fighting stance doesn't appear to affect only her breasts: the character mesh of her neck and shou...
@GnomeSlice This is very true of myself. Due to time constraints, I often play games 2 or 3 years after they are released. Therefore, being able to answer questions in the prime rep gaining time period is not possible. Most of my rep came from the gaming grants, where I was able to post in that window.
@JasonBerkan It varies a lot. A good portion of what I write like that, posted here or otherwise, not enough folk play those games. Which is why I'm surprised at how much Desktop Dungeons has gotten me.
There are two vehicles which cannot be unlocked just by playing the game:
Core Drone "Intimidator"
Knight Cycle
However, if you do some jiggering with the game files, you can enable them both for use in the game, and have them show up in the list of vehicles.
If you'd like to do this...
That's definitely one of my better ones.
I even hosted the files people need if they don't feel like doing it themselves.
Plus I made custom thumbnails and shit unlike the other people who host the files so the bike actually gets an image in the game.
Pokemon on the other hand, I just hadn't remembered that I posted that much on the subject, but apparently people really liked what I wrote about Rare Candies and levelling.

Attaching to the 'collarbone' instead of 'chest' does appear to fix this. I guess you just need to be careful to anchor accessories to body parts that don't 'move' as much as others. Thanks! — GnomeSliceMar 22 '12 at 15:04
See, it's legit!
I'm actually surprised it doesn't have more views.
@GnomeSlice I don't know, I read "spent 20 minutes trying to do ___ but the breast jiggle is causing problems" more like "spent 1 minute having problems with ___ then noticed the breast jiggle..."
First off, no matter the corpse, never eat unless you just made that corpse or you have a method of preservation (tinning, icebox). Rotten corpses cause food poisoning (unless you're a fungus or a ghoul), and it doesn't take very long for a corpse to rot. And there isn't a visual indication of ro...
It is very fun in a way, though it's very, very, very, very momentum-based gameplay. It's one of those "You will either win by a landslide or die a horrible horrible death" kind of games.
I played FreeSpace 2: Colossus quite a while ago, and I remember one mission in particular. The mission involves (not surprisingly) some dogfighting. However, partway through the mission, an enormous enemy vessel shows up, and you're ordered to retreat as fast as you can.
However, if you stay ...
Phantasy Star IV does not include any in-game help about techniques or skills, so I've resorted to keeping a PDF version of the manual always open on my tablet while playing. Thing is, Gryz's "Crash" skill is not explained in the manual.
Does anyone know what this skill does?
Thanks.
@OrigamiRobot The vehicles do. Troops mostly come with extra armour bits. The Lootas fluff is that they steal guns from the battlefield and duct tape them together to make more powerful guns.
While every 3D game includes polygons, some games use polygonal art design.The overall shape of the characters and environments is often simplified with strong geometry.
Most colorful platform games of the 90's had a polygonal art / low poly approach mostly due to technical aspects.

If you need a particular weapon, like a Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle etc, you can swap your current weapon with a marine to take his. So marines can be a good way to get weapons in certain situations.
Additionally, a marine will carry any weapon you give him until he is killed, or you s...
The most important thing to remember is that as long as the Big Daddy is mobile with a line of sight on you, you are in mortal danger.
The trick to bringing down a Big Daddy is to use whatever means possible to immobilize him. There are various tools you can use to impede his movement, or attac...
That one would have been better if I had mentioned armor piercing
but then it would have basically just been 'everything'
