What I Took Away After Helping My GF Play Tomb Raider (and Redbox Scams)


Posted on 03/22/2013 at 10:54 PM | Filed Under Blogs

The Redbox "scam" I ran into today was just that one of their kiosks wasn't working. Luckily, there was one right up the street. lol

It's funny you mention playing with your girlfriend, cause the voice actress for Lara said her boyfriend played and sucked at the game on an interview she did on Conan. lol I guess we do take for granted that other people might not be as familiar with gaming tropes like lock-on targeting and QTEs.

WayForward is just awesome

Don't know much about Wayforward, but after that DuckTales trailer, wouldn't mind a Mega Man from them.

Never actually played this as a kid, though I did like the show and theme song, but looks awesome. Can't say no to a good cel-shaded platformer with Capcom music, and what I've played of it online is cool, so nice they rebooted it.

That's cool you saw them in concert; my dad was a huge Dylan fan, so they (my parents) went to a concert of his, and I was upset they hadn't taken me with, then they reminded me I'd have been two at the time. lol

SF games kicked my ass as well.

Agreed about the 60s vibe these songs all have; of course, I only know that time perios through media, not personal experience, but the music sounds amazing from that decade.

Thumb blisters were when we were told to go outside or do chores. lol Big Lebowski is great, and Children of Bodom even did a metal cover of that song.

Fellow 1UP refugees, Read Parish's Luigi Review.

I like that he doesn't have a score, becuause I find them unnecessary and feel they take peoples' attention away from why a game has a certain score, but I still like my metacritic/RT type sites, so there. lol Nah, it was a good review, and I'm glad Luigi's Mansion got an update that's apparently pretty good. I wonder how they worked out with IGN what he can post on 1up and there.

Like I said to coolseltzer, this was really all I played (and maybe we rented Super SF II at some point), so I don't have much of the other iterations to compare it to. lol You and abobo seem to really love New Challengers, if I ever get an SNES of my own, maybe I'll get that one.

Gamer's block? Yeah, kinda feeling it.

I've also not been playing many games, though I did restart where I left off Order of Eclessia. It's a silly, fun hobby, just get back into it when you feel like it, have and are willing to spend the cash, I say, especially if you're more productive without it. I'm glad someone else is in the same boat as I am. lol That Duck Tales news is pretty cool, though.

Psychedelic, while usually used to refer to drug-induced expansions of the mind, was derived from Greek words that mean "mind-manifesting," so while you're right, it's not necessarily about drugs (though I'd argue much of what he describes COULD be translated as a trip, what with him getting visions planted in his brain; yeah probably not, but I've gotta use my confirmation bias here Tongue Out), I've always found it puts me in a rather "mind altering" mood when I hear it, and some of its most famous uses are in The Graduate and to a much lesser extent, Watchmen, both of which are very "60s" movies, and I associate that decade with psychedelic rock, so somewhere along the line I came to see it as a psychedelic, as well as a folk rock song. It certainly makes me feel like I'm on drugs when I hear it sometimes. lol

But hey, your "nitpicking" (not really, I see what you mean about lack of drug references) got me to listen to something I haven't heard before, so it's all good here in Mr. Rodgers' neighborhood. Cool
