I played the demo for Bravely Second and wasn't overly impressed, but I hear the demo doesn't adequately show off the game. I'd like to play it sometime. . . and get some pancakes. Yum!
I admit to being a podcast junkie. I drive for a living, so I need some radio. Plus, I've always loved radio. My friend Sean and I used to make our own radio shows on road trips via microphones and a boombox. I still have all the recordings too. I've also listened to a lot of old time radio broadcasts and comedy shows. I love the audio medium. I'm most into Idle Thumbs at the moment. Those are some smart, funny guys.
I'd like to do a podcast. My friend Mark and I should do one, but he's got a bit of a speach impediment that makes it difficult. I've been thinking of this new "broadcast" button coming to the XBO U.I. 'cause I'd like to do some streaming. They're using Beam to do it. Might be a thing.
I want to hear about that Yoshi port.
I need to play through all the Batman games. I nearly got them all for current systems last month but ran out of time to play them. I'm sure I'll get another chance with my weird game choosing system.
I have all the Sly games on PS2. Maybe I should trade them now that there's a collection out there. I may do that. Sly 3 has 3D glasses with it though. I wonder if the collection uses that.
I've heard a lot about Yakuza 0 lately. Maybe I'll rent it when I get back into rentals very soon.
They're always trying to cram in every type of entertainment possible into these system to please everybody. It's weird, but on 360, I used to get a tad annoyed everytime a person on my friend's list popped up saying they were watching Netflix. Mainly, I guess, because it happened so often. I wanted to hear about those people's gaming, not what TV show or movie they're watching. I needed some setting that filtered out everything but games.
Character journals. Interesting idea. I'm going to think about that.
If it wasn't for Mark, who I've known since I was ten, I'd be mostly a solo gamer too.
Passing the controller is co-op to me. You mentioning Myst reminded me of when my friend Sean and I played that game together. We'd just figure out the puzzles together. I forget who moved through the environment. That wasn't the point of it though. It was thinking together on a problem. Thanks for reminding me of that. It's a fond memory.
I totally remember moving from couch co-op games in the 90s, to lan and network co-op games on Xbox and PC in the early 2000s, to full online co-op from around the beginning of Xbox 360.
I just downloaded Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime on Xbox Live Games with Gold. That supports four player couch co-op, but I don't have anyone to play that kind of co-op game at the moment. I'll play it solo.
I see a lot of amiibo I'd like to have right now. I'm holding back though until I get my budget under control.
I played a hella lot of Disney Infinity games last year. Now I've got the XBO versions of 2 and 3.0 and am going to play them again. I love the figures. I have a pretty good collection of them now. I may do some blogs on them this month. I just got a special case on a GS clearance sale to display my favortie figure, Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey.
