Minecraft with Friends! Part 39: Adventure!

Time to visit the mainland!

Borderlands 2 Part 51: Bloodwing! NOOOOOOOO!

And here's the part of the game that cements what a total damn bastard Handsome Jack is.

Flailthroughs Unboxing: Daisuki Teddy (Lovely Teddy) for GBA!

Isstvan82 begins an all-new video Flail: Lovely Teddy (Daisuki Teddy) for Game Boy Advance!

Why did we choose this game? Well, 1) because it came with a tiny teddy bear, 2) because it's a teddy bear-based RPG, and 3) because we found a question/answer page asking if there was an English translation of any kind, and the only answer was: "lol". Sounds like a Flailthroughs kind of game!

Borderlands 2 Part 50: Never Be Friendly With A Horse

The quest to save Bloodwing continues!

Minecraft with Friends! Part 38: We Needed Wood

TreeAssist GET! Also, bigotry against cobblestone blocks who choose to identify as cats. DON'T JUDGE HERBERT

SimCity Societies Part 10: KILL EVERYONE! BWAHAHAH!

Every simulation comes down to this eventually, doesn't it?

Black Matrix Zero Epilogue: Other Paths and Dead Ends

Well, I answered no to the first question, and Luca wandered off. And now Mephisto has given Cain birdy wings instead of batty wings. But that's all. Two or three more fights in and nothing else much has changed. So what I'm going to do next for the hell of it is take a brief look at the translated ROM and see what the hell was actually going on.


Except the translated ROM only translated menus, and not all of those. Well then.

So here we are at the end of Black Matrix Zero. For one thing it's nice that it didn't take us six months. But really, it's not a bad little game. There's some interesting ideas here in the combat system, and I would love to actually know what the hell was going on and why we were talking about incest all the Goddamn time.

Overall, it's only a moderately difficult flail. If you like Tactics-type games, you could certainly do worse on the GBA (Sadly, one of the worse games is Tactics Ogre, but that's what you get for not having Matsuno on board.) Give it a shot!

Tomorrow: Isstvan82 starts a new GBA game with a special video, and it's one of our oddest titles yet!

Minecraft With Friends! Part 37: Sure, Have Fun While I WORK For A Living!

We need to work on division of labor here- the guy with the camera's stuck doing all the boring important work while we go foraging!

SimCity Societies Part 9: Need More Jobs, I Think

That's always the tricky part, isn't it?

Borderlands 2 Part 49: Wildlife Exploitation Preserve

Oh man, the end of this section.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation (PS3) MS-06J Zaku II Support Type Gameplay

The Zaku II-J is a decent MS. I need to get it at a higher level to do serious damage with it. But the % of a GM Striker I get at the end of the video? That's so tantalizing...
