Conrad's still in Russia, so I'm covering his shift tonight and on Wensday. Y0j1mb0 has you covered for Tuesday though, so you get a brief break from me ;) Hope that you enjoy tonight's recap and pigism and that I don't create a time pardox, like last time
You have to play Pyschonauts.
Honestly, this is one of the best game's I have ever played. It's so full of personality and awesome gameplay, it's simply magnificent. I'd like to thank everyone who recommend that I play it, you were all right, it's so good ^_^
I'm not to far into it, I only just beat the theater level, but I can already highly recommended this game. It's the pinacle of 3-D platforming with interesting level up powers, interesting collectibles, but not too many so that it becomes like Donkey Kong 64, and a genius sense of humor, and incredible writing. Even the ambient dialog between the campers is gold!
So far, my two favorite levels are Lungfishopolis "Noooo! Not the natural history museum!" and the ingenious Milkman Conspiracy level "What is your favorite color? Who is the Milkman? Is he nice in person? Are you or have you ever been part of the Rainbow Scouts?" "Overtime, my husband will grow to desire me less sexually. He will always love my pies though."
If you like good games, I recommend Pyschonauts. If not, pass this purchase over. It's available on Steam for only $20, and it's definitely the best purchase I've made this year. If you do buy it, make sure to pick up a wired 360 controller to plug into you're USB port. Keyboard's don't make platforming easy.
Like most Japanese videos, I have no idea what's going on. But it's cute and it's Phoenix Wright, and therefore I like it :) Best part of the video is for sure chibi Jean Armstrong XP
@MrSadistic
You have to beat it! I can't say for sure whether the endings good or not, but if it's anything like the rest of the game, then it will be incredible!
That vid at the end there... I've seen a thousand different spin offs of it. Some with Rozen Maiden characters, others with Final Fantasy characters. It's a 2chan meme, I think.
Psychonauts is so great. Lunfishopolis "NO! He's headed for the puppy dog orphanage!" and Milkman Conspiracy "Although I smell like faeces, I deserve your respect." are so great, but all the levels (besides that theatre one) are amaaazing.
@SunTzu
Intresting, Do you have any idea what they're saying?
@Sarin
Thank you :)
"Everyone like's apple pie, but rhubarb pie is... controversial"
Wait, you hated the theater one too? Thank god! I thought I was alone in thinking it was made of fail, what with having to keep changing the set, and the lack of funny moments. The boss fight was amusing though.
Okay, I KNEW I recognized the song. It's IOSYS, song name Oyome ni Shinasai. Like most of the IOSYS songs/vids, its based on the Touhou series (Shmups with Loli's, basically).
Oooh Psychonauts, must have another go at that. Last time I played I got to the part where you get chased by some bull and just couldn't do it on keyboard.
I have Psychonauts on the PS2 and beat it- you ain't seen nothing yet. I refuse to spoil anything, only the fact that the ending practically screams for a sequel. Why, Schafer, why?!! Oh, and thanks for linking me again. :)

Fuck I just missed the cut off!
@Taumpytears
Sorry :( Y0j1mb0 will get you in tomorrows though!
Man wtf. I've had Psychonauts for the longest time (I think a little bit before it hit epic cult-classic status) and I still haven't beaten it.
Hooray!
@MrSadistic
You have to beat it! I can't say for sure whether the endings good or not, but if it's anything like the rest of the game, then it will be incredible!
That vid at the end there... I've seen a thousand different spin offs of it. Some with Rozen Maiden characters, others with Final Fantasy characters. It's a 2chan meme, I think.
Great recap.
Psychonauts is so great. Lunfishopolis "NO! He's headed for the puppy dog orphanage!" and Milkman Conspiracy "Although I smell like faeces, I deserve your respect." are so great, but all the levels (besides that theatre one) are amaaazing.

hahahaha...i love how you added a pic of slowking

IOSYS releases some pretty sweet stuff, check out "Overdrive" if you get the chance.
@F Whipple
Thank :) Glad you liked it.
@SUNTZU
Thanks for the info :) I'll be sure to check it all out tomorrow!
Gee, long time no see!
@vongore
I know! Sorry I haven't been around much, I need some time to recuperate after the devising by zero fiasco ;)
Piiiiiiiig, just added you on dr. mario for the wii, my FC is 4796 0815 1533
@SWPM: You typotizatored (yay making up words!) my name, and didn't add anything about the blog. Sorry if I sound like a dick about that.
omg, that PW video makes me love life.
Awesome.
Oooh Psychonauts, must have another go at that. Last time I played I got to the part where you get chased by some bull and just couldn't do it on keyboard.
Something to do after the MGS marathon!
1) Guess I'd better play me some psychonauts.
2) Thanks for the update!
@Knives
I'll go add you now!
@4KnuckleShuffle
Sorry about that!
@Torzelan
The 360 controller should help you out there :)
@Pixel Blue
You're welcome :)
I have Psychonauts on the PS2 and beat it- you ain't seen nothing yet. I refuse to spoil anything, only the fact that the ending practically screams for a sequel. Why, Schafer, why?!! Oh, and thanks for linking me again. :)
@Matthew Blake
I can't wait to see it! I'm hoping that it'll get a sequel like Beyond Good and Evil.
No problem, you deserved it :)
