I would not get too comfortable there with the people that are right on your ass.
Yeah I know, I've said that a lot before. Like I said, I consider myself the most casual in the top 9 (well me and Wren) so 7th is quite an achievement. Maybe I should hurry up and pass Wren before I get passed that way 6th can be my peak. Top 5 is obviously impossible.

 
Yeah Rebirth is local only. Edmund said online wasn't a programming issue, but that it wasn't fun without clear communication
Ugh, local only? C'mon.

I hate the fuck ing excuses developers give for local only. Why wouldn't two players playing online with mics not be able to communicate clearly?

I was excited to do some Isaac coop with some of you.

I bet somehow you'd find a way for the disc to be too dirty for the coop to work.
 
Tyler, you should add an option to the poll for people whose parents were chain smokers and they probably inhaled enough secondhand smoke to have lung cancer by the time they're 35.
 
nuking the following from my backlog:

- american mcgee's alice
- deus ex
- gta 4
- ibb and obb
- hitman absolution (maybe)
- jak and daxter precursor legacy
- nba 2k14
- shift 2 unleashed
- sly cooper and thievius raccoonus
- two worlds II

if anyone can make a really good case for any of these I'd be interested to hear it.

Sly is fun and short. Deus Ex was a pretty good game. I like stealthy sneaky games though.
 
So Binding of Isaac has lots of poop.  That will be at least the third PS+ game (Don't Starve, Road Not Takes) where poop has a role in the game.

What the fuck!

Is that Jak & Daxter for PS2? It's better in the trilogy set on PS3 (not on Vita) because trophies. Ditto for Sly Cooper, though it's pretty good on Vita, too.

Jak and Sly are sweet man. Isn't Do Sex good too?

I think those 2 are near the top of the list in terms of pure platformers. I can understand it if you already played them on PS2, but if not, neither one take all that long and are really well done, IMO.
Was about to throw in my rec for those as well. They both hold up really well considering when they were released and the fact that they are 3D platformers

 
So, Binding of Isaac pros.  How "roguelike" is it?

Spelunky style, where every run you start from scratch?  Or Rogue Legacy style where you can slowly upgrade your character?

I did not think Jak 1 was bad on Vita. The other ones (which I skipped 2 because it is a frustrating steaming pile of shit) were brutal due to the lack of 2 sets of shoulder buttons. Rear touch pad controls are a PITA.

 
Isaac starts over every time. Though certain "accomplishments" unlock more of the game/characters/items. So some of the best items aren't available to randomly drop from the beginning. You have to do certain things for them to be unlocked. It's kind of a hybrid of the two ideas if that makes sense

 
Someone with photoshop skills (Ninja?) should make a little banner that we can add to our avatars or something.
OK, so I'm not really sure about any of these. CAG avatars are so small I really don't have a lot to work with, but here are a few designs:

This would obviously need to be edited every month, but that's not a huge burden as it's fairly basic.

This can be either for the month's platinum race, or the ongoing leaderboards. I can make some with gold/silver/bronze trophies for the other positions if people like this idea.

This is most in line with the original mock up. Would also need to be changed every month, or could be edited for 1st champ and just be an on going thing passed around. I can also make gold/silver/bronze versions for the other positions if we go that way.

If no one likes any of these, give me some suggestions and I'll try to make something else up.

You need to add a Professor Layton top hat.
 
Two Worlds 2 was lots of fun. That game is pretty crazy random glitchy. My character would just summon wolves that would explode into more wolves and restore my life every time they hurt someone. and like summoning anvils out of the air. Weird game but I really enjoyed it.

 
It's a larger spiritual successor to the free Slender game that was absurdly popular a year or two ago. I've only played the first level and so far it's decent enough, so I don't play many horror games so I haven't a lot to compare it to.

Coincidentally I was actually thinking of streaming it today, since I guess people like watching others get scared while playing video games or something, so I guess you can see what it's like then.
I usually say fuck scary games but picked up Dead Space 1 and 2 on sale this week. I wish I could stream them. Last year I played the DS1 trial while in a party with the game volume low so it wasn't as scary lol. #chicken

That'll give me more games to play in October besides my annual Costume Quest playthrough. Oh shit CQ2 is out soon. Nevermind. DS 1-3 can wait. Digital backlog FTW.

Oh that reminds me. Anyone (with a mic) want to do ibb and obb coop with me?
I've got it and a mic. My friend and I tried playing at launch but had connection issues even though we play together all the time so we stopped playing. Not sure if it was the game specifically or just random. I'd be willing to give it another shot.

Glad to hear skipping out on the Vita version was a good move. I might have to start the Jak/Sly/R&C games soon.

Burn em all.

It does make sense. Thanks.

My enjoyment of the game will probably fall right in between the two as well. I think I'll like it better than Spelunky but not as much as Rogue.

 
I'll play that game co-op.
Cool. What does your gaming timeframes look like. You free tonight or this weekend at all?

EDIT: Oh, and I'm not interested in going for the 100%. Just want to beat it once, so you'd have to be OK with that...

I think these are bad ass! If I had one I would be using that Sep. TT Champ curved one. Great job again!

The whole roguelike thing is really interesting to me. It seems we are pretty opposite. I see lots of people that just refuse to play anything with roguelike elements as well. I found Rogue Legacy to be too similar every run to hold my interest. Whereas Spelunky interested me because it wasn't very random, just really tough and it takes a while to see the patterns. Isaac is the best in my opinion because at first (in my case a couple hundred hours :p) everything seems random. But every time I play I figure out more of the "patterns" and start to realize that things aren't as random as they seem. Not easy to explain without spoiling which I won't do because I know a lot of people are waiting for Rebirth

Ugh, I hope there are no connection issues, or if there were that they'd be patched by now. Let me see what Bums tonight\weekend plans are, seems like a nice short game to wrap up this weekend before Destiny on Tuesday.

 
Cool. What does your gaming timeframes look like. You free tonight or this weekend at all?

EDIT: Oh, and I'm not interested in going for the 100%. Just want to beat it once, so you'd have to be OK with that...
I should be free tonight unless something comes up but I got time this weekend also. I'm fine with just playing through it once to beat it. What time or day works best for you?
 
Yeah this is cool, I just saw it as well. Goes through January.

Not sure why I want it on both consoles, but if it's a cool enough game to play through twice might as well get trophies twice. Maybe the PS3 digital version will go on sale for like $30-$40 sometime before Jan 25th when the deal expires.
Only reason I can think of is trophies. Are there two trophy lists?

I might sell off the disc versions I get and go digital.
 
Sounds like you're assuming I won't play other other games.
Ugh, your too literal. I was just saying if I have been able to keep ahead of you it will only continue once I catch up on the 2x trophies. And if I get the 25 I will stay even more ahead of you all other games being equal. Of course that could and probably will change eventually as you arent married with a kid. My game time can fluctuate greatly. I have been playing more games lately than I normally do.

I'm free tonight from 5pm MT - 1am or so, but then I'll fall asleep.

Should be free all day tomorrow too, except from 4pm - 8pm.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't care that much about the tiTTy scores in games. Maybe because my leaderboard position sucks.
Yeah, you're pretty much stuck in place on the leaderboards. Not much to look forward to there.

- american mcgee's alice
- deus ex

- ibb and obb
- hitman absolution (maybe)
- jak and daxter precursor legacy

- sly cooper and thievius raccoonus
- two worlds II

If that's Deus Ex HR, play it. Definitely play Sly and Jak as well. The only other one I've played is Two Worlds 2, and I wish I hadn't. That's saying something because I'm really lenient when it comes to critiquing games. It really sucks bad.
