Game Club Plays: Galak-Z

Hey everyone. Me again, Scrooloose, with my pick for this weeks game club. This time it's 17-Bit's arcade space shooter, Galak-Z. This one is fun and feels like an old arcade title that you might drop a bunch of quarters in to keep playing.

Battle alien space bugs and run missions for command while earning upgrades for your little space ship in ever increasing difficulty levels of play. It's $10 on Steam and if you want to join us in playing that'd be great. I'm sure there are plenty of Let's Play videos out there as well if you don't feel like spending the money. Goodness knows I feel that.

too hot to wrup

I hate summer and I hate my flat.

 

Thomas: Anything I'd play on my PC or console would just increase the temps in my flat even more and it's already a sauna, so maybe some Switch stuff while taking refuge in my fridge.

Grey: i'd like to say that i have been/will be productive, but amfv [a mind forever voyaging] and i are going to get a divorce.  lol.  i haven't played it at all this week and that was sort of my plan [for the weekend, too.] - i finished off costume quest and am thinking about what to put in it's place, but haven't quite figured out what i want.  i'm not sure if i want another rpg or a platform game.  so it's sort of a tie between those two things.  i'm back on the quest for glory 3 story trail, so that's good.  tl;dr:  greywolfe is being lazy and unproductive.

Scroo: Well I waited for the Steam Summer Sale to start and finally picked up 'The Surge' so I'm looking forward to diving into that. More Vermintide as well because that's the bee's knees. But not a lot of either because we're having a family reunion this weekend, so games are taking a bit of a back seat.

Cody: Stellaris! Dr S what have you done!!!!??!??!

Tru: Persona 5

AJ: Knowing myself, probably none of the games I just picked up in the Steam Summer Sale. Maybe some Street Fighter V though. (And Superhot!)

Post Wrup 3

Did everyone get through E3 alive? If so, tell us about your personal highlights. Who “won”? Who “lost”? Is PS VR epic, or is it just great? So many important questions…

But the most important of all: What are you playing over the weekend?

Wrup 3

Wow, it’s already been a year since the last E3.

Video games are sooo great. Can’t wait for all the amazing new video games from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft and Bethesda and …sorry, I don’t have it in me right now. I have a tooth that’s killing me and I should probably go to the dentist, but fucking dentists… Nobody likes dentists! Dentists most likely don’t even like themselves. I mean, who thinks “Oh gosh, I love teeth sooo much, I think I want to be a dentist when I grow up!”

Nobody thinks that! Read more

WRUP Word of the Day

It's getting hot around here these days and probably where you are too if you live in the northern hemisphere. It's times like this that make me want to sit indoors under the cooler and brush up on my vocabulary so I can hold intelligent conversations with people who are real smart. Lucky for myself and others like me, we have the Pronunciation Manual on the ol' YouTubes to help get us by. I'll post a word of the day below.


Anyway, It's the weekend and you know what that means... I assume.

What's everyone playing?

Trulegendkiller: Reigns for Gameclub, Went back to replay Uncharted 2, and finished (finally) Horizon Zero Dawn.

Andrew: Still hooked on Injustice 2. I hate the forced grind they subject you to if you want to level up and get new gear (and also if you just don't feel like shelling out for premier skins). But fortunately, the game itself is satisfying enough to not make it feel like too much of a chore.

Greywolfe: reigns again!  and more sm3dw.  i'm almost back at the spot i was at before my save got corrupted.  so, yay?  that plus costume quest...and quest for glory 3...and a mind forever voyaging. i've never played through costume quest before [only seen it played] so it's...sort of fun? i feel like it has problems in the "my first rpg" department, though.

Yoda: Reigns and Dota 2

Scrooloose: As with the others I'll be playing some more Reigns for Game Club. Certainly I'll be playing more Vermintide (gotta finish those contracts for epic loots) and I'm very likely to crack and pull the trigger on picking up The Surge this weekend.

Dr. S.: I don't know... he didn't say
