SaleWrup

Well, we keep going from one sale to another. If it isn't the GOG winter sale or the Steam Christmas sale, then it's the Humble store sale. And I'm trying to avoid that particular sale because it's singing the siren song of Dark Souls.

And while I want to play Dark Souls, it'll open up the floodgates to terrible DRM. And we wouldn't want that :P

So, if you're participating in any of the sales going on [there's also a PSN store sale, I'm told] - why don't you tell us what you're playing or planning to play once you've done shopping?

This is what the Twinstiq crew are up to: Read more

It's like Swordfish.

But not at all.

Hey, folks.  This is Greywolfe here, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year on behalf of Twinstiq.  Given that it's holiday time, we've all basically gone fishing, but we'll be back.

While we've gone fishing, do feel free to tell us what you're playing!

FALLWRUP

I’m back from Copenhagen just in time to get an extended vacation in the Wasteland. I doubt anyone has time this week to read anything, so let’s just get this over with before I jump back into Fallout/Halo 5/Tomb Raider/SW Battlefront.

So what’s everyone playing this weekend? Read more

We‘ve recently seen what Sony has in store for us in 2016 during their Paris Games Week conference. The obvious big hitters were of course No Man’s Sky, Horizon and GT Sport (which btw. is not GT7, despite sneaking the 7 into the trailer several times, you bastard!), but we also finally saw a bit more about Dreams, the new Media Molecule game. Still not 100% sure on what it actually is, but it looks a bit like Project Spark meets 3D sculpting, which is amazing in theory, but will most likely be over everyone’s skill set when it reaches the consumer. Won’t stop me from sharing some ideas I already had with you (feel free to do the same in the comments below)

1: You play as a penis with erectile dysfunction, sliding down a huge tube. On your way to the goal you can collect Viagra pills to boost your score and grow stiffer. The catch: if you collect too many, you will suffer a heart attack and lose a life.

2: You play as multiple penii at the same time and fight against evil vaginas by pissing and spunking on them. Watch out though: if two or more penii touch each other, they decide to become homosexuals and try to convert the rest of your penii.

3: A Doodle Jump style platformer where you play as a penis. Your goal is to jump from giant bouncy boob to giant bouncy boob while avoiding condoms and hanging breasts.

4: A remake of Super Mario Bros. 1-1

While I think of more great level ideas, what is everyone playing over the weekend?

 

  • Andrew (Twitter): Ghostbusters and Costume Quest 2 on Saturday. Then, once Halloween is overL I may just subject myself to another kind of horror entirely, Halo 2 on Games For Windows Live.
  • Dante: Scream Fortress is live! There may not be a new event this year, but they added enough to make it fun again. That's what I'll be doing until it's over.
  • Greywolfe (Twitter, YouTube): police quest three.  i'm just about at the half-way point of the game.  hearthstone's tavern brawl.  if i ever get in to be able to play it, because this week seemed to be a mess for me.  [but hopefully that'll be better over the weekend.] - inca [yeah.  i still haven't finished it.  :P] - and the tail end of rex, where i finish up exploring the abandoned city and get myself off the crazy planet.  i've finished up banjo kazooie and have started up the original spyro the dragon.  there's bits of it i hate.  i dunno if i'll finish it.  :(
  • Scrooloose: Going to be getting started on Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition, so excited about that. Original Sin was such a pleasure to play, still really really high on my list of top RPGs. I can't wait to see the changes in the enhanced edition. Still playing Volgarr the Viking, that's been super tough and a lot of fun. I basically play it until I can't stand failing anymore then go on to something else for a while. And of course I'll still be playing my fair share of Rocket League because I can't stop myself from loving that game.
  • Steve: Destiny and Battleborn closed technical test for the most part. Also looking at phones and realizing how much Canadians get shafted by our 2 big telecoms.
  • Thomas (Twitter): Maybe I’ll finally finish Halo 4 and AC: Unity. If not, I will probably return to the Witcher 3, because it’s been a while and I could use a good AAA RPG right now, since I will miss the Fallout launch.
  • Trish (Twitch): Spending the weekend browsing mobile games on google plays market since ive gotten my new phone, also playing some destiny.
  • Yoda0VGs (Twitter): More Vermintide for the Review!

  • Andrew (Twitter): Various Wii U virtual console Castlevania games. (There are actually quite a few on there.)
  • Dante: Hearthstone, TF2 and who knows what else. Maybe Viewtiful Joe 2.
  • Greywolfe (Twitter, YouTube): banjo kazooie is done.  it is a complete blast.  :)  rex is nearly finished, too.  just mopping up different areas of the abandoned city, now.  inca got stalled, again :P - i just dread the end of that game.  :) - the big world of warcraft project has nearly finished up darkshore.  so i'm heading to a new zone, soon.  i'm going to have to find something to replace banjo kazooie with and i'm not sure what.
  • Scrooloose: Rocket League for me still. Planning on picking up Hearts of Stone for Witcher 3 and getting my Gwent decks claimed, so going through that. Also I may finally put the effort in to making my character in Path of Exile again.
  • Thomas (Twitter): Probably more Kingdom, Rebel Galaxy and Rogue State. What a great season for Indie-Games. Who need Halo and Assassin’s Creed?
  • Trish (Twitch): Pre ordered my copy of Fallout 4, and grinding light levels in Destiny. I'm so terrible at this game it's not funny.
  • Yoda0VGs (Twitter): Gonna be checking out some Warhammer Vermintide!!

 

Picture: The Young Folks

W.R.U.P The Bored Edition

I've been away for a week and the first thing I see on the front page is a very awkward yet appealing gluteus maximus, otherwise known as a 'butt'. Loved the article by the way Grey. Alright let's start this wrap up right by talking about a game that is on sale on Steam that might be a decent buy if you're looking for something to waste time on or even if you're looking for a new 'scratch that itch' game.

If you haven't already picked up Darkest Dungeon it might be the time.

Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic rogue like turn-based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes against unimaginable horrors, stress, famine, disease, and the ever-encroaching dark. Can you keep your heroes together when all hope is lost? - Steampage

Yes it is in early access, but this isn't one that's going to stay in early forever, from what I've read the game is close to release with only a few minor bumps to iron out. Also from the reviews being mostly positive I might actually snatch this one up too.

On a side note, I'd like to say that I've fallen to temptation. Yes, I, Tisnight have started playing Destiny. *Pauses as the audience screams in horror* Alright, calm down, it's actually not as bad as I was lead to believe but it's still not my cup of tea. Haven't been in a shooter mood as much I've been in a simulation mood, and that's where prison architect has been scratching my gaming itch.

But enough about me, what else is everyone playing?

Greywolfe(Youtube, Twitter): I've picked up from where i left off with Rex nebular, which probably means that I'm going to also pick up Inca once more.  i think that game is pretty close to being done, anyway.  World of Warcraft has me in another night elf zone trapped in some caves [again.] - and police quest 3 /just/ made me book a drunk guy.  i remember that there's a cut scene right after that that /actually/ gets the plot of the game moving [80/410 points later.] - other than that, I'm trying to play a bit of banjo-kazooie.  i dunno how that'll go.
Andrew(Twitter):Batman: Arkham City and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition.
Dr.S(Thomas) (Dead)(Twitter): I will sit my strap my girlfriend to a chair and do bad things to her. Nah, nothing filthy, you swine! I'll let her play The Beginner's Guide, which put me already in a state of perpetual depression. Or is Assassin's Creed: Unity responsible for that? Playing Undertale probably isn't helping either. God, what am I doing to my fragile psyche?
Yoda0VGs (Twitter): More Dota and maybe some Battlefront if I can stop being cynical ;P
Dante: Hearthstone (this week's brawl is a lot of fun), TF2 and Dragon's Crown.

My thoughts exactly.

Alright guys I'm outta here.
