Re: Discussion: Video Games
How do you guys recomend we stream computer games. Dokota was playing Castlevania a while ago and streamed it while me and Cod talked to him through skype. We tried to do a Let's play type thing, but my voice lagged in the stream by a lot.How do you recomend we do this.
So check out my Deviant art http://exranion.deviantart.com/ It has ponies, furries, and the link to my tumblr!

Re: Discussion: Video Games
I would suggest using Livestream and using a voice program besides Skype. You're going to get voice lag because of the way streaming works. People watching the stream (including you) are already behind the streamer because his computer has to parse and send video/sound to the stream provider's servers. The servers then need to buffer the incoming data at a steady rate and then send it to viewers. You're comments are already far behind (in computer terms) the streamer's actions. Then your comment needs to be sent to a voice server and then to the streamer. Then finally your voice is buffered and sent as the streamer receives it.
The biggest suggestion is finding a vent or a mumble server for voice chat. Skype in it's design is inherently laggy and slow. The programs I mentioned are better suited to faster voice send/receive time. No matter what though, you're going to get some voice lag.

Re: Discussion: Video Games
She is, and, funnily enough, that's explored in one of the game's storylines! XDWait, I thought Cream was a pacifist. What is she doing in a fighting game?
I think the best way to explain it is a video of gameplay... hmm... Ah, here.

Ah, so it's kind of like 3D but not too much in the y-axis. Seems interesting, though I find it amusing that a game famous for its 2D entries is being turned into a predominantly 2D genre but is 3D. *giggles*

Re: Discussion: Video Games
There are two old Castlevania games I'd like to own again.
First and foremost, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It was the first one I ever owned, and I never had the chance to beat it before it became unusable. An unopened, new CD of this game sells on Ebay for about $60-300CAD... $60 is far, since their asking $30 and it's a little bit more to have it shipped. Anyone asking more then $90 is wasting there time, it won't sell for that high a price.
The second one I'd like to own, because it steered away from Alucard, and the Belmonts, is Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. This one was good on the level of beign able to create your weapons from various materials you found. You also gained several summon companions, each would evolve and morph into something different depending on what type of weapon you used. Ex. Fist, Spear, Sword, Special. And each one had it's own purposes outside of fighting too. Fairy for healing and breaking locks, Golem for defense and breaking walls, Bird to jump great distances, and Devil for slipping through shadows and using sneak attacks!
I'd have to say, I'd like Curse of Darkness more though for the weapon making factor. There were a lot of Eastereggs if you used rare materials properly. I made a spiked shield, an electric Guitar, bat with nails, a broom even! The thing with rare materials is, you only get them once... you use it, and you're stuck with that weapon.
Oooo... I can't wait to play them again, if ever.

Re: Discussion: Video Games
Ah, spoilers. Basically, the game runs though the story by playing different characters, interacting with this one robot, named Emerl, made for fighting. Cream is one of those characters!Sleet wrote:Ah, so it's kind of like 3D but not too much in the y-axis. Seems interesting, though I find it amusing that a game famous for its 2D entries is being turned into a predominantly 2D genre but is 3D. *giggles*
So how do they explain why Cream fights?
To explain why she fights...
She and Emerl get trapped by Eggman, and are in one of his facilities. They can't escape because a different E102 Gamma that serves Eggman is guarding the exit. At first, Emerl tries to fight the way out, as Cream stands by, refusing to fight. Emerl tries to get her to fight, but still she refuses. Moved by her pacifism, Emerl also begins to refuse to fight- but still tries to protect Cream, and proceeds to get pounded on as a "human" shield. Cream can't stand seeing Emerl getting hurt like this for her sake, so she finally jumps in and tries to intervene.
And, still, she mainly has her Chao, (Cheeze is his name?) fight for her.

The Final Battle while playing as gamma was epic. The music for both of the games were cool.
Re: Discussion: Video Games
He does die at the end of that one - Eggman remade him again in this one, and so once again Gamma is evil D: Sonic and others even get confused when they get attacked by Gamma when they first see him again.Sleet wrote:Cheese I believe.

Does Omega have Gamma's "soul" like he does in the comic? I haven't really played many of the recent games so I'm not really up on a lot of the story stuff.

Re: Discussion: Video Games
Never thought a game would release it's source code, but supposedly that's going to happen to Doom 3. I'm wondering what the code will look like and if an awesome opensource project will start up around the released source. Either way, more companies should release old source code.

Actually plenty of old games have released their Source Code. The first two Doom games have along with I think Hexen and Heretic.

I think it only kinda silly that you have to either pay 5,536 crowns, wait a day, or pay real money to get energies. Other than that I like the game.

So I was playing Bastion a little bit ago and I must say this, that game is really good. Its nice and colorful, the narrator has a cool voice, and the way he tells the story is just, really unique. Because he tells it as you go through, not in like a cutscene or something. Its pretty fun overall.

After a while, his voice starts to annoy you and creep out other people around you. Or at least that's how I felt. I think he breaks the 4th wall once or twice within the whole game.The Grey Wolverine wrote:So I was playing Bastion a little bit ago and I must say this, that game is really good.

A shape-shifting tanuki (raccoon) girl, but a raccoon nonetheless. I'm honestly surprised, especially since the theme of the game is ghosts and spirits.
