| They're all weak save for the last boss, but the beaver boss would be the worst. Thinking about the answer to that question though was like trying to tell you which bowel movement I've ever had was the worst. To add insult to injury, many of the game's boss fights make you fight the same boss later ... |

| I’m playing Tropical Freeze at the moment. It is my first DK game. It’s very creative and quite challenging, a nice change to the 2D Mario games which you can easily complete in a day. Super Mario Bros 2 laughs at your comment. It's a stupidly hard game (often in a bad way). As for DKC, I think the... |

| I beat Koishi in Touhou 11 Subterranean Animism's extra stage, which is considered to be one of the hardest in the series. It took me more attempts to clear it than any other prior; there were at least 66 attempts where I reached the first attack of the mid boss and I know I reset it after numerous ... |

| I've been playing Touhou Mountain of Faith again after its rerelease on Steam, but given that I'd already completed it on normal difficulty I decided to try and clear it again on hard. After many hours of attempts I finally managed to 1cc it using Reimu's forward focus shottype. https://www.youtube.... |

| I don't care about microtransactions in games per se; they've been part of the gaming industry for a long time and likely before anyone here was born. The issue is when the game design is clearly adjusted to make the player inclined towards buying them, for example when a game with a levelling up me... |

| No idea about the Pokemon games but if you like JRPGs I'd recommend Fire Emblem Awakening, which mixes RPG mechanics with turn based tactics. If you haven't played Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii, I'd recommend that for a more traditional RPG, with realtime mechanics akin to Final Fantasy XII or Dra... |

| There hasn't been many new games I've been interested in playing, and then this month six games released on the PC that I've been spreading my time over. To be fair, several of those games have been rereleases of games I've played before. Firstly, Higurashi Chapter 8 came out and though I didn't thi... |

| Some early 3D games, like Wolfenstein and Doom. At the time of their release, I thought they looked ugly compared to 2D games of the time, garishly violent and stressful to play. Plus I was just more into Japanese games developed for consoles with their kid-friendly cute mascot characters. But going... |

| I've been playing a recently released Chinese developed Touhou fangame, Touhou Elegant Impermanence of Sakura. I've cleared it on normal and hard modes, and trying my hand at lunatic mode. I like the game's mechanics, it has a bullet canceling mechanic that rewards killing enemies at the right time ... |

| That would be a massive SPOILER , so the answer is... SPOILER WARNING FOR HALF LIFE ALYX I think so. There is a female human that you overhear collaborating with the Combine that seemingly knows a lot about what happened at Black Mesa, and many assume it to be Mossman. You don't see what happens to ... |

| I've been playing Half Life Alyx over the past week and finished it today. It's a brilliant game, and really feels like it's heralding the beginning of a new era of gaming, in the same way Super Mario 64 did for the first 3D games. It blends frenetic action, nail biting horror, exploration, puzzle s... |

| I'm still playing through the main campaign, probably past half way through at this point (Chapter 7). I'll add that the game is both a lot like the former games in the series, but seems influenced by more modern games, particularly survival horror games; the Resident Evil series and The Last of Us ... |

I also have a few light novel series I'm into, and I like to collect posters and more recently figurines. I would consider myself a fairly casual watcher, usually catching a show or two each season on C... |
