General Gaming How do video game graphics work?
gamer.tv replied to Spawn_of_Apathy's topic in The Spawn Point
So I’m summary, triangles and maths is the answer? -
General Gaming What are you playing today?

It’s a shame that DKR hasn’t been brought back with online multiplayer. -
General Gaming What games have you purchased lately?
gamer.tv replied to Chris-'s topic in The Spawn Point
No, just 4K LED. I can’t bring myself to buy anything too nice with a 3 year old pottering about. This will hopefully see us through for the time being and then, maybe next time around, we can go luxury. -

gamer.tv replied to Chris-'s topic in The Spawn Point
I know I’m going to have a fair few drinks today and whilst I never buy anything drunk…hungover purchases are a different matter. We need a new TV so I’ve got my eye on a 50” Samsung and it might make sense to also get Spiderman and Pikmin 4 to celebrate that fact. -

3rd dungeon down in Minish Cap and it’s amazing that 2004 Nintendo game can feel so much like a great 2023 indie game. I’ve used a guide a handful of times, not because the game is ever hard, but it’s nice not having to overthink parts of the game (not the puzzles, more some of the obscure parts of progression). Again, Switch Expansion pass is well worth it and I’m wondering just how many GBA, GBC, and N64 games I’ll play through over the next year. -
General Gaming Who else loves rally games?
gamer.tv replied to ShreddieMercury's topic in The Spawn Point
It’s been ages since I played a rally game (V Rally 99), but there was a stone I loved a racing game- but that also coincided with having hours of free time. -

I’ve been playing Minish Cap and I’ve completed the first two dungeons. Game is wonderful and for someone that likes the more traditional Zelda, is a great, modern feeling version of the formula (compared say with GBC games which feel a bit too close to Links Awakening - and the unnecessary challenge of them). I think I’ll finish this and then play through Metroid Fusion as HLTB tells me its only 5 hours. After that, I’ll grab a few Switch games I want and balance them wit God of War. -
The premise I love and the tone - but the jank (and the saving system) killed the first game for me. Give me that odd tone, the weapons, the setting, photography etc but complete remove any aspects that aren’t player focused/design choices that inhibit gamer fun.

General Gaming ~*D1P's Games of 2023*~
gamer.tv replied to Commissar SFLUFAN's topic in The Spawn Point
Fire Emblem: Three Houses Metroid Prime Remastered Resident Evil 4 Remake Spiderman: Miles Morales Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Super Mario Wonder Wonder is fucking great, just really, really great. There’s a person out there who has this as their first side scrolling Mario game and they’re a lucky person. -
Just on the way home after spending three days at Disneyland Paris

You aren’t wrong. -
What's a story you have that people wouldn't believe?
gamer.tv replied to Fizzzzle's topic in The Shower
I can neither confirm or deny this. However, if you put us side by side you could make a very easy guess. -

When I was 16 I was in a music video for a local band where my opposite co-star has since been in Les Mis for a 3 year run and plays Elsa in London. -
Just on the way home after spending three days at Disneyland Paris
gamer.tv replied to gamer.tv's topic in The Shower
It helped having a lot with us, but seemingly each adult did a similar thing so even with presents, toys, food, the odd fast track it wasn’t horrific. Though in reflection, most sites say to bring £1500 for a 3 day trip…which I think we all ended up doing. -
I mean, firstly what a wonderful trip. I went with my wife, daughter (3), sister, brother-in-law and niece (5) and everyone had a mega fun time. There’s always the feeling that you’d like more time, but apart from two rides, we did everything we wanted to do. My favourite, subtle win however has been budgeting a stupid amount of money, just in case, and returning with maybe half of it? It did help that a lot of our trip was prepaid (food, hotel, transfers, flights, entry), but still - not a bad way to enter 2024. We think we might look to go to California in 5 years time so that’ll be fun! Also probably just enough time to save up to go at either Christmas, Easter, or over the Summer.

Control can indeed fuck off. Even on Agent I’ve had to restart 5 times due to varying degrees of mid-90s gaming bullshit. (Natalya running into a crate that was blowing up, being swamped by grenades, going back through a door and essentially soft locking myself from the game, dying by being knocked from one bullet to another). I’ve played some Super Mario Wonder as a palette cleanser and it’s just great - but I’m vaguely determined to finish GoldenEye and then start on either Minish Cap or Metroid Fusion. -
Ask me a history question intentionally in bad faith

Does this mean I’ve won? -

I know it’s a ridiculous service, but the Expansion Pack on Switch is just great. GBA and N64 alone make the entry point worth it and even if the controls occasionally suck, it’s just great. Also, Jungle on GoldenEye can fuck off, worse as the next level is Control. -
Now, you don’t have to outright tell us - but which state is he most closely aligned to?

I love teaching, but dear me, the Christmas period is so full on.
gamer.tv replied to gamer.tv's topic in The Shower
I won’t lie, when you’re on top of things, the 13 weeks of holiday is spectacular. When you’re not, it’s still a welcome respite and time to catch up.
