Video games you're playing?

Got Cuphead also.

Bloody fantastic game. But anyone thinking about getting it should be warned that the difficulty is high. Not just for "beating" the game... the difficulty will skyrocket further if you're the type that must do 100% of everything. Getting an A+ score on a boss requires that you never get hit, parry at least 3 things, and connect with multiple specials. Alot of players are finding themselves getting murdered over and over and over. And that's just on regular mode. Expert mode, which needs to be unlocked, makes everything more aggressive and gives bosses even more forms. And every single boss already has multiple forms.

Bosses have extremely varied attacks, and I've yet to see anything that's even remotely unfair or broken. The game is too well-tuned for that.

I've put about maybe 2 hours into it so far. I've gotten a perfect in every area in the first world so far. Except that treetop one; I'm told the timer bit in that stage is bugged, as people dont seem to be able to get a perfect there due to that. So that's moderately annoying but I'll go back to that place later.
 
I bought New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Wii at a garage sale. I thought I might like them but I didn't, the games were both kind of frustrating and I found it hard to even get past the first level. Oh well, on eBay they go.

Currently playing Cuphead right now. If Contra and Walt Disney had a child, this game would be it.

I got it as well. I love the aesthetics, the sound track and the general vibe of the game, it's just a bit too difficult for me. Played it for a good hour, then handed my boyfriend the controller and went back to playing Rimworld :D

I've barely played anything else for the last week. This game is perfection.

Completed a randomizer run just now (mode added by the expansion). Utter bloody chaos. Turns out that if every single enemy on floor 4 is allowed to move on every single beat, things get a tad unpleasant.

A big thank-you to the freeze spell, shield scroll, and obsidian cutlass for making that win even remotely possible. And the Necrodancer himself came super close to getting me at the end. Had that fight gone on for just one or two more beats, I would have lost.

It only gets harder from here.

Spelunky.

Good grief this game can be hilarious.

I've so far beaten Olmec and won a couple of runs, as well as made it through the Mothership, the Worm, and gotten the shield out of the haunted castle.
 
Lately, a whole lot of Max Payne 3. Beat the other two games in the trilogy over the summer and the first couple weeks of school, and I must say (at the risk of coming off as arrogant) that this franchise was one of the first to blur the line between video games and art.
 
Yesterday I bought Euro Truck Simulator 2, even with keyboard it is really fun to play, I see my self wasting a lot of hours in it lol.
 
I got Super Mario Odyssey last weekend and I love it. I also dug out my old Harvest Moon Ds Cute and I've been playing that.

Since I have a crappy laptop, only GTA 2 and NES games through an emulator. I finished Megaman 2 a while ago. It was a favorite of mine when I was a child, and I started playing Turtles 2. Occasionally I play Doom (the 90s ones) although I'm sick of them.

You do of course know that if Nintendo ever found out you were playing their games on an emulator, even oldies such as NES games, they'd be within their rights to sue the pants off you for copyright infringement? Emulation and use of ROM images has been a legal "grey" area for years.

Not worth worrying about. That's a boatload of wasted money for them to pursue, in a digital realm where everyone is anonymous or finding a way to misdirect. The most I've ever even heard of them doing is sending cease-and-desist letters related to REALLY SPECIFIC roms (Mario, Zelda) to take those ones down (they send these directly to the sites that host the roms), but beyond that they dont seem to give a fart. They're not dumb, they know full well you cant control the internet or at all police that sort of thing. There's a reason why roms and things like fan-games are so very easy to find. Even those specific roms they occaisionally target are still really easy to find.

What WILL tick them off though is really high-profile fangames. Like that recent Pokemon one. THAT is what'll set them off. In that case though the devs of those games have only themselves to blame. They should have known what would happen in that case.

When it comes to roms though (of older consoles anyway), as a rule nobody actually cares much. 99% of these games arent making anyone any money anymore, and even the very few that do, do so in a limited fashion. These companies dont want to waste money on something that wont get them anything in return.
 
Reminds of those lawsuits regarding downloading music and movies. They can't sue everyone. Also you can listen to almost anything on Youtube without downloading anything. So downloading is illegal but listening to it anytime on Youtube for free is fine? The legal stuff is confusing to me.

Actually Youtube has been clamping down on that alot in recent times. It depends on just who owns the song in question. If the company/group that owns the song is big and powerful enough (and thus, capable of producing enough money), Youtube will immediately act on whatever the heck it is they say.

It's become pretty frequent for videos to just be abruptly removed because some song was detected in them.
 
Back on topic: playing Else Heart.Break() today. Just hack my coffee and away we go!
