In my never-ending catalogue of racing games (and really, games of all genres if I'm being real) to play on Steam, New Star GP is a fun one that I've come across.
It's a polygonal-graphic style Formula 1 game with arcade-y physics, but tracks that are designed to look like real F1 tracks. One moment, you're racing on "Totally Not Monaco", then "Totally Not Suzuka", then "Totally Not Spa-Francorchamps", then "Totally Not COTA" and the list goes on.
Actually a really fun little arcade racer with a lot of personality.
I really didn't think we'd ever see a Standard rotation without Shadowstep, but here we are. Some may think this will lead to a less "bouncy" gameplan for Rogue. I think what's more likely to happen is that they want to clear some space to print more bounce cards so they have a chance to see play instead of Shadowstep.
I somehow very much doubt that Death's Advance needed to be Double-Frost. Surely it could've been Single-Frost or 1 mana. Demon Hunter has its own version of Mal'Ganis now, and surely it's going to be just as useful as that card was.
This core set is really fucking weird. Halazzi? Mayor freaking Noggenfogger?! Really absurd.
Well, I continued to play the game even though I gave it a negative review. I will admit that the game did become a bit more fun when I unlocked the Escudo (or rather, the "Adares Titan CXR"), but the game is just barren and empty both in regards to the tracks and the lack of any competition. The pacenotes given by the co-driver are also painfully bad because they're either blatantly wrong, called out way too late, or not called out at all.
The game's default physics are really bizarre, so if you do wish to play the game, experiment with physics options that are not the default and save yourself a lot of headaches.
The things that we do for achievements, I'll tell you what.
At the moment, we don't know what the reveal schedule looks like because Blizzard hasn't posted one, so we're in the dark on when these are finished.
What's really curious to me is that both of Shaman's dual-class pairings (Rogue and Priest) depict Shaman on the left side. This means that there's either two "wheels" of class pairings, or someone made a mistake and Shaman is actually supposed to be on the right for one of these pairings. The former intrigues me a lot, but it's almost definitely the latter.
In traditional tarot card reading, The Heirophant represents tradition, established beliefs, and the importance of conforming to the standard rules of your current environment.
Choosing Anduin was a deliberate choice of irony since he himself is a Priest, meaning that by being represented as a Paladin, he is himself is not conforming to tradition. In lore, Varian also wanted him to be a Warrior so being a Priest in the first place is also a tradition breaker. Anduin in recent lore has also slowly became more and more Paladin-like, so I thought this was a good way to bring that piece of lore into the game.
Having a basic hero as a card also foreshadows a theme that I want to do for the mini-set. Now that the Valeera Warrior card exists, it's been proven that the team is at the very least willing to make the basic heroes as cards in such a way that isn't so far removed from their normal characterization.
Oh yeah, and I also think about the number of people that would've tried to boycott the game (or at least demanding raising the age rating) if it had came out today.
Somehow I don't think Gran Turismo 2 having the song "Sex Type Thing" by Stone Temple Pilots would've won people over if that game was new either.
Every time there's a GoG sale, I'm always amazed at how small the game library is compared to Steam's.
By the way, since all of the RollerCoaster Tycoon games are on sale, I'd also like to mention the RollerCoaster Tycoon Bundle, currently on sale for $12.49. It has all of the 3 games up there in the article, and RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic, which was a mobile port of the first two games combined and then ported to PC.
Now, if "mobile game ported to PC" raises any red flags, that's understandable, but RCT Classic is really good. Plays just like the originals, only with slightly different UI. It's a really good port and it's a recommendation to own for fans of the classic games.
Previously, Roboquest in all of these sale articles linked to the base version. From this point onward, we'll be linking to the deluxe version instead, which also contains the soundtrack and art book. If you noticed a strange increase in the price, this is why. You can of course, still buy the base version if you want and it'll cost less.
If you notice any other games on sale that you want other people to know about, feel free to share it in the comments.
This is a very primitively designed thread at the moment. I wanted to get all of the Major Arcana out there after I completed them because I really enjoy I work I made with them, but this will evolve into a full custom expansion.
Love these unboxing articles.
It's cool to see the effort that goes into each of these big boxes of goodies... and also seeing Flux's extremely tiny hands.
It does double, then double again.
1/1 > 2/2 > 4/4... I guess that's it. Don't know what I was thinking when I made that 8/8 comment.
I believe Herald upgrades cap at 4, meaning that when fully upgraded, Cho'Gall will summon two 8/8s that destroy minions in the opponent's deck.

Any time you'd like to reveal more than one card please? We do not need to be drip fed every card.
We finally have the technology!
(for targeting cards in your hand)

Virtual Boy 1 looks too intense for me.

I am officially a Stardew Valley player now.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Even if you don't celebrate the holiday, I hope you have a great day today.
Why is this article going up on Tuesday instead of Sunday? Because the timeline for the series has also been muddled up a bit.
Do you not see these buttons on your comments?
The one that looks like a pencil is the edit button. Hopefully you see it.

People truly just were different back then.

Let it be known that I have officially coined the term "spiritual sibling" in our team's staff chat.
