Aifos Tonight—A weekly general gaming post (2)

Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from Aifos Tonight! *crowd cheers* As you all know, I’m a big fan of jedi. Their fancy laser swords, and weird rock moving powers, it’s all pretty cool! So, for this week on Aifos Tonight, I decided to bring in a jedi as our guest! Introducing Starkiller! *crowd cheers! [b][u]An interview with Galen “Starkiller” Marek.[/u][/b] [spoiler]Starkiller: “Thanks, Aifos, I’m glad to be here.” And we’re glad to have you, Starkiller. I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to jump straight to the elephant in the room. You used to be a sith assassin that hunted down jedi, correct? Starkiller: “Yes. I worked for Darth Vader.” *crowd mumbles* Wow, Lord Vader himself? That’s quite the rank! You must be pretty skilled at fighting jedi then? Starkiller: “Never met one I couldn’t beat.” Impressive. I think I know one! Ever heard of Rey? I hear taking down Starkillers is her forté! *audience laughs* Starkiller: “I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but hey, maybe we can spar sometime.” I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. As long as you don’t blow up the entire republic anyway! *audience laughs* Starkiller: “What are they lauging at?” And you’d better be careful you don’t fall apart while you’re fighting! *audience laughs* Starkiller: “Like emotionally, or..” *audience laughs* Starkiller: “Alright, ENOUGH! What are they all laughing at, these jokes of yours don’t even make any sense!” Calm down, Starkiller! It’s just the First Order—oh, er, these guys who are basically the empire build a weapon called a Starkiller Base. Starkiller: “What!?” Yeah, imagine the Death Star, but even bigger! Don’t worry, though, Rey will- *glass shattering* Oh no! My larger than I’ll ever need window, overlooking a beautiful nighttime city backdrop! Starkiller why would you—GALEN! *Starkiller jumps out the window* *A few moments later, the Rogue Shadow flies upwards into view, Starkiller standing on its back* Starkiller: “Juno, I know our next mission!” Juno: “Yeah, that’s bat I assumed when you dramatically jumped out the window onto the back of the ship. Where are we headed?” Starkiller: “The empire’s building another super weapon, this one even bigger and more dangerous than the Death Star! I don’t know where it is, but I’ve got a lead! A jedi named Rey!” Juno: “Seems no matter where we go we’re hunting jedi. Alright, let’s get moving.” Wait, who’s gonna pay for my win- *Rogue Shadow takes off* -dow...[/spoiler] Oh geeze, that’ll be expensive.. Um, nevermind that, let’s move on! [b][u]An Eye(fos) on the Future![/u][/b] Indivisible [spoiler]Indivisible is an upcoming turn based RPG being made by Lab Zero, the developers behind Skullgirls. The fighting system won’t be your standard turn based system, though. It uses a combo system similar to a fighting game, revolving around chaining attacks between your party together. I’ve never played it, but I’ve heard it might be like a game called Valkyrie Profiles. The overworld will bea platformer. While I’m not 100% sure, it almost looks like a Metroidvania! It looks really great![/spoiler] Omigosh I’m so hyped! Aah! I mean.. *ahem* Doesn’t that game sound just lovely? I’ll keep y’all updated on it! Moving on! [b][u]The Sound of OSTs[/u][/b] [url=https://youtu.be/R2M-_utkfZg]Six’s Theme (Part 2)[/url]-Little Nightmares [spoiler]This delightfully creepy song plays during the ending sequence of Little Nightmares, a dark whimsy horror game developed by Tarsier Studios. Actual discussions of the ending aside, this song is what made it awesome! The game is just as delightfully creepy as the song, and I’d definitely recommend it! (Credits to Ghostmime & Bopsheezi for getting this song in my head again)[/spoiler] What a beautiful song. Totally has not ever given me nightmares! Not even little ones! And I have definitely never had trouble going to sleep because it’s been stuck in my head, and freaked me out! Never! Let’s.. Let’s move on to our final segment! [b][u]The Name Change I Requested For That Segment Where I Tell You About Cool Games You Should Try![/u][/b] Sheesh, that titles even worse! Ugh, anyway. Yar’s Revenge (2011) [spoiler]Back on the Atari, there was a game called Yar’s Revenge. You played as a blotch of pixels who shot other blotches of pixels with pixels. Each pixel that hit a pixel destroyed it, letting you get closer, and once you were close enough you could destroy all the pixels. How that translated into a race of fly people fighting an intergalactic war, don’t ask me. But back in 2011 we got a version of this game that did make sense! Rather than a fly person, they made the protagonist Yar a four armed, but otherwise human looking woman, who flew around on a mech suit, using her wide variety of weapons to shoot down opponents, including dual pistols, a missile launcher, and a rail gun. It was on on rail shooter, so Yar would fly around herself while you focused on dodging and shooting. It wasn’t that long, but was a load of fun, and for me at least, loads of replayability! Sadly, though, it’s not current gen. If I remember, its price was $10-$15.[/spoiler] Now that game brings back some memories! Hopefully it becomes backwards compatible! But unfortunately, we’re out of time! So that’s all for now, folks! Jambuhbye!

  • To be honest, I feel like I'm losing my mind.. That's another story. Black Desert.[spoiler]I've been playing quite a bit of Black Desert. It's a mmo type thing, not really sure what to call it. The combat is mediocre as fudge. Half of my time spent is trying to do as many quests as possible but with no way to check what quests I have done because there are a ton, continuing certain quest lines become the problem because you need to run everywhere looking for the 1 quest you missed and even then they may not exists because the xbox version is wayyyy behind PC. Not to mention how much of your time it takes getting from place to place because there are no quick teleport s and what not.[/spoiler] It's such, such simple but I just can't find myself to stop playing. Along with Warframe and Mobius: Final fantasy. Warframe I love for the combat and testing out how powerful I can make weapons in conjunction with coming up with different load outs for my Warframes. Also there is a link between Warframe and black desert, I have a group of friends and I tend to follow their lead. Though I have gone a different path in playing desert. That's the simplest way I can put it. Mobius: Final fantasy[spoiler]Then there is Mobius: Final Fantasy. A game in which I started playing on my phone wayyy far back and learned it was save file linked for steam and mobile and because my laptop could actually play it, I became hooked. Steam records over 4k + hours. That's also because I found this really cool group and we teamed up and took out turns of bosses. While getting to know them all and talk about different things.[/spoiler] So now it's come to this presant time and .. AND I... GAHHHH! Don't know what to do ! I cringe a liltle as I type this and have taken somewhat big breaks from mobius and warframe as I am focusing my time most on black desert. I just feel lost and don't know what to really do. It's all really backwards thinking as I know the truth about gaming is just about having fun but I... I don't know. Everything I want to do and play is smeared in grind. Grind and even more grind. I guess .. That's why I feel like I'm losing my mind. Sorry for the .. Mostly unhappy read of my currant thoughts.
