Aifos Tonight—a weekly general gaming thread (4)
Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from Aifos Tonight! This week I went to the deepest reaches of Hallownest to find out guest star! That’s right, today we have the Knight himself! Very exciting!
[b]An interview with The Knight (Hollow Knight)[/b]
[spoiler]So, Knight, first thing’s first! Can I call you Li’l Ghost?
Knight: “...”
Wonderful! So tell us a little bit about yourself. What are some of your hobbies?
Knight: “...”
Really? You? I never would’ve guessed! When did you start?
Knight: “...”
That long ago? You must be a pro by now!
Knight: “...”
I would hope so! So, how’s your family been? Your dad staying out of trouble?
Knight: “...”
Oh.. I’m sorry to hear that. What about your mother, is she good?
Knight: “...”
A run of bad luck for the whole crew, huh? What about your sister?
Knight: “...”
[i]Kidnapped!?[/i] Omigosh we have to go-
Knight: “...”
Huh? Well, I guess you’re right, but..
Knight: “...”
Her own game!? That’s amazing, Li’l Ghost!
Knight: “...”
You’re right, you’re right. She’ll be fine. Oh! And it looks like we’re out of time! Let’s move on to the next segment![/spoiler]
Such a way with words, that one. Now, I hate to be a downer, but I’ve got a sad story for you all.
[b]Storytime with Aifos![/b]
The tale of Bubba (Bioshock 2)
[spoiler]In Bioshock 2 you can get a Plasmid that lets you control security drones. At its maximum level, it even lets you summon them at will, for a large amount of EVE. When you do this, they also come with names.
One security drone I got once was named Bubba. Bubba and I were the best of friends, he was with me from the very beginning of the level, and I was getting close to the boss.
We had a particularly nasty encounter with a group of splicers, and Bubba, he.. He disappeared. I searched everywhere for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
Heartbroken, and filled with rage, I rushed to the boss, and avenged Bubba by killing him and his entourage.
And then a miracle happened! Bubba was alive! As happy as could be, I went to finish the level.. And then, my happiness was ripped away, as the entire level began to flood. I yelled for Bubba to run, to escape through a security drone chute, but he didn’t listen! He stayed with me to the end.
I could survive underwater. But he couldn’t. ;-;[/spoiler]
*wipes tear*
Oh, I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. *sniff* Let’s.. Let’s move on.
[b]An Eye(fos) to the Future[/b]
Hollow Knight: Silksong
[spoiler]Hollow Knight is, in my opinion, the best Metroidvania to ever exist.. At least out of the ones I played. It’s not exactly super innovative, but it knows what it’s trying to do, and it does it nearly flawlessly.
And, with three free DLC, that each added plenty of new content, you can imagine my hype for the promised 4th DLC, which would be much bigger, as it would actually cost money.
But, Team Cherry (never one to go halfway) decided “Forget the DLC, let’s make it a full blown sequel!”.
And that’s when they announced Silksong, the sequel to Hollow Knight! And if Hollow Knight is Dark Souls, Silksong is Bloodborne, with an much faster, and more acrobatic take on the formula.
If it’s even half as good as Hollow Knight, there’s my game of the year![/spoiler]
*squeals* Aah, I’m so-
I mean.. How exciting. It looks phenomenal!
But, I suppose it’s time to wrap up! But mot before;
[b]The Segment That Games That Are Really Great Get Mentioned And You Should Try Them[/b]
Armed with Wings
[spoiler]Okay, maybe I’m cheating with this one. And, heck, it’s been so long since I played these games that maybe they’re actually crap, and I’m simply blinded by nostalgia.
With that being said, AwW are a series of flash games that you can play on the internet! There are actually five games here, not one!
Armed with Wings
Armed with Wings 2
Armed with Wings: Red Moon
Armed with Wings 3
Armed with Wings: Culmination
Admittedly, I didn’t play Red Moon, and the first one was kinda bad, but 2, 3 and Culmination were all great platforming games, that I absolutely loved as a kid!
The protagonist is different in all of the games (except 1 & Culmination), but all connect to form an overarching narrative. It primarily tells the story of the tyrant Vandheere Lorde, and his fall from power ay the hands of the first game’s protagonist.
And, so nobody can say I’m cheating by saying a flash game, the newest Armed with Wings, Armed with Wings: Rearmed, is on Steam! I haven’t played it, though, but I do know it’s a remake of the first game, making it better!
Despite being free flash games, if Sun Studios bundled them all up, and threw them on console, I’d probably be willing to pay $30 for ‘em![/spoiler]
Well, time to wrap up! Got any good gaming stories? Games you’re looking forward to? Any game recommendations?
In any case, this is your place to talk about anything gaming!
But that’s all for now folks! Jambuhbye!

Got another story for y’all. (Or maybe I should just save this for next week, but whatever) So, I was playing Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked. For those unaware, Don’t Starve is a survival game, and the Shipwrecked expansion takes place on a group of islands you can sail between. Now, I explore the sea, looking for a good island, and after a lot of exploring I find one. Two jungles, lots of Crabbit dens, the works. So I set up camp, and go to get some wood. I chop down a jungle tree, and a snake falls out of the branches, but not just any snake, a poison snake! I get greedy with one of my attacks, and it bites me, inflicting me with poison! Now, I’m still new to Shipwrecked, so I’m not quite sure how to make an antivenom, so instead I tried to keep my health up until it wore off. I had a good fight, healing salves, butterfly wings, the usual healing stuff, but I couldn’t keep it up, and I wound up dying from poison. Luckily, though, I had found a resurrection altar on an island I passed a while back, so I woke up there. My plan, then, was simple; make a raft, and get back to camp. All I needed was some flint, so I could make an axe, and get some wood! Only, I had already visited this island, and, well, I took all the flint. Without an axe, I had no way of getting home, so I needed to try and survive here. But, y’know, this island wasn’t so bad. Lots of berry bushes & limpet rocks (food sources), and Pigmen were hangin’ around, too. So, I had a new goal; survive. I fed some of the pigs, and they started following me around. The ghost of my dead twin sister Abigail was there, too, and honestly, it seemed like I had a good chance of survival. At least for a while. Then night fell. As I crafted a torch, I realized; it was a full moon. I heard a howl. My three piggy companions transformed into monstrous Werepigs, and rushed me! Panicking, I smacked one with my torch, sending it into a frenzy as it went ablaze, as Abigail successfully slew one of the others. The one that was burning rushed me again, but Abigail flew in for another kill. The last one was distracted, but we didn’t have room for mercy. I had no armor, they could rip me apart, easily. So we slew him without hesitation. Alone again, at daybreak, I realized there was one part of the island I hadn’t checked. A swamp to the Southeast. I had avoided it for a reason, it was much more likely to be my grave than hold any flint.. But there was nothing for me here anymore anyway. With Abigail by my side, I walked into the swamp, looking for flint.. And never walked out.
