Aifos Tonight—A weekly general gaming thread (5)

Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from Aifos Tonight! This episode was sponsored by the Haltmann Works Company, and they even lent us a special guest interview with the secretary/military general of the company; Susie! [b]An interview with Susanna Patrya Haltmann[/b] [spoiler]Susie: “Thank you, Aifos, it’s wonderful to be here.” And it’s wonderful to have you. So, what can you tell us about your company? Susie: “The goal of HWC is simple. Prosperity! We hope to help restore New Halcandra to its former glory, by using the resource rich planets in our system to fuel our economy.” What about the other planets? Susie: “I’m glad you asked! Our planetary mechanization initiative, or “PMI” will convert the entire planet into one gigantic machine, so we can channel its resources most efficiently. While the initial mechanization must be carried out by our flagship, the Access Ark, any operations afterwards, including exportation of resources, will be handled by a smaller, specialized fleet.” But, what about the people on the planets? Susie: “Great question. In the event of savage uprisings, we have special army mechs called “Robobot Armors”. Our Robobot Armors can match the traits of whoever is piloting them, and with our mechanized infantry they become stone cold killing machines!” Wait, that’s not right, Susie, you can’t- Susie: “And the next planet on our list is this one!” Wha-whaat!? Papika! Stop her! Papika: “Papikannons activate!” Susie: “Calling in a mech suit! Standby for drill fall!”[/spoiler] . . . *crash* *explosion* Ahem! Um.. I’m sure that’s nothing! Let’s- *sounds of energy guns firing* Let’s move on! [b]The Sound of OSTs[/b] [url=https://youtu.be/i0569Wt-cZ0]Calling[/url], The World Ends With You [spoiler]Calling is one of the many songs in TWEWY, which can play- Well, really at any time. While not my favorite song on the soundtrack, I think it perfectly embodies the feel of the game & its music. I can’t say too much about the original, but Final Mix is pretty fresh, and I’d definitely give it a shot![/spoiler] Well, seems like that ruckus has calmed down. Let’s mov- *glass shatters as Papika tackles Susie’s mech out the window* No! My larger than need be window overlooking a beautiful nighttime city backdrop! . . . *sigh* Let’s move on. [b]An Eye(fos) to the Future[/b] Team Sonic Racing [spoiler]While not as well loved as Mario Kart Sumo’s Sonic racing games have always made a note to have a unique twist on the kart racing formula. Well.. Okay, maybe not the first one. In their upcoming newest entry, Team Sonic Racing, this is coming in the form or racing not as 1v1v1v1 (etc.) but 3v3v3v3. It looks like an absolute blast to play, though I am still upset Jet, Wave, and Storm aren’t in here.. This game seems right up their alley.[/spoiler] Alright, and now for our final segment! Give Aifos money to fix the window! Kidding! [b]That Segment About Games That You Should Maybe Try One Day Because Aifos Thinks They’re Pretty Cool[/b] Halo: Combat Evolved [spoiler]Now I know what you’re thinking, this is a higher profile game than I usually say. But, I know Bop hasn’t played this one. So ha! In your face, Bop![/spoiler] How about you? Got any game recommendations? What’re ya excited for? Cool OSTs? Whatever the case, that’s all for now folks! Jambuhbye!

  • [quote]Cool OSTs[/quote] The Outlast series is... a strange one for me. While I usually reserve terms like "masterpiece" and "incredible" for games I would rate 9 or 10 out of 10, I always find myself speaking just as passionately about Outlast and Outlast 2, which are, from any objective standpoint, 7/10 games. Good, no doubt, but very flawed. Despite that, I always find myself remembering my experiences with the two games. I found both of them terrifying, and hostile, but fascinating all the same. And that was, in large part, due to Samuel Laflamme's work on the games' soundtrack. I generally prefer that horror experiences use music in a subtle way, but something about Outlast's intense strings blew my mind. And the music, combined with the sound effects, really added to my respect of the series. Whistleblower was still terrible though. Anyway, here are my favourites: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VXJbz6rNWn8 Outlast - Someone Playing Piano http://youtube.com/watch?v=jPE73zebjY8 Outlast - End Credits http://youtube.com/watch?v=8B9JAkZlYfw Outlast 2 - Menu Theme
