UPDATE: My roommate has agreed to allow me to offer the badges + extras (VIP check-in, free food during MAGFest, extra access, etc.) and the atrium hotel room spots individually at this point. If you are interested, please inform me with what you are interested in and how much you are willing to offer at your earliest convenience.

I think my Pizza Hut Demo Disc is still around somewhere as well. And I enjoyed both the original MediEvil games as well. I'm glad to hear about the remaster/remake, but I hope it proves popular enough to get Sir Dan back for a new game (especially since his cameo in Shovel Knight was shot down).
EDIT: It would appear a certain someone is also excited (disregard the video's title, the part we care about is stand-alone at the start of the episode).

Ogogodu, the spam-caster. I do wonder what his overall role in the story shall be. Obviously, tossing these at enemies. I mean, those things CAN really hurt.

Siliconera's article isn't all that different from most of those already listed.

Cool, someone else posted this outside the Discord. I was gonna wait for the full interview he mentioned to post about it on the forums, but at least now there's a pre-prepared thread for it! And he IS the Happy Console Gamer, purifyweirdshard . I think he gets a special dispensation for internet positivity.

A little over a year ago, I posted about some Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival tickets a friend had for sale. Well, I'm back to sell off another pair of tickets...but this time, there's a bit more involved.
At MAGFest 2017, my friend and I pooled our resources to pay for a VIP All Access package to the upcoming event at the Child's Play Charity Auction. We won the auction and thus got four specialty tickets to the MAGFest due up the first weekend of this coming January. I even managed to find a potential pair to take the remaining two spots. Unfortunately, those two have had to beg off. Fortunately, this means all of YOU now have a chance!
This package includes a badge for entry to MAGFest, a hotel room at the Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center where the festival is taking place, VIP check-in as soon as you arrive, access to free food provided by MAGFest for the entirety of the show, and behind-the-scenes access/touring for the show itself. All you need to pay for beyond this are any extras you might want and, of course, actually GETTING to National Harbor to enjoy the festival from January 4th through the 7th (the hotel room was asked to be booked from the 3rd to the 8th, so if you want to arrive a little earlier or leave a little later, you'll be able to).
Now, this full package is not cheap. For each of the two remaining badges we have, we're asking $800, exactly a fourth of the final auction bid. I'm not looking to get into a bidding war, so I'm going to say this is mostly first come, first served. If you pay the requested amount immediately, you're in. Please note that the included room will be a 2-bed hotel room with four occupants, so if you have someone else to bring along, that would likely be best. Also, please note we're NOT looking for a room party; we intend for this to be a place we can go to rest/relax/sleep/etc., so if that's not what you're planning to do, you might want to look elsewhere.
MAGFest should be sending out email links for hotel reservations shortly. You can beat the rush of both the early birds and the full release by getting everything set up with me. Once payment is received, the link to our group can be sent to you so you can enter your information immediately and be assured everything is ready for you at MAGFest - you just need to get there! Also note, you will need/want to transfer any badge you already have to another to utilize these ones specifically (and these are basic badges by default, so if you want extras, you will need to add those on through said link). Feel free to contact me here and I will get back to you as soon as possible...and to any others who may be attending MAGFest 2018 own their own, I hope to see you there!

Telltale Games and Myst are strictly adventure. "Strictly" is pushing it if you grew up in the heyday of the great LucasArts vs. Sierra Golden Age. Myst is arguably the progenitor of what are today often called walking simulators and typically is considered a first-person puzzle adventure while Telltale games are much more narrative adventures, even in the case of continuations of more classic point-and-click series like Tales of Monkey Island or Sam & Max. The Wikipedia article on the genre is actually a fairly good synopsis of the history and subdivisions of the genre. And yes, I am VERY much a fan.

I STILL can't take those trees seriously. One of several reasons I agree with IGA that leaving the Saturn-exclusive stuff out was the better choice for DXC's port.

Hmmmmmm...I wonder if ArtPlay/Fangamer/505/somebody could contract this artist to make something specific for Bloodstained.
I'm not sure the typical rose pattern would work in a monochromatic medium...maybe the swordwhip instead?

Why aren't those ducks in their proper habitat of a graveyard?
Heh-heh-heh.
Seriously though, I'd have been rather surprised if Bloodstained DIDN'T put in an appearance. Unless Konami still has enough clout to go all sour grapes and get it barred, that is.
Good luck to anyone who attends and gets a shot at that Switch.

Eyep, purifyweirdshard has it right. Sonia was removed from continuity while Christopher was kept as he could be set in the 16th century without upsetting things. Amusingly, both Christopher and Trevor's first games were attempts to cover a legendary battle between Dracula and an ancestor of Simon mentioned in the earlier (produced) games. The two teams developed their titles separately and didn't realize they were, in effect, both doing the same thing. IGA's timeline effectively fixed that "issue."

... if Grandpa Trevors journey lasts more than one season..... You're missing a LOT of Greats in advance of "Grandpa" there, Rick. My best minimum estimate? Trevor, 3 generations, Christopher, Soleiyu, 3 generations, Simon, unnamed, Juste, unnamed, you. So, Trevor is your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. He really is great, isn't he? <insert rimshot here>

Keep in mind that Yamane may be the composer most associated with Igarashi's tenure on Castlevania, but she's hardly the only gifted composer who's ever had a significant presence in the series. Also, Noisycroak has been involved with Castlevania music and working with IGA before now - Yasushi Asada of the group was the primary composer/arranger for Castlevania Judgment, a game that, not without significant issues, had a pretty good score in my opinion. Honestly, since they're a sound production company, Yamane may still be doing the bulk of the composing duties in a musical sense while Noisycroak serves a a sort of amanuensis, producing the programmed music that is composed elsewhere for the game.
Basically, all I'm saying is don't worry TOO much just yet, but certainly getting some clarity on the overall musical/compositional structure of things should be high on the list for upcoming details from ArtPlay/505/whomever can explain things.
