Comment: Asian children training to become the Four Fiends? That dance is certainly evil enough to qualify.

So...there's a new Tri-Ace thing, that is vaguely Valkyrie Profile ish. Except with a dude main character so not as cool.

For a game that is supposed to be a romp through a hell dimension (right Niu?), this looks oddly...cheery. I know Niu said it was colorful, but I definitely was not expecting this. I also wasn't expecting much from the character models because they are Japanese High School Students, which generally is pretty limiting.

Niu said that instead of sending characters to Valhalla, you send them back to Japan to escape the hell dimension.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #705 on:** August 07, 2015, 02:44:00 AM »

That is hardly escaping the Hell Dimension at all.

One of my friends IRL helped develop this game for an Indie Game Maker contest. If anyone could throw him a vote to help them win it would be great. I'm going to try out the game whenever I have the chance. :p It only takes like five seconds to make an account.

So, this Canadian federal election, vote for the candidate that will fist bump aliens, slay dragons, and stand on guard for thee with his laser eye beam.

Is that robot supposed to be Stephen Harper because the answer to that question should be yes

Vice's super timely news report on a thing from a decade ago. A couple of the people in this article wrote about their experiences with this bunch of crazies on Something Awful a few years ago but I'd never seen photos of the place before.

http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/15/technology/amazon-new-york-times/index.html Brief article on working conditions in Amazon. I've known a few people who work for the company and they all have told me similar horror stories.

"Because of yearly culling of low-performers, employees reportedly learn to make informal pacts to collectively leave negative critiques of certain coworkers and positive feedback of each other."

So basically Amazon = Vault 11.

Link to the actual article at least if you're gonna do it. It's a doozy.

Konami is setting up a trap for ideas for their next pachinko game. Suikoden is on the list. Don't you want to see Suikoden pachinko?

I kinda assume that's what this is all about too but the thrust of the questions about gameplay and such doesn't really follow that. Also it's in English and why would Konami care what we think if they're doing something exclusve to Japan?

Nah, it's probably iphone games.

Apparently this guy keeps getting images of him stolen and repurposed because he comes up when folks search "radnom guy" on Google. Definition of irony.

Tales of Game's is 1,5 years behind their estimated release date of Barkley 2 Gaiden for late 2013.

So they release this?

Reddit, etc. Still, I'm finding the discussion fairly interesting and a really, really, really compelling argument for the horrifying effectiveness of Skinner Box design.

Grefter · « **Reply #724 on:** August 26, 2015, 10:24:00 PM »

Yep. Game is straight up still at the best of its design and balance it has ever been.

In that thread watch people complain about having to log in every day to do Garrisons that take 30 minutes of your time. Now know that to do the "optimal" equivalent back in the peak of subscribers (the final raid of Wrath of the Liche King) you had to do a group dungeon every single day and do the same Raid in 10 man and 25 man modes.

This was right after the patch where you had to do the same thing for Dungeons but do the same raid in 19 and 25 man on both Normal and Heroic difficulty AND do the previous tier dungeon 25 man for RNG chances at legendary for your healers.

G.R.I.N.D.
