@MaccaMUFC I agree with you, but those corporate reputations seem to matter a lot. And EVO themselves were doing almost all of the work to make this event happen, so once one company pulls support with an excuse like 'in honor of the victims' or the like, as good as that sentiment is the other companies will follow. Then suddenly the event is done. Now if each had poured money into it, maybe it would continue in some fashion.
The Tetris Effect weekend ritual is all my constrained 45 minutes of freedom can afford. So many avatars unlocked in a short time...right now I'm a space penguin!
@ShogunRok and those 150k sales reinforce that business model. Never mind that making a balanced overall roster takes time to do properly, and ftg are their forte...here we are.
These random giveaways, for the holiday season no less, just make me salty. Why not let everyone enjoy it? Last year's was great too and most of us missed out. These are not collectible, so scarcity doesn't matter. So much salty humbug, Sony.
I recently finished Celeste, and have developed a taste for pain. So am now revisiting The End is Nigh. Quite an intricate design for how simple the controls are. Very nice music too.
I abandoned network television for on-demand internet video, and I just might do the same to PS+ for PSNow once my subscription lapses. Giving an entire month's PS+ offerings a miss feels terrible, while I'm sure to find something, possibly a surprising nugget, among Now's growing list.
I'll take the MH flag one for now. It's kind of common for games to have wallpapers on their individual sites. Moss has really nice ones for Raiden 3 and 4 for example.
Suzy Cube on PC, an easygoing 3D Mario-alike. Has me hooked, anyway. Probably a bit of MTGA, a level or two of Bomb Chicken and another session about conquering my fear of trees in Dirt Rally.
While waiting for Ni No Kuni 2 razzle dazzle ultimate forever edition to download, I started Daggerhood. Maybe I'll take a crack at sr for this one, it's pretty solid overall. And a nice visible timer {heart*heart}
More backlog chuffery: Shiren the Wanderer (the vita one); Shadow Tower; TxK; and some speedrun practice with Maldita Castilla EX and Mr Driller G, then a nap I think.

Re: Random: The Last of Us 2 Partners with Indian Pale Ale for Promotional Six-Pack
If I see some at my local grocer, I'll try it. Otherwise not going to reach out for this one. And whoa an IPA taste flashback just now.

Re: Evo 2020 Cancelled Due to Coronavirus, Online Event Planned Instead
If sumo can carry on without crowds, why not evo? Online matches...we'll see who cries about lag first.

Re: Granblue Fantasy Versus Finally Gets a Western Release Date in March 2020
This is the first time I've been tempted to get the $99 version.
Re: Atelier Dusk Trilogy Deluxe Pack - New Year, Same Old Alchemists
Thank you so much for covering these games. I always conflate their names, and these reviews are so helpful.

If they keep making quality games, then I'll keep buying them.

Re: US PlayStation Store Holiday Sale Boasts Over 1,500 PS4 Discounts
So far I found the free 1998 costumes for Leon and Claire, how did I miss that?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 302
Donkey Kong...on Game Boy...from 1994. It's very good.

Fingers crossed for player feedback getting into a patch and the PC version.

Finally, I can give Tigger's' Hunny Hunt a rest.
Re: Poll: Is PS Now's Price Drop Tempting You to Subscribe?

Re: Talking Point: What Free October 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
@michaelf @Westernwolf4 Casting my lot with you both, Vampyre or Evil Within 2 would be nice. Or at least something Halloween-ey for goodness sake.
Re: Did You Know There Are Official PlayStation Wallpapers?
I'll take the MH flag one for now. It's kind of common for games to have wallpapers on their individual sites. Moss has really nice ones for Raiden 3 and 4 for example.
Re: Talking Point: What Free September 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
One of these months we'll get Vampyre or Nier, right? The last Guardian seems like an eventuality too.

Blasted phone ga...whaa?! PS4?! Count me very interested.
Re: Kill la Kill - IF Demo Is Playable Now on PS4
I really like those red sparkle-flashes.
Re: Cybarian: The Time Traveling Warrior Looks Like an Entertaining Action Romp on PS4 and Vita
Trophies aside, Ratalaika is becoming one of my favorite publishers. Lots of variety in games and general quality level.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night's Launch Trailer Is Gloriously Ludicrous
It's here, it's here! Whee! Hurrah!
It's waiting in my cart until the review.
Re: E3 2019: Etherborn Turns Your World Upside-Down on PS4 Next Month
These kind of Marble it Up! stages are pretty frustrating...we'll have to see about this game. On the radar for sure though.
Re: Indie Bin: Slay the Spire, Bomb Chicken, Giga Wrecker ALT
Much appreciated feature, this. Bomb chicken looks especially scrumptious.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 274
I just stumbled across Kao the Kangaroo round 2 on Steam for free?! So, I guess that's this weekend for me, done.
Re: Nioh 2 Gameplay Footage Is Bloody and Impressive

Tread lightly Ataribox.
Re: Talking Point: What Free June 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
@orionreplay That sounds to me like a safe bet one of these months.
Again, I'll vote for something space related. Maybe Elite or the other one...Everspace?
Re: Rise of the Giant DLC for Dead Cells Has Arrived on PS4, and It's Totally Free

Grandia 2 on pc, wow great writing. For once I actually want to talk to all of the townspeople.

Re: Official PS Plus May 2019 Videos Battered by Dislikes and Comments Section Outrage
Highs and lows like a wave; CoD and The Witness were the crest, these are the trough. All bangers all the time would spoil us, no?
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Release Date Trailer Shows Off Improved Art Style
Next month?! Wheee!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 269
While waiting for Ni No Kuni 2 razzle dazzle ultimate forever edition to download, I started Daggerhood. Maybe I'll take a crack at sr for this one, it's pretty solid overall. And a nice visible timer {heart*heart}
Re: Talking Point: What Free May 2019 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
I predict something spacey and/or Darksiders 3.
Re: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice's 1.03 Patch Makes the Game Slightly Easier
Bravo to control-remap bug fix.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Surprise PS5 Reveal Was a Stroke of Genius
Bravo to the load times; fancy graphics seem nice; indifferent to the audio improvements.
