Nintendo WFC being discontinued soon. Play your last matches of online Brawl, Mario Kart, or Pokemon on the Wii or DS while you still can.

It makes me a bit depressed, actually. How I wish that my Wii had more space to save my online matches with my friends ;-;

Starting my weekly gaming stream tonight. Apparently people love watching me get scared like a bitch so my girlfriend has offered to control Slenderman while I try to play Stop It, Slender. Also I was recommended a game called prop hunt which I think is for Gmod so it looks like it's gonna be a gmod night. I'm not sure when exactly I will start, probably some time after we have dinner.

Follow http://www.twitch.tv/mechtiger if you wanna be notified. You can also join #hyunsdojo on IRC, there's a bot that automatically announces when people start streaming.

EDIT: Starting now! Just playing some content from Dojo's YouTube while I get shit set up with my girlfriend.

The Elder Scrolls Online Beta ended earlier today. It's a shame, really. I actually wanted to get out of Morrowind and into Skyrim and possibly Black Marsh before the beta ended...
Ah well, looks like I'm gonna have to subscribe to the game once it comes out. It's just so much fun to clear dungeons and fight bosses with other people.
Got a lot of screenshots, though.

Prophunt exists in many Source games because it's a source mod. TF2 and Counter Strike: GO have them. Dunno about other games.

I know everyone's pretty sick of Flappy Bird at this point, but I found 2 more that are pretty cool to play:

the first is Flapbound, a mashup with Earthbound where imo, the genre itself is beginning to evolve into derivatives instead of outright cloning. Flapbound's interface is just like Earthbound, down to the notifiers on the bottom of the screen. There's also potential to unlock more levels, Earthbound-y weirdness like giant pencils and erasers, and tongue-in-cheek messages when you play it. It's even got OST from the game.

aaand the second is Hey you! A flappy bird lament. Unlike previous clones, this isn't really a clone as much as it is a narrative-driven art game made in the likeness of Flappy Bird. You play as Dong Nguyen, as he tries to get to bed every night. The game is actually 5 minutes long and has an ending, and chronicles Dong's Twitter Feed from the time he set up the game, till the last moments when he took it off the market.

It's really kinda sad, when you see those tweets cos it feels like you're going through what he's going through. If anyone has any burning hatred or critical opinion on the guy, then this game should put things in his perspective. I would also play it for the really awesome soundtrack that plays while you play. The song itself is also composed of the tweets and will try to vilify Dong at every turn.

If you just wanna watch an LP (and see the tweets without having to concentrate on the gameplay) there are a few:

The music is also free to listen and downloadable for a price I think at the creator's bandcamp:

Have any of you guy's heard of/played 'One Finger Death Punch' which came out recently? Makes me think of the animations by RhanC777. Just watched the WTF video by Totalbiscuit which was very positive.
It's strange reading the comments where everyone's being nostalgic about stick animations from over a decade ago. Makes me wonder what they'd make of them now.

Cruel - Sort of. It looks really interesting but isn't it multiplayer only (my internets to pants for those)

Wow, so much awesomeness with those combos, zoom in finisher and also the visual effects! Like what he said, "Hell yeah" for this one. Pretty similar with Tap Tap Revenge series where you should tap buttons within exact moment to complete each level and "beat the music" (when button mashing, you die).
Such an honor when seeing some kind of stick fighting game has received positive comments.

My brothers knew that news since moooonths ago (they're such a PvZ maniac).
Yet I'm really excited with that one, especially the trailer's really boss! Heck, even both unarmed plants and zombies could shoot too. Probably similar with Team Fortress or Call of Duty, but with PvZ version.
Least they will release the Windows version on later date. Guess I'll try to finish PvZ 2 first before getting it.

Bought South Park The Stick of Truth yesterday. And it's awesome, worth the money.
