Anybody still playing Binding of Isaac?

I have been playing a lot of Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ on my Switch. Is anybody else still playing this? I finally beat it once, but I feel it was the luck of the draw on items rather than my skills. Does anybody have any good play tips?

Question

So, I found Spright on google images and I have been using him for my profile picture for my Google account, Steam, Discord, etc. I was wondering if this was alright since I do not make any profit from this?

Destiny 2 PC Next Month

Is anybody planning on picking up destiny 2 for the pc next month? I may pick it up if CG is going to spin up a team.

Today at 12pm pacific, IGN and the Video Game History Foundation are teaming up for a 5 hour stream of them playing "a slew of rare things, including canceled games, unreleased consoles, forgotten preview builds, and much more." This is also a fundraising event for VGHF which looks like it perserves old games and consoles. I don't know much about the charity, but the event seems pretty cool. I will be checking it out.

Demoed the M2 console. This stream has been pretty cool.

I wish my company didn't block IGN! I'm not able to watch, but maybe I'll catch a saved version of the stream another time.

Wait, I can't math. I missed it by quite a bit.

It focuses a lot on the NES, but they explain why at a point in the video.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/28/2017 at 03:40am

Sweet! I'll peek at this later. Thanks for sharing!

AdamPFarnsworth wrote on 02/28/2017 at 07:57pm

I'm home sick today and am watching this now. It's so cool!

Drac's Night Out with the Reebok Pump was great! I can't believe someone thought of marketing the pump with Dracula.

Windows App Launcher, Macros: Suggestions?

In the hopes of making my workstation more efficient, I've been experimenting with different application launchers. When I was on the Mac, I was using a program called DragThing, and I loved it. Now that I'm on Windows, I've found a couple that work well enough, but nothing that I really loved. Then I stumbled on Launchy, which is similar to Spotlight on the Mac: A pop-up search field that lets you search for and launch the application your looking for, without the need for mouse clicking. I never gave this option much thought, until I started using it. Now I find it highly useful, to the point that I can't imagine having never used it.

As great as this is, now I'm... Read All

For me, Ark is still my GotY. But, it's over a year old now. So, I'd like to nominate Doom for Triple A GotY. I only spent 45 hours playing, but I love it. Great soundtrack, great fun! I think for Indie GotY, I'd like to nominate No Man's Sky. The Foundation Update deserves Update of the Year, too. NMS took a beating this year and came back shining (w/ the Foundation Update).

However, Far Harbor (Fallout 4's DLC) deserves an Update of the Year nomination, too.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 12/29/2016 at 05:41am

Awesome, those make sense to go on the list.

My noms:

Indie Games:

Punch Club
That Dragon Cancer
Stardew Valley
Hyperlight Drifter
Starbound
The Witness

Triple A

Mighty No. 9
Dishonored 2
Doom
Overwatch

Update of the Year

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim — Special Edition
Hearthstone - Whispers of the Old Gods
BioShock: The Collection

Mobile

Super Mario Run
Crypt of the Necrodancer Pocket

Travis Admin wrote on 12/29/2016 at 05:48am

Just to clarify-- Update of the Year can include DLC correct? It may be prudent/helpful to call it Update/DLC of the Year.

How do Early Access games work for this? Ark was up for a nomination in 2015 but it hasn't even been released yet. At one point the CG awards were about our favorite things we played this year, which doesn't require release dates to be within the year. That said, that would allow Pong to get it.

At any rate, here are my nominations. I haven't played all of these but they all seem like they should get a nod in the nominations.

AAA: Doom, Skyrim SE, Fallout Shelter, Civ 6, Dishonored 2, Overwatch

Indie: No Man's Sky, Owlboy, Stardew Valley, The Witness, Firewatch

Update: No Man's Sky, Terraria, Fallout's Far Harbor

Mobile: Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run

Update can include DLC.

If Ark hasn't been released then let's not put it on the list. Sorry Greg, it will be on for next year.

Fallout Shelter was released in 2015, but it can be an update nom.

Travis Admin wrote on 12/29/2016 at 06:32am

Fallout Shelter was released for PC in 2016! :D

Travis Admin wrote on 12/29/2016 at 06:40am

Also Jon-- wasn't Mighty No. 9 indie? It was kickstarted. It looks like their publishers are just distribution partners and nothing else.

GregoPeck Super Member wrote on 12/29/2016 at 07:00am

Ark is still in Early Access and I nominated it last year. It's still my game of the year! It was just released for the PS4, so technically it could perhaps come back this year, but since I did it last year, I'm moving on.

Anyway, I'm glad Jon and Travis have finally spoken! :)

Doom is an amazing game! I really enjoyed it! It made me feel like a bad ass. It gave me a unique feeling and I freaking' loved it! The soundtrack is amazing as well, which I listened to a few time on YouTube.

No Man's Sky took a lot of crap/negativity. One thing I recall was that NMS is about as wide as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle. The Foundation update made it even deeper. I still think it's a great game. There's still plenty for me to do!

Sorry, I've been a little distracted lately. I totally missed this post for nominations :(.

An extra key for the Paladins PS4 Closed Alpha is up for grabs

I signed up for the Paladins Console Beta at https://www.paladins.com/ps4-beta-signup/ a little while ago. Being a fan of the game on PC (I run it on Linux under Wine) and already being familiar with Hi-Rez Studios' PS4 port of their exciting action MOBA, Smite, this was a no-brainer. Didn't expect to get an invite any time soon as I'm not a pro-tier player and rarely play in the competitive queue. However, I did get my invite…to the closed Alpha test.

Hi-Rez seems committed to making games that fans like to play. They also like to encourage people to play with friends. Smite often has weekends where there are bonuses for being in a party and Paladins has a permanent... Read All
