V was very fun to play...as a third-person shooter. I don't think that it was particularly good with a stealth approach. Part of that was because of the control scheme to me. You couldn't re-map them, and none of the pre-made options were very intuitive to me.

I have a wide window for simming the playoffs tomorrow, but I'm hoping to begin sometime in the range of 4-7 PM ET. Ideally on the earlier end.

The deadline has passed for award ballots, but I will still accept some as I record things and send out the remaining stat PMs. I hope to start the award ceremony no later than 8 PM ET. I will ping on Discord of course.

I guess Super Circuit came out a couple months after the GBA did, but it still feels like a launch game to me

Wasteland

With Friday over with for me, I'm going to do what I said I was going to do and pull some noms, support some others, and hope for acceptable results on Sunday

It would be absolutely painful to move on from Backloggery with the amount of games I would need to re-enter in a new site. I should probably at least think about making a spreadsheet or something as a backup, but I have thousands of games registered, so it just seems so daunting.

Wake
Shovel

maybe I should publicly reveal my guesses

Killzone: Mercenary was what I thought of first

Wheatley
Missile
*asbtain

I'm not too enthusiastic about Chop. All I can do is hope that this doesn't turn out to be another Charles Harris or Dion Jordan

Whale

That is not what Tony said

Go Dolphins!

Using my last double but could be willing to shift doubles around at a later date

Going to use up the last of my unique nominations/supports but I have two noms that I will probably drop tomorrow if they don't get support
+ Mission T.H.I.N.K. | Level 4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1silHwp5258
+ LCD Dream Escalator | Neat Beat Retreat | https://youtu.be/n5ZRIjHuqVw

I will definitely play all three. Ghost of a Tale is the only one that I am going in expecting to beat.

I have mixed feelings about Flying Wild Hog's (Hard Reset, Shadow Warrior reboot trilogy) history and heard that Evil West can get repetitive for its 10-20 hour runtime, but a supernatural western beat 'em up that is on Game Pass? Yeah, I'm giving it a try.

I did not like Umurangi Generation when I first played it 2-3 years ago on Game Pass. There were a lot of little things, but the time limit on levels felt very discouraging, so I dropped it. Since then, I guess that they've patched in an option to remove the time limit, and the game was just on sale for $1.50 USD (around $2 with the DLC) for awhile (it's a shame that it ended just before the drawing), so I will see if my view of it will change for the better.

DeviDoesNothing posted...

what video?

I didn't realize there was another post between sergio's and mine.

This is a prompt that I absolutely think four different console manufactures should be represented. PS2 and 360 seem like the obvious choices for Sony and Microsoft. Perhaps I just didn't want the 90s shut out, so maybe I should switch to NES from the SNES for Nintendo. I feel like the Atari 2600 is a better rep than anything from Sega and others.

That video didn't last long lol (unless I simply can't view it in my country and they give the same error message for all reasons why you can't view a video)

Evil West is on Game Pass for PC and console

If you have a GOG account, you may have Ghost of a Tale in your library after it was given away either last year or late 2022

And your May Games of the Month are...

Ghost of a Tale (PC/XB1/PS4/Switch)
Evil West (PC/XSX/PS5/XB1/PS4)
Umurangi Generation (PC/PS5/Switch/XB1/PS4/Meta)

Congrats to myself, JONA, and Kenri for having their games selected!

Last call for noms, changes, and supports
