Board 8 > Sept. Game of the Month Club ft. Teslagrad, La Mulana 2, Bloodborne, and Spyro

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've got Gurumin for psp and pc and I never got the good ending, but I'm not entirely sure if I want to replay it.

nominate The House in Fata Morgana
---

I looked through my Steam library and found a good one for next month. I will nominate Costume Quest.
---

When I did the special fourth game from last year to celebrate Halloween, I was torn between Oxenfree and Costume Quest.
---

bump

Still up for co-oping some Bloodborne. For the record, I don't like dictating what to do. If someone has questions, I'll answer them, but I just like following people and helping them out. Plus, there's a lot of things Bloodborne expects you to just kinda figure out on your own that isn't terribly intuitive.
---

Sent you a friend request, MSG. Maybe this weekend?
---

I can do this weekend.
---

Bumps
---

So, is there a point in bloodborne you need to get to before starting multiplayer?

I have yet to start it, but if there's a point I need to get through, a tutorial or whatever, I can do that tonight.
---

You need to get 1 Insight to summon help. It's like humanity in Dark Souls, but a lot easier to get. You get them by finding a boss, beating a boss, helping someone else beat a boss, or using an item called Madman's Knowledge. Playing blind, you're probably gonna find a boss before any of those other things.
---

I cleared the Brahma puzzle in La-Mulana 2. Man, does it feel to good to finally get that. I've been looking at that for days with no clue what I was supposed to do until tonight.
---

Eh, only two answers, one yes, one no... and I'm still saying yes.

So I nom: Gurumin
---

I might switch my Poi nom if I can think of another Halloween-appropriate game.
---

I tend to want to avoid repeating noms, but I will switch Poi to Slayaway Camp
---

nominate Amnesia: The Dark Descent
---

Drawing on Monday the 24th or Tuesday the 25th
---

Nomatie Scribblenauts
---

Hitting me up on Discord is probably the most reliable way to let me know you want to play, fyi.
---

Prior to replaying Spyro, I had it in my head that my ranking of the original trilogy was 3 > 2 > 1.

I have been replaying the second and third games, and I think that it might be 3 >= 1 > 2 now.
---

Pretty unlikely I'll beat anything this month. Just going to go ahead and nominate

80 Days

Ok...

well I still haven't found a boss yet to get one of those things that would let us get started.
---

*goes back to Bloodborne file*

ok beat the bloody crow and finished Eileen's quest.

...I don't remember why I thought I needed to do this before trying to finish the game...?
---

It seems kind of weird that you have to accomplish some specific tasks in the game to open up co-op, but I haven't played it to know if that makes sense in the context of the game or not.
---

Bumpers
---

I have all the mantras in La-Mulana 2, so I think I'm getting pretty close. I just need to figure out which of the few big tasks I have left I can actually tackle now and which need to wait.

"Kind of weird" is a fitting description for the Souls series multiplayer in pretty much all regards.

Bump

NIGHTMARE SLAIN

ok before I do the ending I kind of want to make sure that I back my save properly for the other endings.

also I probably need to farm some more blood vials since I'm almost out.

anything I need to know?

Remember drawing on Monday or Tuesday

This has been a pretty poor month. Maybe we can end the year on a more productive note.
---

Ok. Got the Yharnam Sunrise ending in Bloodborne

redownloaded my save, got Gerhman down to like where 1 or 2 more combos would have killed him but died. need to take a break for now and come back later I guess.

nominate Super Ghouls n Ghosts if I haven't done so before. I honestly don't remember if I have or not, if I have I guess I'd go with rabi ribi or something instead.

Yeah...

I still might do Spyro. But I doubt I'm going to get anywhere in Bloodborne with what's left.

I'd like to nominate one of the 2-player nes games on Nintendo switch online, but I'm not sure which one.

Don't worry, I'll definitely have a beat by the end of the month. I'm at the very late game stretch of La-Mulana 2 right now. I just took some time to clean up some things I hadn't done, like getting all the apps in the game.
---

Drawing more likely to be tomorrow.
---

I do believe I am in the final area of La-Mulana 2. I was so close to opening it for the longest time, and had an idea of the steps to do, but was either doing them out of order, or missing one small thing. Gotta watch football tonight, but maybe finishing this Monday? Or definitely this week.
---

I still plan on going through Spyro before the end of the month, but I will not get it done before the drawing.
---

La-Mulana 2 beaten

It's a good thing I technically started this in the previous month, because my final playtime ended up being over 80 hours, and I was never going to get that kind of time in any game in a single month.

Also, nominate Silent Hill
---

Nominate River City Ransom
and
uh...

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

what, I think we've got enough scary games next month already. =P
---

Nominations and changes are closed. I will draw within the hour.
---

And your October Games of the Month are...

Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure (PC/3DS/PSP)

I'm not good enough to beat SGn'G (especially not twice), and I've already completed 999 a few times, so those are out. I'll check Gurumin out, though. Already own it, for some reason.
---

KCF0107 posted...

I'd be willing to give it (Gurumin) a try. I got it for free for like joining the developer's Steam group eons ago.

Possibly applies to you as well.
---

Yeah, I think that is how I got it. Forgot all about that.
---

I do remember joining that group, but I also got it from a Humble Bundle at some point. I tried to redeem it, but I might have owned it already, so it's possible this Steam key will work for someone.

---

It's been a few years since I've played SGnG, but that should be a fun run through some night. I may also do a run through of 999. I beat it a while back, but it shouldn't be too hard to get through again now.
---

Ugh once again nothing for me (unless I decide to run through 999)
---

Nothing for me either barring a replay of 999.

If you've never played it, I would highly recommend it though. Great series.
---

Now I get to try to get further in Gurumin with a controller, as I couldn't do one level with keyboard.
