Saturday Open Thread + Some Steam Controller Fun

My Steam controller arrived a few days ago. I thought I’d give this a shot by playing some Mortal Kombat X last night after I configured the settings on it. I should probably configure the controller settings for other games like Sonic, Serious Sam and Quake. I like how it has a Gyro setting on the controller so that you can use it to turn left and right, and look up and down in-game. 😀

Now I can use it to play fun games with Tomala on the HTPC in the living room. 😀 This is an Open Thread, so feel free to post comments if you wish.

It’s time to get serious!

After I played a bit of Serious Sam Fusion 2017 the other night, I created a Serious Sam collection in Scribblenauts. It has the main character plus some monsters and a few weapons. Click here to look at the collection. So far I have obtained three out of four elements and discovered a secret portal that teleports me to the secret door which leads me to Moon Mountains in the first encounter:

I think I’ll tear into this game some more whenever I feel like getting serious.

Playing The Expendabros on Murica’ Day

I decided to celebrate 4th of July by playing The Expendabros, and I have completed the game after tracking down the final boss and running from sawblades and a big red deadly beam to go on a helicopter ride:

Mission accomplished, Bro!

I’ll plan on playing the original Broforce game someday so that I can unlock some Bros and go through some areas that are owned by Satan and his evil minions, and also some bosses like Terrorbot and Megacockter.

I hope everyone else has a Bromantic Murica’ Day. 😀

Time to double the Poker Night Fever

Last night I played both Poker Night and Poker Night 2. I managed to obtain a Team Fortress 2 item; a special knife for the Heavy after winning Brock Samson’s orb. I also got some various achievements from both games. Here are some screenshots I took while playing around with them:

Better luck next time, Heavy Weapons Guy.

Victory is mine! 😀

Adios, Claptrap!

Oh no, now Brock is going apeshit after I won the tournament.

What I like about them are various poker table styles, and the decks like the Team Fortress 2 deck and the Venture Bros. deck. Cool! 😀 I’ll think about playing some more of those so that I can get more items from TF2 and Borderlands 2.

Sonic and Tails’ Excellent Adventure

Instead of Scribblenauts or GMod, Tomala and I grabbed our controllers to play Sonic The Hedgehog Episode II. The gameplay looks great but the enemies are sometimes intense. The A button lets you jump or swim up (and if you keeping pressing A and you play as Tails, you will fly around especially when Sonic is grabbing him), the X button lets Sonic and Tails use teamwork, and if you hold the down button then keep pressing A, your character will rev up and take off if you let go of the down button. I also like how Sonic and Tails can do a special pinball attack to destroy a bunch of enemies. 😀

I remember playing other side-scrolling games like Jazz Jackrabbit for DOS, and a couple of Super Mario Advance games when I was a little kid. 🙂 We haven’t managed to kick Eggman’s ass yet, but at least it was fun. Now I just need to wait for the prices of that game plus some other Sonic games to go down then I’ll add them to my Steam library.

Happy Birthday to me!

Had a nice birthday today. I got a tablet so I can draw stuff on my computer, it can also be used as a mousepad so that you can use the pen or your finger (only when the touch is on) to move the cursor. I also got Mortal Kombat X along with Kombat Packs 1 and 2 on Steam for my birthday with the help from my sister Tomala. 🙂

Anyway, we had some pizza for my birthday dinner:

And here’s my birthday cake that San_San made:

I even took a pic of a slice of my cake. It’s a marble cake.

Yep, my birthday is going really well tonight. 🙂
