When you download a drawing app, pay the $3 "premium" upgrade using leftover store credit, and don't know where to begin, because you should probably have a stylus and not your finger.

Post something random or you'll have an awful December.

...I was already going to post something random. This just gave me an excuse~

Anyone else think Sephy could just lift his Masamune and impale Cloud mid-attack? Seems like our dude is SUPER vulnerable right there with the length of his opponent's sword and all.

Just a quick *thuk* and he waits as Cloud slowly slides down towards him. Not a fatal wound. There's no fun in that.
A wide shot of Cloud and Sephiroth over rubble. Cloud is mid-leap, with his trademark Buster Sword held over his head while Sephiroth looks up at him from several meters away (he has his singular black wing extended behind himself).

I need a game where things can go terribly wrong if a player doesn't pay attention. The ramblings of an NPC, a posted notification, an odd spam email...

Not that these events would ALWAYS occur, but... what if there were, say, a 10-20% chance for those extra stairs to spawn?
A small, printed sheet of paper hanging on a brick wall, it has a picture of a staircase. The text reads as follows: WARNING If you see stairs, do not ascend. This building has no fourth floor. The voices calling you DO NOT belong to your loved ones.

I've had this cord for the LONGEST time and I've no idea what it is (or was) for.

Anyone recognize it? #computer #tech #technology

I was SUCH a relentless bastard when he was in my trio.

If you see this, post a random picture from your device without explaining it.
A sprite comic dated 10/31/2004. The costumes are all edited sprites that resemble various characters from Star Ocean: the Second Story. There's a fog along the ground, dead or leafless trees in the background, and a bright moon visible through clouds in the night sky.

New mouse today, too. Well, not "new" new, but I've been pretty much using just a standard 2-button & wheel mouse until now.

Bought this little guy during WoW's first Plunderstorm event and figured that a couple extra buttons could be nice again.
A black Logitech G502 mouse, featuring several extra buttons along its side, in addition to the standard left- and right-click buttons, plus mouse wheel. A neon green stylized "G" is illuminated near the middle of the mouse.

3. Everyone should play...

Unholy Heights

It's a relaxing and pretty cute little game that's an interesting mix of management sim and (not exactly) tower defense. You take the role of the devil, who's decided that being a landlord is a stepping stone to world conquest...
A collage of numerous monsters from Unholy Heights, with the stylized game name up above. Basic flow of Unholy Heights, in 4 steps. 1. The monster is looking for a place to live, move them into your building (a Cheepy, a small, chick-like monster, is seen talking to The Devil -- who is apparently a balding man with glasses, wearing a purple cape). 2. They'll pay you rent (the Cheepy is standing in front of a pile of money) 3. And you'll have someone to protect your home! (The Cheepy is fighting an armor-clad knight) 4. Grow an army of monstrous tenants! Aim to CONQUER THE WORLD!! (A large crowd of various monsters are gathered)

1. First Game

I got a good taste of gaming, and early shmups, with a friend's copy of Galaga. We'd borrow their NES once in a great while (if they went on vacation or to the cabin on a long weekend) and I'd get to numb my brain with some 8-bit goodies. Nice seeing it get some love as a Smash cameo.
A screenshot of the N.E.S. game Galaga. Several rows of enemy attackers are at the top of the screen while the player's ship is near the bottom. One column of enemies has been mostly eliminated and two other enemies have recently been hit and are seen in their death animation sprites.

This'll be something fun each day and make me fire up the ol' brainmeats once in a while.

Cosmetic slots/transmogrification has to be one of my favorite "extra" features in a game. While I love getting new, stronger gear, I also really enjoy having a cohesive outfit for my character... even if a mismatched, best-in-slot, clown suit equipment set was a rite of passage for a long time...
An Orc from World of Warcraft, standing in the grass in front of two trees, with a variety of different items equipped that do not appear to go together whatsoever. He has a light blue and lavender helm. Yellow and blue pauldrons. A gray and white chest piece with a pink gem Maroon pants with teal accents. Red and silver boots. Black and yellow gauntlets. A green axe enchanted with a magenta glow. A lavender shield.

The graphics were quite good in terms of what developers were pumping out in the early 90s. Environments were varied, backgrounds were moderately detailed, and animations, while not spectacular, still felt above average for the most part.
A screenshot from Kabuki Quantum Fighter. The character hangs over an expanse of spiked floors, with flowing water at both ends and several other grapple points leading up to a length of ceiling that can be grabbed and used to continue further through the stage. The information panel below shows the player's Life represented by a line of large red squares and Chip (weapon energy) seen as thinner blue rectangles. The Enemy bar is empty, as it is reserved for boss encounters. To the right, the current weapon is displayed; at this particular moment, the red swirl indicates attacks will be made with Scott's hair (unless crouching, in which case he punches, or, as he's suspended from a platform, a sweeping kick attack will be made). The bottom-most information includes the player's score, lives remaining, and level timer.

Post your jank!

Your 7/10 games. Your weird games you like but were never gonna set the world on fire.
Cover art for the NES game Kabuki Quantum Fighter. The main character appears on the left with long, bright red/orange hair, a similarly bright red outfit, and several red lines across his face. To his right are illustrated depictions of in-game scenes, such as the character leaping over flames or fighting enemies. The blue background has a number of technological flair elements added, such as schematics, in regards to the game taking place within a digital world.
