What are you playing?

[Matt]

Anyone here have a Wii U? I won one at the company holiday party and I'm wondering if it's worth keeping or not. I'm thinking of selling it otherwise.

[BillyG]

If you'd like to sell it under market price I'd be open to listening. Rob has one and loves it, but he's drunk.

[Fil]

good luck with that, haha. I don't think it's possible either. But goddamn is it fucking satisfying to cut a dude's head in quarters and then take his spine out only to basically drink the fluid.

Yeah, I tried the first time through, got to a couple enemies unnoticed and silently killed them but then I decided I wanted to go crazy cutting everyone up. I read that a stealth and no kill run would be possible, but that might have been before Platinum took the game over. Not sure if it was the difficulty, I was on normal, but the parrying system seemed forgiving, which I appreciated.

There's an easter egg on the last dummy you slice in the tutorial if you slice the hostage as well.

You won't make any money over retail but it's a pretty cool little system. If you're not into gaming, it's a pretty swank little internet browser box, netflix/hulu/amazon player, etc.

You could probably easily get 200 for it though.

But like Billy said, I love mine and Lesley and I play it all the time.

Yeah, the parrying system is definitely forgiving. I'll have to try the easter egg thing tonight. I wish this was coming out on the WiiU as using the gamepad with the blade system would be DOPE.

Maybe if it's the pro one. I'd like to play ZombiU.

[Matt]

Game recommendations for it?

[BillyG]

ZombiU is about it. Nintendo Land is fucking GREAT if you get a house full of drunk people. New Super Mario 2 is not new. It's like the 4th they've made in that style now, and I just never found them fun at all.

Raiden vs. cat.

ZombiU is awesome, Nintendo Land is fun as fuck, the new Mario game is fucking awesome (Billy gonna hate) and has some of the best levels in a Mario game in ages, the Sonic Racing game is actually really fucking fun, FIFA 13 is awesome if you like soccer games.

Also great Wii games (that can be played on the WiiU) that you may have never played:

Donkey Kong Country Returns- best platformer of the decade. Easily
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - polished as fuck, fun as hell
Metroid:Other M - really fucking fun Metroid game by the guys who did Ninja Gaiden

[Abraham Smashington]

So I played a bunch more of The Cave last night. This game is the goods. It's pretty fucking funny and plays just like Gilbert's other games. Good stuff and totally worth the 1200 points.

I gave the Metal Gear Rising demo another go and now I'm double-sold. This time, I went in knowing that some of the Bayonetta combos also do combos in MGR (Forward Forward Kick does a Stinger, 360 Kick does Raiden's MGS4 Cuisinart Of Doom, Forward Forward Sword does a launch move, Running Kicks do slides, etc). It's like playing a whole new demo.

I mean, parrying and slicing soldiers is great and all, but sliding under three soldiers, going hog wild with blade mode before ripping the rear guy's spine out and letting three piles of chunky soldier salsa fall to the ground behind you is gangsta as fuck.

[Abraham Smashington]

fuck yeah it is. I honestly was caught completely off guard by this demo. It's so awesome.

[Nathan]

Ps3?

[Abraham Smashington]

both systems.
