Skulls is totally modeled on Advance Wars and Tactics, but without menu surfing and traffic jams.

This sounds amazing

[Tasty]

Skulls is totally modeled on Advance Wars and Tactics, but without menu surfing and traffic jams. I quit working for Square Japan and moved to Haunted Temple in January so I'm still getting up to speed on all the subtle nuances of the game but it's a blast in multiplayer and the campaign mode is really damn funny.

Demi, the PAX trailer I cut was really fast paced and was just to get people's attention on the show floor. A bunch of people recorded short narrated walkthroughs that go into the nitty gritty of how the game works, once those get uploaded I'll pass them along and you can see if it's your cup of tea or not

So that was you saying the ESRB blurb, I knew it.

Windows 8, Windows Phone 7, and Xbox Live Arcade. Microsoft is publishing (if it wasn't obvious.) I think Sho said it'll launch with Windows 8? Or something like that.

[Tasty]

So apparently the Pit cosplayer there was a dude.



Yeah, this "guy." MY WHOLE WORLD IS UPSIDE DOWN

Thank goodness I'm not one of those creepy Ninthings, or things could be suuuuuper awkward right now.

[etiolate]

andrex has the weirdest boner right now

However, while some conventions will let you get away with wearing practically nothing, others such as PAX East do have rules about that sort of thing.

So when professional cosplayer Jessica Nigri showed up dressed as Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw  — in a pink spandex suit with a more than plunging “neck-line” — she was asked to either leave the show or change into something more appropriate.

After changing into another Lollipop Chainsaw costume she had apparently worn the day before, without any issue,  she was asked to leave yet again

Pics at the link.

[Tasty]

I did see her walking around.  To be fair, there were plenty of kids around. THINK OF DA CHILDREN!

The pay should have been good, I can't imagine walking around giving sweaty nerds chubs they can't even see anymore.

Sounds awesome. I'm a bit behind on Windows 8's news, but it's coming to anything that supports it, desktops or otherwise, correct?

so it's cool when it's in a video game displayed there, but not on someone who's walking around there.  fucking nerds, can't handle a real woman

[Tasty]

Yeah. I do think that's important. Many of us forget gaming isn't only about 18-30 year old males.

On that note, there were also tons of girls there. I'd say it may have been about 35-40%.

[Positive Touch]

ah i c.  never been to a con before so i always assumed the stereotype of sweaty 20-40 males made up the bulk of them

[The Sceneman]

maybe at PAX even a doofus ass white boy like me can get LAID

Sounds like a shitty con. Hey Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, go back home to your uggo hag wives and let the rest of us gawk at the skanky sluts hos.

[Tasty]

Yup.  It's such a shitty con it's become the biggest gaming convention in the world in a matter of a handful of years.

Do you mean PAX East?

[etiolate]

Everyone is missing the important question, which is "Wait a minute, is that a flesh colored tube top she's wearing?"

[Tasty]

Is PAX overall really that big? I always thought it was:

1. E3
2. TGS
3. GDC
4. GamesCom
5. PAX Prime
6. PAX East

Also, half of PAX isn't even about video games but tabletop/card gaming.

[Sho Nuff]

I thought Gamescom was #1, it's just ludicrously huge

[Tasty]

Wow, never realized. Must be because it's press-"only." Kind of a weird image that it's made for itself though, that it's the premier place for new game announcements and showings.

[Tasty]

these two things are probably related somehow

Well I also remember E3 being made fun of savagely for its immaturity.

windows 8?  so I can't play it on windows 7?

[MrAngryFace]

Don't be dumbz

[cool breeze]

it's a serious question 

I haven't read up windows 8.  Don't know if there's something new about, like some new xna thing, or if it's like the fallout situation.

I'm gonna have to check out Sho Nuff's game when it gets released... for some reason I love it when SRPGs eschew grid based movements for more circular type ranges (Phantom Brave, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits, Dragon Quarter)... didn't know you worked for SE Japan though, that's interesting. What did you do there if you don't mind me asking?

He got Tetsuya Nomura's coffee and spit-shined Tsuyoshi Sekito's shoes.

[Tasty]

He was also the one who convinced Wada to make DQX an MMO.

probably has something to do with why he isn't working there anymore.

[Sho Nuff]

I'm not 100% certain what the compatibility will be for the Win8 App Store version. I gotta look into that.

Sekito-san, gentleman and scholar

At Square I started in the International Dep't and was their in-house editor for a few years. Switched over to a bizdev/producer role after that. Made the jump to work on Skulls as my midlife crisis after ten years working for Square -- now I do a ton of motion graphics / frontend / sound / video work. Good times, INDIE 4 LYFE (or as long as it pays, anyway)

Sho's totes that dude that headed the translation of Vagrant Story and did the spoken word bridge in that Otherworld song from FFX.

[demi]

Nope, he's the guy who snuck reirom into their games.

[Sho Nuff]

Ahuahuahuahuhauhua my finest moment

Here's a video showing how the game plays:

Hay Andrex, thanks for the code. Spent gruesome minutes trying to validate it over a spotty-at-best EDGE connection. When I'm back with society I shall properly offer body parts or services.

You're welcome.

Offer yourself to demi and tell him to make me admin.
