I really want to play board games at a brewery. I was doing lots of trivia at the Fredonia Brewery in Nacogdoches, but board games and beer sound great. 

Man, I hate coming back to games after too long and forgetting the mechanics; combat is usually not a chore, but puzzles are so much harder when I forget what the rules are. lol 

I wonder how much money each of those individual Capcom games made from quarters over time. How much would you need to recoup a loss building an arcade cabinet back in the day? Once again I'm wishing we had better public ways of tracking games sales and production costs, unless I just don't know of one. VG Chartz seems fairly limited. 

Sly Cooper! Yes! I knew there would be an MIA pick I overlooked. 

This vampire human farming is interesting ... 

I still haven't finished Horizon. No one cares at this point, I just like repeating that. 

I wasn't necessarily saying they crossover the gaming styles for BaG and RS, but that you have both styles of gameplay in one game and both character rosters. Or just BaG, cause it's kind of a rythm-action fighting game in a way. 

SPOOKY STAGE SELECT:

Walking around the mansion in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem with my sanity meter fairly high is a specific part of the game I still remember, though at the time it was just a genuinely creepy game (the fakeout "your memory card is erased" screen was also scary, but I think most of what I felt was anger after the initial stomach drop).

Playing the Resident Evil VII demo; it was the first legitimate scare I'd gotten from any form of horror media in years and the whole thing made my heart race.

The Silent Hill 3 demo I got via Official Playstation Magazine for PS2. I mostly remember being scared by how abstract the monsters were and the general atmosphere. 

I realize these are vague and involve two demos, but I just never played many horror titles and several ones I have like RE4, White Night, Until Dawn, The Evil Within 2, etc. either didn't scare me at all or as much as what I mentioned (Until Dawn had some pretty effective atmospheric moments, but then you have to factor in all the cheese). 

Chrono Cross:

Never played it and only played a very small portion of Trigger via emulation years ago. Make it 80 characters and introduce online play. 

By the way, so far I'm not hearing many audio issues that I notice. 

I have only ever rebought games for PS4 I had on Steam because they were more convenient once my old laptop bricked. 

I love prequels ... Julian ... we disagree on so much. lol 

Since sales came up a few times this Stage Select, is there any semi-reliable source for production costs and sales for video games a la boxofficemojo.com for movies?

Yeah, but the involvement of malls, teen dating, and credit cards reminds me of the 90s. I'm literally picturing Mallrats as I type this (least favorite Kevin Smith movie, but still).

I love that your picks so far are free ... now for one to show up on a system I own. lol 

Y'know, people like me who were at most 9 years old in the 90s tend to romanticize that decade, but it's nice to be reminded it had loser douchebags maxing out credit cards in it too. 

What ... in the hell ... is that box art? The screens look like an actual game, the text makes it sound like some kind of economic program, and the imagery looks like the natural progression from one of those inappropriate Atari games. 
What am I looking at?

No loch ness? 8/10

I need to re-rip all my CDs cause iTunes can't sync right. POS platform imo. Shoulda used something else. 

I only ever watched Rick and Morty on hulu and caught part of s3 at my friend's last I visited, but B99 and Bob'sBurger's look alright. Still pretty much good with my Netflix originals though. 

Sounds fun but I'd like to play SotN via PSN first. 

Agreed. The only other character I knew was Shovel Knight. And honestly, I'd be into a fighter with only SK characters.
