When you play videogames, you expect a certain level of strangeness; I mean, everybody’s played Super Mario Bros., and when you really think about it, the premise of that game — a plumber who has to save a mushroom princess from a giant turtle — is downright bizarre. A certain suspension of disbelief is required for all games; even “realistic” games like Call of Duty feature soldiers who can heal bullet wounds by staying behind cover for a few seconds, and despite growing more realistic...
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.

The subject of this Looking Back article is something a little different however, as it deals with infidelity and the fallout that comes the way of the straying main character. Intrigued? Well, come with me to the weird world of 2011’s Catherine!"
Dinner Date looks funny, but if I played it I'd probably just see what kind of silly things I could get the main character to do, like I did when I played Façade.

You know, a lot of people have problems with that stuff but I always just thought about health in games like a "luck" meter or something. All those things that deplete the health bar just scrape off you and waste your luck and the final one that finishes the health bar means your luck ran out and you really finally got hit, which kills you.
Haha, might be overly complicated but it makes most games feel more realistic to me.
And that was kinda off topic but I've been wanting to share that with someone.
Happy belated/early new year everyone.
