We have the same media, get the same movies, play the same games. I am genuinely interested. I'm sure the literal insane man who lives in a shack in the woods makes some perfectly salient points applicable to my urban lifestyle

My favorite part of podcasts with Drew is when he drops the Tailspin "ooh wee ooh" whenever someone mentions anything related to Tailspin. This week I think Jeff said "dovetail" and he did it. I don't think anyone pays attention to Drew's asides during podcasts, but he gets some good ones in there. EDIT - "It's pronounced Nike."

Another Person posted:E: incidentally, so you don't think I am some crazy gun nut or something, defending this idea of protecting yourself, here is my stance. I am british (no guns allowed), have held a gun three times in my life through being in the cadets, did not like it. I refused to go to the firing range and shortly left after that. I thought it was crazy that my dad had a sickle under his bed to prevent thieves, despite the fears of my own of being broken into. I have a sketch written down somewhere in my flat about how ludicrous the entire security culture is about security cameras. My home was burgled about 9 months ago and the thieves were about 12 feet from me while I slept when they grabbed my wallet (thankfully not my car keys that were on top of it), and almost certainly were watching me through a window as I go to bed pretty late. I still have no desire whatsoever to own a gun. Really the biggest pain in the rear end was that I was moving the next week and had to get new everything, also that my cat, who is the best cat, might have mauled the upstairs cats. Crazy libertardians wanting to shoot anything and everything like the Castle Doctrine "dev" are crazy people. 99% of the time crooks just want your petty cash and easily fenced electronics, not to kill your pregnant wife and 2 kids. But far more importantly, to re-iterate, and this is the important part: not only is that guy a crazy person, he makes lovely games and has idiotic opinions on game pricing and Castle Doctrine will wither on the vine in about a month when there's no new blood to sustain a multiplayer dependent game that gets more expensive, to say nothing of it being stupidly balanced.

Jeff always seems very aware of how he's showing up on camera. Like last week's UPF he would tilt himself to try and stay upright on the screen as Vinny was messing with moving everyone's faces around.

They have a preview monitor, but it's primarily used by Jeff for stuff like that. Drew gets some good looks into the camera though.

He doesn't want to shoot anything. By providing such a graphic, almost Hotline Miami level, depiction of violence and paranoia, he is intentionally making you question and think about it. Letting you, the player and builder, get killed by your own traps is alone providing an idea of how stupid these defence worries are. I'm just going to give up, because nobody is going to look at the drat interview to actually understand the point the dev is making. I'm just going to say that it is anti-security. He addresses it around here from this point through the next couple minutes, if you really want to jump to the bit I am talking about. He is taking a negative stance, the point of view he takes is that these concerns are entirely trumped up. "... after going to the gunshop and looking at a gun and talking to my wife it just seemed like a bad idea." I agree that the game getting more expensive is silly though.

Another Person posted:... I don't want to go into some big politics debate here because this is a games forum and my daytime life is discussing politics, but how is wishing to protect your kids and pregnant wife from a dog in the countryside hosed up? As someone who grew up in the countryside in a house that was next to a farming/outerwear goods shop that was constantly getting robbed (like, monthly), I grew up in constant fear of people breaking into my house as a young child. They were on the same property as each other and the risk was 100% there. My dad even had a part time role of having to go into that shop when it was getting robbed to deactivate that alarm and get rid of thieves. /I had seen thieves and I knew everytime that alarm went off my dad would have to go out there and risk the thieves. The game is coming from the same security paranoia and fear that the guy who presented Infamous: Second Son is coming from.

MadScientistWorking posted:Its hosed up because its an escalation of violence in such an extreme capacity in regards to something from my own personal experience is such a minor hiccup. I'm sure if I lived in the middle of nowhere like he apparently does it would be a major issue for me but comparatively speaking its not exactly on the high list of issues. Hell even your life story is a minor hiccup to me. Why the hell did he contemplate getting a weapon if he didn't want to escalate? Pressure - he didn't personally want to escalate, but his wife felt unsafe, he perceived a possible risk to his children, he saw his neighbours being broken into, these issues, when combined with the influence of the image popular culture forces onto him - the image of a 'manly protector of the house', pushed him to look into it. Societal pressures push a lot of people into decisions they don't want to do - look at peer pressure, for example. What actually happened is he looked at the statistics of risk though, and discovered the low probability of danger, the low successes of self-protection and so on. It is literally all discussed in the interview. If anything at all, I would say that the game is anti-self defence. The repugnance at the violence and escalation you are feeling is entirely intentional - he is intentionally drawing a disgusting picture for you to look at. Like the violence in Hotline Miami was supposed to make you feel dirty, the killing in this game serves to do the same. Building an overly complex home to protect your money and family is supposed to feel crazy - he is using this intentionally. Another Person fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Jan 31, 2014 |

Recently my roommate was shooting footage for his job at a pawn shop and entered some contest they were having at the time and won his choice between a PS3 and an Xbone. He, of course, picked the PS3. A couple of weeks later he got a call from the police saying that it was a stolen console and he ended up having to give it back. The pawn shop didn't have another PS3 in stock so they offered him the Xbone or the next PS3 that comes in. He's still waiting on a PS3.

Dude why do you keep going on about this? He is a weird self absorbed guy who makes lovely games and has strange opinions. It doesn't matter if he buys a gun or keeps a rusty dog beating stick as a weapon. The point is that he does it.

I am just particularly interested in security culture. I think it is all ludicrous, and this game happens to be relevant. I'll actually shut up now. VV You can kill kids. Most games do not allow that because it is hosed up. That is what I meant. VVV

Trade in your PS3 and save $100 on an Xbone, or keep your PS3 and buy a next-gen console for the same price. Wonderful.

It is not relevant because no one designs their whole house to be a death trap that they have to run first. It's not applicable in anyway because you are not defending your house. It's like looking at Pokemon as a guide for pet care.

I am talking about the general message, not the literal idea of the game, haha. I know nobody has a pit right after their front door like some Home Alone throwback. I just think it is interesting considering I have thought about the topic in-depth before. This is absolutely my last post on the topic though, please don't respond with something I can respond back to, hah. I could very well happily talk about it for a while because I have similar experiences as a child, etc. I understand it is boring and dumb and poorly executed though. Sorry for the derail guys.
