Steam finally got around to updating for me. I look it mostly but the new font is harder to read for me. I can't make it a little larger or anything can I?

Steins;Gate's Japanese publisher is still afraid of Steam for some reason. Something about DRM disputes or whatever (Japanese VN companies always demand ridiculous DRM for digital releases because obviously downloads=piracy). So the best VN in English right now isn't going to show up anytime soon.

Kalypso are basically just a publisher of other developers games with ~3 in-house studios. Most of what they put out is garbage, especially Dark. Don't buy Dark. Buy Demonicon if you're super into incest.

So I should buy demonicon?

I've been waiting so long for that. I was getting sick of backing out of a game in the Store and having it return me to the top of the scrolling list. Also tabbing into my library, then tabbing back out to the Store only for it to auto-return to the Storefront off of the page of whatever game I was looking at.

Gabriel Knight is coming out with a new game. Listen to those HORRIBLE southern accents.

Just LISTEN to them.

Only one person in this video spoke with a southern accent and it sounded fine? I'm more concerned with why this game looks exactly like The Sims.

I heard a second guy say "I'm in love" which was kinda southern I guess. Are you saying the main character is using a southern accent?

I don't know how much more clear I can be by saying that everyone in that video except for the girl speaking at 17 seconds is using a lovely southern accent.

Which is why I poked fun at/made note of it. The voice actors are terrible.

Serious non-rape answer but just different masks that change it up. One starts you off with a chainsaw, one lets you take 2 bullets before you die, one gives you akimo weawpons where you can fire them both forward, left/right or forward/backward. And then another mask lets you do rolls to dodge and cover ground I guess. At least those are the ones I tried.

That's kinda cool, I guess. Man, Hotline 1 was a pretty hard as balls timing puzzle game.

Finally getting around to playing Trine 2 and am finding it to be one of those sequels that makes me think I'd rather be playing the original while I play it. It's not bad, and it looks great, but so far it just doesn't capture the fun of the original. The level gimmicks like watering the plants, moving around pipe parts, using the mirror portals are more bothersome than challenging and are overused. It also feels like there's more mandatory character switching compared to the first game. Doesn't seem like I can do as much continuous dumb box/plank/grappling stuff progression-wise before I'm forced to switch or slow down momentum and do the same puzzle again.

Have played through half the levels and they all feel about 1/3rd longer than they should be and start dragging before they're over. Also don't care for how Frozenbyte handle the collectible aspects, definitely a case of more, more, more, more stuff to collect turning me off of trying to find stuff at all. First game had a nice sweet spot of 20-30 things to find in most levels, with a couple hidden decently that made it worth it to keep an eye out. With Trine 2, every level has 100+ collectibles and it just saps my will to explore the levels since there are so many. I'm like the opposite of the OCD gamer. Trying to make everything larger in scale makes the levels/puzzles wear out their welcome, and this is from someone that had no problem making multiple level runs in the original. I think Trine 2 is going to be an one-time affair.

I don't dislike it, otherwise I wouldn't be playing it, but I just hope Trine 3 is more in line with the first game.

I mostly agree. I would like to add that I think getting rid of all the little hidden artifacts and magic items was a bad change. Searching out a hidden area only to get a few extra points of XP is not as cool as finding an item that gives you an actual upgrade, even if it is minor.
