The whole point of the game, like they straight up said, is the atmosphere and dread it makes with this weirdly helpless feeling you get unable to do anything but man cameras. The whole 'this is the job' thing they talked about is what adds to it because when you see your power near gone and it's 4 am and you know literally no matter what you have to sit there until either 6 am or you die, it makes things tense. The jumpscares aren't the point, they're punishment for failing at resource management. If you want to avoid them...get good?

Haha wow they almost beat Five Nights at Freddy's, well done guys. They accidentally lucked into having a good strategy because they misunderstood how the fox dude works (they assumed that all of them could run, and having the door closed when the fox started running is what saved them on the third night).

5naf seems like a generic slenderman-esque horror game with resource management tacked on. Which is fine but I don't understand why it has this giant crazy fanbase all of a sudden. I feel like it's only a matter of time before some kid beats his friend to death with a duck because "I saw it in the video game!" like slender.

Pewdiepie and Markiplier made videos about it "before it got popular" and then it got popular so basically that's all it needed

I'm not sure I'd call Five Nights "generic". It's not like there's a whole lot of JPEG-based resource management/horror games out there.

To people trying to be "witty" on the internet, all it needs to qualify as generic is jump scares. As Pat said many times in the video, the game is pretty tense even without them and the sound design is also pretty good so obviously the jump scares are not the only scary part of it.

Gamespot's doing their Extralife marathon right now, Mary Kish is on stage 5 of FNAF, and man oh man it becomes a crazy management game once Freddy enters the fray.

Matt! Knowing how much you and others love classic Apogee games here, I'm posting this here after alerting the Steam and GOG threads: Hooooly poo poo. I might just have to jump on this come payday: https://3drealms.com/catalog/3d-realms-anthology_50/ Every Apogee/3D Realms game sans Max Payne and Prey for $20. DRM-Free digital download. Even has a bonus soundtrack. I think this is the closest I will ever get to a Steam Anthology I have literally been waiting YEARS for. Edit: That price is only good for 48 hours, but there's still 30+ hours left. I only know this because I just bought it. Hop on it ASAP since it will go up to $40. Edit #2: Registration and payment was painless. Looks like you can download the games individually or the whole anthology at once (I did the latter because I am soooo saving multiple copies of this). The anthology is a ~500MB download of a single .exe and the soundtrack is a ~800MB .zip file. The anthology unpacked is 907MB. Looks like they are all pre-configured with the latest version of DOSBox, which is 0.74 (no surprise there). The reason the soundtrack size is so big is that it comes in three formats: MP3, FLAC, and 24-bit WAV files. Cool! It just installed and ran fine under Windows 8.1. The launcher has all of the games in mini GOG-like game boxes with a vertical slider on the right-hand side to scroll down to the rest of the games. Going to test them out later. Edit for Trip Report Testing: Oh God. After testing out Bio-Menace, Major Stryker, Wolf 3D, and Wacky Wheels, my nostalgia hard-on could cut diamonds. The music, the graphics, everything...  All the games I've tried so far require zero configuration. They launch in full screen and sound and play beautifully. I think even Wolf3D is the fully un-altered version that Apogee used to re-sell back in the day too (the version in the id Anthology on Steam censored out some screens in the "Read This! section and took out the Aardwolf icon in the infamous maze in Episode 2 or 3). Some games have the option to view the game's manual right from the launcher and some don't. The sub-folder for the anthology under Program Files has the game neatly organized in their own folders. This is a dream come true. Probably the best $20 I've spent in years. Charles Martel fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Oct 24, 2014 |

Well, this latest DS episode was bountiful in information. Pat never taught Woolie how to double estus, and Woolie takes his entire right hand off the controller to switch on the hotkey inventory. That explains every death when he dies trying to switch to Estus.

Liam should have helped Woolie through the DLC so he can learn how to be a crazy cool guy because it's honestly a lot more fun and makes a lot of the DLC bosses much easier.
