Anybody who goes to see Kole and Gary at COSI should check this thing out: http://cosi.org/exhibits/adventure Outwardly it's targeted at kids, but there's a lot more to it. You'll see groups of adult nerds stomping around with flashlights and clipboards...

Since we were talking about Okami itt last week it seems like a good place to post the realization I just had, which is that the Wii U is basically the perfect platform for an Okami sequel (which will never happen and if it does it will probably be poo poo)

A sequel won't happen but a remaster/remake seems slightly more possible and would be rad. Make the intro skipable, incorporate the screen, badaboom.

Someone at Capcom clearly thinks Okami has the potential to be a big popular game but I don't think any version of the game (PS2, Wii, HD remaster, or the DS sequel) sold very well so it's probably not coming back anytime soon.

If you're talking about their take on the steam hardware, I felt like they were a bit off the mark. The controller is super weird and hit or miss based on people trying the one I've got, but the link worked pretty well for the most part right out of the box, and they've been running out patches in the steam beta client almost daily since I got it. It's loving great and exactly what I wanted. The controller definitely needs some more time for people to figure out how to configure it though. None of the stuff I got was outright broken like they described.

Almost every impression has been very positive, and I had no idea you could pair a DS4 controller or stream video by adding your media player's shortcut to Steam.

AngryBooch posted:Does the controller function outside of Steam Big Picture Mode? I.e. can I use the track pads to navigate as I would on a laptop? When you first plug the steam controller in it registers as a mouse, with one of the touchpads acting as a trackpad and a trigger acting as a mouse button. Other buttons also have default OS button binds too. I'm not sure how configurable it is because I haven't tried, but I was able to browse to my steam directory and launch steam in Windows Explorer with the steam controller. So yeah it does mouse stuff. ja2ke fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Oct 25, 2015 |

ja2ke posted:I'm not sure how configurable it is because I haven't tried, 100%, under big picture mode -> settings -> controller configurations -> Desktop. I think they actually added that in the last week or so, the menu is different than when I first looked. There are grayed-out spots for big picture mode config and web browser config too, which will be nice. The first thing I tried to do was figure out how to make the paddles be left and right click instead of the shoulders. I have problems with inconsistent detection that I haven't figured out. Some combination of steam being on or off or in big picture mode can make it not notice the controller turned on. Annoying. I like the controller a lot, but I haven't used it for anything really action oriented like an FPS besides just to test it. Felt weird. It works great for playing Pillars of Eternity or Shadowrun from the couch, though. At least so far. Anything pausable or turn based that needed a mouse. Dungeon of the Endless works basically perfectly.

I want my first Steam Controller experience to be Neverwinter Nights 2. Just jump right into a game with an abysmal combination of camera+direct control, and see if somehow that controller makes it work.

Zombies' Downfall posted:Those who actually have NWN2 on Steam, I salute you I wish it were more playable. That game is my textbook definition of "hot mess". Also in relation to the "boil up some Mt. Dew" line: I knew guys who would actually do this at LAN parties because they swore it "made the caffeine purer" or some poo poo to just be drinking what was effectively hot syrup. I kinda doubt that was the KotH writers' inspiration, but who knows, maybe they knew the type too.

Opposing Farce posted:So you're saying official protocol on ghost ships is "shoot the fucker." Yeah, in the Navy if a ship isn't safe to be sold/scrapped/stored then it's loving target practice. Although that Coast Guard game looks hilarious. I don't know, if given a chance to make a game about my days sailing the seven seas it would either be a real time cleaning simulator or the most bizarre game of Sid Meier's Pirates with modern equipment.

The U.S. Coast Guard then determined that sinking the abandoned vessel was necessary to prevent it running aground or becoming a hazard to navigation. The Anacapa fired upon it with a Mk 38 25mm autocannon, holing and sinking the Ryou-Un Maru in approximately 1,800-metre (6,000 ft) of water in the Gulf of Alaska 180 miles (290 km) off the coast of the Alaskan Panhandle.

Oh man, talk about timing: 3MA this week did their show on King of Dragon Pass. Looks like Gary and Kole got the scoop on this old game that's incredibly endearing.

Listened to the latest The Level. I'm going to be interested to hear Dennis' final take on the Talos Principle in a few weeks. It's a fair bit longer than he thinks, and the story does get pretty good. Probably my favorite game last year.

Phone posted:Download all of A Life Well Wasted if you haven't heard them. I will second the hell out of this. Honestly of the stuff in the OP I'd recommend picking a few Duckfeed podcasts (Abject Suffering and Teenage Dirtbags are pretty timeless if you want shorter stuff), or grabbing the Giant Beastcast if it's escaped you so far. I don't want to throw out things that tend to be more time-sensitive because coming to those late is boring and/or miserable depending on topic. If you want non-gaming stuff and just need podcasts, period, I would probably point you at I Don't Even Own A Television or the partly-game based Laser Time network of shows. Have a good trip and as a fellow SoCal resident, best of luck on whatever's driving you out

For gaming stuff, if you want to go for just the hits of yesterday, the This Year collections of 1Up Yours (2007) (alternatively: 1Up Yours top 40 moments according to This Year listeners), GFW Radio (2008), Idle Thumbs (Season 1?), The Hot Spot (top 40), or probably any of their Bombcast or Retronauts ones would all be worth a try and will def. get you through several hours each. sub supau fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Nov 3, 2015 |

If the sound quality is what was keeping you from getting into Crate & Crowbar, they got new mics a few weeks back. They still have some issues with the mix but it sounds a lot better than before. Except for this last episode because only one of them can work the new mics and he wasn't there so they did the old method. Good pod.
