In Pat's rant on the Windows 10/XBone stuff, he said that, based on the possibility of turning the XBox One into an iterative system, they could end up releasing an older version of the system called "XBox One - Original Generation"

I want that so badly. I need that name so badly.

Seriously, even minor endorsement deals (why DOES Cam Newton advertise yogurt?) regularly at least double a player's income.

I'm not sure that it's fair to call this 'podcast curse' when they explicitly brought this up on the podcast and how this seemed like it was going to be inevitably end up like this based on their description of the events leading up to it.

It's a Telltale game based on Minecraft.

Nuzlocke challenges are the worst. The big secret is to basically just grind your rear end off so you can overpower things. It's super boring as an LP. I mean I love Pokemon games but they are so simple and grindy they make terrible video LPs unless you are willing to do a ton of editing.

Minecraft can look pretty nice, actually. There's a shader pack that came out fairly recently that adds dynamic lighting, light that pierces through leaves, and updates an older shaderpack that added wind-blown greenery(leaves, plants, crops), realistic and clear water, among other things. There's a modpack, Life In The Woods, that adds an insane amount of new stuff to the base exploration aspect of the game(IE not ridiculous spergy tech stuff) that also builds in the shaderpack for anyone with a good PC.

I took a few screenshots, and it's pretty startling the difference it makes.




In motion it's even better, with the leaves and grass gently moving in the breeze, and I'm not even using any of the many, many hi-res texture packs which would likely make it look even better. Standard Minecraft can look, well, static.

Kind of a moot point since Telltale is working off standard, actually pretty ugly minecraft

The post I quoted was saying Minecraft itself looked like poo poo, which with just three things; dynamic lighting, realistic water, and wildblown foliage, works wonders for making it look a thousand times better, not even changing any of the textures or anything, that's what I'm saying.

Minecraft story mode uses a graphic style like one of these shader pack type of things to add ugly bloom and light shafts everywhere instead of making it look good as in those screenshots of the real game, sooo

edit: and a pointless vignette, I forgot about that.
