Having a newborn has been surprisingly good for my backlog, at least in terms of games that are short and / or can be easily paused. Got through This War of Mine, Reus, The Swapper, Endless Space, Grown Home, 400 Days, and some of Talos Principle and Mark of the Ninja. All of which were a lot of fun, and would be easy to recommend to someone who was interested. The only thing I've played that I wouldn't recommend was Proteus, which was a walking simulator that was inferior to actually walking.

Okay, now I thoroughly regret taking the bait. I'm playing the remastered version of The Day of The Tentacle and devs' commentary is really fun to listen to. What other games apart from remastered Monkey Islands have this? I also remember a Deus Ex LP made by some original developers as a promotion for new games and it was also insanely good.

I like biscuits, but if you don't totally bake them, they get all gooey in the center and gross. Sopapillas are better anyway.

In game news that isn't some dumb fedora bullshit, somebody found another crowd-related cue in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out related to when you can one-shot Piston Honda and Bald Bull.

corn in the bible posted:oh my god all of you shut the gently caress up thank you Paladinus posted:Okay, now I thoroughly regret taking the bait. Jolly Rover and Sly Cooper 1 both had dev commentary. The dev commentary in sly cooper was cool but you had to unlock it by finishing the time trials for each level, so the commentary would only ever be about whatever level the time trials were available for. Jolly Rover's dev commentary is unlocked once you've beaten the game once and it was pretty interesting to listen to imo since it went into a lot of the development process as well as featuring voice casting call stuff

The commentary for Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Director's Cut is cool because at one point the art director makes a Zoolander reference while you're looking at a scale model of a building in the game.

LawfulWaffle posted:Enter the Gungeon is a fun game and both the criticisms leveled at it in this thread recently are, I can't think of the word, stupid? It's like a different game and it references a boss from a different game. The boss one is double pathetic because the game is chock-full of gun puns and the boss being referenced is iconic and fits nicely into the motif. There's also a boss based on a Beholder (god, such an old idea used in other games how unoriginal) and a Gorgon (same), so I guess it's good that person didn't bother to experience the game. Its fine not to spend money on something you don't like, but those are two pretty flimsy negs. It's a good game, and I don't even mind the luck part. My chief complaint is that the camera is really annoying in a weird way. It's like they try to do some sort of look-ahead, but it's poorly implemented. I dunno. It'll probably get fixed eventually, or I'll get used to it. Either way, really cool game. Local co-op is really fun, if not a little buggy.

Maybe not a proper commentary but Volition's youtube channel has a bunch of videos of them playing old/debug builds of their games, unreleased PSP prototypes, etc. and doing running commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3JN-ky-V6s

Lurdiak posted:What. Instead of letting the player choose what sex/race/appearance is, a player's appearance is determined by their steam id in Rust. While its kind of a dumb thing to do, it does cause some hilarious reactions when a player is forced to play as a female and or minority character.

The remastered Grim Fandango has commentary, which is mostly fun and interesting but sometimes slips into "My gosh, everyone involved in this game was the best person ever"

Only thing I could knock about Transformers is it doesn't use the old theme. It does have kick rear end music though. Also Prime dishing out one liners was great. I forgot how he said it but after beating the poo poo out of Starscream, he just goes yeah you are pretty much useless like Megatron said.
