I forget if this was posted in this thread, but much-anticipated game by the Skullgirls devs, Indivisible, is getting 3 minutes worth of animated cutscenes/intro done by Studio Trigger. They're the animation studio who did Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, a bunch of various shorts and such, and is made up of mostly animators from Gainax who did stuff like Gurren Lagann and FLCL. Yoh Yoshinari, one of the best animators in the industry(and noted Westaboo) is heading the project for the Indivisible animations.

You can still back Indivisible if you'd like(links in the video description), as they're still working towards stretch goals such as full voice acting and stuff. There's a fully playable alpha demo to test it out, too.

Totally unrelated to the current discussion, I just learned about Bonesaw being banned from running at AGDQ/SGDQ next year and man, that kind of sucks. He was super entertaining. He probably shouldn't have encouraged the viewers to spam Air Canada on Twitter, though.

He himself is fine with it, the whole ban is more or less a courtesy thing where the GDQ staff know it was an entertaining trainwreck but they don't want to encourage that kind of behavior even if it was hilarious

I couldn't finish The Witness, some of the puzzle gimmicks were way too obtuse for me.

I didn't play The Witness, but I bought it for my girlfriend and watched her play it because I'm awful at puzzles and she loves them.

We both laughed our asses off at the "sit here and watch this video for a loving hour to trace this optional line." I respect the hell out of that. It's hilarious. That, and the one optional environment line where you have to (I'll go ahead and spoiler tag this one) send your boat around the island and sit there and wait for it so that the boat can "carry" your cursor across the gap was beautiful. It's a crazy game that I love but could never play myself.

I guess the run got too rowdy. I think it was at like 2 AM. He and the couch kept making jokes about actors after being told not to, a couple times during the run he muttered swears. It was a fun run, and the audience messing with him by clapping was great. The stuff I quoted above was a pastebin he linked on his Twitter (because it was too long). Oh, he also told people to tweet at Air Canada, probably without realizing just how many people watching were stupid enough to spam them.

e: Actually it was at 11PM.

Wait, what's wrong with joking about actors?

I haven't paid much attention to GDQ lately. Are they trying to be "just about games" and very serious about it or something?

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


More Ground Zeroes thoughts: it's a real letdown that there's no non-retro Solid Snake skin in Deja Vu, and it sucks that Jamais Vu is so back-loaded with combat, since identifying Snatchers and sparing humans is really fun, as is sneaking around with a character who has superhuman speed.

IGround Zeroes cost too much at the time of release for what you got, but I still find the missions fun to play through now and again. Getting S ranks was a fun challenge, and after that you start playing around with the system and putting every prisoner and combatant into the chopper. I think once you get it down, you can fly through the Jamais Vu mission in like three minutes or less. Raiden is a speedy man.

I would have been mad if I had paid more than $10 for Ground Zeroes, I think. But I got it for free on PSN, which was awesome.

I used to think that live speedrunning was way better than tool-assisted because of the crazy amount of skill it took, but but now that speedrunners are all trying to put themselves in the spotlight and become personalities and entertainers I love TAS way more because a clever and concise video showing something crazy and explaining how they did it is so much better than hours of a bunch of dudes on a couch trying to make jokes.

Got around to playing Sunless Sea. I like it muchly.

I'm still on my first dude, it's been around 10 hours, and I'm pretty well-equipped. I expected death to be more frequent: I've heard the game described on podcasts as a being very punishing, so either I'm good/lucky or they're wrong.

Or maybe I have self-control.

The decline in sales for PaRappa 2 in regards to PaRappa 1 caused Sony to never again have noodles as a major story factor in their games. From that point on noodles were contraband.

I remember when Blockbuster didn't include manuals and just had some guy type up the controls and plot or whatever for an insert in the back of the box. That seemed like a cool job when I was a kid.
