Looking forward to the Darkened Skye run, that game is such a delightful mess that takes the concept of Skittles as a core gameplay item like 95%+ seriously.

Liz did say yesterday that it probably should've belonged to the Awful block, so I'm looking forward to it.

Its a treat(no pun intended), if I remember right, it used elements of some Skittles ad as the core element of the plot and even bits and pieces of said ad in some cutscenes to boot.

EDIT: ^^^^ goddammit :negative:

I love GDQ. LOOOOOOVE it.

That being said, holy poo poo am I over the faux "oh, what's this area here? Nothing bad could possibly happen here, could it?". Switch 'area' out for 'enemy', 'room', 'encounter'...

I know commentary is impromptu and on-the-fly, and I'll put up with every stupid 'ORB' or 'HYYYYYPE' yell, but goddamn, guys, stop doing this. It's never funny.

Still love GDQ, though.

Sort of, but still people prepare for their own run (usually the only one in the event, or first time ever) and don't necessarily watch the events as much to see the trope is sorta done. It's different for us viewers (donate the viewer, kill the viewer) who watch similar runs a lot.

I never bother to read the chat for longer than it takes to fullscreen the video and hide it. It's always either awful, or moving too fast to read.

A long time ago I had a blender and I loved to just get some vanilla ice cream, a bag of skittles and a little bit of milk and just make a thick skittle shake.

I could totally go for that right now.

What was mentioned before about the box having no references to Skittles is true. I remember reading about the game being a blatant example of product placement at the time it came out, so I went out looking for it and was confused that the box was just generic fantasy stuff and wondering if I was even looking at the right game. I do wonder if there's an interesting story to be told about this game's development.

Its title character is a young woman named Skye who lives in a fantasy realm searching for her mother. She does not use firearms, but can perform magic using Skittles candies, as well as use her staff as a melee weapon, though it also becomes an energy weapon when used in conjunction with the Skittles.
