DLC where you are Jeffery the Skeleton and torment everybody like when the Priest accidentally takes the Jeffery Medicine.

This game is getting all sorts of extremely good coverage and exposure. The number one guy on YouTube even gave it a whirl! Talk about northern exposure! (because he's from a northern country, and has a lot of viewers. bad joke, sorry)

...at least...it'll be exposed to millions of viewers and statistically more than a few of them will pick up the game because it's funny?

...no, wait, I just reached the part with Beth's sign, gently caress everything

PDP is annoying yeah we get it. We all get it. We've all gotten it for years. It is surprising nobody.

What this video IS doing however is showing Roundabout to literal HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people, greatly increasing possible sales for a two person team who barely had enough money to make the game in the first place.

If you're looking at the video and telling Bees/Panzer how sorry you are this had to happen to them I think you are missing the point by a country mile.

hundreds of thousands is actually undershooting it, according to wikipedia he has 30 million subscribers.

If even a fraction of those people are inspired to get this game that's a pretty decent Colbert bump!

but now I feel even more awkward about asking to be credited with my real name as a pedestrian, if he shows the credits on camera

I'm afraid the PDP boogeyman will get me, you see

Oh I know how many subs he has. I aimed to undershoot at the risk of saying "MILLIONS OF VIEWERS!! :supaburn:" and then watch the video peter out around 900k. :v:

Just kinda annoys me because I saw people reply to this video being tweeted out with stuff like "I'm so sorry" when really this is a great thing. Sure he's annoying on camera but that's what people follow him for and they'll eat this up just like any other video he makes.

I'm not expecting Roundabout to suddenly hit Amnesia sales or anything but I can't possibly imagine this doing remotely as much harm as it does good.

He said the game was amazingly fun at the end, has comments disabled and linked everything properly.

It's basically an undeniable win that he did the video regardless of your opinions of him.

Even better! Haven't had the chance to watch it myself because I'm at work so I've just been glancing at twitter for things people have said enough the video. Odd to say I'm interested in watching a PDP video when I get home from work.

This was exactly my thinking when I saw he had made this video. It's excellent exposure to an audience that, I'm betting, would not have known it existed without him.

What the gently caress is up with the game's aspect ratio on this video? Dude gets his facecam right every time, but can't leave the game alone. I'd kinda understand it if it zoomed in dramatically at some point, but goddamn, it's just normal gameplay clips. And 2 and a half minutes of black void at the end?

That's actually some copycat/dupe channel. I think it's trying to leech views? I dunno. Anyhow, the original video doesn't have that blank crap at the end. The dude who ripped the original somehow screwed that up, I think. This is the real one (1.3m views right now).

Further to this, I just tested the game with a friend's generic Chinese Xbox 360 gamepad and it played perfectly fine, so it's something to do with my Horipad. But like I said it works fine in every other game. Weird.

Very, very carefully. It's definitely the hardest mission in the game but if you keep trying you'll get there eventually. Try abusing the shrink powerup to weave in between the circling cars and make judicious use of jumping to position yourself.

Don't worry though you still have to play Desert Limo for 8 hours to actually 100% the game so you're not close at all.

I patched it out of the 100% completion in the 9/22 update because I felt some weird sense of empathy or something.

Also, just pushed a new update! Fixes the audio sliders bug, some crazy PhysX issues that goons reported, and includes a HUGE performance gain for people who were having slowdown issues.

Next week's patch plans: eSports suggestions, more performance improvements for people below min spec, an option to switch to a lower res/faster video player, and hopefully finally putting this AMD 5xxx series bug to rest. Depending on when our next batch of test controllers arrive, maybe also more controller support too. Please keep sending me bugs if you see them!

Jumping is the key for Destruction Derby. Try luring the police cars into the paths of the moving cars, and jump to avoid both types of cars.
