Velvet Sundown seems like the type of thing that would be good to play with friends and that's about it, assuming you can find friends that are interested in that type of game to begin with. I think I might have enough that would be, so I'll probably be trying it out with them sometime soon.
I'm glad that people are experimenting and making this kind of weird social game, in any case.
EDIT: Welp, apparently you need to pay for a "premium subscription" for some features as a "trollgate", but that includes being able to play private games. Wonder how long that'll last, since I can't see many people paying for that. At least they're rotating out what's free, I guess.

Twisted Metal 2 is also one of my legit personal favorites of ALL time (played coop with my dad, rose tinted glasses and all that). Combined with being a wrestling and Mortal Kombat fan, and Dan is just hitting all the right notes.

Future Shop cornering the market on vitas. only $599 each
UPS says they delivered it and a 'Steven' signed for it, probably someone on the front desk of CBSi.

Awesome! I hope Rorie's there to see it opened. That's if they film it, of course.

and they don't have their full equipment yet :O
do you find most people actually attempt the objectives?
They all seem so isoteric.
Also are they randomized? Or will the weird russian always start with panties? and that is his one goal? So if you know every character you can win every time?

It's alot.
And it's good.
Hasn't hit Great yet. Not like that Jeff/Vinny Combo.
Flight Club hasn't been duplicated in months, either
What other games are on that list?
Just got into a game where everyone was yelling curse words or saying variants of "abadadbabdabadabdabadab"
The primary objectives, being an undercover agent or a thief, are randomized. I believe each character has a secondary objective that is unique to their character. Malik Ogabe will always attempt to bless and convert others, Shauna Sun Li will try and give autographs and so on. They are basically just another conversation starter and a means to an end, I don't actually think they factor into the end result screen.
It depends a lot, a lot of players are new and don't really understand the full scope, so you can kind of trick them into giving you information for free. That being said, the simple Text to speech and weird accents put in are enough to make this game amazing. I don't actually know how well the game would work if everybody knew exactly what they should do, since there is a lot of possibilities to scam players but simply just not giving them an item, and screwing them out of an entire resource.
It will be anticlimactic if they didn't do a mailbag video, or if it doesn't show up on UPF.

After 90 minutes of Sunset Overdrive Velvet Sundown that game still doesn't make much sense. Vinny's roleplaying and especially his Malik metaphors were incredible though.
That's an OT title right there.

Played some velvet sundown
Game is pretty fun.
I was a balboil agent, and confirmed Shauna was too. We split up. I tricked Boyle into giving me his CID proving he was working for the other side. And then paid Malek 100,000 for the data.
So we blew up the oil rig and won.
I wish it would tell me everyone's end condition as like a wrap up. Would be nice to know who else succeeded/failed. Or is the balboil thing the main condition?
It is fun. Excited to try out other scenarios sometime.

Yeah they definitely need a better resolution/end game screen. The debrief chat is nice but sometimes people just leave instantly
Wow you got really lucky. I was the thief, Jack asked me if I was interested in balboil and he was too so I zapped him, took all his data and then everyone left.
Young Dan Ryckert:
Yeah, it's been like that for a couple of weeks. I should maybe create a topic in the Bugs section of the forum about it.
edit: I made a forum topic.

Haha he looks just the same.
Race The Sun and Infamous: Second errr...Sun.
As for the game: It seemed like everyone roleplayed in my first game. I ended up with no data or attack plans but reached all of my objectives and conspired with a fellow Balboil agant and helped them get the attack plans and the data. In my second match there were a few that broke character and knew the game a little too well and it was less fun plus there was a lot of awful slurs and people typing "PPPPPP"constantly. I managed to end up with both the data and the attack plans in that one though.
All I could think of.

Brad playing with his guinea pigs is adorable.
You're adorable!
To be fair, that was pretty exciting news!
edit: Jeff on Tumblr about Brad hosting the Bombcast from now on:
Makes perfect sense.
In my early teens I frequented newsgroups to exchange episodes of late night talk shows, specifically Late Night with David Letterman, through the mail on VHS. I had a number of first episodes which made it easy to get whatever I wanted. I also had an entire run of The Chevy Chase Show, but that was only 10 episodes so I suppose that's not too impressive.
Anyway, you can be young and be really into that stuff. I loved TV when I was a kid, but despite loving just about every show, I found the industry more fascinating. Now I work in the TV industry and find the video game industry more fascinating...but I follow it enough to know I shouldn't go anywhere near it.

Funny coincidence that he would post this photo now. I actually just confirmed yesterday that a groundhog has ben eating my kale and brussels sprouts (caught him red handed) so I need to go get one of these traps today. Maybe I can borrow Dan's.
