Vinny, it's the star of david, not a pentagram.

First "slavic mythology isn't a thing" and now the Star of David worships the devil? God, games journalists just don't know anything about Europe this week!

What's this from? Arma II quick look?Yup, can't believe that they would release a game that allows people to fulfill their fantasy of committing wartime atrocities.
I very much disagree with that
Ditto. I have 40 hours of work that need to be filled with something to listen to and it sure as hell will not be the voices in my head.

I watched that again a few days ago. man that is still like possible top 10 GB videos for me.
I very much disagree with that
fuck yeah long podcasts are the best.
when the podcasts end i have to go back to my inner monologue and thats just not something I ever want to happen.
I've missed the last month of content/podcasts and now too much has piled up for me to go through. What's the noteworthy stuff that I missed? The only thing that I watched a bit of was Breaking Bradborne and I found it really boring. Not nearly as exciting as Brad and Vinny doing Demon's Souls.
Definitely check out the new Beastcast from episode 0. Bombcast has been solid. A Danswers with Paul. Couple entertaining mailbags. Skip all UPF's aside from the latest one (it's really good). That's pretty much it unless there's any QL's that take your fancy. The last month has been a bit light on must-watch content.

Kerbal Space Program and Regency Solitaire Quick Looks. Demo Derby. This week's UPF. The Witcher 3 videos were both pretty good if you're interested in it.
I really hope Westerado goes on sale during the next Steam sale. That QL made it look really fun. 60 Seconds not so much... it strikes me as a game I'd rather see other funny people play, which is why it worked so well as a QL.

Myself, I'm trying to figure out if she's got Polish plaits or not.

Well they don't have time to research properly Megasoum. Too busy on that video series cataloging Adam's latest bowel movements.
I finally gave up on Tested. The podcast is just dull as dishwater these days, the video content is nice and well produced but it's just not for me.

I might be crazy, but wasn't there another video that went up yesterday? I can't seem to find it now... I think it had "classic" or something in the video's title.
After the "It's a website" classic video another one appeared on the frontpage as "GB Classics: Video Thing: Red Alert 3: Uprising"
nothing new

That's the one! Thanks.
I dunno, from the sounds of it Vinny finished it and found it an interesting premise with a flawed execution.
Not sure what more of a chance he could have given it .
A whole lot of style over substance. It seems like they gave it exactly as much of a chance as it deserved to me.

The Massic Chalice QL was a rare instance of a game I was interested in being un-sold by a Quick Look.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Toren looks like a game where the developers though "We can't have gameplay that's fun, it'll detract from the deep message we are conveying."
Sounds like that patented Double Fine touch at work.
Pretty much. It's like the design intent was to make most boring platformer they could,.
Alex is probably my favorite bomber, but he's amazingly bad at strategy games. He pretty much did everything wrong in that quicklook. That said, if you know what you're doing in Massive Chalice, the game is really easy even on the hardest difficulty. There are certain things like stealth that are too easy to exploit, and the enemy AI isn't the brightest.
I don't think Vinny is wrong but it would have been interesting to hear Patrick counter those points.

Counter the points of what? That the premise is interesting and the gameplay is clunky?

That part where someone wrote into the cast looking for an inexpensive but good camera for a holiday, and Norm went ahead and recommended a $700 camera.was a bit shocking for me. What must his salary be if he thinks inexpensive and sub-$1000 matchup?

I totally zoned out once combat started. Would have been nice to have the ruler of House Walker take over and show him how it was done.
An indie game with style over substance. I am shocked.
Tell me more. Perhaps there is some deep emotional story that resonates with one's childhood?
You know for all the complaints about AAA gaming being too cinematic, I sure do seeing a lot of 'narrative focused' indie games out there. Or at least enough that they're getting more attention than uglier games that might actually have some interesting gameplay mechanics.

The Hatred protagonist is the funniest character I've seen in games in a long, long time. I'm almost certain it's intentional.
Competent and non-discordant gameplay mechanics is harder than trying to be deep.
