Does Destiny: The Taken King come with the DLC on disc or is it on vouchers?

I beat Policenauts like two days ago. It was okay.
Story's played surprisingly straight for a Kojima game.

All his early stuff is. Snatcher for example is a tight, little Blade Runner rip-off that never wastes your time.

I don't know if I'm liking GBeast's all hands on deck approach to Quick Looks.
I'm saying even compared to Snatcher. Most of the twists are relatively tame and outright obvious in a few cases.

Yeah, in that case I wouldn't know. I was just posting earlier in this very thread that I still need to play Policenauts.
Same.

They should quick look games that are actually good like Stasis and Odallus. Blood Bowl 2 seems neat too.

Played the MM level before watching. Gamepad just about went out a window when I took the door after already taking the pipe. Kind of an awesome level lol
Wonder when/ if they will do a Soma quicklook. I would expect GBeast to cover it, but ever since Brad and Jason did that Until Dawn quicklook, I'm kind of thinking they'd be interested in it as well.
I played a few hours, and it's really cool so far. I'd say it's worth checking out for the story alone(so far). It'd be a shame if they just let it pass by.

i always get super excited whenever i see blood bowl, but then i look into it deeper and realize it isn't actually a sports game.

Here's the trick to Mario Maker levels that is invaluable when it comes to Kaizo fuckery.
No matter what, the end of the level is always in the area you start in, and not the sub-level. If a level is a total asshole and tells you to get into a pipe, just keep going if you can.

Hopefully Mario Maker gets more people to try NSMBU and NSLBU which are full of levels that are actually good!
Going back to play through those in the last few days has shown how limited Mario Maker is at the moment. Really hope they have extensive expansion plans. Still fun at the moment of course, but it could and should be so much more.

man, people really don't know how mario works, huh
watching klepeck not run through the trampolines or throw the galoomba from the pipe for ten minutes is driving me nuts

Yeah well I'm just going to put the correct path in a pipe right at the start.
Seems like a thing Nintendo could and should easily build on. They seem to be more open to that sort of thing these days pleasingly (Mario Kart 8, Splatoon).
I'm a big fan of it actually. They all work well together. It's like having a mini-beastcast every Quick Look.

I was just happy he found the feather. Not that he used it much. I wonder what Dan thinks about the guy who bought the trampoline into the death trap, allowing him to escape with the invincibility of the star.
Watching that last mario maker video I realized how little I know about playing mario.

AHHHH! My head! It's not as a headscratcher than the thing that Kinda Funny tried to figure out: Princess Peach (also known as Princess Toadstool) is often shown as the ruler of the land. If she's in charge, why is she not Queen. If she's holding the throne until the rightful ruler returns, where are they. Also, apparently she has toad ancestry. Yikes! So, could she and Toad be related somehow!...... Or something along those lines. They went real deep.
Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia article on her:

I'm watching Patrick tackle the level now and it's amazing that this mess is seemingly so masterfully designed in spots.
It's like the opposite of Cosmo's level, but equally as brilliant. Well, nearly.

I can't believe Galoombas are actually a thing.
That's really dumb
That's really dumb
That stuff I could forgive but I was shaking my head at the screen when he seemingly didnt know to crouch jump to try and hit the invisible blocks in the sub level
like cmon dawg, this is mario 101
Apropos of nothing I wonder if there's anything to a wrestling game concept which is about kayfabe. Where the goal of your match is to play your role or try and get over or build fan hype for your personal brand in such a way that you can do backroom deals or exert more power over storylines or sell merch or something. I mean every wrestling game buys into kayfabe and treats it more like an actual fight, which okay fair enough, that's what wrestling runs on; but real wrestling has this metalayer to it which the games never touch on and I've always felt that's the most fascinating part.

This is exactly how Jeff feels. Think he went into it on one of the WWE quicklooks?
death of the author sucka!
Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
Death of the author is basically about how authorial intent is dead once the author released their work for independent interpretation.
Jeff has said this before but yeah. It would be the way I would prefer a wrestling game if someone could put the many pieces needed to make it work together. Until then I'm stuck with TEW '13 simulating my booking.
I think if 2K ever figured out a way to merge the old GM mode with Universe mode and the old create-a-story they'd have something special.
Booking stuff. Not letting your stories/wrestlers gimmicks go stale and your cards have to have a good flow to them. Build to PPVs and you have to perform the matches yourself. Chemistry between wrestlers. Star ratings for matches and a TV rating system / PPV buy rates / Money made / Contract negotiating / Crowd reaction. There would have to be so many features and mechanics at play that I doubt it could ever be done properly or even appeal to enough people to where it would be worth the cost to make it.
In a dream world this game has all of the indies and maybe NJPW in it so you could pull from those rosters and compete. Fully editable as to change there gimmicks as you see fit as well make and develop your own custom "homegrown" stars. Maybe an overarching WWE-like corporation or two to battle against once you get your promotion up to that big of a status. I'm daydreaming here now but it's a beautiful place.

Giant Bomb Makes Mario followed by Patrick Klepek Mario Makers is some great stuff.
Can't believe how well the Bowser placement worked out. It's downright magical.

did patrick even talk about authorial intent? i skipped some parts, but all i saw was him describing the level and strategies.
i remember he brought it up at somepoint but I forgot what he said about it

30 minutes in and he's made him general design musings, but nothing directly attributing it to Dan or GB's ace design team. Can't blame him for thinking hard on it's design--the level itself has a bunch of design coincidences that make it seem a lot deeper and more thoughtfully planned out than it really was.
I call it the DotA Effect.
If the GB level does nothing else, it gives people time to think.
Good choices, these games especially slipped under the radar for some reason.

This sort of reminds me of Chroma Squad in a way. Each "episode" has specific objectives you're supposed to achieve. Maybe such a wrestling game could incorporate goals like that, including some negative goals like "get powerbombed three times" or something.
Mothereffer, I played Extreme Warfare Revenge back at version 2.0 and on.

THIS is a wrestling simulator. Fucking creative control clauses.
I'd kill to see one of the duders try to manage a GB-themed promotion for some UPF segment.

This wrestling talk just made me realise how much I miss Gang Beasts coverage.
Hrm.
Hrm.
I don't blame him for the poor showing. All his players seemed crappier than Alex's.
Is this new news or am I really late on noticing this?!
Loooooooooool
Good that he's making one more try at it. If he can't get past this time I think he should just cheat.
Yeah, I'd rather have him cheat through the game than not beat it.
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
