I laughed my ass off. Welcome to light speed, my friend. I've been reading that Drew bought a PS4, that's awesome. I wonder what his user is but I bet it'll pop up someday in the PS4 community thing. I still haven't heard the bombcast, saving it for tomorrow but it sounds like an absolute blast.

good. it's too good of a game to be forever shackled to an outdated system.
he recently took the game down a notch, deservedly so, i think
came out at a time when people were starving for that kind of game so it got a lot of passes
it's good, though, no question about that

Oh, thank goodness this is finally happening.
There are so many cool games in that style that I don't think Shadow Complex with a new coat of paint would do it for me.
A proper SC2 though...
Bot Colony is still Early Access? I just finished re-listening to the 2014 GOTY and they jokingly checked to see if Bot Colony was officially released yet and eligible for GOTY.
Man I just remembered about the "Pulling the plug" blog post
This is so gut wrenching. Also those guys are from Montréal and I didn't even knew or heard about them before that post.
Friend linked the best ornament ever.
Another friend confirmed they're sending me one for my birthday hahahaha

Wait, 8 man bombcast????
Holy shit!
Holy shit!
Yep its a great one too.
Podcast for the record books. Not sure if it's better than the one that had that big Gaming Journo conversation & the Chris with the White Car story, but it's damn good.

I just rolled credits on FO4, and I don't understand what Jeff meant in saying it just ended. I loved the ending immensely. A big climactic mission with large combat encounters, some final dialogue bits, a big explosion, a little movie, then you're back at it. Great stuff. Maybe it depends on the faction you sided with?
all day, every day
I miss the skill-based dialogue, I miss the ending tailored to your choices, and I miss it being an RPG. But Fallout was a really fun experience. Easily in my Top 5.

OK guys every year we talk about doing a "goty" awards for giantbomb videos but we never actually do it. I'd like to try and put something together this year but I admittedly have no threadmaking skills and I definitely haven't watched every single thing that GB has put out. If anyone would like to assist shoot me a PM!

2015's 2014 video of the year: Velvet Sundown Quick Look
Something ended up happening, the game is back on the Steam store and they have had a few updates.
edit: Here's the announcement from the store page, the part about selling an e-book on Amazon to get Steam codes out there is kind of hilarious. I wonder if the Paranautical Activity devs thought of that before selling the game.
To all the fans that bought keys directly from myself, or bought the Bot Colony eBook on Amazon to get Steam keys, a big Thank You!
We have assured Valve of our commitment to keep Bot Colony going (we did keep the servers going after all, and the BUY button is back as of today. Your beloved Jimmy - and his cousin Kate - are now busy moonlighting - take a look at www.northsideinc.com - it's kind of neat that the technology powering Bot Colony found its way into other applications, I'm hoping we'll do better with that than we did with Bot Colony. Personally, I still hope to see this game finished, all 12 episodes of it!
We've made a big upgrade in January, the Robot Visual Memories. We plan to make additional upgrades to conversation with robots in the future, but I cannot commit to specific dates. Early Access terms apply - there are no promises of evolution.
We'd be very happy to work with developers interested to take on continued development of Bot Colony on a revenue sharing basis - this makes more sense now as the game seems to have more traction after it 'died' than it had before. If you know any sharp developers, pass the word around.
We have the assets ready for the next 3 - 4 episodes, as you can see from the 30 min video that tells the Bot Colony story using game assets (look for The Story Untold video on the Store page). If our new venture works out, I hope we'll find the money to finance continued development of Bot Colony - that's our heritage and that's how we got into Natural Language Understanding - and it would feel great to finish what we started.
Thank you again!

I thought I had Shadow Complex on Steam but it turns out I just confused it with Alpha Protocol. I don't know anything about either game, honestly.

I hope Shadow Complex Remastered isnt exclusive to the Windows 10 Store.
One is one of the best Metroidvania game and the other one is an alright RPG made by Matt Rorie.

I was about to say "Oh man they put a giant image of your face at the top of that article".... GAF avatars are playing games with my head.

As a Canadian (British English), that misspelling of the word "cancel" is gorgeous.
"Shenmue impossible game not to like" is a pretty great sentence

This is beautiful
I desperately want to believe this website is heartfelt, but something is pulling me back. I wish I had made it.
Also, ever since that "I do no sex" topic a few days ago I've been seeing so much Charlie Kelly-esque writing on the Internet that it's killing me.

You know, the dude is right, though. Shenmue impossible game not to like.

This dude's Twitter is something else. These crazed Shenmue fans I've heard so much about really do exist.
