What did you think about WWE Raw 2? Many hours were lost in 4 player local co-op seasons mode. It's a shame most people didn't play it since it was an Xbox exclusive.

I'm surprised they haven't looked at Dragon Quest Heroes. They usually look at Musou games and Dragon Quest is a well known franchise. Hopefully they get to it eventually.
Someone should tweet the crew to play Jotun, it's really neat.
Nice, hope you enjoy it.

Wow, he made a Sherlock Holmes: CD - a like for his Table top show and he hadn't even played the game yet. I was super impressed by that (more so than his already incredible GMing) holiday special. Wishing for one of those for this season
SOMA is damn good. Thanks to those here who recommended it. Looking forward to Vinny and Brad (hopefully) discussing it in the GOTYcasts.
It has some of the most memorable decisions I've ever wrestled with in a game, and not because the game necessarily plays out the butterfly effect of any particular decision, but because they're profound decisions in and of themselves (which is player choice at its best, IMO). Like

whether or not to enable the suicide of the last surviving human being. Fuck, that was heavy. I'd love to hear how Vinny wrestled with that one, especially after hearing him talk about the big decision in the most recent episode of GBE Playdate: LiS. I feel like I share Vinny and Austin's philosophy there, but in SOMA I still couldn't bring myself to kill the last human. The game in general forced me to think about its questions in a way that other media dealing with similar subject matter haven't.

Why look at itch.io when you can look at all the indie visual novels on steam?
there are people who play every single new vn that releases (since they're not that many of them out coming out). even the cheapest, most generic art and zero-point-zero-effort writing are enough to net you a purchase from that group of people
some people truly feel compelled by the power of anime, i suppose (and aren't aware that there are other forms of art that combine image and text in similar fashion?)

Ya know, I've been meaning to make a visual novel...
if i had to put a game out on steam, i know damn well what i'd go for
also look at kickstarters of vns, they reach fucking crazy numbers

Like, new VNs though? The only big ones I'm aware of are already very established VNs with an established fanbase.
I don't see how Austin put so much time into Invisible, Inc. That game is just straight up stressful. Like, I'm about 10 hours in and probably within a few hours of finishing my first run on beginner, but every mission I feel like I just get by through the skin of my teeth and I can't play anymore in that sitting. It's an incredible game and somehow makes turn based stealth seem like the most obvious thing in the world, but everything feels so high stakes.
i mean, a lot of them are localisations of known quantities, granted
but for all intents and purposes, these are new games to the people that play the localisation
point is, there's a very dedicated vn community out there and they willingly take a looooot of the bad with the good

VN's are great.
Really love Muv Luv and Fate/Stay Night myself. Need to give Higurashi a try when all the episodes come out on Steam.

A lot of them already have fan translations though. Plus word of mouth from the usually very vocal fanbase.

If I didn't feel a need to 'keep up' with other releases or deal with backlogged games I could play that game forever I think. So fun coming up with strategies with what you are given

Initialism, not acronym
I seriously googled to find out if 'vn' would be an considered an acronym or something else to prevent this very post. Seems my researched still managed to fail me.

The next Dota client will just be a single HTML form where you enter your credit card number and then a PNG of a hat shows up.
Amount of reviews is my guess. Maybe compare it with Anjin's review stats.Hmm, I wonder what's causing them to lose out on uniques (left is rank in the world according to alexa.com):
I realize page views with ad calls and premium membership are more important, still interested though.
edit: Marino does numbers too: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/marino/blog/by-the-numbers-666-reviews/111203/
There is a correlation to the uniques.
edit2: Haha, I just noticed your graph is MONTHS in 2015. Nevermind!

Even though he disliked the last patch it will still probably be on the list somewhere. Don't know if it will be number 1
for people not versed in dota: an arcana item costs 35 dollars

I, uh, sorta assumed that Sherlock Holmes boardgame was decades old for some reason, so hearing about the expansion in 2016 caught me off guard. Boardgames are so weird.
Also, let it be known that Analogue: A Hate Story is really good; way better than I ever expected going in. (I almost quit playing it initially. Then I went on to get every ending... Yeah.)

I only bought the techies one. After the nerfs I feel like a god damn fool. I really want the zeus one but I also might cave and buy the terror blade arcana aswell

Time to watch that most recent Demo Derby.
I want to make a VN so bad, i swear to god
Actually an interesting concept I always liked was a game called Embric at Wulfhammer Castle, which was basically a VN but instead of just moving from screen to screen it was more like the FF/Zelda top-down view, but you were never fighting things as such and, I eventually worked out, you were just playing a VN. Surprisingly good writing for an RPGMaker project.

I actually do have a pretty interesting idea for a persona-like VN that I want to work on in the future. Need to learn how to work with some of the third party game engines first though.
Let's all just make VNs!

As someone who knows jack shit about Dota 2, are these cosmetic items?

Yes and they are the most expensive ones valve sells on the store. They all cost 35 USD
Yeah, but they almost completely change what the hero looks like. They're pretty cool looking, to be honest.
if you wanna work on a VN, lemme know. i'm up for a collab project.

He could have leveled up a destiny character with that amount of money.
WELCOME BACK BRAD!
With enough left over for 500 silver.
