I couldn't even believe what I was seeing. Vinny is a miracle of the universe.
I wonder if people have already made player contracts for those runs. You couldn't include the wild card but you could just enforce it on yourself.
Brad's pulls made me so mad
that he couldn't even get Novikov. All he fucking had to do was walk 3 steps, get the rat poison and recipe, and be a little patient.
Brad is actually better at talking about games than playing them.
Someone mentioned earlier that you can already do their contracts on PC.

Another post about Vinny's Hitman run.
It just keeps getting better. Its art. Messy, messy art.

He should just keep playing Hitman for his home streams. Altho, I asked him to also play Dead Rising 4 because I wanna see what crazy shit he does in that game too.
Vinny and Open World games is the best.
Remember when he shot that dog in GTAV?
also everything in Sleeping Dogs was pure gold.
Vinny completely broke FC4 during the introduction sequence which was hilarious.

There's a really fantastic fever dream quality to it. Everything follows its own broken logic.

I would love a GBE play date of ffxv, just so I can see vinny's reaction to Dino.

Fellow players of The Witness, is this correct (the far-right one I did in paint)? The prior puzzles are included because this line of puzzles stack elements so you have to account for them.

Ugh... I want to play The Witness so bad. And Doom. I need to find a way to not get motion sickness from first person games.

I imagine The Witness would be a helluva lot easier to play for you than Doom. Most of the game is spent standing still.

I actually bought The Witness at launch. I could not play for more than 15 minutes without getting ill. It gave me the quickest and most intense motion sickness. No other game has done it that quickly and that intensely. The Doom demo was sorta close but not as bad.

Damn, that sucks. Must be a bummer to be that sensitive to first-person games.
I think people requested a patch to help with motion sickness sickness because of it. I don't remember if it's been added since release.
Edit: apparently, they patched it to alleviate motion sickness issues.

I would have bought the witness but there wasn't enough anime in it.
The Witness is to date the only thing to ever give me motion sickness.
Something was just fuuuuucked about that game and I really don't know why.
I played for an hour and then went to throw up.
Tried it again the next day and hurled again.
A shame since I enjoyed that hour despite feeling awful.

It does. Inconsistent framerates can be a bother for me as well. I was super worried about getting into vr until I could try it to verify that I was not buying an $800 motion sickness inducing paperweight.
I read that they patched it a while ago but I don't know if I can refund the same game twice on Steam for motion sickness reasons.

Fuck it. I'm going to run to the store and try the ginger candy/root thing. I've never tried that and I really want to play Doom and The Witness. I'll download the Doom demo again and see if it works.

Let us know! I'm very curious about that kind of remedy since I occasionally have issues playing VR stuff.
The Witness was a game that made me feel real stupid and real smart all at the same time. I ending up putting it down earlier this year for another game and never went back to it, which means I'll probably never finish the game. The great thing was It had just a simple design and a level of complexity that could easily rack your brains for hours or days at a time, but every time you figured out a puzzle or an area, you got this crazy sense of accomplishment that no other puzzle game has ever given me.
The Paul Barnett's Six Games of 2016 podcast is exellent for anyone interested in the perspective of the business side and games making side of gaming.
Really fun to listen to him talk about what he thought were important games last year, rather than the best ones and lots of inside baseball.
he also almost explains why there's no bad company 2. .

Drew & Dan talked about it on a bombcast this year. That there is something you could wear that helps with motion sickness if I'm not mistaken, don't know what it is though.
Probably a bit too puzzly for me from the gameplay I saw. I feel like the Portal series was the perfect mix for me.
I like Waypoint, and while I disagree on many things, their take on things is certainly interested.
Their Podcast is very good, but their website content need a very editorial cleanup. I didn't even know they did fanfic until I read it here.
Also I hated Witness. Very much hated it. I was enjoying the puzzles and was looking forward to the end until I realised the game was up tits own ass The ending made me just infuriated

They don't, it's just an eccentric GOTY format.

I think it's called seaband. I don't usually listen to the podcasts though.
Will do. I picked up some candy and some ginger ale.
Isn't there a millennial OT in off topic

This podcast is pretty amazing. The story of how a two word tweet by Jeff almost killed a noteworthy game is pretty nuts.

I only had a little bit left of the demo but the ginger candy seemed to help. I could feel myself being on the verge of sickness. I need to do some more experimenting.
does the demo have the motion sickness fixes patched in?

That E3 old aquaintance video had the E3 2005 article linked in the wiki below the video. http://www.giantbomb.com/e3-2005/3015-3437/ I clicked on it and in that wiki entry it said that the "First Appearance" of E3 2005 was in a 1992 SNES RPG called Romancing Saga... I'm sure it's probably just a mistake, but it made me chuckle.

What platform are you playing on? Do you happen to have a Vita? A friend of mine who has the same issue was able to play through the Witness with no motion sickness by playing on the Vita.
