Oh hey, btw, new MGS is free for everyone due to what I suspect is an error, but for now people without premium can check it out.

God damn someone needs to define what early access means.

I am not fond of ea so I waited what seemed like forever for Cannon Brawl to reach 1.0 and come officially out of ea. So what did I get for my money? No resolution options - so I either run in a tiny window that cannot be resized or full screen, but there is no aspect ratio support, so it is stretched to fook. Then a couple of hours in I get a crash bug and my save is gone. Go to steam forums to see the developer - seems to be one dude making the game - acknowledging said bug but saying it is not a priority atm. Resolutions were promised months ago.

I know boxed games ship buggy all the time but it is getting so I am reluctant to buy indie stuff at launch when it has had a period of ea - as I no longer believe them.

Could be a bug but there is also an error on the front page making it hard for users on some tablets to log in. So it could be deliberate.

Condolences to Jeff.


I'm happy to see Drew has become better at MGS this ep. Looks like he's finally used to the controls. This bodes well for an MGS2 run.

Who is the voice actor in The Hat Man: Shadow Ward. I know I've heard him somewhere before.

I refuse to believe that that voice actor has done any other voice acting. Must be the dev or something.

Also, the insane asylum is the most tired horror trope, and a bit offensive to people with a mental illness.

Condolences to Jeff and the rest of his family. Losing a loved one is the worst. Dude's had a rough few years; hope the next few are happier for him.
 
Holy shit, it's like the game finally clicked for drew. I didn't even know that using the Nikita was a legit option against wolf, yet Drew went straight to that option just to see if it was even viable. And damn, it was.

He's finally thinking like a man playing a Kojima game, and it was damn enjoyable to watch.

Dan saying he thinks he could escape from a prison or an insane asylum made me laugh out loud. You dont have a chance dan! But i'd like to hear how you'd try.

I dunno, Dan sounds like the exact type of guy who would luck out of whatever situation he's in. Like maybe one of the wardens is an ex-wrestler or something.

Can't wait to get home and watch it. Really been waiting for the well-earned 'click' to happen.

It's very likely that he has in fact escaped from an insane asylum
 
Jeff, I can only say that you and yours' time of grief is on our minds, and we're with you man.

Dont know why. Brad just said it on his twitch stream.

Do GB normally do their charity stream in October? They are also fun. If they had a few more guests then last year it would basically scratch the same itch.



In other Tested news.

Tested: The Stage Show!

Hmm... a live show where people get to breathe the same rarified (and limited) air that Will and Norm will suck out of the room by endlessly talking over each other to be "right" about a topic first? Watching Jamie--in REAL TIME--wanting to be somewhere else? Experiencing Adam presumably coming in late to talk about something cool as Will gets his nose the brownest of brown? Hearing confused whispers from the crowd along the lines of "Who are those kind-of-annoying fast-talking guys? I came to see Adam and Jamie!"

This could be and interesting monorail wreck... or just another Tested thing. And here I was looking forward to Octoberkast. Sheesh!

In game news: if you plug a joystick into the DA-15 port on your IBM compatible PC--followed by a few hours of configuring--you can play games without the keyboard. So freeing! I can lean back on the Davenport, suck down some Tab, and play a tight game of Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon.

Honest question: how many people knew that scene from the Simpsons referencing it before learning about the source?

There are so many pop culture references I knew about second hand through the Simpsons first.
