A new kickstarter by Jackbox Games!

Kinda relevant for this thread, I think?

edit: The Kickstarter video even has a "BEST LOCAL MULTIPLAYER GAME OF THE YEAR - Giant Bomb" quote.

Anybody mind paraphrasing what the kickstarter is for? I can't see the video here right now, but I'd be so interested in anything Jackbox related.

So Luke Smith designed the cover of Dan's new book? I'm guessing that's Bungie's Luke Smith?

No, different Luke Smith. He linked to the artist before on Twitter.

"Episode Duscae" is the most Final Fantasy name I can think of. And here I thought Fabula Nova Crystalis was the pinnacle. It's so Final Fantasy it actually took me a few seconds to realise that Episode is just a normal word.

How about

Dissidia 012 duodecim Final Fantasy: Prologus?

Still way behind Kingdom Hearts when it comes to dumb subtitles though.

I really want to hear more about Jason's 'many scraps' that were referenced on the bombcast.

Famed Final Fantasy composer Oboe Yoyomatsu.

Why does the Behemoth look like Red XIII?

 

[Zaph]

Some of the posts in that bombcast thread... Kinda glad we're not in gaming any more.

Best ones are the posters hamfistedly critiquing personality/intelligence while lacking the self-awareness to appreciate how much more it speaks to their own.

aside from losing one eye, he looks like previous Behemoths. they're using the non-standing variation seen in some of the later games.

FFVII Behemoth

It kind of gave me Griever vibes from 8.

Ah, coincidence then. Thanks!

I enjoy this Wikipedia image of all the KH releases:

What a franchise.

Usually game names in vague Engrish sounds cool (Radiant Silvergun, Chrono Trigger), but KH's subtitles always sounded lame.

Did 358/2 Days even make Kingdom Hearts fever-dream-logic sense? I haven't played any of the portable KH games.

 

[Megasoum]

I tweeted to Jeff and Brad about the fact they are in the Jackbox video (the GB Pull quote) and now I'm having a bunch of Jackbox people favorite my tweet lol

From a story standpoint? It's a bit simpler of a story than, say, DDD, but it's still fairly nonsensical as are most KH games.

No, not the game itself, just the title. Is there a justification for inventing the series of words "Three hundred and fifty eight over two days" other than "It's hard to find things that aren't copyrighted"?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

No, I mean the series of words "Three hundred and fifty eight over two days"

Oooooh. Yeah the title is "three five eight days over two". The game takes place over 358 days, which takes place simultaneously over the two main KH games.

It's just.... a god-awful name that I can't imagine made sense in any language.

I dont know how 358/2 Days was the actual name for a game.



Its the /2 that really makes it dumb so I wonder what the KH fiction meaning of it is.

Edit THANKS! /\

The sad part is that it actually makes more sense than all the other subtitles for the other games. Its still dumb, but kind of clever when you finish the game and understand exactly what they were doing with the name.

Is there some law that says all anime must include an upskirt shot?

Animators gotta make their money some way. Nobody cares about writing or the actual animation.

I helped @DanRyckert edit his new book about anxiety. It’s a really excellent read http://amzn.to/1F3s2RH

Seeing as Justin has been open about struggling with anxiety, this makes perfect sense.

On a GB binge today, watching Ori and the Blind Forest QL.

Dan is killing me. "You die already, Brad? You suck at this." had me rolling.

Yeah, it's one of those things where I understand that Atari probably has the law on their side, but come the fuck on now. I get it, but Atari can still fuck off.

This troll in the Book of Unwritten Tales QL is pretty fucking cool. Seems like a nice game, but there's just too many games to play right now.

Great stuff!

Stuff like "Duscae" doesn't bother me. It's got nothing on pure nonsense engrish like Infinite Undiscovery, another banger from Square Enix.

this was a top selling game in japan last week:

[PSP] Uta no Prince-Sama: All Star After Secret # <ADV> (Broccoli) {2015.03.12} (¥6.264) - 67.237 / NEW

Just a couple of notes since we're on the topic: What the fuck is All Star After Secret supposed to mean in any language?

and second, that's right you're looking at a PSP game making the top sellers list, in march 2015, selling almost 70k copies.

I'll never understand japan.

haha, it was pretty endearing when I actually played up to that point. lots of nice moments in the game. I was kinda surprised at how much NPCs matter to the story too. very underrated game.

I mean it works on Vita too so it's a fucking huge market

and by huge I mean between the two it's like upwards of 80 million units

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Burn it down, gather the ashes and sacrifice to the Goat Gods, then kill the risen Goat and stuff the ashes down the throat of the goat and cook it, then feed the goat to orphans.

That game is terrifying

Yeah, I remember that being a decent game. Still need to get around to playing the Last Remnant, it's lost in my Steam backlog.
