It might be a co-op thing then. Saving often is a good idea anyway because if it does crash, you don't want to lose a lot of progress.
Half an hour, and if you hit the limit again within half an hour of the restriction being lifted then you'll have to wait a full hour.
Now's the time to make a play date with the game that's literally crawling with fun!
"Literally crawling with fun" is probably the least appealing tagline I've heard for anything, ever.
Was Cook Serve Delicious developed by a fellow GAF member or something? Actually made me laugh
Yep.
Chubs
Makes sense then. Thanks for the info
I encountered that one too, but ended up double clicking on his house when I was up near Toni's shop (which is the shortcut to insta-transition) and it teleported me inside. After that I could enter normally for the remainder of the game. Apart from that my experience with Deponia 1 in the complete version was pretty painless. Well except for that pigeon puzzle that is, I had NFI what they were asking me to do there. The cats I could deal with, but those freakin' pigeons. Skip, skip, skip-a-roo!
Despite that, definitely don't regret the miserably low price I paid for it, I've had more enjoyment playing it so far than I get out of most games.
For all I know, that may actually be a quality game.
With that said, the first thought that crossed my mind is this stream of trash is getting out of control.

Kickstarter-funded Yogventures canned, backers given Steam key for another game instead
Yogscast "under no obligation to do anything" but will try "to make this right".
well - this happened, I guess ... lol

It's better than nothing I guess, but somehow I would feel betrayed.
Get a wrist binder or something. I used the one I used to use when I broke my wrist

Nah, I got into PC gaming last year, hated KB/M. I had mostly played on consoles for 15 years so KB/M felt really uncomfortable. I've gotten used to it now, but still prefer controllers for FPSs

There are over a thousand people who funded between 90$ and 750$! Do they get games in that value. And wow at those 2000$, 5000$ and 10000$ backers. Wow.
Is she... is she hot
Did you find your Destiny... yeahhhhh!

Just read a bit more. The guy thinks there might be a keylogger on his PC but he feels that formatting his PC is too much trouble.
No fucks given about account security but no delay in blaming Valve for being unable to access his account for a week.

"As you may have heard, Winterkewl Games have stopped work on Yogventures - but this is actually a good thing,"

People are going to be REALLY mad about this, omg
There is a GAFThread for it: Eurogamer: Yogscast Kickstarter-Funded Game Folds (Oh Boy..)
And yeah, a defense force is already on the prowl.

how can ANYONE defend this is just beyond me O_O
Just wow, that really sucks for the backers.
Yeah, that the pitch was one giant fluff piece written by Yogscast itself only for the company to cast aside the project when it hit turbulence is rather scummy.
From what I have gathered one part are the people that say "It's kickstarter, it's just an investment, if it don't work it don't work" and some are falling for the sad life story of one of devs, who apparently got divorced and fired for working so much on the kickstarter project.
But it was sure worth it:

HOLY CARP!!! O_O
this looks like a shitty Unity game straight out of a beginners' tutorial O_O
There is no money to give back if a project fails, since all money are already spent
You're not "buying" something, you're "donating". Projects can and - how we already seen - will fail and leave people who invested with nothing but pain and suffering.
Yeah and that was months of work. Of enough work that his life suffered. 500.000 Dollar. Making me sick.
Seriously now, who uses DOS in 2014? At least move on to Windows 3.11, I promise GUIs won't hurt you.
No. Kickstarter's Terms of Use that project creators agree to states that if a project cannot be successfully completed then refunds must be given, and backers are free to cite this in any legal proceedings, however Kickstarter itself does nothing to actually help. The FAQ states quite plainly:
wtf m8 u shittin' on yogsast u prolly a scrub lol I swear on me mum I'll knock ya in da gob ya fookin' wanker if you take the piss again

holy cow ... did those people (Winterkewl, I mean) knew ANYTHING about gamedev before they started working on this? 'cause it sure as Hell looks like something that can literally be done in just a couple of days tops .... like seriously O_O
So... video games.
I beat Blood Dragon the other day. Basically Far Cry 3 Neon edition. Lots of amusement to be had. I haven't played a FPS in a bit so it was pretty refreshing. I'm glad the game kept the bow (can I just say how much I fucking love archery in fps games???). Lots of call backs to 80s movies which brought a smile to my face. Took a little less than 7 hours to beat.
I finally got around to starting Dead Space 2 yesterday. I'm going to alternate between this and The Last of Us on PS3. So far it seems to be a worthy follow up to the original. However, magically when I made it to the first shop I had all this gear unlocked already! I guess this is from owning other EA games? So basically all the feeling of progress will be killed but I suppose I don't mind, since I'm mainly playing for the story on this one.

Great game!
Great game!
I feel sick.
Would pre-order.
Not even dogs use DOS in 2014.

Beautiful. As if I needed a reason to never use Kickstarter again, lol. As long as they can't (or won't) enforce finishing and delivering the products that are backed, this shit will keep happening.
George R.R. Martin does!
No wonder his books take 10 years, 8 of them are spent booting his computer.
That impression of a british 12 year old who loves yogscast is so perfect that I think we all know that you actually are a british 12 year old who loves yogscast. Busted!
