Not to go off topic, but i agree with you. It makes me really sad he's not famous. Such an amazing artist. Deserves waaaay more recognition.

I have listened to his new song dozens of times already.
Casualties of Cool 'Mountaintop'

And Ziltoid needs a videogame treatment.

You can also play it with a wheel.

hilarious

 

[wilflare]

urge to build new rig rising, but i want to wait for the 800 series, and whatever is coming after the i7

save the money, save the money
but get the 21:9 screen

 

[zkylon]

Spoiler

This was the first video game ever to make me cry.

don't worry, made me cry too

Spoiler

tho wasn't the first

i don't think it's a really good game tho, cool story, not the right way to tell it

Double Fine confirmed that via Twitter.

my twitter feed is full of argie match stuff so i found out thru dfa update

oh indeed. He's funny, humble and amazingly talented. Such a shame that popular music isn't completely in line with the music Dev creates.

I have been trying to introduce people to his stuff for years and I love seeing when it clicks with them. I blew my voice out doing a bunch of voices and singing for the Universal Choir for Z2 and I didn't even care, I stay hevy for the devy.

Fuck, that's awesome. Z2's going to be overwhelmingly epic, it seems. I wasn't a HUGE fan of ZTO but still... it's Dev. His "lesser" material is still better than lots of other band's entire catalogues.

 

[Milamber]

you have a Devin Townsend avatar. B:AO devs should listen to you.

And more people should listen to Devin's music. He's awesome.

Speaking of Batman and music... I'm more partial to DethKlok myself.

Thank you for the spoiler free thoughts on Valiant Hearts, KevMan. I must admit between your thoughts The Monk, and others, it's getting really hard for me to not break down and just buy the game myself for story alone. Only a lack of funds and a locked out Steam account is preventing me.

I keep seeing the "Guitar Hero" section brought up as being overly long, but how long is really? Does it just feel long or is an actual large amount of time spent on it?

 

[NingenJanai]

Lastly, a confession...

Spoiler

This was the first video game ever to make me cry.

Have you played The Walking Dead?

I made this to try and appeal towards a Ziltoid game but I don't think he's one for the video games so it might have fallen to the wayside.

Can I join the SteamGaf group? I swear I didn't play any of my games.

Have you played The Walking Dead?

First season, yes. Second season, own it but haven't played it yet.

 

[Vazra]

Left side of the head hurts. I should probably sleep...

Take care guys and dont give away games that are or might end on my wishlist!

 

[NingenJanai]

And the first season ending didn't make you cry? It made me.

 

[Rhaknar]

I might buy one with the monster rig next year, I want something to last me another 5+ years like this one has (to be fair this one is still going strong, I run Wolfenstein maxed no problem for example, not the most demanding game but hey, its on the ps4 and xbone at least)

but arent those screens super expensive tho? Think i'd rather just get 2 normal ones

 

[DukeBobby]

Have you played The Walking Dead?

I didn't think it was sad.

Clementine's annoying voice ruined most scenes for me. Still enjoyed it, though.

[Random Painted HIghway]

I'm sure since it is late this will get lost in the thread, but here it is anyway...

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

This sounds really cool, will have to pick it up in the winter. Thanks for the thoughts.

 

[Helmholtz]

And the first season ending didn't make you cry? It made me.

The ending of the first season was the closest a game has ever come to making me cry. I got tearey eyed for sure. And I was actually depressed for a couple days after completing it too. Needless to say it's one of my favorite games of all time now. It's not very often I get to have that kind of experience with a video game.
Valiant Hearts sounds like something I might be into based on those impressions.

I ventured into those 21:9 screen threads... I regret going in
but I think they are around 500? for the very well-recommended LG ones.. and that's pretty good price

and a full 21:9 beats two screens because no bezel!

check the threads out... but I warn ya... the temptation may get too strong to resist

That's an ending i wish i didn't get spoiled(TWD). Feels like an interesting thing to experience.

Duck's voice, and character, is infinitely more annoying than Clem's voice though :|

It's not really one section, but a often recurring gameplay mechanic, that takes maybe

Spoiler

15-20 seconds

each time. The last one in the game is longer though (maybe about

Spoiler

a minute

long?) If you mess up, it takes longer of course, as you have to do it all over again.

 

[Kagemusha]

I want to upgrade from 1440x900 as well but the idea having to change all the configs and settings for 300+ games scares me.

Yeah, but fuck Duck. Nobody gives a shit about Duck. He's irrelevant.

Stupid little prick.

I'm using a three year old ultrabook laptop. You guys are making me feel bad.

Same here. I would say "But GeForce Experience!" but it only detects 20 out of my 160 installed games.

 

[Trellisaze]

Oh man, A New Reckoning is back. At least they cleaned the storefront up from the *first* time it was on Early Access, before Steam made 'em take it off because they screwed up the installation process so much they were giving customers non-Steam workarounds to get the game to even load.

Thankfully, the incredible pitch text's still up on Indie Gala: http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/a-new-reckoning.html

The selected "reviews" for your edification:

“so far the game is fantastic, i hope everyone else can see past the inception like state its in right now and see just how great the game is. i keep playing over and over because of how fun it is. if anyone else is enjoying the game please post here.”
Metalrain300

“looks great so far. cant wait to see a fuctioning main menu + controls setting..”
JewForJesus

Also pls make sure you have the requisite 8 to 16 MB of RAM, with 20 GB of free space to run this game.

 

[Helmholtz]

Sorry to hear it . But yeah, with games (or any medium, really) which are story heavy, spoilers can really detract from the experience. Luckily GAF is a pretty safe place most of the time as long as you browse smart.
I did not at all expect that game to effect me as much as it did. I can usually handle sad movies or books and whatnot. But something about it being a game that I interacted with and spent ~10 hours playing made the conclusion that much more effective.
I'm actually kind of hesitant to play Season 2 because I'm afraid I might not like it as much as S1 and it could retroactively hurt my experience with that first game.

 

[Dingotech]

Why would you change all of them at once?

Just change each one as you actually want to play it, no big deal then.

 

[Milamber]

I'd like to see a 21:9 gaming laptop someday, just for shiggles.

It wasn't something like a "friend" or a comment on the internet that spoiled me. Was listening to a podcast that was talking about Walking Dead in general and they spoiled it. I made the conscious choice of not pausing or skipping the part. Wish i skipped it
But yeah, totally agree with you. Story heavy games really suffer from spoilers.

Never played a CS game before, just installed CS:GO and getting flamed in first game.

No tutorial mode sucks

It's funny, you'd expect the Classic Competitive matches to be even worse than the casual ones - but actually I find that the atmosphere overall is better than in bloated casual matches. So - get a bit of experience until you think you're fairly confident and just queue up for competitive matches. There's still the occasional hater, but definitely not as many as in the casual ones. (+ they're way more fun anyways)

I'm incredibly confused, I clearly remember googling the guys name before and I was getting some crazy metal that I hated, this is so far from that and it sounds great.

Devin used to be the driving force behind Strapping Young Lad, which is about as crazy as it gets. As he moved away from that, got older and started sobering up he's been exploring a lot of great new sounds for himself. Casualties is his exploits into more of a country sound, He did an ambient album called Ghost which was also quite a far-cry from everything else he's done.

He can do whatever he wants, dude's amazing.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

That's the best version of the picture/gif I've ever seen.

It's also giving me a headache. I can make great use of this in the future.

Deponia Complete is totally a buggy mess. Unplayable on PC and it seems like only a matter of time until one of the bugs on Mac is game breaking.

care to elaborate?

He still does that crazy metal too! Really varying stuff, including a CRAZY live show event a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Gwtep2oXw

 

[Atraveller]

Dat wat gif!

 

[Yakkue]

care to elaborate?

He already did:

On PC I was unable to even start because the character would just walk in place and never move. On Mac there have been a few times where I had to save and reload to get out of a never ending loop when trying to enter or exit rooms/buildings.
