I went with Florence, the name of that colour and of her character in the book, because I thought the answer would be a bit cheeky.

Played after.

It's also very short and not very good.

Thnxs. I started reading the descriptions and it sounded like prequel lore stuff so I quickly stopped to not get spoiled. Sucks to hear its not good but I'm enjoying the story and characters a lot so I will still do them after finishing it :)

After three and a half years of playing this stupid game, I finally 100% completed Bit.Trip Runner 2. *phew* The stupid Triple Perfect + challenge (which requires you to get 100% on every level on every difficulty and succeed at the end-of-level bonus game, which is basically a coin flip, so look forward to playing each level on every difficulty several times) took me probably literally half of my playtime. I got Hard Perfect in like 6-7 hours, then Triple Perfect in another few hours, and then maybe 13-15 for Triple Perfect + :(

The Humble Monthly would be 10x better if there were leaks or hints on which games are included. I hate complete blind buys so much.

We already know there will be Stardew Valley, an Humble Original with a keyboard, and... I guess... The Day of the Tentacles.

I just looke at Firewatch and The Witness numbers on Steam. Even though they are not same genre i think it is interesting to compare them. Firewatch is now at 420K sold copies and The Witness is at 140K. They both released at the same time but in my opinion price had huge impact on sales for both of those. I still think that The Witness would sold way better if price was 25-30$ instead of 40$.

According to Blow, price didn't impact it much. I'd say the same thing with No Man's Sky. There's a segment of people who price doesn't matter, then there's the segment that buys based on that group's hype, and so forth.

Firewatch was a buggy mess at launch for what it's worth.

I think Firewatch is easier to sell to people than the Witness (all things being equal an adventure game built around an interactive story is a lot broader than a high-minded and complex puzzle game), and it's half the price, and it's had more discounts. I also think Firewatch benefitted more from E3 2015 than The Witness did from being at the PS4 unveil in 1971.

Also for all people complaining about length and value, I actually think there's a large group of people for whom a 3-4 hour game is actually a better value than a 10-12 hour game at the same price, because there's a pretty big enjoyment premium to actually being able to make progress and beat a game when your time is scarcer than your money.

For example, my wife and I played Firewatch together in two sittings. We also played the Witness together, but sorta fell off the wagon after 4-5 sittings. It just comes down to how we structure our time.

I'm feeling like playing lately, so after Sniper Elite V2, I directly jumped on a game I always wanted to play. Batman Arkham Asylum. Been too long of it waiting in my backlog.

Atmosphere is on point. Very dark and tense but still feels like a comic. Voice acting also is superb.
It holds up surprisingly well for an old game. Still in acclimation phase for the camera.

Prerendered cutscenes quality though, eurgh.

I just had a random thought. You have a 21:9 monitor, yes? When you're watching a movie on that do you get the fullest 1080p resolution possible? Is it clearer than a 16:9 monitor because that ratio has black bars on the top and bottom? Do you get what I mean?

Sadly, Astro is no longer with us. But his doofus-es-ness lives on in the form of retrospective appreciation.

Here is a bonus photo of a sea lion that I stumbled upon the other day.

Most 1080p video streams like Blu-rays have the black bars as part of the image. So you'd have to crop those out and then zoom in on the resulting image.

The image would look bigger on the monitor but it wouldn't look better.

Half of Firewatch playtime contributed by losing progress after falling through textures. That was aNNOying.
