Danielle, I believe you were thinking of the sour patch kids game, World Gone Sour http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-ex-world-gone-sour/2300-5829/ Adam Boyes has come a long way

Idle Thumbs 176: The Classic Alien Form
Marquis replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
If the goal is to mature the critical ability of the society at large, but with the caveat of existing inside of late capitalism, then the Warner Brothers solution of preserving and distributing media from a gross past with the "hey, this is from an ideologically fucked up era, so keep that in mind" preamble is probably as good as we're going to get. I'd prefer the full archives be free and available online under public commons, but whatever, the fight for open access to historical materials is the concern of the public, not the businesses that hold the rights. -

Some sort of... hot wire touched to a petri dish of questionably human blood test.

It's well worth reading his writings and the history of his country over the course of his chairmanship, but to be fair, pretty much all of Chinese history is really interesting. His tone is definitely "firm" but I guess it's just never phased me. Your mileage may vary, it seems!

In regards to Jake's thoughts on the divisiveness of modern social issues among groups of friends, and how folks used to be more permissive: I thought I should share one of my absolute favorite pieces by Mao circa 1937, criticizing said western/liberal politeness and permissiveness. I think it gives a pretty cool historic context. https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_03.htm I totally understand why some people disagree with the divisiveness of the growing "call out culture" in which leftists shout down oppressive shit and cause a bunch of friction. I just think that an increasingly ugly world demands sharp and disciplined action, even if it costs us some peace and quiet.

Just popping in to say that I really enjoyed the 'cast. I'm still working out solutions on how to tackle injustice through my (art)work but it's super valuable hearing you guys talk through some of it. Keep up the good work and I love you all

Played the holy hell out of this back when it was released as part of the Humble Mojam Bundle under the name Wasteland Kings, picked it up on Early Access, and yet still remain absolutely terrible at playing it. I don't really mind, though, given how stunning it looks and sounds. I have to give serious props to them for dedicating so much time and effort to streaming and answering questions from the public, too. Turning something as regularly toxic as twitch.tv chat into an educational forum is a fucking astounding achievement

Idle Thumbs 166: Cyberpunk Cop-Killer
Marquis replied to Chris's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
Just posting to say I'm really grateful to be able to share in the experience of Sean's ultimate dream episode. -
Now that's what I call video games!

Oh god, this really is wonderful

Weirdly enough, I've been thinking a lot about the role of static traditional artwork in 3D games. It seems like technology is finally at a point where assets like framed art on a wall could actually be rendered in high enough resolution to do it justice. Then again, I'm a complete fucking freak for detail. haha today's work in progress is probably a good enough example:

Dot Gobbler fan art now exists. You're welcome.

Happy Dot Gobbler Halloween (work in progress)

PC Accelerator gets down and dirty with the crew behind the next gen Blops killer "It's bonkers," says hot shot dev and Epic Mickey creator Sean Vanaman. "Absolutely bonkers." -

Jake put up a really good fight, but you finally got him in a team of lords. Good work, and well fought. -
My friends like to remind me that it's not REAL work, but I'm a fine artist for a living and that seems to encompass everything. I consume a good bit of music, podcasts, and audiobooks, but have absolutely no time for any sort of media that requires visual attention. I check in every now and then, and luckily everything on tv and in movie theaters seems to be total shit, so I'm not really too torn up about it

Another small mixed media painting, up for donation on Summer Games Done Quick
-
Oh shit, cool, there's an art thread Here's one of the pieces I'm donating to the Summer Games Done Quick speedrun charity marathon thing that's coming up. Colored pencil and ink layered between a crapload of clear gesso, on wood. Love me some fluorescent colors...

Oooooh daaamn, Moonbase Commander is a paltry three american dollars on Good Office Games

Oh god, seeing the Oculus VR logo at the end of the teaser might be the scariest part of the whole thing.

I can't invest the time that actually playing Dota would require, but as an artist that likes to hear Sean excitedly explain inexplicable LoMa shit while I paint, this is scratching the meanest itch. Really do need to get back to that gaynor/klepek scoops diptych though...

I was planning on making an account only once I'd made it through all the episodes, but I'm jumping the gun by a couple weeks. Plus, who knows, the band Hoobastank might register before me and I'd lose out on this sick name
