I need to read this thread more often because I didn't even know about that Monumental Failure game until now and it looks cool
Sweet, congrats! I'll definitely check this out.

12 hours ago, Nappi said:I have never owned a Mario Kart game and only played previous games in the series a couple of times, but I'm excited to get in on that crazy Luigi death stare action. I'm about done with Breath of the Wild too (well, the story and shrines anyway; I will probably still return to it quite often). The only thing that is holding me back a little bit is that I probably wouldn't be able to play local multiplayer that often. I imagine that playing with friends on the same couch is the best way to experience Mario Kart, but is the game still fun when played single player or online?
i'm in a similar boat! Not sure how much local multiplayer I'd actual play.
I do say though, I wish it had come out a week earlier because i was watching my 5 year old niece last weekend and she has a game on her leap pad that is like a edu-tainment version of Mario Kart, i think she would have gotten a kick out of playing some co-op.

It's been freeing being honest with myself, I'm probably not going to play all of these humble bundle games. I don't have very much time to game currently and I think at some point the sheer volume of my backlog was putting me off of starting something. Being able to free myself from the cruft that has built up has been freeing, hah.

2 hours ago, Badfinger said:Looked through the comments, seems like most of the averse reactions are 1) zelda talk and 2) Chris saying soft "G" gifs. I'm personally not tired of people talking about Zelda. I listen to like half a dozen gaming podcasts and if they all talked about Zelda I'd be fine with it, but I understand. Frankly it was more like an Idle Thumbs episode where Brad brought a news sheet and a list of topics than a Bombcast. Keep circulating the soft "G" gifs, too.
Love this comment though.
Hello I am 17 AND A HALF years old and I'm here to share my opinions.
Such a "good" comment hah.
Also, never Jiffs.
I really liked hearing the discussion on the episode about film adaptations, especially since we are in a kind of weird moment where almost all very popular films are adapted from some other source. It's weird to me how many people just want a page-for-page, slavish adaptation of something that they've read just put onto the screen. The real joy of literature is that a good book (to me) is something that uses the written language to convey an experience that couldn't be done in the same way as film (I think that films can do the same thing, and show something that would be very difficult to write). I personally don't find the Harry Potter book series to be very good (which is not a super popular opinion, and I recognize that), and so when it came to the films, the ones that I felt were most successful (see: Prisoner of Azkaban) where the ones where they were able to play a little looser, and adapt the these overly complicated, fussy books into a more emotional and magical filmic world. And I guess I don't understand the argument on the other side? Do people just wanted to be rewarded for reading something carefully, and so they can recognize characters and lines? Like, what is SeventeenAndAHalfYearOld really afraid of when it comes to an adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time? I think that people must just consider books to be like very ornate, wordy film scripts.
So, if we are being honest - my knee jerk reaction is to want something as close to the original as possible. It is literally just "Hey I like that thing, make that thing!". When I think about it though I know that is totally dumb, and I think you (and Jake) are right - it's totaly boring.

Weird, which comments are bumming you out? Maybe they've been removed already, as I only really see positive comments atm?

Any of the thumbs RL players also Giant Bomb premium members? it looks like they are running a tournament.
Currently looking for a 3rd player on Steam:

You start with a flour and water porridge, let it develop into a starter over a week and then you're set. We've not bought bread for several months now and we're very smug about it.
I've mostly been using Dutch language resources so I can't help you much there but there's a crapton of resources out there. A lot of the joy is in the experimentation anyway. Go!
First try came out decently! Crumb is not perfect, but at least it gives me an excuse to try again, hah.

Alright, you've twisted my arm. This seems like my kind of non-sense!

They're the reason handing over the ability to declare the authenticity of a game to the userbase is not a great idea - Crawl is killer!

2 minutes ago, clyde said:And keep in mind this the game was stolen from an Unreal Engine tutorial, repackaged, slightly modified and then sold for actual money.
I don't know if full democratizing curation to the userbase is a great idea (I think Clyde's example of Depression Quest is a great example of a game that could be punished because of certain extremist groups), but there is obviously a lot of malicious garbage out there on steam as well which needs to be addressed.

Steamspy is interesting, was able to quickly find one of these scam games:

335,000 sales at $4, the dev team is walking away with 1 million dollars with stolen assets by a guy who is a known scammer, this is from his other game:

Yeah, my switch is slight cupped on one side, hope it doesn't turn to to be an issue! My left joycon had some issues at first but yeah, like Twig mine seems to have just went away on its own?

Both my wife and I felt the same way about this spoiler.

22 minutes ago, Badfinger said:I watched the GB quick look and I was massively put off by how much everyone is a dick to your character, a boy who saves a woman from assault, because you got in trouble for saving a woman from assault. I guess they were all very stylish assholes. Jeff and Vinny both seemed wildly put off from it as well, but at the end went "YEAH I'M INTO THIS!" in a way I very much was not. Is anyone else feeling this way?
Yeah, I wonder if its explained in more detail later on, I would assume its one of those "he paid off the cops to hide the real story" things - but yeah the tone of that stuff felt a bit weird.

I'd like to recommend a great 2 player boardgame, 7 Wonders: Duel. It is a two player card based strategy game that can be setup and played in ~45 minutes. It really does a good job handling the "feeling" of BEING two adjacent cities competing over a period of time. There isn't a lot of direct interaction, but there is heavy competition for resources which makes the turn-to-turn strategy pretty interesting.
There is a bit of esoteric iconography, but my wife (who isn't really a huge board game fan) was able to pick it up in about 5-10 minutes using the included reference card, and then she destroyed me with her military.

On 4/1/2017 at 4:09 AM, Yasawas said:Some of the background text on buildings and posters is distractingly low-res but that's the only obvious hint to its PS3 lineage I've noticed in the opening hours. It dazzles with style though, so it could be running at 15fps pushing N64esque character models around and I wouldn't notice or care. This will be old news no doubt if you've been following it and watching videos etc but I went in dark and I'm just consistently wowed by the dumbest shit, like the strutting after a battle or how much of a delight it is to scroll through the item menu. This does though make it all the more heartbreaking they've disabled the Share button entirely after the opening 10 minutes of play.
I watched a bit og the Giantbomb quicklook and man, that game definitely as style!
Hope Amazon actually ships me my copy, still pending, boo.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but man Mario Kart 8 Delux is pretty great.
I wish the online features were better, it stinks trying to coordinate groups of friends together currently. Hopefully once Nintendo's online system comes online that will be a little bit easier.
