Nice! Thanks for the hands-on impressions! :tup: I'm so excited about this! Have they mentioned any release dates? Is there a short documentary incoming, like they did with Grim Fandango?

Sweet! If I can play it with everything on classic mode but with the good voice recordings I'll be the happiest person!

Oh for sure. That is probably the only nitpicking I'm going to do from now on. Now I'm just excited to hear and play and enjoy this on all platforms forever!

I'm not a huge fan of the character art. It's definitely loads better than Monkey Island: SE, but it looks a bit too smoothed out like it was drawn then Auto-Traced in Illustrator. And in my head the characters have thicker lines than that. Getting good line art on those characters at that resolution would've been a massive undertaking, though.. The backgrounds I love, though. Only thing that stuck out was this bit of half-finished pixels. Considering the timeframe they're doing this in I'm phenomenally happy with all of this. Again, I may have set my expectations way low, but I'm just happy the characters don't look like this:

This thread is so good. Keep up the good work!

From a Polygon comment, so I don't know whether this is true. That's absolutely brilliant news!

Hadn't thought of that!

Yeah, I'm with Twig. This looks fantastic. Sure, if they had infinite money to spend redoing each character/bg with perfect line art, etc. it could look even better but no way is this *just* a shitty pixel art smooth filter. Anyway, I guess MI:SE set my bar for this kind of thing way low or something because I fucking love this.

I want to press X to start, please.

OMG! http://www.doublefine.com/news/comments/day_of_the_tentacle_remastered_at_indiecade/ I love it!

In exciting news, playing The Dig on my couch using the Steam Controller was a blast! Make sure you setup the controller properly, though.. There's no Steam Overlay, so you have to use the F5 button and press keyboard 'Y' to exit, none of which is of course in the default Keyboard/Mouse controller config.

Weirdly, Portal 2 is one of the few games that just doesn't recognise my Steam Controller through Steam Link. Gonna try it directly on the computer, just to see if it's a Portal 2 problem or a Link problem. Also, running Super Time Force through the Link gives me a mouse cursor in the middle of the screen that I can't remove. Haven't run STF directly on the PC before, so this might not be a Link problem either! But so far, even with my wi-fi issues, I'm really loving the Link + Controller.

I love that American Tail poster, btw. Just wanted to post it!

It's exactly that!

Badfinger, there's a wall between them (no door though) and the extender might be a tiny bit too far from the router itself. I'm trying a new location for the extender later tonight and will then report back!

Very Early Cool Guy BigJKO's Impressions! Steam Link: It's almost useless through Wi-Fi. At least.. my Wi-Fi. I'm in a house, so I'm forced to use a wi-fi extender. So Steam Link works fine, then every 10 minutes it'll just not stream anything (with a stuttering sound) for almost half a minute. I can maybe play something relaxed like Grim Fandango, though it's annoying, but I tried playing Super Time Force and it was impossible. So yeah, I'm going to be getting a Powerline ethnernet thingy so I can hopefully get it hooked up stably. It looks pretty and is small, though! Steam Controller: Everything Lu said, although I haven't tried it extensively because of the Steam Link stuff. Will play some more directly on the PC tonight! The trackpad thingy's feedback is super loud, at least at first. I don't know if it got quieter or if I just got used to it, but it got better.

Yeah, my Steam Link + Controller is supposedly on its way! Exciting!

Do bullet bills break blocks or just go through them?

This is a jolly jam idea!

I would watch the shit out of that stream! Edit: Hmm..

I'm with you. That was a fantastic season finale.

As long as we all agree that Super Mario Sunshine is the best one.

Switching teams (if you also use Slack for work) is a bit of a bother on the iOS app, but other than that it's fine!

Man Dinosaurs and Lacabra, that's some crazy slick stuff both of you!!
