Coods

Really really enjoyed the second episode, too emotionally drained to say any more than that. Although if anyone else plays it, tell me if your choices show up at the end. My save file seems to be bugging out and i really hope nothing is lost.

here is the corresponding

The way this sparse game information is being leaked through Diet Coda demos and DayZ streams makes this the weirdest ARG ever.

Love the dude who is like "I liked them all about the same", successfully dodging the question all together.

I can't say that the overall quality has declined, I just meant to say that I feel the range of things presented in anime has narrowed a bit. There's still great stuff coming out every year. Codicier basically summed it up; at the core there are still really fascinating ideas and worlds being made in anime, but my frustration is with this surface layer anyway. I don't like how these cool ideas and worlds and themes have to be explored through some sort of overused vocabulary of wacky stuff and fanservice. Although it didn't occur to me that this was the product of less money, which moderates my perspective a bit. I'm generalizing a bunch, sure, but the difference is noticeable to me anyway. IN CONCLUSION, I should suck it up and just watch Kill la Kill, because I hear it's good.

I just rewatched Paranoia Agent for the first time in years, and this is the only place that I could imagine talking about such a thing in the way that I am about to talk about it. Is anyone else aware of how good this show is?!?! As a trend, the "moe" craze encapsulates a lot of aesthetic choices in current shows (ill take a shot in the dark and say it was around the time of haruhi season 1 that it happened), but I think beyond that, it also is the cause for a general shift in the type of stories being told in anime. I can't say that high-school-slice-of-life's are awful, but there's definitely more of them now. Fittingly enough, some of my favorite shows are actually in the late 90s, first half of 2000s range, and the trend continues with Paranoia Agent. It's just incredibly refreshing to watch a nice 13-episode series that deviates from what I perceived in my head to be "the norm". The episodic, Twilight Zone-esque nature of it all is not inherently good or impressive but so unique and well executed that I couldn't help but enjoy some of the more extraneous episodes in the middle. Above all, I'm super blown away by the restraint shown, a quality that I never see anymore.It tackles basically one idea and one idea in many derivations; the scope is narrow but the exploration of that chosen scope is thorough. It's not perfect, but my positive feelings toward it are results of my own boredom with cliches, and the fact that it doesn't majorly forfeit itself to like, hot springs episodes or something. I'm just gonna gush in these spoilers for a bit.

I guess not. In any case, I'm down to play something with Thumbs. Right now I'm still very much into the boring competitive stuff, but I'm down for whatever. If we were to get a competitive team going tho, I'm gold nova 1.

It's novel for like 5 seconds, but I do like the idea of taking a game as difficult as flappy bird and then putting another layer of crazy bullshit difficulty on top of it.

Here's a really extensive RTS tutorial that I've been referencing for various things. It's text! http://stormtek.geek.nz/rts_tutorial/part1.php

This is cool. I'm currently working on a top-down thingy, and hopefully I'll have something presentable in the near future that will be of some interest to you guys.

Man I didn't catch this the first time around, but I love when Jake and Chris just fuse brains for a split second.

What a phenomenal movie.

God, I thought this was some kind of ironic joke until I saw the OP post date and now this is just weird!!! P.S. I remember a garage sale episode being really good.

man, thats a really good sean vanaman skin

Still the best episode of all time

If you mean Sean's Farcry story, then he was referring to the joke after they had already said it a bunch on the podcast. The actual origin of the phrase doesnt seem to be anywhere.

One of the most confusing in fact is "grenade roll down a hill". If I recall, the story behind that phrase is actually never on the podcast. Threw me for a loop

I don't think there is much in the way of formal writeups, but... I went through a huge binge of panels and such after I finished the Walking Dead, so I can tell you that outside Idle Thumbs there is a fairly big collection of Sean and Jake answering questions, talking about design and explaining their process (and also talking to Peter Moleyneux). Also possibly the first Tone Control has some good stuff. I particularly enjoy the . Steve also has a blog where he runs essays about the making of Gone Home, somewhere. Also Chris/Steve are both in the GH ingame dev commentary. Nick Breckon doesn't speak of such things.

With the addition of Chris, I can't wait for the Campo Santo Official Podcast 145.

This was a legitimate request :c

Didn't Chris fart while saying something insightful at some point?

FOX, FD, NO ITEMS SCRUB

Brendon's last day at Pandemic story is excellent.

Well, I do sometimes hop around the competitive scene in my area, if thats what you're implying, but even then I still think every Smash game is still fun, casually or not.

Would it be possible to schedule a time on a saturday or something for all thumbs to get together and play at once? maybe run some minigames or just build a new thing together.
