So Campo Santo is remaking Fable 1? Sick!

Yeah I actually mostly agree with you on this, aperson, but your attitude makes me want to disagree. Chill out. Have a good time! ehehe get it guys cause i'm always the calm voice of reason

I'm the only Twig that matters! Get gone, posers!

That's basically why I got laid off, too, but I still don't think it's fair to assume Levine is The Reason This Has Happened. Not to say that he's innocent, because the likelihood of him having made no contribution to this current situation is basically zero, but that also doesn't mean it's guaranteed that he is The Reason This Has Happened. Unless I missed a post somewhere with some behind-the-scenes information, in which case what I just said could be null and void.

Yeah but as Miyamoto says you can't make a good Mario story without kidnapping Princess Peach! Okay those weren't his exact words, but I do recall some totally suspect answer to the idea of ceasing the damsel trope which was basically: "This is how we've always done it, and we don't want to change. Goodbye!"

Yeah! Fuck Ken Levine! I'm still incredibly conflicted on the whole thing. It is just a shitty situation all around, regardless of ulterior motives, so I guess we can all take solace in feeling shitty about the shitty situation.

Man guys I really liked the combat. D: It's been way too long since I played the game though (the week it launched!) so I can't really come up with any reasons to disagree. THIS MAKES ME MAD! Ah well.

Yeah if you're going to be constantly removing things from the middle of a list, seriously think about using a linked list. It's much faster. But then access time can be much longer on a linked list. TRADE OFFS TRADE OFFS TRADE OFFS! All that said, if the list is guaranteed to be super small there's not really much reason to worry. At a small enough scope, it's all done so fast you'll never notice the difference in speed. Note that super small here could actually be pretty "big" in terms of what you might expect if you're not a programmer. A list with a thousand items has about the same impact as a list with a hundred items. Obviously the bigger list takes longer, but the difference is likely to be negligible. Unless you're constantly SORTING or constantly REMOVING AND ADDING or whatever. And that's just the surface of your efficiency concerns. This is why there are multiple classes teaching this kind of thing when you get a computer science degree! Algorithms is fun! ...I probably made it worse, didn't I? So much for trying to help! Also this... Is only really true if the data you're copying is fast to copy and small to copy. If it's an entire list, that can be super bad. If you're talking a single object, that can be fine. If you're talking an entire list that's very short.... that can be fine. ...Again, it really just depends. Programming is fun!

Yeah, the menu will have a larger version of the bird. There was going to be a pooping effect coming out of the birdbutt, but more and more I'm like it as it is without the poop. I dunno. Maybe we'll try something, just to see how it feels.

YO GUYS THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT MY FLAPPY JAM GAME IS COMING ALONG NICELY I'D SAY?? http://www.twigbits.com/wp-content/uploads/poopybird/2014-02-21/Poopy%20Bird.html (name will probably be changed to Twirly Bird because that's a much better name - thanks BigJKO!! - and, really, is the pooping necessary? (answer is no, no the pooping is NOT necessary)) Next up: rest of the art (made by my friend!), sound effects, actually keeping a score, and a menu (possibly with high score, possibly stored on my website so everyone can compete! O: ).

Well, I was having trouble sleeping already. Guess I'm not sleeping at all tonight.

I guess if that's what you think this is, cool.

Deponia is great. The main character is an unlovable asshole but ....................kind of lovable to me because of that. Definitely got some sexism issues in that game, though. Huge issues. No way to defend it, really.. Stay away stay far away if that bothers you. Edna & Harvey really surprised me. I only played Harvey's New Eyes, but it was really good. A very specific kind of fucked up for the sake of being fucked up kind of humor, though, so YMMV. Uhhh was I supposed to make people want to play these games? I forget. I've been wanting to play Unritten Tales for a while... Maybe I'll grab this.

oh god i i kind of want that to happen now

I already pointed it out, but you once posted that you felt uncomfortable killing Indians in a video game, and similarly for the Vietnam War. What makes those feelings more valid than someone who feels marginalized by different common tropes and tendencies found in video games? Yeah, you could argue that being uncomfortable about killing Indians was the intended feeling, and that being uncomfortable about the amount of sexism in a game is unintended, but think about it. Which is worse? To top it all off, your original post implied that Danielle is less valid as a reviewer because she seeks to make video games a better, more inclusive medium for everyone. Why is someone who wants to see more diversity in video games less valid as a reviewer than someone who doesn't voice those desires? EDIT: I just realized I completely misread your post which makes me a butt. (I missed a single word which made the meaning of the whole sentence COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.) What I said still stands! But is less relevant. So I apologize.

Nah I've played it and do not agree! DKC2 is as mediocre as DKC1, with just-as-awesome music, and with the unfortunate lack of Donkey Kong.

Hey man whatever. He's got a shiny gold vest. He can have any name he wants.

totally your phone Snow: I had never even heard of Cool Kong until now. He is, in fact, pretty fuckin' cool. I'd play a game as that motherfucker right there. Shit yeah. (???)

That's weird because I've never heard of them.

I've never heard of DKC2 and 3. Are you sure you didn't imagine them?

Nobody was ever the star of Donkey Kong anything besides Donkey Kong. Except the new one, where it's obviously Cranky Kong! Arbitrary hatred for extended Kong family ahoy.

I had considered pointing out that you put your joke in the wrong episode thread the first time. Now I'm not sure how to feel, Chris... PS, totally get more Danielle on the podcast. That's twice now she's been great! Out of two times! That's 100% of the time! And I guess that Kasavin guy, too, whoever he is. (Kidding, he's great, too!)

I'm angry with you for misspelling "per se"!!!!!!!!! Oh, come on. He wasn't being hypocritical. He wasn't being willfully ignorant. He just doesn't want to talk about it. Which is a fair enough desire, but unfortunately not one that works in the grand scheme of things. I can say this because I'm guilty of the same thing on occasion. U:

I can answer this one! Because that kind of thing is horrifying to look at. i mean uh hello

I was going to make a dumb comment that Mirror's Edge would be the first and last game I'd try on a treadmill, but now that seems somewhat out of place. Don't leave forever, Sean!
