New Year, New Review Elements. Hopefully, there will be something more than that as a progression comparable to the singing bits.Aeshi said:Fading to the next frame instead of Cutting to it? In my Zero Punctuation?!

It's a popular Australian shooter made of Butterscotch Schnapps and Baileys Irish Cream. One part Schnapps, two parts Baileys.GrumbleGrump said:Okay, I have to ask. What the hell does Yahtzee mean when he refers to a cocksucking cowboy? Is it a type of cider in Australia? I ask this because if there's an ice cream that's named Golden Gaytime, then ther might be something... Else?
It's a shot. Two parts Bailey's, one part Butterscotch schnapps. Probably something I would've considered enjoyable as a teen.GrumbleGrump said:Okay, I have to ask.

They brought on new writers for the story of The Talos Principle (namely, Tom Jubert, who did FTL and The Swapper). It is a wee bit pretentious, but it is actually quite clever and well-written, and pays off on alot of its metaphorical wankery at the end. Croteam only handled the gameplay, I think. It's made on the same engine as Serious Sam 3, which does undercut the serious tone a little (ironically).2xDouble said:I was wondering about this game... on the one hand, it seems so pretentious and full of itself, "super-serial" as it were, and on the other it's by Croteam, who made Serious Sam, and Devolver Digital, who published the likes of Broforce, Hatoful Boyfriend, and Hotline Miami. It actually seems a bit off-kilter for them. Glad to hear it was enjoyable.
If you don't mind or actually enjoy philosophy then you shouldn't find this game 'pretentious' because it sets up and talks about the points it's trying to make very well. The writing was done by the guy who wrote FTL and The Swapper, so Croteam just did the actual game. I haven't actually finished it quite yet so maybe it falls apart at the end but the 10+ hours of lead up has been quite enjoyable.2xDouble said:I was wondering about this game... on the one hand, it seems so pretentious and full of itself, "super-serial" as it were, and on the other it's by Croteam and Devolver Digital who made Serious Sam and published Broforce, respectively.

By the by, Yahtzee, have you played Thomas Was Alone? I would say it shares quite a few similar themes, with the experience of emerging sentience as an AI (via prearranged testing environments) being chiefest among them.
He did the rhyming thing with Jim for about a year. I could picture this happening.ryukage_sama said:I wonder if Yahtzee would consider doing a sort of pub sing podcast. He has all the necessary merits: likes drinking, owns a microphone, likes talking into said microphone.
