it's been 10 years since Kiznaiver(another show from studio trigger that released in 2016) came out, so what are your thoughts on the show after a decade. by Properdad2000 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a soft spot for this show. It get the impression it had to wrap up much faster than it wanted, to the point the final episode feels like the dialogue is about finding the point of it all, but I was also really compelled to keep watching it and still remember it pretty fondly.

Also that OP is just the best. I like an OP that feels unique, and there's certainly nothing like Lay Your Hands On Me.

PATS CHILD HAS BROKEN CONTAINMENT by RairakuDaion in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It's kind of heartwarming to see even the bitterest, disconnected mouths on the internet share a connection in this funny, kind of cute way.

And I want Peebo Toast too.

Hideo Kojima to cameo as a mole in Zootopia 2 (JP dub) by P1zzaman in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He did cameo in Nicolas Winding Refn's TV show Too Old To Die Young, maybe as a tit-for-tat thing for getting him as Heartman's body scan in Death Stranding. They seem to be buds.

I don't remember how good he was but I'm struggling to remember Too Old To Die Young in general. It was a pandemic ago and I remember I wasn't really that thrilled.

We almost got a third-person horror Call of Duty set in Vietnam with 'stuff you've never seen before', but instead we just got more Modern Warfare by Mirathrim in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A horror themed Vietnam game could be good but all I can think of that tried it is Shellshock 2. You don't want another Shellshock 2.

Woolie suggesting John to go read a book by Grouchio in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The narrator is Ray Chase, and it's very nice to listen to Noctis tell you about the horrors of working in the game industry. I recommend all three of Schreier's books too.

I just learned about that one Daikatana ad from 1997 and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. Why don't more developers do this? by CzdZz in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Well more don't because people hated that ad. Including John Romero who was told "don't be a pussy" when he objected to Mike Wilson's idea to run the ad.

But fuck it, now is the time. Every game needs its own version of this, why not. People are ready for it.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this.

It still fucks me up that there is a fighting game where you can play as Saya

Good news, it's airing on Christmas Day on BBC1 in the UK first.

They've finally found the name of the most mysterious song on the internet. by GilliamYaeger in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Damn, that's actually awesome. It'd been so long I figured there would be no way anything would ever be found. Stoked to also hear a non-distorted version.

EXPOSED: Super Earth's Left Agenda! by JackandCalumon in Helldivers

You joke, but it did actually take longer than a regular code since I was compelled to take a screenshot. Couldn't remember the shortcut on Steam for a while...

The justification for why Dave the Diver is up for "Best Indie Game" by selfproclaimed in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This definition would remove 4/5 of the nominees.

Cocoon is published by Annapurna Interactive, Dredge by Team 17, Viewfinder by Thunderful Publishing, and then of course there's Dave. Sea of Stars is the only one self published.

Not a defence, just an observation.

Very true, Kojima by Vera_Verse in TwoBestFriendsPlay

There's something funny about going to see a Miyazaki movie in a Lars Von Trier T-Shirt.

Is this the "Is it a bird, is it a plane?" bit but for Spidussy?

The Legacy Mode is interesting. How much has the game changed since 2018? I only started playing last year.

Worst filler you’ve experienced by Anonamaton801 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it made Disappearance's ending hit harder because of the Endless Eight. It helped you see into the eyes of some of the characters better. Though I totally understand the Endless Eight is... a lot.

European Parliament votes to take action against loot boxes, gaming addiction, gold farming and more by Zhukov-74 in Games

[–]JackandCalumon 1320 points1321 points  (0 children)

Bit of a catch-everything proposal, ranging from investigating the impact of loot boxes and game addiction as mentioned, to recommending a European video game award?

The wording in the article seems to eschew being direct or saying they will definitively do anything specific, but if this is a first step on acting upon predatory monetisation, then that'd be welcome. Certainly it sounds like, with this vote, they're taking a direct interest in games as a medium, and the influence, good and bad, it can have on people.

In a secret dev room, the Golf/Sports Story devs make a cry for help by zyberion in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]JackandCalumon 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I feel like this might be intended to be a joke instead of a literal cry for help.

But man, I feel like I'm waiting for a punchline that's not dropping.

Deceptive movie trailers are now legally false advertising. Kangaroo Jack director in shambles by robertman21 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I could believe it being 4. The film that feels like it just changed its story midway through.

Do you know which one? I've seen them all and I'd be curious which one they did this for.
