Nidhogg 2 looks amazingly beautiful.

I think it's pretty telling that the best VR stuff so far is not games. Tiltbrush, Google Earth, this Oculus sculpting thing... that's where the real potential of VR is. Rather than just as a way to play games in a more "immersive" way. I think the big VR manufacturers really would do best to get this stuff out of the "gaming niche" in terms of broader perception.
Edit: Okay, Super Hot is pretty sweet though.

I think the characters in Nidhogg 2 are still ugly (in an unappealing as opposed to endearing way) but I fell in love with some of the environmental art during that segment, I'm all aboard.
And I agree that the simplicity and snappiness of Nidhogg 1 was great, but I also don't feel like I need another game of that. I'm cool with them trying something a little different.

Came here to post the same thing. Still a top 10 GB video for me.

MGSV actually plays well though. But yeah, similarly messy stories.
Russia runs America now so it's probably fine
Goddamn it
It already is

It has ReVive support. I am tempted to try it out on the Vive.

Watching UPF. Vinny gave away the GOTY. "I found I really like throwing stuff this year." Alex: "Yeah, it was a great year for throwing things."

It's Jeff's contrarianism kicking up again like with Popplio.

I've been thinking that for a while, like with virual tours for real estate or hotel rooms and the like. That framerate issue plus the stalled, stilted movement is still holding games back.

I want to believe
Drew already gave subliminal messages during the Beastcast to the effect that SuperHot won.
As a matter of fact, I got the prescription for 30 pills and only ever needed one (I switched to Tylenols already) so.....yeah....lol

I'm ok with super hot being GOTY as long as it doesn't push The Witness out of the top 3.

I was thinking Hitman...
Those indie hipster #influencers and their indie agenda. That Jeff guy is so pretentious, I hear he doesn't even like Oreos with that weird American Cheese Spray.
Start selling them shits kid

I kinda liked it at first, but it was far more puzzle game-y than I expected or wanted. What felt super cool at first became very rote very quickly due to the high degree of memorization required to pass the levels. I refunded it before my 2 hours were up.

No, I don't think they grow wild in North America. As a kid in the early 90s our school would make us sell fabric poppies for Armistice Day or something but I'm not sure that's been a thing in like 20 years.
I would be okay with Space Trucker being GOTY if The Witness doesn't touch the top 10.

Vinny's laugh will forever be in my mind and in my heart.
Seriously you can make some solid cash off that shit.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
WWI is not really taught, other than the basics of the alliance system, the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, trenches and stalemates, and that we got into the war pretty late.
Our losses weren't that big, so it doesn't have quite the emotional impact. But if you study more economic history, the wealth transfer from Europe and largely from the financial center changing from London to New York is huge.

I put on the 2015 podcasts just to hear the jazzy tune.
