I just want to say, Real Lives 2010 is the best game I've played in the last two months. It might even be better than X-com.

When Jake was talking about the lean mechanic in Dishonored and mentioned that he didn't really feel safe and assured that he was truly out of sight, I was reminded of my experience I had trying to stealth my way through in Crysis 2 (Of all games!) and the similar experience I had with their cover/lean mechanic.
Then the Thumbs then continued on to ponder what that must have looked like from the eyes of a third person.
Like-a-this:
This is why we can have nice things.

I don't find that funny at all, but it is fucking awesomeHere's another, unrelated but equally hilarious, .GIF I made from the crazy world of Lolsis 2:

You know, dumb question, but did the Thumbs ever talk about Katawa Shoujo?
Yeah, while (from reading the Wikipedia page) 999 seems like something that does focus on a restricted environment so as to allow for more detail, it would be quite different to, say, Last Express where you have ambient/background things happening all the time that I doubt could be portrayed on a handheld. At least, a cartridge-based one.I've gotten the impression that Thumbs crew wouldn't be too interested in games that put so much focus on written story with little gameplay, especially anime dating sims. Doesn't seem like their thing at all.

I suppose VLR is more "videogamey" anyway. lolI think 999/VLR would be more their wheelhouse. Although seeing them talk about KS on their bookcast (or in the style of their bookcast) would be completely hilarious.
That's a bigger discussion, but it's why I wanted a Chris Remo/Christian Nutt cast back when everyone was still in the press and whatnot. It would have been interesting to have two contrasting cultural "tastes" on the same show, because usually people who like Japanese stuff don't do American games and vice versa.Though a discussion that includes the odd Japanese-focused game or two would be pretty sweet. Especially overly (wacky and) Japanese ones like Catherine.

Yeah, I definitely don't dislike anything they're doing (or have ever done) but if there's one thing I can think of that's missing (content-wise) if pressed, it's that the show (even though it's organic and never a point) almost exclusively discusses western games.That's a bigger discussion, but it's why I wanted a Chris Remo/Christian Nutt cast back when everyone was still in the press and whatnot.

Perhaps that's because Japanese developers generally aren't that open when talking about games either pre or post-release, or when Japanese games get released, the less-niche ones (ie. not JRPGs or the "hard" Japanese stuff) are rarely promoted or pushed in the US to the point of widespread knowledge. Tokyo Jungle (and Catherine to an extent) was lucky in that regard because of the strong word-of-mouth on forums.
But hell, maybe there just aren't enough widely-known Japanese games coming out that are worthy of discussion? I'm thinking games along the lines of Vanquish, Lollipop Chainsaw, MGS... none come to mind immediately as blockbusters or even well-known franchises that have been released in the last few months.
Well, in the same way that the Real Lives discussion was awesome, I think it'd be interesting to hear the same kind of conversation applied to the more obtuse Japanese games.Yeah, I definitely don't dislike anything they're doing (or have ever done) but if there's one thing I can think of that's missing (content-wise) if pressed, it's that the show (even though it's organic and never a point) almost exclusively discusses western games.

Yeah, I remember asking you about this ages ago when you were both at Gamasutra. I think I called the hypothetical show "Remo's Nutts" or something silly like that. lolI sat next to Christian two jobs ago and I miss talking with him regularly. Our taste is so completely different in a lot of ways, but I think we shared enough of a certain sensibility that it allowed us to find the anchor to have good conversations around.
Love Plus or Katawa Shoujo? lolI don't know if I want to see {hear} that ;___;
I just read the description of this game. It's uh.... an interesting premise. It would be cool to have it on a random Saturday stream.Also, please do Katawa Shoujo. I'll pay you money via another Kickstarter if you guys play it!
