How the QL thread works:

1) I love these guys!!! Teh funnys!
2) They do something stupid or say something bad about a game people like, pages of complaining about professionalism and how they are bad at games.
3) I love these guys!!! Teh funnys!

I find it very easy to get lost in certain games. I remember Deus Ex had me wandering around not knowing where to go for a lot of the game.

I get lost easily too and that's without trying to engage in a conversation with someone else.

Gemini Rue sale thanks to Giant Bomb's Quick Look. 25% off!

Hello! I'm Dave Gilbert, of Wadjet Eye Games and publisher of Gemini Rue. A few months ago, Gemini Rue was given a quick look by the kind folks on this site. The feature sent a huge influx of traffic our way and we gained a lot of new fans in the process. We are so happy that so many of you guys enjoyed our game, and we always felt a bit bad that we never reached out to thank you sooner. Hopefully later is better than never.

We wanted to offer an exclusive discount coupon to Giant Bomb for those of you who haven't played it yet. From now until June 26th, anyone using the code "RUEBOMB" will receive 25% off the purchase price. You can buy the game off of our website at http://www.wadjeteyegames.com. It will not be available on Steam, unfortunately.

Anyway, I hope this isn't presumptuous of me. Thanks again!

-Dave

Yes. Everything is that black and white.

Giantbomb is directly responsible for discounts on Zojirushi mugs and now niche adventure games. I wonder what's next?

Driving wheels.

i don't think Brad was super terrible in the Zelda QL. that particular dungeon he was in was easy to get lost in. i think Brad should've started from the beginning of the game instead. saved himself some grief.

He wouldn't have been able to show Link getting the Master Sword, though. (spoilers?)

1) I love Vinny and Dave! Teh funnys!!!
2) Why do they let Brad play games again?
3) I like Jeff and Ryan! Teh funnys but less so than Vinny and Dave and sometimes Jeff is completely obsessed with ranting about a game and deliberately stops caring about playing the game properly and only shows the worst parts of the game!
Fixed.

ugh, don't remind me of that quicklook. I was so heartbroken when they started shitting all over it.

Even Jeff was upset about how they handled that, on the bombcast the week following, when he got back from time off.

I vaguely recall this. Do you remember any details of what he said? 'Cause, yeah, weren't they all talking about that game for a good long while and how much they were playing it all the time?

Something like, If I recall correctly, "I'm gone for one week and you guys are talking mess about Altitude". Then he talked a bit about how he thought it was a good game.

Also on Xbox indies for 400points like the first was.

Love the fact the guys are dipping into the steam indies, wish they would do the same for the Xbox ones too now the gems are more common.

Just this week this, a new platformance and TIL came out and are fab.


Oh amazing, I wanted it but didn't want to have to boot my mac into windows just to play, you should tweet at Jeff or something.
 
So I played Solar 2 and I finished it.

I though it was good, but overpriced at nine dollars on Steam. It took me less then an hour to finish it and the planet orbit stuff sould have gone deeper, like galaxies or just bigger stars that could hold more planets.

Three out of Five Stars =P
 
Although Ryan seemed really down on it, I thought it looked totally competent. Fear 2 was crap.

Anyone know if there is any public demo coming? Did a quick google but nothing either way.

Yeah I like the look of it. It got positive impressions from GAF as well. Might bite.
