I’m not the ideogame guy. Not sure what he’s referring to either.

You’re using a very similar type of thinking as that which Ebert used to claim that video games aren’t art. Both terms can’t be consistently applied in such a narrow fashion. Ebert’s mutual exclusion of art and games renders obvious examples of art (plays that feature audience interaction) not art, much like your…

I’m of the opinion that people should be willing to pay as much if not more for indie games than AAA games. I know a AAA game offers more quantitative product, but it doesn’t take the creative risks that many indie games take, it’s a more financially secure business model, and when many people will pay 70 bucks to…

Huh, I'll give it a gander. I want to know more about game development, especially considering that I'm thinking about learning lumberyard. I kind of want to steadily work on developing a game as a related side project to my academic career. I kind of fantasize about making a game that would be my Silmarillion.

Yeah I’m thinking it could potentially be way less than that if the final puzzle of the game, which is relatively exposed could be activated without taking the proper route. I’m actually thinking of fooling around with the underwater glitch, that might be key to a very short run

Well that’s the thing, we haven’t had enough time to see what there are for glitches. Not to spoil anything but if it was an any% run then there’s a decent chance you could find some exploit to get to the end game as soon as you have access to the full island.

I’m thinking of digging into dragons age inquisition. I gave it a shot while I had a lot of dough and was buying games out the wazoo and it’s been sitting in my backlog ever since.

It was such a good feeling the first time a kotaku writer responded to one of my posts. Frankly the comment section is a massive part of what keeps me reading kotaku (until there’s a censorship debate).

I grew up with Gen 1. They aren’t objectively better, nor is my backpack I’ve had since the since gradeschool an objectively good backpack (it’s full of holes), but I love em both cause they’ve always been there with me.

GENWUN REPRESENT!!! Haha I completely recognize that these are my favorite pokemon because they’re the ones I grew up with.

It looks like the reboot’s character design is a little less anime influenced—based solely on this clip.

MINUS THE BEAR!!!! I FORGOT ABOUT MINUS THE BEAR!!!

I knooooow. This was one of those few games where I was sad to be done with it. With most of my favorite games I have this sense of relief that I've finished it and can move onto something else. But the witness left me craving for more of those epiphany producing, cleanly designed Jonathan blow riddles.

Yeah I just did that one last night and had to draw it out. I really liked the ending but now I'm gonna be tired all day cause I stayed up late finishing it.

I’m interested, but I get the feeling that this is gonna be one of those games that really hits it’s stride in the sequel. Plus the witness has set very high expectations with me for how well designed a puzzle should be.

Yeah I think a lot of parents don't want their credit card number saved on the machine for their kid to charge for games when they aren't looking. This is why subscription cards for PSN sell.

Yeah it's a really clever thing to do as an art project—sort of blending art and experiment.

Yeah that’s what I love about it, you bash your head against it, making little to no progress and you have to constantly be trying to look at it from some angle you haven’t thought about yet. Each puzzle is like knowing you’ve forgotten something, but you obviously can’t remember what you’ve forgotten. For some I…

I liked the video but it lacked the passion that keeps me watching the streams. It was very nicely edited and I understand why you wouldn’t want to appear biased on this issue (either appearing too lenient or too judgmental of piracy would’ve caused some flame wars in the comment section), but I’d like some more of…

Yeah dude I was leaving my house this morning and stepped on a lego as I walked across my lawn. “FAAAAAAHHHHEEEEYYY!!!!”
