I wonder if they’ll go with acclaimed producer/director/asshat Uwe Boll?



Really appreciated the detailed review and pictures. Is the game replayable? Looks like there’s only one map?



Huh. That looks neat. Any favorite parts you’d like to share?



Maybe it gets to be more scummy than you want, but how about notifications when you have no activity going? Like when you finish traveling or your inventory fills up.


Just chiming in to say that I enjoy this game. I just noticed accidentally that I can search in the inventory/bank for things other than the names of items, like searching for “carpentry” returns all of the gear and tools that have carpentry bonuses! That’s a really big deal for me because the bank is so full I was keeping notes outside the game on which tools and gear I need for each skill.


Seconding the recommendation. Alyx is the only really amazing experience I’ve had in VR.



All the people are saying it, so it must be true.





That doesn’t mean it can’t ALSO be shovelware. It doesn’t look very good but it seems like it’s at least playable.


That DOES look good! I really appreciate you telling me about it.


It’s the only really compelling VR application I have yet tried.


Alyx was really fun. The first time a soldier reacted to my reaching out and touching them with my controller scared the bejeezus out of me!


I played with the cavern pack (digging out “buildings” like a dwarf) and I didn’t have as big of a problem on that front. The miners and guards would occasionally follow some little crevice and end up dying in lava 5000 blocks away!


Mine Colonies was the only way I could get back into Minecraft. Living in and managing a busy town is much more interesting.



Mine were like $20, so I didn’t expect much. Similar boat, I think.

Does my phone connect to both earbuds individually, or is one the primary and it passes on the audio to the other?


Huh. It never occurred to me to wonder how my earbuds keep in sync.




I haven’t played one since MS-DOS. I’m curious what people recommend!



Yeah I saw those ever since the OG Xbox was current. people love making things like that.


It’s free on google play pass, if you have that. I don’t know if android is the best way to play it, but it was free. shrug


Wow, I remember playing this on newgrounds back in the day.


That all sounds good, thank you for writing it up!


Also worth noting that AFAIK it’s not Barone himself making these releases - it’s a third party company he engaged to do the ports. He doesn’t do the work himself.



Is it recommended to start anywhere in particular on these games? They look like wacky fun. Kinds of Saint’s Row-adjacent?



I guess putting them in the contacts is simpler, and automatically comes up. Presumably it’s one click from the calendar reminder to the contact so you can call/text them.

Dunno, not a big deal either way.


… It never occurred to me to put birthdays in the contacts. I’ve only got recurring events!


The awesome music is most of what I remember.


I haven’t played a racing game since Need for Speed: Underground 2, and before that Carmageddon which probably doesn’t count. I have, though, seen a Group B Audi Quattro like in the thumbnail. It was in a heritage rally and it sounded FANTASTIC.


I would have considered a new console if I could follow the naming convention. this pro and series whatever nonsense is too confusing for someone who isn’t plugged into console generations anymore.
