• 09:24 nah, now it's forbidden => fun!
• 11:09 I had gaming existentialism.
• 11:19 StingRay: STIMMT. We are breaking it.

• 12:24 Don't you think all this "Dark Soul is fucking hard, there is fuzz about it" is gimmick? I play oldschool 8bit games and I scream "Dark Souls my ass!" and I haven't played dark souls yet. Common they have bonfires. In oldschool if you died you died. Permadeath.
• 12:27 new school gaming, in many cases, certainly misses the spirit of having fun

• 12:55 Hi, i woud like to broadcast demos in my neighbourhood cinema but the crew talk to me about the broadcast licence. How does it work with demo? are they Creative Common licence? Or another licence?
• 13:00 some are CC, most are "freeware"

• 13:37 A lot of oldschool games are objectively more difficult than Dark Souls. That isn't always a sign of good game design, though. Dark Souls is difficult but fair, and if you think the difficulty "gimmick" is all it has going for it, you're missing out.
• 13:45 "Oldschool" difficulty in most cases meant "we only have 10 levels so let's stretch them out as long as we can" + "the trainers will make it easier anyway".
• 13:47 Or "let's make this puzzle obtuse beyond cryptic and literally unsolvable so people will have to go out and buy an issue of Nintendo Power".
• 13:51 or "same level, but faster and with different backdrop/color scheme" ;)
• 14:02 or "maximum amount of very fast moving sprites, NOW!"
• 14:07 or "we really love sprite flickering, how about you?"
• 14:15 My favourite example of bullshit difficulty is Maze of Galious on the MSX. You need to find a doll to cross a pit of water because that makes sense. How do you find the doll? "HIT THE WALL WITH YOURE SWORD IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE OPPOSITE SHORE." Only there's no indication WHICH wall, so you systemati
• 14:18 Fez literally has one puzzle where people bruteforced the answer but noone knows WHY it's that.
• 14:21 That's an optional puzzle, though. The game is pretty fair if you just want to play through it. It only becomes unfair if you want to reach 200% (sic) completion.
• 14:24 Aren't all puzzles "optional" since "100%" just means "collect half the cubes"? :) Plus that clock puzzle with the two-week phase...
• 15:24 I was playing the ROTT remake. Pretty fun shooter. But the level with extreme jumping puzzles is impossible without quicksave. I stopped there and return back when they implemented quicksave. Pretty fun now again.
