Only have Zelda at the moment, but I will probably pick up Fast RMX when I get a bit tired of it. Definitely getting MK8 and Splatoon 2 when they come out too.
Libb - I would definitely have to get a 'real' programmer in to do an xbox one or ps4 version and it'd have to be rewritten from scratch, so I doubt it'd be possible unfortunately. Might be worth contacting someone though, give them a big cut of the version they make etc.
Time to put out the #BuildingTheList signal to Gio Corsi.
Obviously with whatever state of spaghetti-ness the code is in this may be difficult, but any plans for a console release? I think it would be awesome to have this on my PS4 to show to people - definitely has a great cheesy 70s mystery show feel that is as much fun to just watch as it is to play (as GBeast has been demonstrating to great effect).
Also, I definitely agree this is one of the first games in a while that uses FMV that doesn't just feel like "Hey, FMV is dumb, right?" at the audience. Don't get me wrong, the actors definitely know what they're doing (Jenks' facial motions are simultaneously terrible acting and the world's greatest acting ever), but they aren't just using the FMV as a joke or a mere reference to the old-school FMV games - the FMV works hand in hand with the gameplay - a character looking or acting nervous makes it pretty clear there's something up, etc. FMV isn't just a gag or a checkbox - it's a tool to tell the story, no matter how ridiculous it may be at times.
Pretty sure I'm going to buy all of these - I loved Galak-Z when I played it at PAX East last year (although I'm super-bummed it won't be coming to Vita after all - that seemed like the PERFECT Vita game), I love N+, I missed Journey when it came out on the PS3 and figured I'd wait for the PS4 version before going back to it, and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture looks fascinating.
Also, Austin, your/your friend's mom's story about Journey is incredible. Do you have any links to any of the blogs this secret cabal of elder Journeymen wrote? I love hearing stories about people outside of the "usual" demographic of gamers being dedicated to a specific game.
Why are people so violently angry about the early game of Destiny? I will be the first to admit that the grind up to 20 is bad, and that the real game doesn't start until 26 or so once you can get into end-game activities, but it is absolutely no different than the early game of Borderlands, Diablo, or Guild Wars - when I started playing those games, it was just me pecking away at things with garbage items and few skills, but as my character grew in strength and get more powerful items, the world of the game opened up. Could the pace of progression have been better? Absolutely. Could there have been more content to enjoy while leveling up? Of course. But what's there does not merit the vehement responses that people on the Internet led me to believe Destiny was like before I started playing it back in February. Maybe enough changed between launch and February for me to fall deep into the addiction, but the core of the game is still enough the same that I do not understand the difference in opinion.
I won't guarantee quality, but if you go to the way back of the Subscriber video list and check out some of the Whiskey Media Happy Hours, there is some CLASSIC stuff there. It's the closest thing that Giant Bomb has ever had to the old-school On The Spot variety show type setup, although since it covered all of Whiskey Media there's a lot of other topics beyond just games.
If you watched the BLLSL and loved the shit show that was the Will and Norm segment, the Happy Hour had those two goofballs doing dumb stuff pretty much every week. The Screened segments varied in quality, but if you like yourself some surly Matt Rorie and Alex Navarro talking about movies, you will get that in spades. Just be prepared to skip through some segments - Sorry Comic Vine, I ain't watching Preview Theater.
@tekkwizard: Same here. I have an email from April 1st telling me they charged me for the month, but the billing page says I'm now a free member. Hopefully Rorie and Co. will get everything straightened out shortly.
EDIT: And now I look at my comment and I still have my subscriber badge. Hell if I know Chewbacca.
