Right now I haven't really listened to a Bombast in at least 5 months. For the first time I am 99% sure I am cancelling my sub...s...

Because you have an addictive personality and that in turn has been applied to something you enjoy. As long as its not debilitating there is nothing wrong with it. Playing those games is activating the reward pathways in your brain. People do this with more things than they understand with both work and play. I wouldn't worry about it too much, honestly...unless you are having trouble like "I am losing sleep because I think about Skyrim" or "I call out sick to play Skyrim". If something like that is happening you might want to reevaluate things.

I've streamed/played about 5 hours worth. I haven't had this exploratory rush since the first Dark Souls game. If this is released this year I know its going to be on my top 10 list. With it being as fully fleshed out as it is in early access I can't imagine it would take but a few months for it to come out in full release.

Looks like it will going on sale for early access buyers this Tuesday, 2/3.

Kickstarter backers have started receiving their codes for the "early access" version of this game. Even in its current state the game is great. I really enjoy the dynamic of party placement and mental afflictions. The game, in its current state, is fairly unforgiving. That's not a complaint, but a matter of fact. I am hoping for a way to get concrete information on everything that afflictions such as "paranoia" or "masochism" effect.

The easiest thing to compare the game to, with the "death system" is XCOM. While I don't see myself getting attached to characters like I did in that game (RIP Carl "Black Cops" Winslow), I have already found myself slipping into that state of mind. The bounty hunter class is my favorite so far, and of course he's died at the end of each dungeon. I have a feeling that if you are playing the game "Correctly" you will be using tons of characters opposed to select few as the characters' stress and effects can negatively effect subsequent dungeon crawls. Even an hour into the game I already gained a disdain for specific enemy types because of their abilities to do things such as knockback, bleed, and more.

I'm also impressed with Red Hooks twitter and forum presence as they are quick to reply to any questions I have or bugs that I discovered. The biggest bug is an OBS/streaming issue that doesn't allow the resolution to scale correctly. Either way, I'm confident they'll squash all of those and deliver a solid product. I've enjoyed this so much that even though I backed the PC Kickstarter I will still pay for the PS4 version when it is released.

No information on if they will sell the early access version of if it will stay backer only.

I would love a PC version of all the Rogue Squadron games, but I'm pretty sure we'll never see it.

Honestly, I love the feature. I've always thought Mario Party was an awful game...because it is, but God bless these guys for playing through it. I've loved all 3.

@artisanbreads: I really wanted to walk down the aisle at my wedding like this to "no chance in hell". My wife, the non-mark in this relationship, didn't think that it was as funny as I did.

@thunderstorm101: I'm not in the UK, but I've personally had great visual quality for all the PPVs I've watched.

@theblue: Let's be honest, insulting entire groups of people who likes things he deems aren't cool is the only thing Jeff does with his Twitter.
