"I can't feel my feelings." Best song about being an android ever.

@jollywoggle: The game is actually a single player game with co-op as an option. Co-op scales up the enemy count with each new player.

I can't get over the inconsistency of the character names. Are they all supposed to be food? Cactuses aren't food. Starch is...kinda food. I'm confused.

Muahhahaha, I has the original uncut version!

Man I am feeling a gloriously dastardly warmth.

This is probably my favorite game of the year. I came to GB looking for their take just last night and there was nothing. Good to see this Quick Look.

This was honestly and righteously cute.

Can they see their feelings, though?

Did the wizards over at Giant Bomb Unarchived manage to save the beginning of the original upload of this Quick Look?

Neat little game. Digging the characters and weapons, plus unlockables are always on my checklist of reasons to buy.

Genuinely enjoyed the little behind-the-curtains peek at how a Quick Look is set up.

This is a fantastic game! Ive been playing it since it first launched and I gotta say, well worth the price. Especially for those who do a lot of couch coop.

I kind of thought the big heads looked bad, so the small heads thing is for folks like me.

@itwongo: out of curiosity are you subbed to Northernlion on youtube? He did a video... 2+ years ago (had to search youtube to find it, but I knew he'd done one).

@westernwizard: Did a search on Youtube a few days ago looking for a trailer and found a 2+ year old Totalbiscuit video on an early build. This game's been in development for a while.

They really have nailed the look and feel with it. That's 2 from 2 GBeast QLs that I've bought in the last week.

@vinny Is it just me, or does the audio on this re-uploaded QL seem synced about a second ahead of the video? All through the QL I kept saying "wait, what are they describi– oh, there it is."

This was definitely the case because I kept thinking I was missing some cue that an enemy had a battery but really the video was just behind the audio.
