Quick Look: Botolo

@aecioo: I actually read it as Botulism.

@alex: @vinny: You sure you want that e-mail address out there? I hope it's a throwaway.

I'm Botolo santosi .

I just like saying Botolo

I think you have Alex's hotmail email address visible on the Steam page at one point. Dunno if that's a problem or if that address is public. It is now!

@hassun: You didn't close your eyes when vinny said so! Got you!

@forteexe21: What has been seen...

@aecioo: I see what you did there. And I appreciate it.

Unlike Nidhogg or some of the other 'Couch Co-op' games they've played, this game seems pretty indecipherable for observers.

The deck has the old "the the" in it.

Vinny brings up the electric shock game, and he knows about it all too well.

This seems like a Botolo of fun.

@dr_mel: That's my spam email. I don't really care if anyone knows it.

@alex: I half-figured since it's a hotmail address. lol Just checking!

That font. Read the image and interpreted this as some kind of Ready Player One game.

Reminds me a bit of Gankutsuou, which did that weird thing with textures. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at, but kind of boring as an actual show.

I don't know how many people will appreciate that considering the demographic here, but I want you to know that I do.

Lots of examples of that texture thing here, and apparently it's called "Unmoving Plaid."

Okay, when Dan said he didn't know what "Miss Mary Mack" was, that got a little incredulous for me. Is Dan just starting childhood?

I'm 32, and pretty well-learned, and have no idea what that is.

+1 on never having heard of Miss Mary Mack.

These "Dan didn't know something I know?!" barbs are getting ridiculous.

@bathala: Haha, glad that people exist who never forget Bolo.

Never heard of Miss Mary Mack either. Was she in charge of the Funky Bunch?

Also this game makes me feel like I'm looking at a 90s Magic Eye poster.

EDIT: Oh, Alex totally said this 15 seconds after I posted this, so don't I feel foolish.

Really nice art style, but the gameplay may be a bit minimalistic.

So basically they made an entire game around teching throws? The concept and artstyle clash i feel, like this feels like it needs a more bright, clean look like videoball so you can see what you are doing and not get all confused by the psychedelic patterns going on.

Yeah I'm 26 and I have no clue either.

I feel like that's a strange thing to get incredulous about out of the list of things that dan has said.

Had to look it up, but Mary Mack is a clapping game sung by children. The lyrics themselves are unfamiliar to me, but the melody is definitely something I've heard before.

"you run out of block juice?" "can they run out of like steal juice?" Dan seems to be obsessed with juice.

That last thank you in the end sounds like Austin Walker.

This game belongs in a bond movie.

Bottle-o

Cool menus.

It's the steals of basketball mixed with the back and forth of like....pro tennis.

I'll allow @danryckert to not know Miss Mary Mack, as he also seems to think it's Duck Duck Grey Duck

How's that blue?

It's not that different from the one in Never Say Never Again, actually

My eyes were spacing out on the background the whole time.

@kevin_cogneto: Nice clip! that's exactly what I was thinking of!

Let's be fair to Dan. He knows it's Duck Duck Goose. It was the people from Minnesota (like Tim Turi) who think it's Duck Duck Grey Duck. Because people in Minnesota are weird.

Why do they keep calling green blue?

Edit: Ok, fine, it's cyan, with a very slight skew on the green side.

why does it bother me so much that they put the emphasis on the first instead of the second syllable

My heart was racing just watching them play

@haychew21: I came in here to cite this. Also wanted to name-check one of the most prominent intentional examples: Chowder.
