HOW DO YOU PULL A BRAD IN A GOD GAME? 
 
Also, this game looks amazing, and I don't even like God games.

YO BRAD THIS GAME ISN'T A XBOX 360 EXCLUSIVE I THOUGHT I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW. Ugh, i'm so tired of certain members of the crew just acknowledging the 360 version (granted Brad mentioned the PC version also) and not giving a crap about the PS3 version.

well, its XBL timed exclusive, so by the time it comes out on PS3 no one will give a crap, sadly. look at BG&E. Everyone was excited when it came out on XBL, then when it came out on PSN 5 months later, thanks Ubi and hackers, no one gave a shit. exclusives that never come out on another platform = ok by me. Timed exclusives for one platform and come out on others 6+ months later = fucking bullshit. People are hyped to play something when it comes out on the 1 platform. by the time it comes out on the other theres a ton of other stuff out and no one cares anymore

This game really need some steam hell when you connect water to lava. When everything else looks so good its pretty dissapointing when the lava just dissapears into the water and vice versa.

Quick looks are designed to show off the game, not show off what console they're playing on. Besides, the 360 is where all of their achievements and gaming friends are, so it would only be natural for them to play a game on that system. Also, I'm sure if there are any blatant differences between the two console versions, they would mention it (ex. two Bayonetta reviews).

This looks extremely limited and rather illogical, but kinda neat in a being-different sort of way.  Steam and $5 and I'll probably bite.

It's out on the 360 in two weeks and that's what we're playing it on now. The PSN version, near as I can tell, doesn't even have a release date yet. Does this really need to be explained to you?

I don't get what people are complaining about, you mentioned a PS3 version, so it's all good (personally the PC version is the one I care about).

Also, just friendly advice, keep the game at the forefront of your mind while playing, and the colour commentary in second place. It's much more entertaining to listen when you're paying attention to the game ;) (not making trippy circles with your woolly worm)

Anyhow, keep up the good work!

Why do they spend an hour quicklooking Deadliest warrior and "only" 30 mins quicklooking something that genuinely has lots of mechanics to show?

Cool stuff though.

@rethla: I'm guessing that it's too demanding on the hardware. There's already a lot going on and realistic looking and behaving steam/smoke effects make even games on the PC lose fps like crazy.

They said no more than a minute and a half in that the game isn't out yet and they can't show a ton of it. Maybe once it's out they can do another quick look and show some of the more complex levels.

I'm really glad this got a QL. The promotional videos made it look amazing but I needed a better feel for the gameplay. Anyways, the game looks great and I hope Brad gets to play the PC version because that's what I'm leaning toward.

Speaking as a dude who really likes mythology, the fact that they wrote a frankly absurd amount of text about the myths and lore of these fictional people and they included gameplay relevant information in that lore that you have to read between the lines to find, is so fucking cool to me.

1. A woolly worm is a caterpillar, also known as a woolly bear or a woolly booger. They have a whole festival for them in Banner Elk.
2. I'm not a tree hugging vegan, and I think quinoa is the bomb! 
3. This game doesn't look half bad.

 
Edit: Vinny was spot on about obsidian. Also, I have a butt load of actual arrowheads (not obsidian) I dug up from my grand parents' property. They are insanely common on the east coast. That would make sense since Native Americans were hunting and fighting around here for many years.

Obsidian is when lava hits water in Terraria, therefore it must be so in real life!

This is exactly what I was hoping it would be, it looks awesome. The fluid dynamics interacting with the terrain deformation is pretty damn cool, as a programmer I kind of geek out about that stuff.
