AM I DREAMING? finally a video on giant bomb without Patrick?! WHAT?!

But yet you're still making the comment section about Patrick.. idiot.

Yeah no kidding. People that bitch about the staff members (especially Patrick) are always a thousand times more annoying than any of the staff members could ever dream to be. But what does that say about the people bitching about the guy bitching.... Bitchception.

What does what you said say about about what I'm saying about what hes saying regarding bitching about someone bitching about someone bitching about a staff member, and then now I'm bitching about it...maybe.

This may be just me, but I don't think he's not whining or complaining or cheering that Patrick isn't in it. He's making a statement that conveys surprise that Mr. Klepek is not part of a Quick Look of what is clearly an "artsy" game.

Why must everyone be so negative?

I found the most interesting parts of 4am to be the menus. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that PixelJunk 4am is not for me.

A $10 music visualizer, I think this goes without saying, but, I think I will pass on this one.

If they're going to have the subtitle be "4am", they need to frame the entire game in the bottom of a shot glass.

Bland sounding music aside, I am disapointed by the lackluster visualizations. I was expecting something more visually compelling form PixelJunk.

I don't quite understand why this has the PixelJunk name on it. Are they just opening that brand up to "whatevs"?

These visualizers are pretty super shitty, that and the music sounds pretty bland. Disappointing weird thing.

You guys should have gotten a hand held and recorded Jeff doing all the motions to include as a picture-in-picture. I think it's missing something without seeing Jeff with the wand in his hand.

Nice! Iced him.

Hey Evan, I don't recall saying anything about you in my comment, but somehow you felt like you were being attacked by me or something 'cause you called me an idiot. Or maybe you're just a dumb bellend who calls people idiots when they say something he doesn't like. Whatever the case may be, fuck you.

I don't give a fuck about Patrick to be honest. I was just making fun of everyone always complaining about him. He's all right, even though he sometimes annoys me, but I couldn't care less if he is in the videos or not.

This game is much more complex than how it seems in this video. You can loop the one shots as you want, there are synthlines, you can change the effects so they sound completely different. One can build up a full track just with oneshot sounds and then tweak and rerecord them seamlessly. In my oppinion it's totally worth the 10 bucks and is superenjoyable especially when you've got some duders around, maybe even some beers! =) There's also a mode for two move controllers, but havent tried that. Come and feel my grooves one day! I'm Lorbst

(i'm Danish and tired, sorry for the weird sentences!)

Don't apologize Lorbst, you're great! You're a great Dane.

This looks fun for 10 bucks, maybe something to throw on with some friends, but I don't own a move, sadly. I'm all for stuff like this and Double Fine Action Theater; make motion control games crazy-ass toys!

Seems like it has hidden depth, but I'd expect it to sound much more excited.

This DJ Jeff is not jazzy enough for my taste.

Noo, why the hell is there no camera on the guy what is playing :( These kinect/move quick looks are not the same without it.

Their Quicklook room in the new office is small, and it doesn't have a greenscreen for direct filming. They've said that they're working on getting a proper video studio that they don't need to share with the other employees.

I'm kind of into the viewing stuff, especially 'cause it's free. But to use it is kinda dumb.

I can see if you are on drugs or at a party or something this could be fun? (I guess that's really true of all techno like this though huh?). But its not for me, glad more different stuff is on PSN, and glad the Move works really well with it, what a diverse developer Q-Games is huh? Not into all their games (Eden needed a free play mode!), but kudos for trying guys! And if like Jeff if you are into this stuff than it could be a good purchase, but again not for me.

Wow, so much for the better and bigger support for content creation. That was the sole justification for going back to their former employers, and yet, I feel like nothing has improved production and presentation wise. I understand that these kind of things takes some times, but its already been awhile and I have yet to have seen something making me think this whole deal has been worthwhile at all.
